    the most important thing with identifying a sub is the feel of it.

     

    I'll second that and add another spice in to the mix : the smell. In all my years (~10) of hunting around the world I've met loads of people who, after the obvious visual/touch identification then rely on smell for the final confirmation, myself included.

    If you've eaten a decent dose of fresh subs, that smell will never leave you (!) and be a constant hunting companion.

    Still... "if in doubt, throw it out" is a good mantra to repeat to yourself when starting out. Once you've got a good season or two under your belt you will wonder why it was ever difficult and start finding them all over the freakin' place. I usually find them in pine plantations / forest floor / field / landscaped areas etc. Pay attention to the trees they like to grow near too and other indicative species such as Stropharia Aurantica for those urban hunters.

    Yo rumple - cheers for the welcome message. Feelin' the love... :-) have been a long time lurker, so I feel like i've been a member for yonks, and in the beginning stages of a full blown cactus fanatic. What better time to get involved. I'm in the inner west of Melbourne, and getting pretty excited about the up-coming sub season too! Warmer months == cactus porn, colder == shroom porn! Ah yes, sorry myco, mini-hijack... back to the lophs
