  1. It's a common issue with the variety but you can help lmit this by keeping them in a well drained healthy soil.   They need soil with nutrients but it is best to be easy draining.  it can be due to the temperature and humidity as well but they generally like a sunny position obviously don't over water, let the soil dry at least on the top part before watering.   The soil should not become hydrophobic but they should be able to resist drought for short times.  I am not sure I can tell you much more being that it is such a hands on thing for me so without seeing the conditions and soil etc thats about the best I can tell you.  I am not on here often, I last visited 3 or four years ago so all the best.


  2. Growing ephedra is a mission, seed germination can be tricky. When I germinate ephedra sinica I guess theyd be the same, is I get a rough piece of clean sandpaper and scuff them up well. I have also used a scarification process where I take a knife and nik each seed with the knife. putting them in a solution of, I forget the name of the acid. its specially for germinating and making plants flower early. anyway you can just soak them over night and thn plant them in some seed raising mix. can take about two to three weeks to come up and vry slow growers. jhope this helps a bit. I will find out the name of that acid its like gerbrallic acid or something. yes thats it.

  4. It's hard to describe but it has a watery taste but there's something that's hard to describe about the taste of fresh magic shrooms. It's not a distinct flavour which makes the taste alone impossible to make a conclusion which is why I ask because it could be a flavour that is present in many types!


  5. Found a species of sponge mushroom that oxidises blue from bruising. Any info please tell, I have never seen a species of mushroom that has the distinct blue bruising of a psylicybe shroom on a sponge type. Is this a psychoactive type? It is extremely interesting compared to any other look alike I have ever seen. Could it be a active hallucinogen? It smells like mushroom and tastes like psylicyben from the bit I nibblled on and spat out!

  6. Thanks for all the replies, yes the print confirms it isn't a CR, why I didn't think of doing that first? Sometimes being outdoors with the sun and changes in weather will make you have to look twice at your shroom to check the variety your looking at. Where I come from on the top of the southern island nz there are heaps of Subaeruginosa. I grew up watching them spring up all over the garden and nearly every bark garden the council laid around the community. So cubes are still new to me and a little expert help is sometimes much appreciated. I knew the soil had a couple varieties in it and also a truffle sample so there were only a couple chances of what it was going to be. Also not a very good idea to use soil layden with mycelium for plants they tend to get fungal infection, go figure!

    Peace :)

  7. Ok so here's the print, and looks like its the Golden Teacher, because I think Columbian Rust is a light tan or pinky white spore. Will re-check my memory is correct for colour but this one is definite pinky- purple to black. Has excellent blue bruise around cut so no doubt it's Cubensis.

  8. Yeah that's what I mean, there's so many nurseries out there still selling them and normally when a law goes through they are first to get rid of them. Also apparently there's Bruges in the wild here in oz! As for the others well I'm not totally convinced I should go out and stomp my garden yet but it means I gave to be more careful how open I am with them when the landlords ask!


  9. Ok. I just keep getting asked when I move house,by landlords," oh that's illegal isn't it, (brugmansia) and of coarse in NZ they aren't, so I say no its media hype about proposed legislation I think you'll find. But then I thought I better check as I wasn't real sure. But I only have one little lophora pup, and two small cuttings etc... But I enjoy building my collection doing grafts selective breeding, so on. I just enjoy having plants that have potential for medicine and just exotic plants. So I think it's true what you say that it's only if I was to have a production line garden or was trying to mix up a brew for Alice in wonderland. But if a nasty landlord or whatever wanted I could get in trouble could I? Well sounds that way! That's crap! They were gods gift to man before the government decided they were taking over management! Stupid. I thought it was still legitamate to grow certain species if you were a part if a botanic group such as we are.


  10. Oh and lophora cacti,

    I was reading a page online and it said they were made illegal. Does anyone know the details about these species of plants as I have been collecting for years and these are just a few of the ones I have been starting to collect again after leaving my whole collection of plants and cacti in NZ to live in Queensland. I just think there is a lot of different ideas on them and I would like a bit of clarity.


  11. Yes I found that out now. Stupid law. A bit off research topic but still same fungi, I actually heard back in NZ that if people who wanted to eat them,( it was illegal of coarse because it meant picking and holding which would be harvesting and possession). But I heard,( & of coarse it's hard to know for sure), but, if you were to get down and pick them with your mouth it wasn't illegal if you ate them because its called grazing! Lol! Yeah human grazing rights. So if you have the right to graze on grass and herbs and just happened to eat psylicibe mushrooms it was legal. Anyone know if that's true? Yeah this cool freaky hippy dude from west coast of NZ told me when I was doing a South Island tour in a Winnebago.
