Sometimes this can be skin damage. Sun burn after keeping in a dark place too long or being damaged by something brushing against it hard. Something else to keep in mind.

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.

Hi, it's been a while since I have been actively posting but hi everyone. Had a few medicinals but haven't been looking for anything else to get or trade at present.

Hi yes I do, please let me know price per oz, I'll get back to you tomorrow. Cheers.

Wanting some Syrian Rue. Dried plant matter fresh please, PM me ;)

Not as far as I know. I'm certain it's not legal in Queensland, nsw I'm not as sure about gerianda and minima but not sinica. So it's probably a no. Not legally. It's even pretty tough getting venders to post to Australia now days but of coarse there are those places online that'll sell you anything.

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.

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!

Boletus badiusi believe they are called thanks to tangich for that info. Awesome fast response but I already threw it on a culture to breed it. I'll enjoy watching it grow in comparison to other shrooms on agar.

Yeah I like that last description! But what do stars taste like? Everything, and everything is in everything! Lol. Water maybe the thing that all shrooms have in common. Well thanks for the prompt answers, excellent!

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!

Excellent, thanks BlueGreenie nice to have your input. Respect for your knowledge on the subject.

I have a Cubensis mushroom or two popping out of a pot. Can anyone tell if its a Golden Teacher or columbian rust ?

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

Pass, interesting as your question is its not helping!

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.

Can anyone tell me have Brugmansia of all varieties been Banned made illegal to grow as a collector? And the same question again but for Ephedra viridis and Ephedra gerardiana? I

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!

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.

Sorry but what? Don't get how that answers the question but thanks for your interest!

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.
