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

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.

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

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.

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
