Hey guys, chuck this podcast on in the background - looks like we are moving in the right track, is this the global awakening we hear about?? Ooooh yeah... :) http://enpsychedelia.podomatic.com/entry/2012-08-12T08_35_17-07_00

A hunt in the Himalayas - http://www.shroomery...00/fpart/1/vc/1

Another peice of editorial vomit - http://au.gwn7.yahoo.com/w1/video/-/watch/29932789/more-magic-mushrooms-seized-in-south-west/ In a way, there are some plus sides to this kind of journalism - anyone with half a brain who can research things for themselves will be able to see how much the media lies, and hopefully the new 'internet' generation will start losing faith in it and they will go out of business... Also, its probably serves to scare off some of the hunters who aren't as passionate or respectful to the area.

More popping up -

But don't let them freeze!

A monster from this year -

I found a patch of 6 or so last year, but I never posted the pics (lazy... ). Again, this year, they are in the same place -

Sadly, it has been done.... Sensationalist media at its best - http://au.gwn7.yahoo.com/w1/video/-/watch/29795220/four-men-charged-with-possession-of-50-000-drugs/

I think it looks very interesting, I can see why it has caught your attention...

Wow, they are truly monsters. Amazing finds, what a beautiful looking location!! These were the biggest I have ever seen - http://files.shroomery.org/files/09-12/774719915-13185.jpg

Wow, beautiful! Something I've always wanted to do but was too lazy. Now, get it into bunnings and hire me to help you keep up with the orders...

Hmmmm, I'll have a dig around and see if an old specimen is still in the fridge, otherwise, this year may prove fruitful...

I reckon it was a sub too.... but we will never know!

If you wait until July, I can get you wild prints... As tripsis said, the glowing species in NSW at this time of year is most likely a Mycena sp.

Very interesting article - Link!

'The champagne of fungus'

Pretty sure its a sterile cube, but white gills always freak me out.

Psilocybe subaeruginascens - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybe_subaeruginascens

Great info, thanks!

The term used to describe a culture losing its vigour is 'Senescence' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senescence. As stated above, a master or 'mother' culture can stop this to a point. Age is inevitable, at which point you need to start from a fresh print.

Wow, you just re-sparked my fungus fire with those pics, thanks Mr mayo...

Siiiick, see you there...

Looks amazing!! I haven't been doofing much lately, BUT - this halloween we have Tom Cosm, The Mollusk AND Curcuit Bent... crikey
