  1. just make sure it hasnt been used. mum tried to get me one from honkers,

    she was denied by customs 'cause of remanents of the big O. And it was made of

    ivory,double whammy.

  2. Congrats birdman, got any pics?

    Aw ta unders! You dont know how i wish i had a camera,was even gonna buy a disposable

    from the servo but totally forgot.Got a birthday coming up,its 1st on the list

  3. Its cold enough here now at least at that altitude and we've had a really decent rain or two. Hence they're back. Not down on the coast yet... just in the ranges, in euc forest too not pine.

    I woke this morning at 4:30 thinkin i got abso nuthin on today..thats it,i must go back

    for another hunt! It had been about a week and i looking in a complete diff area to last

    week,deeeeep ferny gullies and grass with a little pine mixed in. I wish you guys knew how

    stoked i am as this is my first susscesful mission after years, i tells ya . got some great Myc samples

    which was all i really wanted in the first place,box is hopefully colonising as we speak.

    The amount of mushrooms (of all varieties) was astonishing..literally like weeds on the ground!

    They were not the biggest of specimens but not tiny either..all found growing solitary and

    ALWAYS alongside gallerinas!! Teyre back but always be safe guys.

  4. A bit early isn't it?

    Thats what im hoping on mate.Understanding microclimates could

    produce the right conditions though whislt up therr even though it

    was raining and cold,cert not obe's cold.

  5. Sorry to be so vague on locations...

    1000mtrs - great dividing range. I'm sure oberon etc would be a fungal wonderland atm.

    I haven't been up yet myself but the report was "they are everywhere" - I'm very excited, just have to get these next two bloody assignments done for uni by Thursday and I'm going camping

    peace

    spent eight hours searching hamdon @ obes. Fungal wonderland,even sponges,the edibles are being picked(milk caps etc)

    after easily spending 7+ years knowing the area very well enduro bike riding..@ hunting, still yet to find my patch.

  6. L&L & Birdman, still warm for subs, but as husk said, are the saffron milk caps popping? (the ugly orange edibles)

    Hey Unders! Yes bag loads,know so coz i had a half hour coversation

    in the middle of now where in a pine forest with a 70 year old russien

    couple..sounds weird but it was the nicest thing. Met another bloke and

    his mum from slovenia or something collecting the same.Big ones to but

    they tended to be older and more rotten so it seems they have prob fruited

    twice so far. Grab your green coles bags and get up there its at its prettiest

    in Autumn.

  7. Cheers for the pix info Naja.....i spent 8 hours yesterday around Hamden,Oberon

    and had no luck in the subz department. If only the amanitas were what i was after.

    lots and lolts of beatuiful specimens of a hell of a lot of families. ive been searching

    for years for them with no luck really,they say they find you...what if they dont like me???

  8. yea the rain has hit me at in the hills district but we need more sun then more rain

    Good to see another hills boy...the dreams at night have been going for a couple

    a weeks now,calling to me..have to answer..

  9. Hello to all,nice to read you.

    I have a favour to ask the community?

    After trolling and lurking without alota

    luck and wanted to possibly ask any members

    if they have good habitat shots of where a

    find has been located? not after photos of the suby

    but like from 5-10 metres away?

    this would really be appreciated guys,thanx 4 reading.

    B.M

  10. Yeah ive recived a letter too..'was trying to "get in" a funky aquraium

    type incubator + spores from the Nederlands. I had a few e mails with the vendor who

    assured me that it would be as discreet as poss,that he's sent here before (failed to ask if successful),

    No signage or ads etc.......got the friendly customs letter and an awesome poster of Stropharia Cub.

    that the the vendor put in the box..
