  1. Dunno why - but upon seeing the amount of rando fungi popping up in my yard I decided to go for a drive. Cyans are still out. Though not many. However - I found these cyans I wish I took a picture of. They were literally multi coloured on top. Base colour pale white cyan, with a yellow metallic look and blue green veins running through it. Tiny - 5cent piece size. Almost like those metallic beetles you see. 
     

    im sure they were cyans. But damn - I weighed them wet. 3.5g very wet. And it feels like I’ve had 3.5g dry. I only wanted a micro dose lol. But this is crazy strong. 


  2. I got a bunch of cuttings around 6 years ago here and I have this one type I really like. Compared to the rest it’s a noticeably more blue shade of green. And it’s grows very fast. I started with a skinny 30cm cut and I’ve got 6 now that are around 3 inch diameter and probably around 6meters worth. Trying to figure out if it’s worth making tea.

  3. Yeah it’s tricky. I had a dozen plants sent from VIC to QLD for my Xmas present. 2 died, the others all good. They all came in 50mm tubes and the soil looked like normal potting mix mixed with water crystals and then packing taped up to keep the soil in. 
     

    I think it’s a combination of a lot of things,

    type of plant, the stress of posting, how longs it takes, the conditions during post (oops box left in the sun etc) and the climatization of the plant on its new environment. 
    last time I had acacias sent to me they were in 50mm tubes as well... and well. Now one of those is 10m tall lol. 


  4. Meh, I used to do it, now I never worry other than a piece of gravel just to keep the drainage holes open. I think it’s more the soil mix than the layer of drainage gravel. If the soil is mud, it’s gonna hold water no matter how well the drainage layer is done.  
    in larger pots, I add worms and worm castings, they help to airate the soil. 
     

    other thing is when it rains, get your pots out to be flushed through with the rain water. 


  5. Yeah ok. I defiantly think it’s blue meanies I’m familiar with. And defiantly saw none of them around. These ones I found just stood out and looked ‘obvious’. But really I need another soul to show me first hand I think. I’m not game enough to down a maybe mushrooms lol. 


  6. Yeah. We ended up going around Tamborine. Nothing really. Found a few that look possible - but now I think I’m gonna put the call out to anyone who wants a picking buddy in the next week or so to hit me up. I think I need someone who knows the climate and can ID the ones around. I didn’t see anything I’m familiar with from NQ. 


  7. Love it - I want to do the same. But time and money is my issue. Not sure about a commercial version. You can get solar water boilers any the like, perhaps copy the idea. Otherwise you’d use the suns evap power if you didn’t want to use a heating element. I would add a final stage to the drinking water using a ceramic filter like the ones in the water urns you can buy. as a way to reduce the final water collection from becoming stagnet or anything, you can buy these ‘rocks’ to sit in the water. Literally can’t remember what they are called. But there’s a silver one and a mineral one.
