i can also help you out.
creating databases and creating sql queries are actually fairly easy. there are very basic rules, and as long as you follow them you wont land yourself in any greif.
but maybe i can say that cause i was working as a web developer for quite a while. primarily using mysql and php.
the important thing to remember when setting up the database is to not repeat data. work out what relationships exist within the information you have and go from there.
sql is no more than "get info from xyz table given condition in this order", it does get more complicated but for most jobs thats about it.
a good way to get you head around it is to use information architecture, the oreilly polar bear book being the classic.
boxes and arrows is one of the best sites when it comes to learning how to organise data and also set up usability. setting up an efficient database can turn into a major usability issue, as your website may reflect the decisions you make about how to organise your data and sebsequent relationships.
eeeks... went to far.
feel free to pm me if you want.
cheers, Obtuse.

Not the best pics for id.
but from what i can tell, looks more like Russula sp. to me
especially with the pink stem, and lack of annulus

Great pic

Well,
still too dry in Tas where i am.
bit of rain last night, but we are having unusaully high temps for tassie during the day for this time of year so it isnt helping.
looking like another month before it gets wet enough and we get consistent cold temps for growth.
getting a few autumn species popping up but nothing too exciting yet.
cheers, Ob.

I dont know about melbourne,
but about 16 years ago i used to find them in a suburban landscaped location in Hobart.
given this was in Sandy Bay which is a lot closer to bush land than say suburban melbourne,
but i figured that it was still far enough away from their usual known habitats in hobart to be of note.
I have found that they are highly adaptive, and will piggyback their way into what ever location they can when they can.
just gotta keep your eyes open.
cheers, Ob.

Gee Ed,
Sounds like a hoot!!!
i'd love to come along if it werent for other commitments. Would love to have a look at interstate samples and make notes of differences.
for those not so experinced it would be a great opportunity to get the camera out for some great pics, and learn about some local mycology.
wish i could be there.
Cheers, Ob.

sweet spot mayo.
very nice. and brilliant pic too. very nice indeed.
best of luck.
but on the watering front. dont go overboard, i have seen them develop very brittle stems after periods of LOTS of rain. so while a nice healthy splash is good, too much is not.
ive seen them develop nice healthy stems from light sprinkles and dew alone. Moss is especially good as i suspect it holds the moistute that helps them grow strong stems.
size is good, but imo not at the price of brittle structure.
cheers, Ob.

awesome. lookin good.
Last year my front lawn was covered with them. hope it happens again this year.
this time i'll get pics.

awwwwww dude.... you had to go and make me hungry didnt you...

Earliest i have seen them was mid march.
obviously cold where your friend is.
-
7 degrees!
i would have thought more like between 4 to 6 degrees.
rain is good, but i think heavy dews are also very helpful in getting the mosture levels in the ground to the right amount. you can also get too much moisture which results in brittle stems.
no real pearls of wisdom from me, except for your own learning, just make mental notes of where and when you find them, and light and moisture conditions so you can compare to other locations. after a little while youll learn to recognise what they like and where you are likely to find them. and then one day youll find a whole heap that blow all your experince out the window.
have fun on your hikes, make sure if you find any you take heaps of pics to share with us as they are a very photogenic species.

awesome.
wish i could go. I loved his book "shamanism, colonialism, and the wild man".
Id recommend going if you can.
cheers, Ob.

Well Done
Happy growing, and enjoy watching the growing process. You will develop a bond with these plants, and they will reward your love, especially when you plant them in the ground, 'cause they grow like crazy.
dont show them too much love tho, i killed quite a few from over enthusiasm when i first started.
anyway, enjoy. welcome to the forum.
Cheers, Obtuse.

Yeah im a metho fan too.
you get used to the smell after a while. I bought some of that rubbing alcohol naja, im not really into that smell. metho for me.
i use a mixture of 80/20 metho to water, and use a spray bottle set on the vapouroser setting.
gets things nice and clean everytime.
Cheers, Obtuse.

Sorry about that everyone.
I've been really busy last few days, and wasnt around to attend to it as soon as i should have.
You get that on the big jobs.
Cheers, Obtuse.

flippity gibbit.
thats fricking awesome. im am amazed.

My understanding is thats its only the really red ones that have been reported as interesting.
and that the lighter coloured ones, while some may look really pretty, miss out.
im no expert on this, so its best to uste if you want more in depth info.
cheers, Obtuse.

You can get these quite easily at nurseries.
but i think you may have to get specific cultivars. I think fire engine red was one, and there may be a couple other interesting ones.
probably best to avoid all the pink and purple ones.
Cheers, Obtuse.

Yes tripsis i do believe it was J's talk. lots of other info here on sab about that too.
Go for obtusifolia. really easy to grow, and quick. when they get growing they dont muck about.
also floribunda. they can be found in nurseries, bunnings, etc. very common, and these are def insane growers.
Cheers, Obtuse.

damn i thought you meant the comic book.
we should stater an asterix groupie thread.
cheers, Obtuse.

yeah make your own plates. its really easy.
remember to use different recipes now and then when you make plates, as the mycelium will lose its virility if continuously grown on the same media.
Also a good way to encourage woodloving mycelium is to add some tea made from the species you plan on introducing them too into your agar.
and dont forget, be very very clean. only takes a few days for nasties to take over your plates.
Cheers, Ob.
