Sales rep?

Yep. Its in Fenris's post above . I know the yeast extract/vitamin b complex would be beneficial, not to sure about the salt levels though. Any info on how salt affect Myc?

Very nice ! How old is the plant ?

You work in a bubble wrap factory and your the official bubble wrap tester... POP!

PM'd also. Pan man Pan !

Sida Rhomb and its close relative Sida Cordifolia both contain alkaloids beneficial in the treatment of colds and flu's as well as asthma. Ephedrine and Pseudoephedrine are some of the interesting alkaloids found in these plants. There is plenty of info on the web as well as on this forum, for example : Sida Rhombifolia Enjoy

Nice, now wheres my microscope WWW Gets 10 L.williamsii seeds, 10 A.obtusi seeds, 10 A.longifolia seeds and 10 A.baileyana seeds. WWW

Got a be in it to win it !! So... I'm in

Thanks Fezz !! Turned up today. My smurfs say thankyou for providing me the ability to grow them some new homes p.s. Smurfette wants to thank her hero personally ;). hehe

Thanks Gerbil! Seeds arrived on Friday. Much appreciated, All hail Gerbil !!

How about finding out who is in charge so to speak and ask if you can have a cutting. Offering something in return would probably go in your favour to sweeten the pot. If no harm was caused to the plant in the process I don't see why they would say no. Unless they have a specific policy against such things. Worth a try at least

Yes please Gerbil !! PM comin at ya

Not really derived from Khat then by the looks. Unless that is they oxidise cathinone to nor pseudoephedrine then methylate that to pseudoephedrine and then oxidise that to get methcathinone. Be easier to use ephedra and go straight from E to MC squared Just out of curiosity whats the favoured salt product?

Any Who getting back to the original topic at hand. I believe that cathinone although being unstable and oxidising outside its protective environment inside the plant very quickly, IS stable in its salt form. Therfore a tailor made extraction tek using a slightly acidic solvent from fresh material should theoretically extract the cathinone safely in its salt form. If this "party" pill is indeed derived from Khat and is active as described then i'd say this is probably whats in it. Cathinone Hydrochloride. If only my Khat was a lil larger I could test this theory, but that would be a no no in big bro eye's wouldn't it. Theory will have to sufice then

WoooHooo... I love comps I'll put my hand up. Thax jono

Hey Watertrade, Good to see a fellow canberran Lots of plants are good to go here, all depends on what your trying to achieve They have to be frost tollerant and drought tollerant (not a necesity if you can keep watering up) helps to. Here are some plants that I have in my lil patch, Ephedras Carex Acacia longifolia, triptera, obtusifolia. Sceletium Catha Edulis (Narrow leaf) Cyperus Acorus Sida Lactuca (serrosa is EVERY where) Petalostylis labicheoides (butterfly bush) There are many more suitable for ACT but i've only been collecting for 4 months or so. Theres many more on my wish list Ace lives in this neck of the woods to Im sure he'll be able to suggest some as well. have fun

Is it possible to harvest myc from a wild shroom patch? I was thinking this migh be an easier way of collecting when combined with a peroxide tecnique. Any thoughts?

I'm sure you could obtain wild myc without doing any more damage than that done by picking the mushroom. You would only need the smallest piece, just a starting point for a culture of some sort. Using a shovel to obtain myc would be like using a flame thrower to kill an ant. A pair of tweezers would be more than adequate. My reasoning is that myc is resistant to peroxide and as such harvesting myc instead of spores may make it easier to produce a clean culture when incorperated with a peroxide tek. Granted, you could go for a tissue sample from the centre of a cup, but if the species is delicate in structure then this may prove more difficult than snaging some myc. Anyway I just thought i'd put the notion out there. Havern't seen that much info on this avenue and wondered why it wasn't mentioned more. Thanx for the input pplz. Has anyone tried this first hand. Just curious about experiences and pros/cons.

Yeah he's a nice bloke, got some Loph and Tricho seeds off him a week or 2 ago. Smooth and pleasant transaction, good prices too. I'm yet to plant as I am still putting together the proper steup for germ. Be interesting to see what the viability of his seeds are.

Sorry Shroomytoons, I should of clarified. Stupid me posted the same info twice by accident. Just wanted the duplicate post removed that i edited to "Moderator Please Remove".

How about Arizona Cactus Garden. Not exactly a nursery, more of a seed bank. Has a massive species listing. Worth a mention anyway. I'd definatly try SAB and Herbalistics first, but if they havern't got what your after then this guy probably does.

Thanx Apoth Musta missed this thead. Matenence eh, Mystery solved.

Hey all, Is anyone else having problems with the new ethnobotany-australia site? I can't seem to get the page to display. Its been doing this for about 2 days now. Any info?

Hey pplz, I'm looking to establish a culture collection and I'm not confident enough to source from the wild. Seems like a much smarter idea to me to obtain some prints from the mucho knowedgable folk around this forum and learn to identify from 100% ID species, that I have grown. So If any of the seasoned myconaughts out there are able to toss a budding myconaught a scrape or 2, PM please. Thanx all
