    gees mate almost getting towards the end of the season but there should be a few still about. Edibles grow in different areas though - I hear they have black trumpets down in the Otways. Otherwise most just stick to the pine trees for saffies, grey ghosts, and the like. Birchies are finished for the year.

    Some thoughts that I have:

    I know someone that was extremely big user of weed for 12 years. When that person quit they experienced extreme anxiety that froze the person up completely to the point if creating a lind of anxious depression. This person ended up on an SSRI and it made the person feel 'the best they had on years'. Before smoking weed and during the 12 year habit the person never experienced mental health issues of any kind. I guess its like DTs or something. Sudden lack of cannabinoid receptor stimulation I guess.

    occasionally when I get a bad flare up of an autoimmune condition I have my mood is also effected and I find nothing interesting or motivating in any way. Over time I've realized for me this is a dopamine depression that caffeine, pseudoephedrine and rhodiola can remedy. Thankfully it doesn't last long - maybe a few days but my rhurmatologist said its common in autoimmunity. Just a thought

    I thought strictipes seemed like a possibility? alutecea? Or as you say it could just be coprophila.

    Yes I know someone who was present when a type specimen of semilanceata was collected on Mt Buffalo, Vic.

    Blue foots and Pied Bleu (spelling?) are interchangeable terms for both field and wood blewits (Lepista saeva/personata and Lepista nuda) - and saeva has a whiter cap and a more potent, fruity flavour. If the market picture is from europe this might also be a possibility.

    But the main commercial wood blewit isolate is an albino strain from France.

    Those store sold blewits are of the semi albino isolate I've been trying to get my hands on fir a while. Grown on compost cased.

    the Sa blewit looks like a blewit to me. Been none around the hills so far but this rain might change that

    Ages ago I ordered some Machonda Brava - zornia from the SAB store.

    Amazing stuff really. Has a thick burning smoke but has some interesting effects - large amounts created a calm and fearless state somewhat similar to acetylcholinesterase inhibitors or GABA receptor activation. A feeling of welbeing was also noted somewhat serotonic or perhaps some other mechanism. Was great.
