  1. can anyone id this please? much appreciated.
    the base of the stem is pretty red. white stem, grey / black gills, red cap.
    these are growing at the base of a moreton bay fig, in the leaf mulch.
    they come out of the ground, not from woodmulch, they're in soil.

    dark brown spore print / chocolate.
    thanks again :)

  2. stumbled over these on my way into the forest.
    looks like a psilocybe to me but that's why I'm here.

    the spore print seems to be rust brown :/
    so, is this a galerina or some kinda look alike,
    or is it a non bluing magic one in disguise?

    i read they dont blue if they have psilocybin but not psilocin.
    any help here would be freaking awesome.

    ps: sorry about the low camera resolution.
    thanks heaps again :D

  3. like hawk says, they have some of the best qualities of acid ... lol.
    we found that out after the vomiting (which wasn't nice at all)
    I thought they were decarboxylated enough ... aparently not.
    dried caps with gills to a powder, then made a tea.
    I would approach this again, but the nausea was a doozy.
    nowhere near as bad as HWBR tho.
    after the nausea, it was like a light lsd trip - pretty nice, happy + giggly.

    thanks again Thunder Horse ⍾ Ninja :)
    it's nice to have a positive report to contribute back!

    ps: does anyone have the hawk and venus soma shaman dvd? i cant find it ANYWHERE
    thanks!!!

  4. ∂an, thankyou for that podcast, he's a local guy near me too, will seek him out and pick his brain ;)

    Tangich, next time I see one of these I will take a spore print.

    thanks heaps again,
    very much appreciated.


  5. this amanita (formosa?) was found growing from a chainsawed australian rainforest native
    (so sorry i do not knnow the name of it) in the Byron Bay / Ballina region of Northern Rivers NSW.

    point is ... cane toads were living under this chunk of colonized log.
    do they have a symbiotic effect on ... well ... this :)

    I ask this as I have found pans growing from the bamboo burrows where the toads situate themselves.
    maybe I'm overthinking it LOL.

  6. one of these slowly drying caps, the white spots are turning green.

    ...looks like the kind of mold that grows on an orange peel.

    the intent here is to thoroughly dry them all, but the greening white spots could be a concern.
    wanted to sun-dry, but might have to oven dry.
    hence the inquiry ... what is best.
    oven dried or sundried... curing vs force drying.

    should the entire mushroom be dried or just the red tops?

    thankyou all very much :)

    the large cap in the white bowl is the now drying cap with the *greening white spots*,
    and the text book santa one is the 3rd image one day later.

    Slainte ^_^

  7. growing in bamboo chip mulch.

    have no idea where there spores came from ... maybe from the arborist's wood chipper.
    but the gift of the blue meanies has been nice :)

    please, what are these brown ones that look just like the pans?
    thankyou all very much.

    ***
    this mulch pile is first eucalyptus chip with then had bamboo chip poured on top.
    pile is about 5 months old now, fruiting blue meanies for about a month now.
    these brown ones are new.
    ***

    it has been raining, but I have also been watering wherever I find fruiting sections with an endo & ecto mychorrizah, humic acid and bacteria as a pre-bought mix from biostim.com.au.
    in a bucket with an airstone and some of the black myro rich mulch.
    thought it would help to know the wheres and hows of the bamboo thing.
    you guys had said these were dung loving caps. thanks again hey!

  8. the toads just seem to make a place to sit in the wet mulch/chip/leaf mold.

    I find tunnels dug into the top of the pile, inside which is always a cane toad looking back at me.

    is the bufo toad with it's 5meodmt glands causing the mushrooms??
    I also found cane toads under a fallen tree trunk out of which where were brown fly argic looking mushrooms.
    just trying to join the dots.
    Cheers! ;)


  9. these have grey/black gills ... not sure on the spore print, sorry ...

    they're all about the size or smaller than an aussie 5c coin.
    growing from a tree stump underground and this flush happens every time it rains.

    thanks heaps in advance.
