mutant

Interesting, thanks for info as very soft fleshed mushrooms they are eaten by lots of things and they are maggot infested too easily, which is one of their disadvantages. According to most the best way to eat them is after drying them and storing for at least 6 months (better 12 months). Lots of awesome aromatic shit are released. Dried boletus age and they age to become the one of the best choice mushroom for hunters all over the world. baby and good mid-size specimen are awesome roasted too.

are B.edulis and the like introduced in oz? fuck what a strange world..

OP is just being impatient... I had mine flower+seed at 15 months and considered this something, given they are considered to flower after 18+ months wut an impressive plant, thinking of cutting back mine after this year.. its catches, [and perhaps serves as a nest for] several bugs and shit. PS: yep they know how to search for water these vines.. they seem like they need no watering now.. they have found the center of the earth cheers kada

Hey I was thinking about using coco coir some time... but this is a dud substrate... how long does the seedling can be okey there? when should one start fertilising? do you use mix of coco + other nutricious substrate? Boy, at first (baby seedlings) I was like, now how the fuck do these dudes graft these tinyfuckers? Note I haven't ever grafted at such a young age. Then I saw them pump and becoming round. So I am happy to say I have grafted 4 of them cordo X's on selinicereus... at one month exactly from sowing... now thats not bad!

zed, keep these comments coming... I look forward to talk about tricho taxonomy based on fruit this year

congrats you're the dude!

me personally use my smell a lot when picking agaricus: so I might pick agaricus for food, while not determining the exact Agaricus species, simply by the smell... this is a more advanced "technique" though... I see something in these pics that could be something other than agaricus though yep definately...

hey zed, cheers there should be a sticky supported by moderation to indicate some standards for people who ask mushroom ID

Usually??? hehe... there are tons of stuff helpfull in Boletales.. one of the coolest ID games in the mushroom world if you're not lazy Stipe (Stem) colours and shape are very crucial in Boletus sp

well FP not trying to be a dick but most identifications are not done well here.. the OP has to try and describe the mushroom as better as he can, like books do. I think those might not be all the same species for boletales, the colours, stem descriptions, stem base is very important same with agaricus sp, which these seem to be... stem base is an important ID key as are yellowings, which might indicate toxic species Agarius sp are not the easiest genus to ID to species.. its easy to do so in genus level though..

I usually dont pick edible Lactarius.. Dont like them.. But some say and they might be right its cool with tomato-onion sauce.. Its good pickled too...

I would be cool to see whats the rate of them some 1 year after harvest.. Remind me to send you some fresh ones too!

I usually recognize Stetsonia... but you could be right EG!

well I used to have a jar with whole dried panther caps.. have to check out their conditions though... they must have been there 3-4 years... I could also pick+dry fresh for ya next october...

the violet one is awesome... could be some Cortinarius or simply a bold coloured Lepista. Very nice colours

the photo is still not good enough... cant tell if its a browning, a true blue or an unusually clue cuzco or what probably a true blue though

It might pay to grow them in the equivalent of automn in the northern hemisphere, which is propably now for you... growing seedlings in heat seems like a not so good idea. The ones I had sownm in automn almost vanished with the warm weather. Deep pot is a must like I said... most seed from last year I have sold/given away.. I have only checked viability in september, did not count the percentage though... but of course there is fresh seed of 2015, but the seedpacks will be a bit smaller than last years, still cheaper than any mofo in the globe.

I also have that short spined form in my area and I have called it hildmannianus. I dont think the differences are that subtle. The one I am talking about is virtually spineless...

looks cuzco to my eyes too

seems interesting... seems peruvianoid, even though it could be something non tricho... the root might have escaped to the ground, otherwise it seems awfully root bound.. could it be a browningia?

seems you are again correct for elongata types, it can have pinkish flower.. what about this? its rather small to flower at this small age, flowers are also very tiny.. I have mammi hahniana/woodsii for many years, but its not it I think.. also the 1st plant of post #12 must be from the rectangular sector of mammis..

had to put up these veins again!

for all we know, the middle one, seems like a true lamellosus, while the left one seems like what could be a lamellosus hybrid, encorporating the stripe in the petals, but not loose the purplishness of the flower

pantherinas are very common here, but I read its not like this in other parts of europe and what not.. I think they're pretty common in oak and mixed woods of all southern europe...

^^^^^^^^^^ scarred for life but very pretty!
