    Hard to say with your blurry photo, but they certainly seem to be subs.

    I can't believe you've found them so late in the season. I haven't seen subs or strophs for nearly a month now. Incredible.

    -K

     

    Sorry these were from July.Just couldnt get them onto the computer. Have you found them in Sydney before? Im almost certain theyre Sub's, Ive heard theyre round Sydney but have only ever found them in the mountains.

    Much appreciated.

    Personally I wouldn't be strict on the blue as an ID, can be helpful though. Many different species stain blue, most i'm aware of are just out of the field from a sub, like a big boletus or gym, but as amazonian stated galerina can have blueing, and other dangerous species like stropharia aurantiaca have had reported levels of psilocin/psilocybin from memory. Fungi are a very unknown field, huge portions have not been discovered and others not documented, so i wouldn't use a yes or no as a rule, actually yes i would, i'd use a yes re: other dangerous species! lol

    they do have a veil, just a cortinate veil, cobweb like which you can often see remnant of on both the cap and stem. On the stem you will often find this area is an area where spores will deposit. You should be spore printing every specimen, and grouping that with all it's characteristics, just standard species ID in any kingdom, use what is available and what it shows us.

     

    Yeah the cobweb veil(partial?) anyways. The spore prints where purpley brown. Thanks heaps!

    Hi there fungiphiles,

    Ive always gone to the same patch in the mountains to view Sub's. About a month ago I spotted some not far from the cbd of sydney. They all exhibited key visual characteristics such as no veil, blueing when picked and the trademark caramel cap.

    Q. Are there any known dangerous blueing species out there?

    'Thanks for taking the time'

    Im a little excited at the prospect of the psilocybe subaeruginosa season beginning shortly. From memory when the temps get down to round 7degrees C, and after good rains they begin to show up.

    Just wondering if anyone out there would like to share any pearls of wisdom on this topic...Happy Fungi Spotting Everyone

    the smoked seed heads of some of the cyperus's are thought to increase effects of things like hbwr and even cacti (where legal...good luck with that one :rolleyes: ) it has been supposed on these forums that possibly quite a few of the plants in cyperaceae family...your papyrus's and so on could be active in a maoi kinda way

    search engine is quite useful here :blush:

    Mt Tomah Gardens has Ephedra growing in a lot of spots...

    Thought I'd bump this, as once again this phenomenon has re appeared ...for the last 3 days I can close my eyes and see almost like running movies and be transferred to somewhere completely different...and the clarity is over whelming...yesterday I closed my eyes and was viewing a car traveling through a dirt road in some forest..strange thing was my view was from the body of the vehicle like a car cam...placement was somewhere near the drivers front right wheel and above the headlights...was amazing and very surreal...too many others to mention...but usually now when I close my eyes I don't get darkness or blackness or what ever I get full blown visuals of something or another... :o

    H.

    Ive had similar things in the past, sometimes visual references of places can be shot into your mind then later on whilst travelling you may find them.

    All those Myan and almec and aztec fellas would get into the Ayausca or mushy trips and become their totem or whatever to get views of the forest etc. Maybe your totem is a vehicle..? I should be slapped for that one...;)

    In the future theyll probably work this shit out and it wont be such a fringe subject, it could harnessed maybe..?

    What about the Blueing...? I bruised everyone to be sure...

    The thing is also, In my book and online pics dont look like what I saw but, they blue like cubes Ive picked years ago. Before I decided to hunt I checked around on the shroomery and Mycotopia and discovered the only other blueing fungi was a non-active Bolete or whatever theyre called, so If thats all they are Im fine. Ive chucked away ones that turned the least blue. Specimens from first hunt had fruited in excessively wet conditions and were close to being overcome by the weather, these ones took longer to blue. Second finds were noted as fresh, pigments in cap and whiteness of stem suggested this, also they blued savagely. On the second day I back tracked and saw ones Id ripped up and had chucked on the ground in disgust mistaking them for lookalikes,"theyd all turned blue" I just didnt wait long enough for them to change. It seems older specimens are less viral than youngers ones.

    I would guess also that there is an amount of diversity in morphology of these little guys and that maybe this accounts for the stoutness of some in the patch, or maybe they were busy fuiting when they were belted by to much rain which stunted theyre development. We can never be lax on this shit tho and if anyone ever has any doubts they should air them immediatly! You were right to mention it Hunab, please if you have further info that im un privy to please divulge at this point because Im ready to try em out :)

    Hey man I've been looking at pic number 1...there is something not right about those shrooms...they seem to be too low in ground...subs stand quite high...there is a look a like to a sub that is almost identical from above but when you go to pick it it is very low to ground and has a soft stem..it does also have a faint blue ring around the cap this look a like...I'm definitely a bit suss on those ones in the first pic the more I look because today I saw literally thousands of the same shroom up in the mountains and they definitely where not subs but they really do look like them from above... :huh:

    Sweet Baby Jeebus...nice find...look after that patch..ie pinch or cut those babies, and dont damage the myc

    Good advice, Ive been doing that for most of them.

    so so so jealous

    Medlow Bath, Lawson, Blue mountains Hospital...Katoomba. There out there dude, sometimes I walk past them without noticing them only to find them whilst back tracking. I found some recently around birch and Eucalypts, not to mention Lavender.

    Parks, schools, think Amenities they like heavily mulched beds. Theres more mulch around domestic areas than in the wild, they are more prolific around us.

    Wow!, nice find! Damn, I really want to get the pictures on my phone up somehow to see if what I had were subs....I was up in the mountains a month ago with what I could have sworn were subs, I don't think I waited long enough for them to go blue, so I left them. How long did it take yours to change colour?

    Depending on their age they blue at different rates. Young pins blue vigorously whilst older(caps out) took 15mins or so approx.

    Thanks for all the good advice, I have decided that this is too important to risk defending myself. A good lawyer who specialises in drugs is the way to go.

    They didn't even look at my computer. Also it was a detectives general search warrant that I let them in with. They said they had a tip off from crimestoppers, one of the cops said he could smell cannabis at the front door, therefore probable cause to produce search warrant. No point losing my herbs and paying to fix a kicked in door as well. I don't buy the crimestoppers story, but it is possible. I went to a hydro shop the same day, and I suspect the police had a lookout getting rego plates.

    heat cameras mounted on choppers scan for irregualr ducting on houses, also anyone lax enough to use a card for purchases at a hydro store is vunerable, and or they record peoples liceance plates when visiting such a place.

    That must feel sweet!

    Yeah don't sweat on em going mouldy they won't...just spread em out on paper and toss em about every day till they are crispy..it don't take long trust me ...don't be impatient...once they are dry place them in a zip lock bag with a desiccant sack and store them whole somewhere dark and dry....don't be tempted to chop em up or powder em either...leave them as whole fruits dried and you'll be good as gold...looking forward to hearing what you have to say about them ... :wink:

    H.

    Thanks again mate, yeah Im planning on testing them out soonish, perhaps the smaller size dose for me. Maybe 2grms..

    They look like subs to me.

    If you did happen to pick some while you where there - i.e. the picture with them sitting on paper.... did you try and peel back the cap from the edge... if the cap top comes off while you are peeling thats called a separable pellicle (correct me if I'm wrong here people) a separable pellicle is an indicator that you have found a psilocybe sub for macroscopic purposes... further, partial veil remnants on the stem are also a giveaway for subs, as is the blueing... nipple of cap etc etc etc.

    anyone else reading this - is it time for a pinned sub id thread or what?!

    I tried to remove the cap earlier for printing yet I had to use a scalpel as the cap would tear. They were a bit damp from the rain...
