    Can I add to this that I think it would be a great idea also if once you have sent your spores or seeds to the person who has claimed them..to go back and edit your post to say ...ITEMS SENT. I know I get confused sometimes about weather I have sent stuff out or not particularly when trading regularly. I think this would help the thread a lot with reminders and knowing what has been sent and what date etc...

    Years ago this campus was renknowned for subs in particular pine bark areas and up the back in the wildlife area. Some of these patches were taken care of by local students to improve their yields. years later others just come along and capitalise on it all.

    True! Unbelievable, but true :shroomer:

    Im nor sure whether Ps.cyanescens grows on pinus radiata mulch or needles either.

    they usually grow in coniferous mulch

    Anyway, I wouldn't have thought they could have been growing in Melbourne gardens like they do now for that long

    Its mostly from all the mulch, looged from trees outa melb id say that are smothered in spore.

    They're said to utilise Nothofagus species, i'd hazard a guess they'd go alright on all our other pines and similar trees as well.

    Ive definately heard this too, quite alot though have never seen so myself.

    Amanita muscaria will only grow in conjunction with various species of birch, fir, pine, spruce, and other similar trees. In Australia it has formed a new association with southern beech (genus Nothofagus).

    The association with these various trees is a symbiotic one. Amanita muscaria enhances mineral uptake for the tree and in return it gets carbohydrates from the root of the tree. This relationship means that if the host trees are not available, Amanita muscaria will not grow there.

    I think its a fairly new discovery of the the muscaria which are mainly associated with exotic pine, to be naturalising in native beech forests, here n there.

    Ill have to do a bit of looking round for myself this year.

    My question is, what kind of effect do you think this will have on the eco-system?...

    On another note about southern beeches, apparently there are more than 250 ectomycorrhizal fungal species described in association with nothofagus in NZ! :)

    Hey all, was cleaning the garage the other day came across a fair few Loph & Tricho seeds which i think have been there for about 2 years give or take...

    Cant remember putting them there... Anyway, just before i do a test run, i was wondering what the average shelf life is for these?

    Cheers!
