  1. always nice to see fungi popping up. can you take a pic of the mushroom? it could well be, though chances are it probably isnt, libs are a true rare find here, often confused with other species.

    nevertheless do take a sporeprint :)

    is it an old grazing ground there?

    Qr


  2. Desert Vic?? Lol

    I would just wait a few more months if i were you when subs are in season, then go a bit central for a look.

    ive seen them pretty far north in vic, not TOO far from the border, in forest.

    Good luck

    1. Cortinarius archeri.

    2. Cortinatius rotundisporus.

    3. Cortinarius sp.


  4. Avoid alcohol when eating these. Something in them inhibits the breakdown of a nasty ethanol metabolite, apparently resulting in a killer hangover.

    Comatus are ok, as they don't contain Coprine which is the chemical that will make you ill.

    On the other hand, the Common Ink Cap (Coprinus atramentarous) is not strictly poisonous, it will however make you feel very ill if you eat it within 12-24 hours of consuming alcohol. These contain Coprine, a chemical that reacts with alcohol (ethanol) to produce a poison which disrupts the body's neurological functions. It can also produce servere allergic reactions. It can be very unpleasant.


  5. So has anyone ever eaten these? Worthwhile or not?

    Coprinus comatus should only be used when it is young and fresh, before the gills darken.


  6. If youre caught with a bag of active shrooms, if the cops dont let you off youll be given a court summons in which you will most likely be given a fine and comm service.

    Being prepared helps. If i hunt i like to wear darker clothes and always carry a black sack/bag so it can be easily hidden.

    But as ill always say if youre picking and you think the cops are going to interfere, just tip your shrooms out and walk away...
