I often see 1:11 or 3:33, and the synchronicity of that combination makes that moment feel a little bit more special than others. Maybe we our internal clock is far more precise than we suspect?

Sally any more rallies in new astle coming up?

How about vapourising tobacco in a herb vapouriser like an iolite or volcano? When I have tried this in the past it has tasted like shit though. Maybe there is a way to prepare it that is better? The curing process for smoking might not be suited to vaping.

Not sure if ill be able to make Oberon bulb camp this year, still need a lift from newcastle. If anyone else from newy going?

I reckon the abundance will soon peter out if you are starting to feel this cold. Although there can be the isolated fruitings right through the winter in particular spots, such as where cows graze amongst gum trees with streams and clumps of grass. It would be interesting to monitor numbers in different months of the year for a variety of locations and see how it changes over the years. I did this a few years back and found at least one specimen in all the months of the year, around 2008/2009.

Including specific locations of entheogenic plants might not be the best idea. How about a listing and discussion (eg traditional, medical and culinary usage) of a broad selection of plants that grow in the area?

I'd love to come but need a lift... Anyone passing through Newcastle on their way? I can pay for fuel and play with the radio

Natures dehydrator
a few years back around this time of year I found a cluster of maybe 8 good sized ones growing out of the same cake, cracker dry from the intense heat that came after the rains.
The spots I've had success are the south and east sides of tree lined creeks, where there is shelter from the afternoon sun. They also tend to be on the lower ground where water collects to grow the grass emerald green and where the overnight dew is heaviest. Nthng like the sensation of the dewy grass on your feet in the morning
This time of year is also good as the brown snakes are less active...

Randomly decided to walk through a paddock today right near where I grew up. Found these two beautiful specimens:
Just like you said rc, the mushrooms really do seem to call out to you after you get a taste. Or maybe you just develop an intiuition as to where they like to grow. Blows my mind to think these mushrooms were probably growing every summer just down the road when I was a kid. I always loved exploring the bush around these paddocks...

I think I know the mckenna talk your referring to. he says something like that the milk, urine, meat and mushrooms would all have been products associated with the cow, making it holy/sacred by association. that much of the hindu pantheon is depicted with blue skin is suggestive, as is the association of the cow with vishnu and krishna and the strikingly psilocybin-esque hindu art. modern india is also awash with cubensis in the summer, from elephant, buffalo and cattle dung. it would be really interesting to know what the distribution of psilocybe cubensis has been throughout history. no doubt human colonisation of the world and the transport of cattle with us has contributed greatly to the current extremely wide distribution.

Nice mate. Yeah pretty sure I found the only cubes in the spots I know around here - another 2 today. Lots of fungal activity in general (boletes, inactive pans, those white tall ones with dark gills that grow out of the pies) but little in the way of gold tops. Still was lots of fun to have a hunt around on this glorious Easter Sunday.
Paneolous sp. ?
Boletus sp. ?

Where approx are u still finding them? Seems way too hot and dry now, around bris anyway...

Identified a handful of immature cubensis specimens near Brisbane yesterday. Only in the greeNest most sheltered patches of grass were there any to be found. Hopefully it rains again soon, although the forecast says not.
Happy Easter hunting

In his latest book, Dennis McKenna mentions meeting Wade Davis while seeking ayahausca in the amazon. his description is of a swash buckling explorer, in contrast to the travelling freaks they considered themselves to be. I'll have to check out One River.

Interesting article. The discussion section is quite accessible for those without interest in the details of the experiment itself. Very good bibliography with some papers worth looking at (apparently tryptamine metabolises have been found in the pineal gland?). That a melanoma cell line was the preferred choice for the study is curious, given that it is not usually associated with a healthy functioning organism. I wonder if other cells would behave similarly?

I'm definitely keen for some camping and foraging in the forest! My first autumn in oz in a few years, I'd love to see subs in their 'naturalised' habitat... And meet fellow sab'ers of course

How should humanity steer the future? My first reaction was to think that our attempts to steer affairs here on earth is the problem in the first place. But as others here have rightly pointed out, we have got ourselves into a predicament (destruction of the biosphere, overpopulation, climate change, proliferation of weapons and people willing to use them etc) from which there may be no return without drastic intervention. Then I thought what we need is education - if people fully comprehended our predicament, and knew what it will take on a day to day practical basis to re stabilise the planet, then maybe we would have a chance. Maybe an educated population would turn their backs on consumerism and the commercial media that drives it. Politicians, in a healthy democracy at least, are a reflection of the zeitgeist. If there is overwhelming consensus amongst a population then the leadership will follow suit sooner of later, or be replaced.
But you can't teach someone empathy for the planet. That is something we must all find on our own accord. For me the way I found it was through the inherent beauty of nature; in wilderness, and exemplefied in entheogens. So as I see it, the way to steer humanity out of this cul der sac is by holding the beauty and elegance of nature and her processes as a central tenant and attempting to mirror this in our own lives and societies.
