  1. "These findings suggest that the emergence of terrestrial life is not the result of an accident but a direct consequence of the conditions on the primordial Earth and its surroundings,"

    What exactly is the 'accident' the researchers are referring to? I think what they meant to say is that life is a 'natural' consequence of the Earth, and that it doesn't need a divine creator to be explained.

    Are biologists really still stuck in the creation vs evolution duality?

  2. These mushrooms are popping up here in NSW at the moment.

    Pretty sure they are a panaeolus of some variety, possibly Panaeolus papilionaceus? It isn't obvious in the photo but there are veil remnants on the cap margin. They seem to like similar habitat as cubensis and meanies (i.e. cow dung in hot and humid grass lands), but fruit more readily and are more resilient to wind - they can be found in quite exposed areas such as hill tops with short grass. Back in QLD I often noted that in the paddocks this species grew, the actives did not.

  3. I bought an early bird ticket for $125 to Entheogenesis Australis in Melbourne (December 6), however unfortunately due to work commitments I will not be able to attend. I am offering the ticket for sale. Not looking to make any money off this so the asking price is $125 plus the $12 in fee's I was charged upon purchase, so $137.

    Tickets will be $240 on the door so this is a great deal!

    First in gets in the ticket!

    Yes cubensis can be found in the Hervey Bay / Maryborough area. The above pair were found just before Easter this year.

    As far as I could tell, conditions are not favourable for cubensis in that area due to the lack of a hinterland inducing rainfall; ie it is often too dry and windy. Also the cubensis season in se qld is always shifting around based on when the rain falls. You may have to wait a few months, but you should find some evebtually. Look for paddocks with tree lines with lush free grass that provides some shelter.

  5. Good article. Not terribly deep, but aside from saying a native graess is a source of LSD it seems factually accurate. It sheds light on a subculture that many people probably don't know much about or have misconceptions. That he is a family man who hardly trips any more is helpful. The shelves of whipits comes across a bit dodge tho. I don't see the problem with this being circulated in social media etc. it may open the minds of some readers, and there is nothing in there that the authorities don't know.

  6. Absolute magic spot. I've climbed out to the tip of it two years in a row and plan to make it a yearly pilgrimage for myself from now on. Powerful vibes as you climb out along the neck of the Pinnacle and the view is amazing during the whole walk.

     

    Yeah it's incredible out there... Especially to consider the aeons of time that volcanic rim has been witness to. This shot was taken from the very tip the same day. A hawk, a bee and a butterfly (can you spot it?) kept me company :)

    Edit: Have rotated the photo, but how why is it smaller than everyone elses images?
