    Hi Everyone

    Looking for some crested Trich varieties
    Seeds, plants or grafts

    I have to swap with over 50 varieties of chilli seeds, a mountain of T.Pach(including rooted lengths with varies numbers of pups), some seed grown T.Terskii (3yo) and brugmansia cuttings(not yet rooted, will post/deliver when rooted)

    So i found these in the front garden were I put down alot of mushroom compost.(perth hills)

    Not 100% convinced the are A. Muscaria though as they are really small and the colouring has changed to yellow(after heavy rain though)

    Will be keenly keeping an eye on these though in the coming weeks

    Waking up this morning with our house surround by a thick fog @ 8am i thought it would be a good day for a hunt.

    I wasn't disappointed when these 2 little purps..

    I did make an observation in the range of colouring apparent in gyms.

    All of these mushrooms were pulled out of a large pile of paperbarks that had been cleared.

    only ones found on the perimeter of the patch in full/part sun had the distinctive purple colour.

    All of the ones pulled from under logs with little to no chance of seeing the sun are a more rusty brown colour.

    so far the majority appear to be staining up.

    a small pin on this one is a very distinctive blue

    Bump

    Was down there today but only found lots of look alikes.

    :(

    Am devastated my regular patch was unfruitful. guess it is time to explore again

    Plenty of mushroom growth happening but picker beware.....Pine Haulers are doing heaps of logging along the Balingup-Nannup road. Keep your eyes open on those slippery windy roads

    nice, I have heaps of suitable banksia to Chip up.

    Lost a picture I had of last years failed crop. Somehow the container and the mycelium survived the summer and will hopefully bear some fruit soon.

    Only seen a few Gyms in Balingup......unfortunately no subs to be found in my trusty patch yet though :(

    Still seems to be a tad dry in the hills(that was before the weekends downpour though)

    Hey Guys & Gals

    Wanting to get ahold of some khat plants or seeds. I know a dozen differant places to get cuttings from but would rather get something established with roots

    Prefer to get something local in WA(Perth) if possible

    Willing to trade various cactus or part with $$$

    Cheers in advance

    Interesting to see in some of the pictures a white veil over the mushroom.

    I havent seen that before.....

    is interesting to see how this species will occupy a log, similair to Shitake.

    I took all the stem butt's and spread them in an area of hardwood(Jarrah, Eucalptys) chips

    Will be interesting to see how hardy and well this variety spreads

    so went to visit a friend in Bunbury on the weekend. Spotted this bunch in the front yard not far from the stump of a paperbark...

    Whole front garden was covered in hardwood chips and so far Mycelium had spread about a meter from the base of the stump.

    Some of the larger ones weight up over 100g

    think ill be visiting my friend again soon....

    All stain up a mild green color

    Have not bioassayed yet as the southwest provided something far stronger, but will get back with a report soon

    well there was a huge pile of wet paperbarks all pushed up in a pile.

    Plenty of gyms growing off them last year

    So to burn the wet logs they have set tyres on fire to get the fire raging, is like using petrol, but they last longer and are worse for the environment
