These have come up 3 times in the last 1.5 months growing from the same log. They start so tiny, usually the snails don't let them past the pinning stage but I put them in a large container outside and boom, growth. The spore prints are the same but shot by holding in different angles of light and a bit wet too as they were freshly printed. Enjoy the pics.

Haha, thanks for reposting, it made me laugh.

Here's a pic from the Mushroom Observer entry: http://mushroomobserver.org/69325?q=515f

MOST Australian internet users will have their web access censored next month after the country's two largest internet providers agreed to voluntarily block more than 500 websites from view. Telstra and Optus confirmed they would block access to a list of child abuse websites provided by the Australian Communications and Media Authority and more compiled by unnamed international organisations from mid-year. But internet experts have warned that the scheme is merely a "feel-good policy" that will not stop criminals from accessing obscene material online and could block websites unfairly. The voluntary scheme was originally proposed by the Federal Government last year as part of a wider, $9.8 million scheme to encourage internet service providers to block all Refused Classification material from users as an optional service. The Government dropped its funding for the scheme last month due to "limited interest" from the industry, but a spokesman for Communications Minister Stephen Conroy said a basic voluntary filter was still on track to be introduced by Telstra, Optus and two small ISPs. "The ACMA will compile and manage a list of URLs of child abuse content that will include the appropriate subsection of the ACMA blacklist as well as child abuse URLs that are provided by reputable international organisations (to be blocked)," the spokesman said. System Administrators Guild of Australia board member Donna Ashelford said blocking these website addresses should not affect internet speed, but was only a "cosmetic fix" that was easily circumvented by criminals. "The effectiveness will be trivial because you're just blocking a single website address (and) a person can get around it by changing that address with one character," she said. "Child abuse material is more likely to be exchanged on peer-to-peer networks and private networks anyway and is a matter for law enforcement." Electronic Frontiers Association board member Colin Jacobs also expressed concern at the scheme, saying the Government and internet providers needed to be more upfront about websites being blocked and offer an appeals process for website owners who felt URLs had been blocked unfairly. "There is a question about where the links are coming from and I'd like to know the answer to that," Mr Jacobs said. "We've been waiting to hear details on this from the Government. It they turn out to be zealous with the type of material that is on the list then we'd want to have a discussion about ways to introduce more transparency." http://www.news.com.au/technology/internet-filter/telstra-optus-to-begin-censoring-web-next-month/story-fn5j66db-1226079954138

One year on and I only managed to find another single specimen. Was found in a patch of Pholiota communis. Caps looked virtually the same so singling it out was a bitch.

1. Could be T. versicolor but looks a little odd growing from straight from the ground like that as they're usually found on logs. Could be a buried stump though. Did it have a stalk/stem? Did the pore side mark easily? It could be something else if so.

I've seen a few ID requests on the shroomery where people thought they've struck gold with those mushrooms. I wonder how bright your puke would glow.. Some Cortinarius species are bluish/purplish in colour which often confuses people. A popular example is Cortinarius rotundisporus which is bluish in colour but does not bruise blue, there's a difference. Other blue brusing mushrooms to note are Phylloporus clelandii and some Boletes but they look nothing like subs.

Looks like Omphalotus nidiformis.

Oh I think it's actually a Psythyrella sp. and not Panaeolina.

They're just blue. There's a few recorded finds in AU & NZ and similar around the world. There's a comprehensive Australian Mycena book but it costs around $100! I'm pretty sure it would be describe in there. Edit: maybe Mycena subcaerulea or M. amicta.

Thanks! Yes they have gotten better because I have switched to shooting in RAW format. It allows for greater post-processing control, especially with colour/tone and shadow/highlight detail. I also use a tripod!

First ones look like Marasmius oreades. Did you find them in grass? Were the stems pliable? Spore print should be white.
