Has anyone got Pestalotiopsis microspora Or know of anyone ? $50 in it or beer equivalent for the first to find ...
I am on the central coast NSW .

Hi All,
Found a large number of these (80 plus) of them.
Has anyone got any thoughts on drying them to prevent mould getting on them, for use in soups in winter? They were found around pines but in 'unusual' location on central coast nsw.
They are Slippery Jacks right?
Anyone found any CEPs lately they are willing to do a print trade on for Stropharia Wine Caps?

Hi all.
Found this in swampy ground near Salt Ash and dollar weed clumps
Any thoughts?

This was weird driving along and thought it was horse dung but looked to firm, couldnt resist stopping to investigate.
Even weirder was the smooth skin , growing through roadbase linked in with a tree root visible in 1 pic . Maybe about 8 of these things growing.
Cut one open and it looks like a truffle as big as a fist.
Anyone got any ideas?

1 think you are right on blewit the spore print was pale pink almost light orange- it took so long it had me worried it was white.
3 Wish I knew which one Amarillia or Gym
4 Yes you are right , it did not want to print though see in pic

Yours looks like Wood blewitt to me, did you eat it yet . If you dont reply I will know not to ....

I know what you mean - the purple colour is awesome and not done justice in the photos especially the mycelium...
I found these on saturday and since you have posted I wonder if that is what they are as well, but there is little chance of intentional introduction where I found them eg no pines around where they could have hitchiked from a nursery somewhere.
Thoughts on my specimen?
Anyone had any luck cultivating?

For the numbers I saved them you can see them when you mouse rollover Eg 1 top side 1 underside, thankyou for your input I knew what you meant by counting in order which may have been the more logical way to do it.
Attempt to remedy by writing on paper to avoid confusion on this next one
I think that 7 is a saffron but not sure about the other two.

number 2 topside here

1 thought it was the Prince due to purple mycelium at base
2 no idea growing in grass
3 growing under pine tree wyong (not related to 4 by about 200kms)
4 growing under pine tree mt wilson saffron but others near it had green tinge under cap
5 those waiting on SRA culture will send batch if you want and have not already PM me sorry for delay.

Kidding too ...
I can see the newspaper article - mushslaughter due to heart attack.

You guys are really funny luckily you posted that within the same minute or it might have set a precedent when I take you both to the supreme court.

Hi All,
Found these with some Fly Agaric nearby underneath some old established Pine trees.
What do you think?
The mycelium breaths a sigh of relief good rain and noone to pick the fruit yet.... heading up to Mt Wilson soon.

Anyone interested in doing a paid foraging trip? You find and send photos to prove- send mushrooms and mycelium, you get paid per mushroom and for postage.
Boletes or Morels or Pom Pom or Chicken of the Woods, anything tasty or unusual ... I know some of these are not know for living in oz, but they are popping up in different corners keen to bring it all into one myco 'file'.

Start with a really easy one, like Wine Cap Stropharia , these were planted three months ago , this one was 609 grams dinner plate material.
They love wood chip and outcompete other green moulds etc so are easy.
They are agressive I have heaps of mycelium and would like to swap with oysters or morel spawn - if anyones keen. I have plenty of mushrooms as well PM if keen.

When the hunter found some new mushrooms... and then asked under the heading 'mushroom hunt'.
Still waiting for takers to go on a hunt after all that rain too.

Anyone ID this one ?

Can anyone ID these please?

Had the rain, anyone up for edible hunt near the central coast? PM me.
I have found some large Wine Caps lately.

Is button mushroom mycelium faster than exotic, which would win a race to colonise?
If one was colonised who would take over?

All I have is the top line in text, the attachment editor does not make it plain to me how to add numbers to images.
On mouse rollover of images it does show the numbers.( unless someone can advise a better way)

Any ID help appreciated, the first ones are the ones I am most interested in found all but one found 8/5/11.
