fredf Posted June 30, 2010 Perth Urban Bushland Fungi would be your best bet, They do organised walks where they teach you how to identify and all that. Fantastic, thanks for the info! Looks good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tryp Posted July 1, 2010 Very true, my advice is download their pdf files, including thier *faiiiirly* extensive field guide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kindness Posted July 6, 2010 I hope you peeps over the west get lots of sub patches going so you don't have to face all the hassles that have been outlined in this thread just to go and take piccies of mushrooms! Maybe in the next few years this thread might start to be dominated by surprise patches appearing around the place - no need for locations but photos would be nice I'm sure you could all work out how to trade some sporific or myc-tastic love in your parts to the best possible effect? Woops, I tripped over and spilled this bag of wood chips that I had for my garden in a spot that gets watered by a sprinkler system year round... damn. Now I will have to go and get another bag of woodchips etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sidewayschef Posted July 7, 2010 hahaha, yes that would be my plan...is rather painful having to treck 3 hours south to forage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sacredbanana Posted July 12, 2010 Hello guys. I went to a pine forest/plantation down south in the Balingup area and same across these. Are any of these psilocybe subaeruginosa? They look like it! The last 2 images definitely aren't but if you guys know what it is then feel free to educate. It had a thin stem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
botanicalSEEKER Posted July 12, 2010 don't eat them I believe they are not subs. What makes me believe this? firstly the gills, secondly the stems. look at the identification guide for further information. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bℓσωηG Posted July 12, 2010 also try looking outside of the pine needle line, maybe towards the blackberry/bracken mulch line Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sacredbanana Posted July 12, 2010 I won't eat them. I should also note there is no blue staining at all. Orange stems aren't a good sign anyway. Anyone know what they could be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
statdot Posted July 17, 2010 (edited) I won't eat them. I should also note there is no blue staining at all. Orange stems aren't a good sign anyway. Anyone know what they could be? I don't know what they are but they're definitely not Sub A. That variety (photographed), apart from the visual differences mentioned above, is also quite fragile when compared to Sub A; both the cap and the stem break apart very easily whereas Sub A. is a lot more robust.

occidentalis Posted July 18, 2010 I can't be bothered downloading all your 1.5mb images (try resizing them next time before you post them) but from the thumbnails it looks like you have 2 or 3 different species. The first image looks like subs to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shroom-Aura Posted May 20, 2011 Hello guys. I went to a pine forest/plantation down south in the Balingup area and same across these. Are any of these psilocybe subaeruginosa? They look like it! The last 2 images definitely aren't but if you guys know what it is then feel free to educate. It had a thin stem. you're close but you're way off . also subs can have very thin stems, in fact in my neck of the woods they are mostly thin stemmed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sidewayschef Posted May 22, 2011 Had no luck in the perth hills this weekend and my patch of Gyms got burnt to the ground Oh well....B town it is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hyphal Posted May 22, 2011 what are slipperys like to eat?is there a lot of edibles down south,its not an area ive been interested in but free foods, well free food????? In my experience, I would never eat slippery's again. I tried them this year and followed all the ruls, used pritsine young specimens and peeled the caps and the pores off, and got stomach cramps and the shits for 24 hours. Shaggy manes are probably a good edible to target and the grow in lawns all over the southwest and also in and around the city. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tryp Posted June 3, 2011 I wouldn't eat the slippery jacks from down south. i mean they're reported to be tasty but really, don't take the chance. most will be heavily decayed within two days of rain and i wouldn't trust em. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
