apothecary Posted April 23, 2007 Heard that someone today picked a sub in inner-city Sydney. Will confirm ID tonight. I checked all my patches after last nights rain and didn't find anything, no pins or anything. Plenty of mycelial swelling though. Never heard of east coast beating Melbourne to subs. Anyone make any finds yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ENtiTY Posted April 23, 2007 Awesome! Its finally here Come on clouds give it up! RAIN!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kenny Blister Posted April 23, 2007 Nothing at my suburban patch yet. Rain has been sparse though. BoM predicts showers extending over a few days later in the week, which may be promising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ace Posted April 23, 2007 We havent had rain for months now - most gardens are drying up too much to host anything of interest I'd be guessing, but hopefully the rain will break and the lil fellas will be everywhere Looking forward to my first hunt this season!

obtuse Posted April 23, 2007 (edited) Its been really dry here in Tas, I have been walking regularly, and there are not many mushrooms at all let alone any subs. I have found a couple of patches of mycelial growth in damp spots but in general no go. It may be a different story in higher altitudes. I still have dead patches in my lawn, which is really unusual for tassie at this time of year. The regular rains have really only just stared, so things may pick up soon, but we need some good downpours to really get things wet. The cold is there tho so it shouldn't be long. cheers, Obtuse (edit: bad spelling) Edited April 23, 2007 by obtuse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alkatrope Posted April 23, 2007 Still way to dry down here.. Hopefully in a month or two though.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apothecary Posted April 23, 2007 Well it has been raining here heaps and we have had lots of cool fungi of all shapes and sizes for about a month, but I haven't even seen any of the usual indicator species yet such as Hypholoma or other Strophs so I was a bit surprised to hear this claim. Still waiting on photos. A massive rash of Geastrum species surfaced today all over the place, and all sorts of cool looking stuff (photos tomorrow), which means we are getting close but yeah.

immanuel Posted April 23, 2007 Well where I am at, it's been pouring all night and all day. In the past month i've been seing loads of mushrooms/fungi growing out of the ground on pathways and stuff, no idea what sorts though. I'll have to learn how to identify common psychoactive's in my area and keep my eye out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apothecary Posted April 23, 2007 (edited) Wow. I gotta admit, the ones in the second photo do really look like sydney subs. The staining is pretty prolific. So, what say ye? These are honestly not my finds, although I am green with envy. Edited June 24, 2007 by apothecary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
husk Posted April 23, 2007 So, what say ye? i say... where?? really, is it a familiar spot or a chance find? well done apo's mate! x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apothecary Posted April 23, 2007 It is one of the usual patches for this particular mycophile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptAmazing Posted April 23, 2007 I picked them. I don't want to give too much away about the patch but it gave a good harvest last year... all I will say is that it was from the eastern suburbs on the south side of a building. Infact they were from 2 seperate patches. I'll keep taking pics as they come up. I'm sure they're subs cause they were what I was eating last year and I didn't die plus all the indicator species were cruising around them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Μορφέας Posted April 23, 2007 (edited) all melbourne people who are going out for some walks soon can i come out with you? I need someone to learn from!! there some nice pics apoth Edited April 23, 2007 by Narcissism Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littlefin Posted April 23, 2007 (edited) Amazing.. I figured it's still been too warm of late for any decent patches to come up, but after all the rain we've had, its starting to sound pretty promising. I work near quite a few known patches, might go for a lunchtime stroll tomorrow and see if there's any action! Edited April 23, 2007 by littlefin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MORG Posted April 23, 2007 Definitely subs The season begins. Is there a more exciting feeling than discovering a rich, wet patch of ripe, chubby subs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apothecary Posted April 24, 2007 Well well well. After last nights downpour I went for an extensive romp today. My local grounds have turned into a fungal funderland overnight. Including one patch of subs! Last year this patch was second to fruit, about June or so. Pics of a whole bunch of different fungi tonight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
