Hahaha.

I wish :)

Nah just did a 2 second search on google and snaged it off some site. Can't even remember the name of it.

Used to be able to draw pretty well. Not any more, flat out even remembering which end makes the pretty lines on the paper now. :)

i believe so. or rather i have read so.

aren't they covered in chitin, which is the hardest known organic substance. is it not?

suposedly able to remain dormant potentially for thousands or millions of years in the vacuum of space, very impervious to radiation etc

?

i found a handful of tiny subs on an exploratory stroll around a suburban uni on monday, didnt have a camera to take any pics unfortunately. most of the places i found them last year are still far too dry, its just this one patch that is off to an early start.

Still quite dry in the bush here also, although there are some decent signs of fungi activity...

id say its still a bit early for subs in most of melbourne but earlier this week there were definately some subs around inner(ish) and and outer eastern suburbs. there was a dramatic increase in the number of different species around after the weekends rain so fingers crossed we get some more soon

Yeah mate they are definitely all subs. The first pic was taken only a few minutes after picking them so they hadn't had a chance to bruise up yet. The ones in the second pic were starting to dry out a bit which made some quite odd looking and harder to distinguish the bluing. Thanks for your concern though but I do know what I am doing.

There's probably alot about them that's interesting. :)

If you're wondering if they contain psilocybin, then probably not. They don't look like any previosuly documented Australian psychoactive fungus.

Went to Sherbrooke over the weekend for a dark, wet bushwalk. Took some pics of the fungal variety to mark the occasion:
