That would be my guess! Dig around the base of the mushrooms and see if they're growing from buried wood.

Nice photos...

Mmmm, interesting. a mate of mine just now at 5g of these suckers. after tellin me that i told him to start throwing up. Anyone know the toxicity of these little suckers?

EDIT: Did some googling :rolleyes: they'll make you pretty crook but not lethal. Consuming alcohol with them is a big no-no (make you crooker). Can lead to lesions on your balls also :o

They're quite edible mu, don't worry about that, some people actually like to eat them. They're only mildly poisonous if you drink alcohol -within about a week- before or after eating them.... don't quote me on that timeframe exactly, but its something like that. Don't let your buddy drink alcohol for a few days at least.
