times ov year

[nabraxas]

i've always known there were other psyiliocybe shrooms out there apart from gold tops, but when do they come up? g.tops seem to come up w/the first rains as the ground temp. warms up; around the queens b/day w/end. do these others fruit at the same time? if not, when? what conditions are we looking for?

[spiders]

Have you picked goldtops as in Ps.Cubensis?

[nabraxas]

for the sake ov argument over exact names- yes, i've picked them.

in the UK liberty caps come out at the end ov summer, in the autumn. are there species in aus that come out in autumn?- or do they all tend to come up in spring like 'gold tops'?

hey BM

i'm traveling from bris to perth and would like to do some picking on the way to try the shrooms in different states.

Got any good spots i can try in Vic

Shroom season in SW WA is may to august depending on rainfall.

Psilocybe hispanica if it were present should expand the fruiting period.

For cubies im not sure but warm and wet (not liley thius year) from vic to NT in cow paddocks around old cowpats in the long grass

any info South Oz and vic would be much appre. cheers : )

Ive been shown some pan cyans that were picked in Victoria, but im not sure of the exact location. Most of the mushrooms in the southern states are as reville suggested - autumn/winter fruiters

"Most of the mushrooms in the southern states are as reville suggested - autumn/winter fruiters"

sorry- being from the nth hemisphere(& quite stupid)i get seasons here confused.

so the queens b/day w/end IS in autumn.

when does psil. hispanica come up? any likely contenders for spring fruiting?
