The Dude Posted March 10, 2004 Yeh a.. ermm.. a Friend of mine wants to go pick some mushrooms (Psilocybe subaeruginosa probably, or if there's other prominent species in the area, that'll be the go). SO he wants to know if it's mushroom season yet, or will it be soon-ish - in South Australia that is, and wheres a good spot if anyone knows, Kuitpo maybe? (I got NFI??) ..Anyway if someone can help just reply here or pm me. Thx in advance. PS - Yeh i'm a n00b but i hope i dont cop any shit here cuz of that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adrian Posted March 10, 2004 I'm not sure what the earliest limits of the S.A fruits are, but round here people generally don't start looking for subs until later in April. A few days ago I found a some Gymnopilus. P.S check up info on Panaeolus cyanescens (syn. Copelandia cyanescens) occurance in S.A [ 09.

spiders Posted March 11, 2004 Depends entirely on the rains and cold snaps. In 2001 they started fruiting over there in the hills in mid-march if i remember correctly - and that year they fruited in melbourne until mid-september. If you find any fruiting off kangeroo shit, let me know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerbil Posted March 11, 2004 we are starting to get some good temperatures though, slowly but surely, it got down to single figures last night i think. Rain is looking good for the coming months, but i suppose it can go either way quite easily. Can't wait for those cold winter walks, should be lots of fun.

mescalito Posted March 11, 2004 Subs fruited around march/april last year in the Southern Highlands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dude Posted March 12, 2004 Hey cheers for the responses guys. So the Hills would be a good place to go looking then? I hope we get an extra wet winter pretty soon. So the two species in South Oz i know of so far: Psilocybe subaeruginosa Panaeolus cyanescens anything else? BlueMeanie, about the shit, i'll let u know [ 11.

smogs Posted March 12, 2004 also anyone know a good spot in sydney somewhere? never been and would really like to go for a mushroom hunt (any types... they all interest me) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shroom-Aura Posted March 12, 2004 Mount Lofty is a good place to look since it is where Cleland discovered P. subaeruginosa. And yeah most places in the Adelaide Hills contain subs. SA also has G. purpuratus and G. spectabilis and A. muscaria though most people aren't interested in them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest electro Posted March 12, 2004 i havent been either, but i know there are some in katoomba, possibly some in balckheath, and prolly some in oberon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Plantsoma Posted March 16, 2004 Any pile of woodchip/woodchip garden is a good way to find subs. The Blue Mountains has favourable conditions for fruiting most of the time, sometimes hard to find up here, but theyre here (thru the cooler months anyway) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest electro Posted March 19, 2004 the adelaide hills are full of subs (at least i assume they are subs) ... i have friends from there that used to go mushrooming instead of school ... almost daily during colder months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
