everywhen Posted July 1, 2004 I went up about a month ago at what would have been the start of the season, and saw an absolute abundance of all sorts of mushrooms, including a ton of very impressive Amanitas up near the Mt Lofty Summit. I went back the other day down a bit further near Crafers, and there seemed to be hardly any of any mushroom species. So could it just be a bad area I looked at, or is the mushroom season in the Adelaide hills pretty short? I might go up to the summit again tomorrow and have another look. Just was wondering if the mushrooms only come out once a year and spread spores to lay dormant for the next year. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterdragon Posted July 2, 2004 the fly usually have a short cycle then gone for the year. other types can come and go in flushes depending on how cold it gets there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shroom-Aura Posted July 2, 2004 i think he was referring to the "magic mushroom" season. They are still around at the moment but we are finding less each hunt so i dont think it will be season for much longer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t st tantra Posted July 2, 2004 seems variable but yes generally the first flush was large and there have been scatterings mainly since then.but at least a dose can usually be located.plains and foothills report. t s t . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strangebrew Posted July 2, 2004 Don't fear, Winter's still here. Autumn is generally the best time for other species but our favourite friends keep going until the end of August generally in SA. A lot of areas often become waterlogged before that date though. The first week of October has been the latest I've ever seen any. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
