DreamingNagual Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) Greetings mac, I hear that a hunt is scheduled in for around the end of the week.Maybe Some time can be spared to make a few prints I will make it known in this thread how it goes.Also, For a few of u that followed it last time, I am waiting for a certain man made outdoor "Patch" to start taking off again and Prints will most certainly then be made as last seasons prints got accidently destroyed.These things are FREAKS... See the pics!These were all some of the smaller average sized ones & most had not long lost their veils.Ps, I love the one shaped like a question mark in the last Pic Edited April 29, 2009 by DreamingNagual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alkatrope Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 They some chunky stems!Nice finds, though personally I think you probably coulda left some of 'em to mature a bit longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamingNagual Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) Hi alkatrope, I take it you are referring to the subs in the first lot of pics? I agree some of those were a bit smaller than what would usually be taken.Altho these were more or less the most mature specimens in the patch and were consumed by 3 subjects the same day they were picked.To clear any confusion, The second lot of pics are from last year!

Floydian Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hi Dreaming... nice find! There's some great looking subs there. I went out for a look this morning in the place on the NW Coast where I did quite well last year but nothing showing yet, not even any non-edibles. Can't be long now though judging by what you've found so far. I might go back next week for another look. Have you had a chance to get any habitat shots yet?Cheers!

They may have indeed been the most mature specimens in the patch, doesn't mean they're not still babies though. Personally I'd move on and look for some actual mature ones and leave the little'uns to grow a few more days and come back or let someone else get them.

SayN Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 nice picking.subs always look so dirty and grubby (i've never found them) compared to cubes. do they deteriorate more quickly than cubes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floydian Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Went down to the woods today ... was in for a big surprise! Lots of little pins, not quite ready yet (dammit!) but shouldn't long now. How long do pins usually take to open? I was going to give them a few more days and hope no else nabs them before I do ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamingNagual Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Hi Floydian, It depends on how far advanced the pins are I guess. Are they tiny pins that are just breaking the surface or are they just small ones that havent opened their veils as yet? And also probably depends if we get any rain within the next week!But give them about a week and see how they are then!Where are you hunting mate, Still on the NW coast?I was going to go out this arvo to a certain Reserve with walking tracks in the burnie area. I wish I had of cos I went dirt biking instead, Fell off & got a bruised arse cheek!Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydian Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Hi Dreaming ... Sorry, I should've been a bit more descriptive. I usually have my camera with me but forgot today. Quite a few of the pins were only just breaking through, but several others were about 20-25mm tall with a 10-12mm cap and unopened veils. The forecast doesn't look very promising for rain anytime soon but they're in quite a damp, shady spot. So I might look in a few days to see if the larger ones have opened more.Yeah, I'm on the NW coast still, but not in Burnie ... although I might be tempted to drive over for a look if I get too impatient waiting for the ones I found today Sorry, I know I shouldn't laugh about your little accident but I couldn't help it! Still, it could've been worse if you'd gone picking and then gone dirt biking Thanks for the info ... Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenerol Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) Here my finds from today's trek in to Mt Crawford Forest of SA: Now, this is the first time I have found any like these... I am assuming I have found some Amanita's.I am drying them now (I used scissors and did not just pull them out)... but if you don't think I should consume them, shout out!I'd really like to find some subs though... that is just wOw! DreamingNagual, I can't believe how many you got! Edited May 9, 2009 by Zenerol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenerol Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) Aaah, after reading a bit around the net, I have a feeling I should have left those yellow ones for a bit before taking them from mother nature. From what I can tell, they are Amanita muscari in their early stage, not yet popped out from the white/yellow stuff. I noticed when looking closer at the ones I got, I could see orange/red through cracks in the yellow/white. Cool. I think I'm learning. http://www.buy-the-cheapest-viagra-online....agaric002a.html Edited May 9, 2009 by Zenerol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hebrew Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) those yellow ones arent fly agaric, in my experience, whats with that dodgy link Edited May 9, 2009 by VelvetSiren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mescalito Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) The red ones look more like "The sickener" or Russula emetica.The yellow I would say "Panther cap" or Amanita pantherina.Both obviously not nice for ingestion!...tho Panther Caps have been reported as being used in the past,but ya gotta know ya stuff.Nice shots BTW <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_cool.png Edited May 9, 2009 by mescalito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mescalito Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Well I had "The Dream" last week and knew they were on the way,I had an idea they had just started and tho it's a 7hr round trip we went for an inspection.These fellers are in the same patch area as I've visited a few years ago and they look nothing like the original ones which were thick white stem and caramel tops.These look kinda azure??Sulphur TuftsSample of a wild oyster I'm going to clone.Some were taken with the phone and some with a cam,and it was getting dark,but there were other things to look at in that particular spot that you only see at night.I'm going back in the next 2 weeks after inspecting the area so should have some more shots (fingers crosssed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
