Plan

  • Jan 03 2021 - Inoculated...

Shitty Myc Petri -> Tiny Shoebox

  • cut off some coir, size of coir roughly doubles
  • Weigh, add water ratio of 200g coir to 920ml water
  • Put in glass tub
  • Microwave 10min? Apparently Will reduce water too much? Could just add more boiling water later...)
  • Maybe fridge/freeze it...
  • Take out about half for a casing layer... Check it's not to wet. you want is to be able to squeeze the fuck out of it w/o almost any water running out of it.
  • Maybe add some charcoal?
  • Chop up or blend the mycilium? Would need to sanitize the blender but could get more spread... Blended could loose stuff up the sides of the blender. A few bigger chunks in the bottom would be easier to see grow
  • Add casing layer
  • Top spray for Propper surface conditions

Misc

Bad mushrooms: stropharia, Hypholoma fasciculare, psathyrella, Galerina, these and more

Gourmet Mushrooms

Subaeruginosa Locations

General

  • They're around. Mulched garden beds on the south side of buildings
  • "Look for parks.

after you select a few to search, make sure they have gumtrees after that, check for woodchips If you have those, then you should have a good chance.

I hunt for shrooms looking for the gumtree/woodchip combination, my success rate is 1 every 4 combination finds."

P.S. whoever said that they only find shrooms in thin bits of mulch i agree, i've only seen them out of fairly thick beds a couple of times, most of the time its a light sprinkling of chips.

  • You want the big greyish/brown woodchips.
  • my biggest patches are adjacent to creeks.
  • its dry in near the city mate. wait for more heavy dews.
  • usually facing East where they get morning sun but not afternoon sun.

Melbourne City

  • Blackburn station, nature strip adjacent to the tracks.
  • Deakin uni near the pedestrian path
  • Monash University.
  • Rocket Park in Hawthorn used to have them but a lot of people knew about that.
  • Red hill and surrounding areas
  • Mulched garden beds on the south side of buildings (these are protected from extreme drying in warmer months).
  • La Trobe university
  • near the museum
  • a spot a good mate told me about today and low and behold it is near the yarra
  • very time i see a landscaped garden with pine bark i would see them last year - service-stations, railway stations
  • Flagstaff gardens (2004)
  • Carlton Gardens (2008)
  • Just outside the Zoo. Near the tram stop. (6 years ago)
  • Diamond Creek and beyond
  • park near Darling station, east Malvern
  • 6 years ago - https://www.reddit.com/r/melbourne/comments/1ekci8/shrooming_spots_outside_of_the_city/
  • I also hear even just at Deakin Uni, I'm not sure which campus, they grow everywhere near some creek? I've never been there but you know, rumor has it. Burwood student here confirming. It's a long creek and there are loads of places along there where they grow. Remember: it's a uni tho so most of them will go pretty quickly methinks
  • Rowville - schools and parks... so so so much here.
  • Hampton Park - Cairns rd park
  • Dandenong - Kriegal way park just off Outlook Dr, there's a big park there with HEAPS growing near the creek. Follow the path near the toilets about 100m up.
  • The park next to laburnum station
  • Alfred Nichols & George Tinsdale gardens in Sherbrooke are fruitful.
  • Bundoora/Reservoir. Plenty around the uni campuses up there but they get snapped up very very quickly.
  • Wombat State Forest and the small pine forest above Shoreham beach down on the way to Flinders. Sometimes the Dandenongs are fruitful too.
  • 2 spots in the inner east: the tanbark area of the park on Park Grove, Richmond (the tanbark lies between the oval and Yarra Boulevard) - there's also a few good tanbark spots near the skate park at Camberwell junction
  • Mt Macedon GPS
  • Upper furntree gully used to be nice place. Train access, parkland and a lawnmower to spread spores.
  • Mornington Peninsula national park just walk down hill off the walking track right at the start (might have to jump a few fallen trees and whatnot, also can't remember the name of the specific track, sorry) there is hundreds of them, unless someone got there first.
  • Mount Waverley, look for parks, drive to parks, look for mushrooms. (2008)
  • Had a poke around a national park east of Melbourne today. Lots of little guys popping up (2016)
  • Never picked at Hamilton but have heard good things about shrooms down that corner of vic. (2016)
  • Frankston (2016)

Further Out

  • Macedon and Mt Macedon, Red hill, Flowerdale, Myrtleford, Cropper Creek, Tawanga, Barwidgee, Running Creek Bright, Porepunka, Bright, Bungamero (huge), Winteriga, Matong North, a few around Toombullup like Fens, Spring Creek, Tromps, Blue Range, Kopps, Archeton
