yeah ok, i lived there for many years, so it dosen't really answer my question! looking for a little more infomation...........man
Don't go picking those things in the wild unless you reeeeeeeeeealy know what you're doing. There a species that looks identical to it, save for the fact that it will kill you if you eat it. And I doubt that Australia would have a climate hospitable to this breed.... maybe in the north...
What looks identical to fly agaric? Does it grow in England? I thought fly agaric was unique looking.
I looked into it and youre right, sorry bout that, I was thinking of a different mushroom in the Amanita family; the phalloides
shrooms grow in australia, though not as much as america and places in europe. lol i had a feeling youd say you were from byron or something lol. anyway, if you couldnt find them in byron.. then.. well then the stereotype is a fake. or you just never looked properly
I know Browncaps also known as Bluecaps from Myrtleford, VIC, when i vistited my grandma, my cousin had some wildgrowing, he said, it's good stuff! I think it could be a cubensis.
Agaricus has a symbiotic relationship with pine and elm trees. Pine plantations would be the best bet in Oz. Late picking was a few months ago, so next season is mid next year. I got a couple from under a neighbours blue spruce a couple of months ago, but not enough of 'em.
U should find fly agags in oz - only a fool would pick the wrong thing & the wise man will know how 2 prep and trip the fuck out!
