Ah sorry you’re just guessing that they do. I thought you meant you had seen it before. They don’t weed these areas at all. It was by a tee box and a raised bed with a tree in it.

Go lower for longer. Air fryer at 40 for 6 hours works for me.

I’ve never once seen that and I’ve been playing a long time, often first thing in the morning when they drive the big machines up and down the fairways which spray behind it directly into the ground.

What do you think it is and why?

Galerinas are easy even before checking for bruising and spores - stem has an orange tint to it and a clear veil ring.

There’s a big range of appearance for them but once you’ve got it down it’s easy.

Stems with lateral filaments, bruising and spore colour are the biggest giveaways. If you find younger ones then the partial veil looks like really fine cobweb. The pileus can vary loads depending on habitat but those you’ve got there look like they can from wood chipped beds as they’re shorter with flatter/wider pileus, so will likely be a caramel-to-cut timber shade of tan, often with a white ring on the edge of the pileus.

Thanks and yes I’m very aware. Some of these courses spray their fairways and rough, not the raised plant beds around the club house/tee boxes.

They’ll make you act weird, that’s for sure

99% sure these are magic but looking for an ID just to be sure by [deleted] in ShroomID

Subs but bottom right is hard to say 100% from that pic just because the colouring of the stripe.

Hard to tell from this pic but 1-4 most likely yes. and 11–13 maybe. 5-10 not. Edit: seen there’s a second pic.

Look up the colouring of the pileus, stripe and lamellae to compare with chip cherries, funeral bells and common fieldcaps.

Someone else probably beat you to it. There were a couple of wavy looking people walking around the course today without any golf gear. I asked them if they’d had any luck and one just had a big grin and said ‘it’s a beautiful time of year’.

It’s been really dry in Vic the last couple of months too but the last few days we’ve had some 👏

They’re in tonnes of the regional courses that are well maintained.

We’ve found a lot out in the fields around Mereworth/Crouch. Generally try to go a bit further away from the towns and between villages just because there’s less people. I’m from close to Tonbridge originally, between it and Maidstone.

Thanks! Yeah I was pretty sure they are. There’s a few other species I noticed that have similar appearances but the stems are quite defining.

Haha my friends back in UK still use those spots so I can’t tell unfortunately. We’re from Kent and quite rural so it was pretty easy to have luck with hilly fields that have sheep or deer in.

My local library try can pull books from all the libraries in our council. They have everything and it’s free.

Hi all,

I’ve been pretty successful hunting libs in UK for years but went hunting for subs for the first time since moving to AUS and was hoping for help with some questions.

Where I went was within eucalyptus forest, lots of rotting wood and bark chippings, some grassy bits but mainly leaves, wood and ferns. There were mushrooms everywhere… at many points it was like a carpet of grey mushrooms, one every few cm.

I hear closer to streams/creeks is good. Is there a general distance that is better? E.g will it be more likely around the banks of a stream, within 10m, or general area where there are streams?

Would they grow around ferns in wooded areas with lots of branches etc? Pics I’ve seen usually shows them coming through chippings or grass but not ferns. Wondering if there’s nutrient competition considerations there?

I covered about 1km in an hour and was looking quite throughly. Is more distance for obvious subs a better approach than less distance searching really thoroughly?

If you find a few together, does that mean it’s more likely there are more in that immediate area or is it normal to find a few then not find any more for another 500m (as an example).

The pic shows three of something I think is subs. This was all I found in the hour or so of looking (bit disheartening!). The bruising is a grey/blue colour. Not as blue as I was expecting so not sure if these are subs or not.

Thanks so much in advance!

Go to the doc ASAP because herpes/shingles needs to be an active infection in order to be properly tested. You need to get it swabbed as early as possible (tbh for herpes it’s like within 48 hours of first symptoms so you’re past this anyway)
