Mycology
8th from bottom is indeed Boletellus. Friends of mine were doing a subject that had a prac on fungi today, so I snuck in and picked the brains of the people running it. They basically vindicated how difficult it is to identify species, and particular in Tasmania where the majority haven't been scientifically described. Even in the collection they brought in, with two of Tasmania's leading experts on fungi, and a mycology phd student, they could only name about half, and some of the ones they had probably were new species. Anyway they showed another picture of the same species, looking very similar to my photo, so I can confirm it

wow, so it looks like it smells then ... .
[it looks like an alien life form eating a human baby ... in a pretty nature way of course : ]
as jeremy well knows, i am incapable of adding anything scientific or intelligent to this topic [although i did watch/listen to the TED talk ... very interesting], but i can offer some more visual examples of australian fungi.
from tasmania [the tarkine rainforest] ...
from queensland [finch hatton gorge, eungella national park] ...
from western australia [stoneville - pic1, and giblett forest - pics 2, 3] ...
jeremy, i'd like all of the above identified by tomorrow morning when we meet for footbag please!
oh, and remember the blue pent wasabi bag and the music .

Excellent photos Lotus. Here are my IDs;
1. Hygrocybe sp. (probably miniata.
2. The lighting makes it difficult to determine. Obviously a Basidiomycot, and my guess is Armillaria novaezelandiae
3. Very difficult, but probably Cortinarius sp.
4. Aurantiporus pulcherriums
5. Hericium coralloides
6. Mycena sp.
7. No idea. Can't even determine the phylum.
8. Maybe Tephrocybe sp.
9-11. Trametes versicolor - "Rainbow fungus."
12. Ramaria sp. possibly lorithamnus
13. Difficult to tell. Could be Lycogala epidendrum in the Myxoomycota phlum, but more likely an undeveloped Basidiomycota. Probably Crucibulum laeve
14. Probably Armillaria pallidula with mould growing on it.

Here's a bunch of new fungi photos
Just near to where I live (about 50m away) is a little gully of native vegetation. The whole area is actually pretty big, but starts very small and narrow, and my girlfriend and I walk around a little loop track - probably about 4km in total. We walk this a few times a week, so are getting pretty familiar with the fauna and flora. I especially often take plant samples home to identify . It's a good walk because the gully has that classical wet on one side and try on the other ecology, so we get two different communities. There's also variable fire disturbance, and one side runs along the back of some houses, so we get invasive species disturbance in a section too - so some nice variation. I also keep a bird list of birds in the area. We often look for fungi too, and in the last 2 weeks there has been an explosion of new fungis, so all these photos come from one walk around that loop, and I actually photographed a lot more that turned out not to be very photogenic, at least in my incapable hands.

I love this thread, btw.
I've done drawings from several of the photos, and have taken pictures of a few fungi but I doubt they're anything special. I have no real interest in the scientific part of it, partially because it seems like such a big undertaking. I actually don't even know if these are all even fungi.
Here's some of my photos:

Some new fungi photos
I took the opportunity to participate in some science/environmental activism doing some studies in to the amount of carbon found in some forests that are planned on being logged soon (as in, this year). It was fun and there were lots of fungi. I'll include a photo of the trees in this forest too, since they are the biggest flowering plants in the world, and debatable the biggest trees in the world (they are slightly smaller than famous Redwoods, but most have the tops knocked off them due to wind, so it's argued that they would grow taller in less windy sites. There are old reports of trees much taller than the Redwoods - the largest report is 140m from the 19th century, but none confirmed, and the early Europeans cut down most of the biggest ones. There are still people who go out into this kind of forest especially hoping to find the biggest tree in the world )
(Lichen is a symboitic relationship between a fungi and an algae )
Eucalyptus regnans (only a small one though. We saw much bigger ones in the forest, but it's much harder to take photos of them. This was taken from the logging road. When this coupe is logged, everything photographed will be destroyed).

No pictures, but I found about 4lb of chanterelles this week in northern Illinois.

I can't figure out how to upload any photos on here cause I'm internet retarded, but you can check out all my mushrooms I have found on facebook. I identified a bunch of them myself but some were also corrected by a Trusted Identifier on Shroomery.

Does the staining blue mean that it's hallucinogenic?
There is only one Hallucinogenic mushroom that has pores and bruises blue. It doesn't contain Psilocybin though, and it was found somewhere in Asia. I can't remember the name of the mushroom besides for that it was a Bolete.
The only hallucinogenic mushroom I have found in the past 4 years of hunting mushrooms is Gymnopilus junonius. Sadly I don't have a photo of it, but I dried it and it has been sitting in my drawer for the past year
I'm off hunting Morels this week hopefully.
Thanks for the heads up on how to post photos.
