Hey, I am from SA.
I've been around for some time absorbing the info here. I am still getting everything I need together - I will only start growing in May or June so I won't be able to contribute too much for a while.
It's great to see South Africans here.
I am planning a trip to the Transkei when the rains come, I hope I'll be able to contribute something then. It would be great to pick up a local strain from the wild.

Hippie3 · 04-02-08, 22:30

glad you're here

twoguysupnorth · 04-03-08, 01:51

pic of the month? lol. what the hell is it?

globalbird · 06-09-08, 13:22

Hi There mycophiles. Have been growing Pleurotus species for some time. Is there any other members in ZA that would trade spawn or spore prints? Looking to experiment with some other species. Anybody in ZA, please contact.

MrMerlin · 06-09-08, 14:49

Just to air the idea, is there anyone in the motherland with spore prints of the locals?

Blesses

Phlux- · 06-12-08, 03:08

yeah i wont be able to go to the transkeii until at least x-mas time
i will collect spores from the wild then but until then...
anyone got em ?

Alaskan · 06-18-08, 04:16

Hello to all. I'm from Alaska, not ZA but plan to visit next Jan. Glad to see this thread here. I may have some questions before I visit.

Phlux- · 06-18-08, 04:44

where in za will u visit ?

Alaskan · 06-19-08, 13:26

Not sure. Assume the Cape area, would like to check out the interior, maybe Durban area. Wide open to suggestions. Obviously I'd like to try some mind expanding things, clothing optional beaches, wines and local music.

Phlux- · 06-23-08, 03:40

the clothing optional beaches are in cape town - so is the wine plus a perfect nursery for cacti is there, the ganja and the fungus is in the transkeii, it seems everyone grows poppies in pretoria. Durban also has some potent green and is a very chilled place. a road-trip(the driving kind) is essential here

Alaskan · 06-23-08, 12:27

Thanks. Every little bit helps. Those are some of the tough things to find out. I may post more questions here as I do more planning.

Yetti · 06-27-08, 03:48

Cape town is a must, also the out door trance party vibe in summer is good here... then I would say visit the kruger park and other spots.

Phlux- · 06-27-08, 04:18

Phlux- · 06-27-08, 06:10

Hello in SA! I am stuck here in the states for a long time to come, with 4 kids travel isn't an option.

I am a djembe player that is looking to get a new authentic hand carved djembe from SA I have one that I absolutely love. Nothing sounds as good as a true twenoba wood drum. I am wondering if anybody that lives in the area would be willing to sell me/ carve/ whatever another one. I won't buy off of the internet direct because I don't trust that they are truly authentic not to mention I want the money to go to the artist not the middle man. Throw me some prices or trade items or whatnot and we will see what happens. I really would like to be able to talk to the artist, or at least know a little about him/her as I feel a person can appreciate something special like a djembe that much more if you can say you have met/talked to the artisian. Anyway any help in this matter is appreciated!

Has anyone here yet picked any Psilocybe natalensis yet?

mjshroomer

They are in Natal and Pretoria in South africa.

Look like cubes, bno rings or veil remnants and grow quite tall.
pictures can be seen at http://www.mushroomjohn.org/species.htm

have a shroomy day

Termitomyces titanicus form Africa. I have posted here before a picture of two kids holding one over two feet in diameter.

See the two big ones on the termite mound in the first image of the four pictures of mushrooms from the British mycological Society
