 Having a hard time...

first off i am from the gulf coast area of alabama
Okay I am new to shrooming, I tried to trip from some shrooms a few nights ago and they were duds so i wanted to find my own so i researched what to look for.
The first night i had someone drop me off and my friend and i slid under a gate and went looking for some, we found different types but none were close to what i had seen picture wise of the types that grew in this area.
The second night i found another field and i tried to get through the barbed wire fence and it pulsed my ass twice and i did check for an electrical current, every 15 seconds or so it would send a charge through. But anyways on this cow field there were mountains of shit but nothing growing in or around it, i drove by today and noticed that they were smaller cattle probobly being raised.... to be slaughtered
The weather has been really hot during the day with a little drizzling every day for a few minutes, and about 4 days ago we had a pretty good storm.. is it to late to go out and shroom?
And since the cattle in the second field were younger do you think that maybe the field wont have them or should i look further
Panaeolus cyanescens
Gymnopilus junonius
Panaeolus subbalteatus
Psilocybe cubensis
how much should it rain to activate the growth of these?
how long do i have to wait for these types after it rains to show up? i had friends tell me that its just a few hours after it rains that the small ones will come, but what about the ones with the golden nipple (hehe) please help me out =) thank you
i will have pictures and a journal soon

Excellent. It always helps us to know approximately where you are.

Doing your own research rocks. I do as much of that as I can. That way if I fuck up it's on me.

That's ok, at least you were looking.

Getting shocked sucks, but no one said mushroom hunting is easy. Rattlesnakes, raging Bulls and cops. But what ya gonna do? Slaughtered cattle! 
Mmmmm my favorite.

No, the more you look, the more you find. If it's hot like that try to find pastures with woods, high grass or a river nearby. Implee hit it on the head.

The age of the cattle does not matter as long as they are grazing grass with shroom spores.
Panaeolus cyanescens, aka Copes. Yes you can find them.
Gymnopilus junonius unauthorized name. Gymnopilus spectabilis is the common name. They grow on wood and are not in a pasture.
Panaeolus subbalteatus aka Subbs. Yes, but they mostly grow on horse poo. They can be in cattle poo though.
Psilocybe cubensis aka Cubes. These are the ones you want and are found with cattle. They are bigger and easier to see.

The poo species? 1 day give or take a shower

Implee nailed this one
Quote:

That's horse poo as well.

Cool! Welcome to the Shroomery. I can't imagine you writing a journal

No problem man. Just keep hunting and finding them. We'll help you figure out what they are.

It's a mix between dead hardwood logs and live trees. I don't find many on pines but we don't have many in our area.
Try Googling or using our search engine.
And don't worry about asking questions. Without questions this forum would barely have any threads.
