Paul Stamets will be a speaker at the San Francisco Green Festival tonight at 6pm at the SF Concourse Exhibition Hall at 7th and Brannan
http://www.greenfestivals.org/san-francisco/event-updates/san-francisco-hosts-7th-annual-green-festival/
by sheer coincidence, this is only 4 blocks from the Hooper Street guerrilla garden. I went down there today and talked to them and they're going to try and get Stamets over there, but it'll be dark by then. Or we'll try and get the oysters to him, and see if he wants to get them tested
also by sheer coincidence, the very first p subaeruginascens from our shared patch with urbanism just happened to pop up today, so maybe I'll try and get him this specimen...kinda don't want to pay the 10 bucks tho to get in

Hi everybody! This is my first time posting and the first time Ive found actives. I was walking around ggp for a while and i had pretty much given up because every woodchip bed I looked at had been gone through and half dug up. So I was about a 100 yards from car and I just happened to glance over to my left and there where these two little lone cyans obvious as can be about 3 feet from the sidewalk. I was so happy! I also found some more mushrooms right by them that look very similar but there definitely not cyans. They have super red caps and stained red and brownish spores

Although they don't really look like the "regular Cyan", they probably are. They are definitely an active Psilocybe, however.
The red one is Stropharia aurantiace which is also know under various other names. Not really to use, but nice anyway.

Hard to be certain about the first two from the pic, but the lone mushroom on the right is definitely a cyan.

Psilynut, those two are P. cyanescens, as you suspected.
As Fahkface said, the red ones are Leratiomyces ceres (=Stropharia aurantiaca).
Canid, you have enough remotes? If you are going to be around SF or Berkeley, the mycological society meetings are tuesday and wednesday. I will post details shortly.

i'll be making a trip there with the lady soon, but i'm not sure on the date.
enough remotes? hardly. that's not even the complete collection. it shows the important one though, the universal.

Mycological Society of San Francisco General Meeting Randall Museum, 199 Museum Way, San Francisco Tuesday, November 17, 2009 | Identification and social begins at 7pm, the lecture begins at 8pm
The highlight of each meeting is a speaker with slides on some aspect of mycology and mushrooming: ecology, taxonomy, myophagy, sociology, etc. Before each meeting members bring collections which are put on display and identified. Refreshments are served before the meeting. Doors open and identification starts at 7 pm and the meeting starts at 8 pm.

Bay Area Mycological Society General Meeting UC Berkeley, 338 Koshland Hall Wednesday, November 18, 2009 | 7:30 — 9:30 pm
Dimitar Bojantchev will make a presentation on Cortinarius. He will impart a bit of desire in people to learn and appreciate this much maligned and underappreciated Genus. Will try to encourage informed collectors to broaden their skills in the largest, most colorful and least known Genus, which has traditionally been ignored in North America for the reason that there is almost complete absence of usable information and guides to help.
Map for directions to the BAMS meet at Koshland Hall.
Koshland Hall locks the doors at 5pm, but one of the BAMS folks will be waiting by the door until 8pm to let people in for the meeting. So make sure you get there by 8pm. Otherwise, they will probably post a cell number to call if you arrive after 8pm, and someone will let you in.

Don’t just keep ones head down and ones pace steady, look behind to make sure there’s no trail of destruction. Consider that the things below ones feet in physicality, are actually above ones head in importance. Remember that we are not the only ones alive, and are definitely not depended upon to continue living. We are an expendable creature in the eyes of the earth. Thus, we must treat ourselves like we are guests. Accommodations must be made for life all over the planet. The power of life is incredibly diverse, intelligent, and intricate in its adaptability. Lets not give nature a reason to consume us in turn.
