You know you are an addict when... You find yourself having to edit every post made on Shroomery or MushroomObserver, because you keep using the wrong markup language to italics latin names.

Did I bring actives to the meeting that you spoke at? Hahaha, if so, then I could see why you would think that.
Yes, you had a big bag of Psilocybe cyanescens with you. Quote:

Oh okay, then that was in March. I do not usually bring actives, or am more discrete with them for the reasons noted above, however, those ones were fruiting fairly well outside of their normal season, and in a weird habitat (Eucalyptus grove, no wood chips), so I wanted to surprise people with a late collection.
Also, that was not a big bag. It was a small bag.

It was January... And you have to remember I'm from New England; the only Psilocybe I see are a few caerulipes every once in a while. So a small bag for you is a considered a big bag here.

January? Huh... Oh I know, I got mixed up. In January I brought in that little bag, but by March There was only one left since it was the tail end of the season.
I didn't even display the P. cyanescens in January. I remember trying to hide them in that bag, but someone pestered me about what was in it. I displayed all of the other,\ mushrooms I found. Of course, as soon as I showed one person the actives, then they all wanted to see, and I think the bag ended up getting dumped onto the table. 
That is probably why you got that impression. Those mushrooms draw a lot of attention.
And those occasional P. caerulipes are more likely P. ovoideocystidiata, which is far more common.

ovoideocystidiata isn't as common in New England as the mid-Atlantic states, I've only seen it once. Look at the NEMF list, caerulipes was found on quite a few of them.

Wow, you found P. ovoideocystidiata in New England? That's a first.
* edit it was reported from Rhode Island this year

Ahh, I stand corrected. I thought it was generally quite rare and that most reports of P. caerulipes were actually P. ovoideocystidiata that had been misidentified because no microscopy was done. That was of course, the case for all reports of P. caerulipes on Shroomery until the last couple years.

So we just had our annual after-Thanksgiving party. I happened to find some B. edulis that morning, and decided to fry them up for my friends (I had rehydrated some B. auripes in chicken stock in the fridge, but I just had to serve them the kings). Got some great material for this thread:
... you always make a wild mushroom dish for parties.
... you are immediately ready to accurately describe, in correct mycological language and great detail, the genus and species that you've prepared for everyone, including keys to identification, growth patterns, historical significance, international growth patterns, and cost.
... you make everyone nervous at the dinner table as they anxiously await someone else to be the first in the pool and try your wild mushrooms.
... people tell you, "You can get poisoned eating wild mushrooms."
... people tell you, "You should sell these to a gourmet restaurant."
... you educate doctors about Amatoxin poisoning patterns. You caution them NEVER to send a mushroom poisoning patient home--even if they "feel better the next day"--until you found out what mushroom they ate.
... you argue with your Polish friend about the species of Bolete that you've found. Bitch told me that I misidentified them! I told her twenty f*cking times that I'd confirmed the ID on the Internet (here at the Shroomery), they didn't ffing bruise blue and that the reticulation on the stipe didn't match her ID. She kept saying, "these are the kind that bruise blue, and the structure of the stipe doesn't matter"
LOL... all this from two medium-sized B. edulis. Lord in heaven, mushrooming makes for great party conversation.

She did. She showed me a mushroom on a Polish web site.

You don't recall the name?
Weird how people sometimes ignore all obvious evidence against their claim.

She said it was a Sillius sp., but I thought that it was a B. edulis
I had four mushrooms, and they were all from the same patch. She agreed that the others were B. edulis. The fourth looked a little different, but it was older.
I'll get you a pic. It's cut into slices now but I'll show you what I have.

In the interest of not jacking this thread, I have created a new ID request for the mushroom here.

HOLY SHIT  I look for mushies on the road when I am driving in a car too! Obviously, I am not the one driving, don't worry.
You Know you're an addict when... You automatically identify trees with the mushies that grown on them
