Wow! Awesome stuff! Did you know of these spots of just head out to some clearcuts and look?

I found some last year but the road has been blocked off all season long so I just started searching new areas.  Out of the 8 cuts I checked, 5 of them had pelliculosa growing in them.  Every single spot that had them also had twice as many hypholoma and about an equal amount of galerina.  One time I was just driving down the logging road and I saw a huge patch of hypholoma growing on the edge so I hopped out and sure enough there they were.  They're just starting to pop up too so now's a good time start searching.

wow you did it bro!!

those are beauty specimens and stellar pics!! those could be silvaticas i guess, you need a scope to tell the difference. but the cap coloring is supposed to be more yellowish than pelliculosa.

awesome finds man!

  I doubt they're silvatica if they're supposed to be more yellow then.  Maybe since they were growing through grass they just look different.

Awesome! So these fruit very late then? What are the Temps they fruit at? Assumably quite low. I always thought Pelli's grew more or less at the same times as other actives, but the cyans are ending and these are starting..... Thats cool!

---

Yeah, I really don't know the temps for fruiting.  Last year when I found them it was mid November.  I only found them in one clear cut, the only one I searched in because I had the swine flu and I felt like shit.  This year I searched every weekend in October and didn't find any.  I didn't get out again til this weekend and they're everywhere, tons of pins a few mature fruits but no really old rotten ones.  Unfortunately it might be over already up here... It started snowing this morning around 7 and it has not stopped since.

I have to agree with everyone else, those are some very awesome pictures.  Someone should put one of these (or a couple) on the wiki article for Psilocybe pelliculosa.  If that's okay with shroom360 that is.  The picture that's up there now pales in comparison to these photos. 

Nice job shroom360

Thank you.  That would definitely be ok me.

i will eat some next week to let you know how they are. but just cuz they are less potent it doesnt make them worthless. they dry quite small so you dont have to eat big caps like gyms. so instead like libs, which they dry and look exactly like, when you eat 20 + for pellies i will eat 40+ . sometimes the fruitings are huge so they are an awesome mushroom. i was just about to put some serious effort but this stupid fuckin snow ruined it.
