What I mean is that when P. allenii are that young, the caps tend to be perfectly round.

Found an interesting patch of Psilocybes this morning in Piedmont. I'm still working on an exact I.D., but my guess is that they are P. bohemica. Irrigated.

Those are Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata.

Interesting though they have quite the little veil. but i think its morphological. Ovoids...Cool find!

You wont find any actives in the SC mountains bruh. Last season I found Gymnopilus junonius, maybe not completely active but people have said they've tripped off it.

Is it me, or does it seem like people are identifying areas a little too precisely? Come on guys, be careful not to divulge too much and help keep it interesting!

I wouldnt say so, its interesting to see where things turn up around the bay
and city names are not much to go off of, though im sure it does help out the newer hunters confidence a lot in the fact they know there are actives growing in whatever city they are hunting
but quite frankly i imagine one can find actives in most bay area cities given the right amount of time and research.
I get where your coming from though, i tend to keep my patches top secret

I don't have a problem when people identify the location of a big city such as "Oakland" because Oakland is fairly vast. However, I think it is a problem when small towns or neighborhoods are mentioned.
Personally, it took me a long time to find my first actives. I think it took me about 30 hours of endless hiking. We shouldn't deprive somebody of that accomplishment by artificially quickening the process for them by revealing too narrow of a target.

I've found actives in the every area code of the bay area , and even elsewhere .. so they're in every city, for sure. it doesn't really matter as long as your not telling exact locations like the geographical pin point or something because its not like one person can literally find every bay area patch. These patches belong to nature anyhow, we are just visiting to admire their temporary existence I went hunting for Leratiomyces Ceres 3 years ago and used cyans for my indicator species because they were just so much more common .
This year has too be the worse year on record for cyans considering last years drought caused the landscape services cut back on their water usage so even the irrigation patches with much shade aren't yet producing , where as this time last year I saw patches as far north as Dixon producing. We just need a cold front of consistent cold nights.
Hey DavidR welcome to the fourums , congratulations on the Ovoidiocystiata find.. Very nice mushrooms indeed..

You are so right about the interruption of irrigation by the drought. If all the places that had irrigation used it, the whole bay area would be teeming with psilocybes right now.

Three Psilocybe cyanescens finds today in San Leandro. Here's the first.
Here's the second.
And here's the third, which was small and about a hundred feet from the second one.

Nice finds.
If you wash them, make sure to throw the spore water on some fresh wood chips.
Also washing them makes them lose a lot of potency, as you are basically making cold mushroom tea.

Also, letting them dry before washing will ease the process of cleaning

Thanks. Surely any potency loss would be negligible, for otherwise wouldn't mushrooms in the rain be bunk?

I notice the lack of waviness and that allenii is usually a lighter tone when in the pin stage. Though there will always be variables. here is a photo FROM 2012 of cyans and allenii side by side

Everyone should KNOW that they are growing all over their city. I have AT LEAST one patch in every city bordering HWY 101 from Sanfrancisco to Healdsburg!
