the climate and habitat in mitchigan would suport siberian tigers too, but you don't see many of them.

LoL, nice.

Yeah, I am pretty confident that it's somewhat up to chance, and that cubensis just hasn't gained a foot hold in cali yet for whatever reason....

Which is why I think all the growers in cali should start a foreign species introduction to the california!!!  :grin:
Seriously!  Everyone should just start burying all their spent cakes and casings, and every extra spore print should go to a bucket of spore solution that we pour over promising locations in hopes of a future grow and spread of more spores!!

Well okay, it might not happen, but it should.

soo.. there not here cuz there just not here.. is what your saying?? If its possible then why not?? maybe a more thought out response like "there not there because they are not native to that area". but i knowwhat your sayin :wink:

you know some guy out in the county somewhere out here has a patch going by now its 2006.. probably many do so why isn't tat accounted for?? if they can live out here then what is stoping them from being intruded and thriving??

well, some parts of cali would probably support the climatic requirements of the species, but they would have to get there in the first place. to get there from the gulf coast, they would have to cross hundreds of miles of unsospitable geography, and this can not happen directly. in order for them to get there by spore, two sexualy compatible spores would have to travel that distance concurrently, land within a few feet to a few inches of one another, germinate, mate and survive. the odds of this happening are mind boggeling.

it may be possible to introduce them to a habitable area, but consider how many 'tries' must sometimes happen in the wild before a species is actualy naturalized to a new area; before a colony surives through enough generations to spread and become endemic.

Thank you concrete. I think there MAY be some areas of california or some isolated cases of cubensis popping up, but basically, they probably have not spread for the reason island wildlife, such as in Australia, before human interference (transportation) was rather contained to that geography, simply because the animals could not cross the ocean, as the cubes cannot thrive in much of the area surrounding the fertile areas of cali.
There may be other reasons as well, that cannot be accounted for, but I think that is the basic explanation for the absense of this species in our state.

not only that, but i think a lot of people who well muchrooms find it more reassuring to say "i picked these the other day" than "i'm committing fellony manufacture". i've heard people in idaho claim they used to pick cubensis in the mountains too, but they both clearly didn't know thier ass from a gastroboletus :wink:

well, all and all i guess I'm going to just keep looking for Copelandia cyanescens for now.. they seem to be all over this area, though I have seen them and never harvested them.. I'm going out tomorrow to see what I find and I'll post some pics as well.. I'm about 80% sure copes is what Ive been seeing out here.. but I'm sure you all can help me clarify that :laugh:

All the cultivated species have been heavily grown in Cal. for decades so plenty of spores around as have people been establishing by inoculating and by spreading their local producing woodchips and bark planters from general Bay Area north through the Pacific Northwest.....this was actually a popular fad/ mindset in PNW in the past with wood chip thriving Psilocybes in places like Golden Gate Park (now thats a shocker) for instance......Copes and Cubes have been occasional temporary advents in coastal Cal. in the past when all the planets were aligned......but the reason for them not able to quite get a foothold is because those are 'tropical' species and Calif. is only subtropical at best excepting for those occasional offshore monsoonal influenced weather systems.

Though its possible to come across a Cope occasionally your probably finding something else but either way lets see some nice pics of whatever they are ....even non active types are always appreciated
