question to pnw hunters
    #10455529 - 06/04/09 05:51 PM (14 years, 8 months ago)

Has any one ever found any actives other then Amanitas in forests. I always find Pantherinas but Im not 100% sure and they seem to be unpleasant anyway. In the forest next to my house theres a swamp,aldar wood chip trail, and tons of rain. but never find any actives. Am I not looking hard enough or is it rare to find shrooms in forests.

Some forests are full of psilocybin mushrooms, others only fruit them very rarely.  They are not common in PNW forests, but sometimes people come across wild patches of Psilocybe cyanescens and Gymnopilus.

Your best bet in the PNW is by far wood chip landscaping.  This time of year you would be looking for Psilocybe subaeruginascens.

Do you meen chips as in tan chips like in playground areas or like mulch. I have been shroom hunting since September and have never seen mushrooms in actual chips.

I seriously wouldn't suggest messing around with Amanitas such as a. pantherina unless you have extensive experience with identifying species in the Amanita genus. A slight flaw in your identification could mean the difference between life and death. If you are really determined to experiment with Amanitas (and I don't recommend them to anyone) - I'd suggest studying up on A. muscaria. It's one of the easier members of the genus to identify accurately macroscopically.

As far as actives in the PNW goes, there are plenty to choose from. It is one of the best areas to find actives in. You will find a lot of documentation about actives in the PNW on this site. Try starting with the main hunting documents on this site. Another thing you can do to look up recent finds is use the search posts feature, where you can look up your exact area. If none of this works, a google search will also yield tons of useful information - just don't rely on google images alone as a source of identification, as photos alone can be misleading to beginners.

You might keep your eyes peeled for Conocybe smithii around the swampy area you mentioned.  I've never actually seen one of these in person, but the information seems to match up for this season and your location.

Course, they're rare and easy to mis-identify.  So maybe it would be worth skipping it :laugh:
