Alder and birch are good for Cyans, but pretty much any woodchips will work as long as they are not fragrant like cedars and redwoods.
Look in landscaped areas like schools. Tall grass and scotchbroom or blackberries sometimes. Tall grass and woodchips. Rhodedendron and rose gardens.

Is it worth looking for cyans away from the coast? I'm a little more than an hour's drive inland, in Oregon. Is that too far?

As long as you're on the west side of the state, you should be able to find them.

It was a joke.
As far as picking in schools goes, it is pretty safe. I have talked to police twice who were curious as to what I was doing, and I talked my way out of any suspicion by actually knowing about mushrooms other than actives. I don't think they thought twice.
Start rambling excitedly about chicken of the woods and King boletes and the cops leave.
Luckily, 9 out of 10 hunts provide no actives. The ones that do, you just go home after picking and then you aren't carrying illegal mushrooms for too long.
I live in a school zone anyway so it matters little....

Always try and carry a few non-actives with you so you can show curious folks (or cops) what you're doing
My last times out you would have seen me with:
4 white chanterelles in my hands and a pocket full of G.luteofolius. or A couple huge C.olivierii in my hand and a pocket full of P.stuntzii

Exactly. I walk around my neighborhood with a basket like a little old lady, and there is always some oddball mushroom in it.
I collect and study them all, which helps when people are curious as to what the fuck you are doing staring at the ground ALL THE TIME.

Hey.
I live in the Bay Area (I know... not exactly PNW, but close enough) and have only been mushroom hunting twice. Didn't find anything the first time, but today I found at least four or five different species (which I will post ID requests of later.)
Anyway, these were at a cemetery, and I think they use fertilizer and pesticides, so I'd rather not eat them even if they are edible.
What kind of places am I looking to visit to look for mushrooms? Hills? Lawns? Parks? I'm just trying to get a scope of areas to check out so I can plan some more hunts!

I would focus on landscaped areas. Particularly with lots of mulch, wood chips, beauty bark.

Hills, Lawns, and Parks all work.
Pastures, fields, and long grass, are good too.
Landscaping, woodchips, rhodedendron and rose gardens, schools, and police stations are excellent for the woodlovers.

I've found 7-8 species in 1 strip of beauty bark, most inactive but fun finds, though I was under the impression that cyans specifically didn't grow in it, though many others do. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Cyans prefer non-bark woodchips, but will grow in beauty bark.

What the fuck?
... And just how would that unfortunate person get the "cut or abrasion"? They would have to sit on considerably more then a soft Amanita. Though I have come across many Amanitas in the last few days
I just don't know what to do with em I suppose I could donate to a scientific research campaign to study the effects of Amanita seepage vs. absorbancy of bodily cavities and orifices(such as the anus. Say Twiztidsage, For this experiment we're gonna need some volenteers
To clarify, yes... I am joking Though how commonly are cyanes found in beauty bark?

Whole lot of nothing in my part of the city. It feels way too dry, and I'm thinking the way the weather's looking isn't going to help anything. I did find a couple of Aminitas, but they were pretty aged and bug-chewed.

Here Is An Interesting Mushroom Found In A Forested Grassy Area Near Northern Western Coast Of Or.. It Was the only One I Saw. Around 6 Inches Tall Wet/ 5 Inches Tall Dry. I Am No Expert On Active Mushroom Collecting, Although I Do Hunt --- I Just Never Have Positively Identified Any Azure Or Cyan--- So I Never Eat. This Mushroom Struck Me As A Very Sacred Find. The Entire Stem Was The Most Amazing Iridescent Purple I Have Ever Seen in Any Mushroom. Please Help Identify. Wish I Had Pictures Of It Wet. It Was Growing Right Next To This One. With No Glowing Purple In The Stem.

The first one was likely a Cortinarius of some sort. The second one is just a shriveled little brown mushroom in this state. Impossible to ID. At least for me.

Here we go:
I found these up on a hill in a rather woody area, although where these were found were before the actual 'woods' in the spot I was in, and was in some grass basically. There were only 4 of them and two I picked to get these pics/prints
That one weird looking one was an assumed rotten mushroom still in the ground.
The spore-color is purplish brownish blackish, it's hard to tell. That being said I 'do not' think they are any kind of psilocybe. Maybe panaeolus sp. but idk I'm not that good at ID'ing misc species.
Btw I'm still not finding many mushies at all -- either I'm looking in all the wrong places or the weather's just not quite right for it yet here.

Thx, I'd buy that ..since wiki says they can often occur when other mushrooms don't seem to be around. Those were my only finds that day and they were indeed hygrophanous although I can't find a definite match as to the species.
Went hunting again today, different places this time and found the following
The first two mushies were found in a lawn which was not being very well-taken care of. The third, little pins, were found in a small field which in the spring/summer comes to life with all kinds of daffodils (really pretty, it seems to change color depending on the time-of-year.) Now it's pretty much dead for the year but those pins were found in it.
I didn't take any of them to do sporeprints or anything cause the first 3 pics ones were the only ones in the lawn and the last ones looked to be still growing yet.

Help with Locations [Re: Magick]

I know you guys don't wanna give out certain locations around the good city of PDX or the burbs, but it's hard finding cyans around here for me! Could someone direct me in the right place? I mean, Pm and give me some tips on where I should be looking? I know Cyans grow in light brown to greyish wood chips but to no avail have I seen ANY. I remember I heard that the Kruse Way field in Lake Oswego used to have a plethora of actives, but I think they got rid of the field. :[ Your help is much appreciated.

It's not Boletus Mirabilis. They grow from decaying logs most of the time and the stem suggests some kind of Leccinum. Possibly Leccinum scabrum (Birch Bolete).

As I was hiking around today (and finding nothing) I came to the conclusion that finding active mushrooms took 3 distinct things:
1: Knowledge (Of habitat, season, characteristics of different mushrooms, etc) 2: Persistence 3: Luck
Which one(s) of those 3 are you missing MycoPunx?

Probably number 1 and number 3, I just wish there was more barkchips that fit the description of what cyans grow on around my area... I mean I know what a cyanescen looks like and could most definately spot it from a mile away if I saw it. It's just Location.

I keep seeing large patches of little shrooms, but I can't seem to tell one bell shaped shroom from another. :\

Well, continue to read this forum. Read all of it. Go to your library, read some Mycology books. Learn about mushrooms in general, than narrow your knowledge down to whatever specie you wish to hunt, (though the more knowledge you have about every specie, the better) I even started reading books about certain trees which different types of mushrooms grow around. It just takes time, so be patient. Keep hunting. Keep reading.
