If you were gonna take a road trip here to find mushies, id make sure you stayed atleast a good week (or untill you hit jackpot). Cause driving all the way here to freeze your nads off and not find anything would really suck.
And the cold weather can be really discouraging lol.

i used to smoke alot of weed and find alot of shroomies hunting. now i dont smoke weed and still find plenty of shroomies. no diff. once you figure out the habitat and have it down your pretty much good to go.

The road trip's a no-go unfortunately. Depends on where you are in the PNW in terms of cold. I'm on Lake Erie so... yeah. I was going to spend time in Yellowstone too. I was prepared to pretty much push myself to the limit.

I thought all this out bc I was looking to take a roadtrip to the PNW but unfortunately that fell through. You're blessed to be in the area you're in if your on the hunt for actives. You're outlook might work in the short run but WorldSpirit's will help you in the long run.
It sounds really easy to just stroll through some dune grass but don't kid your self for an instant. The grass tends to be two and a half to four feet high and thick as hell. In most places there aren't even trails to follow. And the fact that you stick out like a sour thumb combing the beach grass. Its all too obvious what you are doing. Thats the main reason that I won't pick any even if I do find some because the "MAN" sees you doing what you are doing and you don't see the "MAN" because your head is down concentrating. The last time I went to the fort park in Oregan, state troopers in pick up trucks were doing their own hunting for shroom hunters. If you go take a dog it looks less obvious.

Interesting. I guess I envisioned them keeping an eye out more in the "woodchipped" and trail areas. Also it seems to be that having one's head down concentrating is indicative of all shroom hunting, but sifting through the grass--I see your point. So you don't pick actives at all?

Well the park rangers are who give people trouble out there on the coast, not the police. In the state park that I've been to there really isn't any wood chips and very few trails other than the beach itself. Also you are not allowed to pick ANY mushrooms at all in this park. This is the sign that is posted on the road leading to the beach/dunegrass...

that's so shitty. what the fuck is wrong with the world when it's illegal to pick mushrooms? Is this a problem all up and down the coast? I've been to a lot of parks on the beach in OR before, but have never seen signs like this, though I've heard of them. One friend of mine told me this summer "you just go where the signs tell you not to". lol. But that's a real bummer. I've been wanting to make it out to the coast to do some hunting sometime this season, especially since the woodchips in my area are providing very little, at least so far, but that really freaks me out. I don't like the po-pos. No sir-ee.

I take pictures and identify its mostly about the hunt. I pick edibles I can find, but I am too paraniod to pick any actives.

Cool. I don't want you to get the impression that I just look for actives. I live in an area with very few actives and I've never done shrooms. If they were in front of me though in considerable numbers, I might pick a few. But looking around to see someone watching me... yikes.
