Happy Friday Weilii hunters, I have been lurking lately and learning a good bit about the Weilii's and other shrooms. The information distributed is much appreciated.
I am in Gwinnett County, and I have recently have started to hunt. I have enjoyed numerous psychdelic experiences in the past . Although a family man now, man it blew me a way and in a funny way made me a little proud that this great magical mushroom among others are native here. Dang I wish I knew this a long time ago. Being just a casual smoker having some Weilii's around for some well planned and lower level experiences may be just what the Doctor ordered.
That's my basic intro, I have been out the past few days due to this rain and haven't seen much fungus growth overall yet. It seems like we are getting close though. I did drive by a yard on my way from work and did see some honey clusters in yard where some landscapers working. Being a novice I jumped out they must have thought I was a nutter as I pulled this giant cluster out of the ground. I drove nervously to the next neighborhood to get the cluster out of the passenger seat and into my trunk, and as I pulled over to the side. I looked up and the adjacent new yard had the same clusters all of the place. I thought I was the luckiest dude alive . Unfortunately negativo, but those suckers seem to resemble the Weilii a lot. I took some spore prints and they were white, not to mention the cap seemed a little to rough and yellow.
Basically here is the deal, I have another buddy out in Cobb I told about and neither of us are going to spread the word, as much as the news is already out I would rather not compound that at this moment.
I am just looking for a few patches in my area, I hope I find them. I look in neighborhoods, parks, office complexes, when I am out on a jog. If I could gather a 1 lb or so fresh I think a light weight like myself being a North Atlanta native would be pretty stoked. Anyhow I probably won't post too much but I appreciate the info and look forward to being a participant here.
I hope I haven't broken any rules yet and any hunting partners in the area would be cool as well. Not too mention, learning about this noble funghi has also open my eye's to the poisonous and edibles which seem interesting considering cooking is somewhat of a hobby.
peace and good luck

I've got a couple of finds, I am not too confident they are what I am seeking, but then again supposedly they vary. The one that is larger didn't seem to bruise blue it seemed to bruise purple it also had cream to purplish gills. It was difficult to get a spore print but I managed to get something out of it, it was a light purplish brown. They had an extremely powerful odor, which didn't want to go away until a few hand washes. The largest cap was about 11.5 cms.
The smaller ones didn't bruise at all not a great sign, but the shape and form seemed very suspicious and the spore print clearly came out a dark brown, not sure if I see purple in there. I picked the smaller ones and left some more mature ones that seemed like they could use a little more time. The habitat was perfect, it was close to a mile in the woods, on sort of flat open plateuish area with decomposing pines everywhere. These 2 patches were found within 10 yards of each other and it seemed like they had the same smell so I am guessing they are the same thing but the larger ones are mature.
I apologize about the photos I didn't have time to format the best settings. I kinda had to take the pictures quickly. Anyhow I wish they were the real deal, if not if you know what they are it's always good to learn. Thanks for any feedback.

To post them in your thread just left click on the box of code underneath the photo and then paste the code here.
*Edit* None of those mushrooms look like Weilii. The first few photos I am not sure what they are. The photos with the purple-looking stem may be a Cortinarius species with that spore print. They might even be blewits if you're lucky.

yeah that was my hunch, man that sucks when you are hunting and you see something you get psyched and almost convince yourself that maybe they are Weilii. They will reveal themselves when I am ready I guess.

These look like pinners if I compare to some of the other pics. Still new, they are too young for a spore print. It appears there my be a little blueing here and there. I hope so, please tell me I struck gold. If not they look pretty hardy and delicious whatever they are.

The big one is about 3 inches tall, so the little one may be about 1 to 1 1/2. Maybe I should eat the small cap and see if I go to the emergency room. They did have a fresh pleasant lightly sweet smell to them... How hard would I trip off of the little guy, probably not much than again I don't have any psilocybe in my system
Do these look like anything? I have been looking pretty steady for 3 weeks now. If anyone with experience from North Georgia has any input help a fellow psychonaut out...

WeiliiGod,
If you could, mainly for the sake of learning something, I am grateful to all responses, what about these pics throw you off? Having not much experience to me they look really similiar to other pinners maybe going to the next stage of growth. The stem sizes, the color, and the sweet smell seem close enough.
With that said if for some reason if I look at them tommorrow and they are almost all blue would that be enough for me to toss a few caps back hegh hegh heeeegh?
I am pretty anxious what about these are sure signs they aren't possibly Weilii?
One thing is for sure these guys are tough I wrapped them in a napkin and squeezed them and they maintained their structure. I was amazed at how stable they were.

They're more likely boletes with blue bruising pores. It's nearly impossible to tell from the pics/lack of info you provided.

What other info do you need? I found them in some lush fescue, the neighborhood is about 5 years old from one of the designated zones. The pics aren' the clearest but would seem that they would be enough for an experienced shroomer. My question is really, what about them does not look like a Weilii late stage pinner?
The color, the stem texture, the lack of glossy cap... Help a brother out I am just trying to learn something.
It, looks like I am getting a lot of vague and uninspiring responses, this does not assist me. Could someone edumacate me before I eat and die.

Cut one of mushrooms in half and photograph it. Also, there is more info you could provide ...
Were there any living trees nearby? What is the spore color? In order to know the latter question you need to find a fully mature specimen, type in google's search bar "how to do a spore print.," and follow the instructions from mushroomexpert.com.
Also, you get vague responses because you give vague info. And the specimens' stem texture/thickness far more resemble a Cortinarius or Boletus rather than a Psilocybe.
DO NOT eat it. If you do consume so recklessly, you will die one of these days. It may not be soon, but if you keep it up it'll happen methinks. I can't say I'd feel sorry for you either.

grassroots said: i got a late start on my picking this year. a few years back the areas i picked had literally pounds of weilii growing on the hill sides. today i only managed to get 3oz of wet mushies.
these were the only fresh ones i found. all the others were on the way out and starting to decompose.
 lone pinner

Nice finds considering how cool the temps are!

EDIT: You mind if I ask what county?

does the cold really affect them that much? i thought only frosts hurt them...
The cold makes them grow slower I hear (I'm in Whitfield and they haven't made it this far North yet) but in the next few weeks the time for potential frosts is coming.
