They like the cold, now is not the time for them. I'd start looking in late sept-mid oct. I've never picked them in the wild personally, so I'm not sure of the specifics of what they like, but I hear they're generally found pretty close to the coast in manmade woodchip beds, creek/river-side riparian zones and dune grasses. I recall a number of supposed fruitful locations being posted on the boards here in the seasons past, perhaps a search is in order.... 
Peace

Yes, they grow at sea level in hardwood debris in Oregon but high in the mountains under evergreens in Washington, makes sense to me....

Psilocybe azurescens is not the most potent shroom in the world. P. cyanescens is.
However, you can find P. azurescens growing around sand dunes and sandy soil areas in Hammond and Astoria, Oregon. I will mention there are many public places in that region where these shrooms are found, but police stake out parks in the dunes areas of the ocean in the fall watching for pickers in the dunes.
The mushroom can be plentiful or picked over easily since there are many . You can also find them growing along with P cyanescens.
have a shroomy day

I was giving a lecture at Breitenbush Hot Springs in Lake Detroit, Oregon in the year 2000 with One of the Original Dung Brothers and soem friends.
After the conference, me, one of the dung Brothers and a young couple, Henry and Paula went to Astoria and Hammond. We were picking in a public beach-park area of Hammond when a police car parked and watched us for several minutes. We all became intimidated and only photographed the shrooms instead of picking them. We talked ;loudly as ifd we were on a photographic field tri[p.
The cop obviously knew why we were there so because he was there watching us in the swamp along the coast, we decided not to pick and immediately left. We scould see his head following us as we drove from the beach park.
here is a picture of Paula with the two mushrooms we first found before the cop arrived to watch us.

grrr, that must have been the worst feeling. just leaving awesome shrooms growing to rot because of some uncontrollabe event. when i was very young, i used to mushroom hunting for 3-4 hours in the pine forests of poland with various adults. seeing mushrooms still growing as we were leaving in the car i begged to stay and just pick a few more and they refused. that was my mushrooming youth. begging adults.

hahahaha, nazis, thats more like your childhood MJ
since i used to be in poland mostly during the summer, not in the main august-october picking season when HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of people were out in the fields, i hunted a lot of Xerocomus badius and even more CHANTERELLES.
chanterelles started as early as early june in poland and kept on fruiting until september. other than that we found a lot of Boletus edulis (especially on our trips to northeast poland), Xerocomus subtomentosus, Xerocomus chrysenteron (so many they were almost considered a weed), Leccinum scabrum in birch forests, Leccinum aurantiacum and Leccinum griseum, quite a bit of Suillus granulatus, A LOT of Hydnum repandum (although we didnt know this species was edible or what it was until another hunter told as about it when it was too late), and some Suillus bovinus.
as you can see we mostly hunted Boletaceae. that is what most people go after in poland as far as edibles.
also, i found quite a lot of Macrolepiota procera in fields and a few Lactarius delisiosus even they didnt start usually until the middle of July.
i remember the polish forests being filled with Amanita fulva. Russula fellea, Russula cyanoxantha, and other red Russalas were found in the hundreds especially in the birch forests where Leccinum species were found.
other than that i dont remember what else we picked. it was a great time.

I agree that he is probably one of the greatest Ethno-Mycologists there are but its just everywhere i have read it has said Azures are more potent, with a Percentage of Psylocin/Psylocybin of above 1 percent. and Cyans at about .70.
Care to enlighten me Mj?

I have posted this and others similar here before. I have analysis to proive that Pau;l Stamet?s listing of Aazurescens is not the most postent shroom in the world.
Read this and then asked anyone from The PNW who eats these baby fellows (Psilocybe cyanescens Wakefiled) exactly what it is I have explained over and over.
Each individual shroom has a different balance of chemicals in it when placed next to another shroom of the same species. And different species have different potencies.
Psilocybe cyanescens in its young stages are the most potent of mushrooms. Here is an example of their power. You can have four to five large mushrooms such as these postred below, weighing one fresh ounce and only get four to six people high. Those shrooms posted below are fresh and weighed a slight few grams over one fresh ounce.
and then you could have a one ounce bag of many fresh baby Psilocybe cyanescens weighing one fresh ounce and get 20 people high on the same weight. But that has only been found to occur with P. cyanescens. Some say P. subaeruginosa are also potent in the button stages.
Here is the picture of small potent Psoilocybe cyanescens.
That clump came close to an ounce. At a party we fried 17 people with the approx 37 shrooms in thatt cluster of musrhooms, each one to one and a half inches in height and a few close totwo inches.
A one once fresh ounce bag of these babies could have from 25-40 or more one to two inch high small P. cyanescens and get as many as 15-20 people high with no problem at all.
mj
This was slightly revised from another post to better explaine the potencie of the Psilocybe cyanescens.
For better verification one can always asked Homestead book Co. about the private Mushroom party where several people went to the emergency room for pigging on a bowl of such bbabies ehern they were told not to eat more than three or four small shrooms.
Several ate ten andmore and got pranoid and went and had their stomachs pumped because they did not listen.
ANd another thing, P. azurescens loise over half their potency aftrer several months of being stored.
Gartz found that out while doing private research at Leipzig University.
mj
mj
And without being arrogant, anyone here can believe anything they want about whatever they read elsewhere or not. That is your trip. I just share some of my klnowledge and if people want to doubt it becasue they read something different elsewhere than that is their trip/.
Oh yes, one more thing, 7 to 10 fresh Copelandia cyanescens can also be more potent than one giant P. azurescens of the same weighyt.. Ask anyone who has eaten them for the first time and tripped.
My chemical analysis revealed that Copelandia cyanescens collected by me in Hawaii was the most potent Copelandia ont he islands. However, every single mushroom analysed is of a different chemical count and would have different potencies which are not consistent soith other shrooms of the same genera.
Read the Bigwood and Beug and Beug and Bigwood articles I posted here on the analysis of twenty collections of specemsns from 7 genera and see the varied difeences in analysis from shroom to individual shroom.
One mushroom being potent does not make the who genera potent as the one single shroom.

Hey Airdog !!! Did you ever find any P. muliericula or any other interesting species ? 
If your friend lives in Oregon, he has several species to look for, besides the azures. That state sounds like a 'shroom hunters paradise 
Good luck with the hunting ! ! !

Unlike MJ, I have no experience with p cyans or azures, but Copelandia cyanescens can definitely light your ass up. Don't overdo it with those little bastards.
I've heard that Ps. weilii is right up there with'em also. Maybe one day I'll find out for myself .

Well, the picker is back. Oregon coast had little if no security last year. Sence last year's security was down this years will be sure to be EXTREME. Best idea is going to a location in washington in longbeach. But "WE" also have tight security. A mushroom picker's best idea is to just plant an artificial bed in its perfect climate and conditions. Than just going to that spot away from homeland security. I've made a trip to longbeach, and there are no mushrooms growing. As i can see.... I've been to my beds and they are getting ready. Call it a late year this season.

Ok, well considering in the news last year they said they were cutting funding to the oregon coast security for other funding purposes. I also tryed going to a remote area this year and there were AT LEAST 10 ranger scoping the area. They dont like to let you know they are watching intell they know you have illegal substance on you. My point was this. If you dont wanna risk it at home and going out and risking your ass for some mushrooms that you have to search for (which takes hours of picking). Just plant a bed in a safe place, and when it comes time, pick and dash. No messing around. Thats my point. Your safer buying them from a drug dealer than picking them. Plant your own beds, and there is alot less risk. Be smart.... risk yourself one year, and get spores and plant your own bed. I have a picture by my name. That plus 3 times that amount took me 10 minutes to pick and be out. PLay it smart. Best area's are along the coast of oregon and SW washington..... So, in that mind, thats my point. Also, the season has not started. I SHOULD KNOW. My beds would be ripe if it was.

I've found some azures, posted pics about a week ago. They're out.
As far as starting your own beds, *definately*. Your post sort of implied that you can save yourself trouble by making patches still on the coast, but not in the heavily watched areas. It might be better to do it far from the coast. They might not last more than a few years without the coastal grass, but thats a little work every couple years and none of the dashing you mentioned.
Just a thought.

Where exactly are you referring to when you say the bay area? I usually think of san francisco when I hear that.
They certainly are out to get azure pickers in Astoria. Plenty of arrests last year.
edit: Just looked at your (very cool!) sig. You do seem to be referring to san fran. Azures don't grow down there.

Yes, make your own patches. VERY easy.... And the best time is usually right after halloween. Considering the beach has not had a REAL "first Storm" In ENGLISH a huge rain and alot of coldness.... Finding them in the rain is easier than in the sun. And the only down side to the season is alot of the tourists have left. And its only US out there making it easy for US to get cought. So, just a loving word from ThePicker, get your personal stash and leave it at that and wait intell next year. And clip them, dont PULL them out of the ground. Leaving a nice harvest for next year.
