Pan. Cinctulus hunting questions.

I am searching specifically for pan. Cinctulus, and I want to re-establish all the information I have gained on everything from the habitat, to the month and to the temperature.
Weather/date: Humid and 80 degrees by 12 O clock tomorrow, 2-3 days after rain shower, August 30th.
Location: all possible ideas I have so far are on trails that horses ride on constantly and most likely shit on a lot. (Only because if I'm to pussy to trespass onto a pasture.) BUT if I find an abandoned pasture that is spacious to as where I won't get f*ckin shot by a farmer then yay for me.
I have recently checked on a lot of lawns. A friends backyard and an apartment complex lawn and woodchips everywhere but nothing but a p. foe. Which I heard are harmless and contain alkaloids other then psilocybin.
I am very new to actually taking hunting seriously and putting in my 2 cents and doing research. Hopefully If all my research pays off and I find a good field that I won't get trampled by bulls, electrified by fence, or a shell of rock salt to the face from a pissed off farmer then wish me luck and let me know of my outcome and help ID me to my first successful actives!!

These are the p. foes. I found today, I tossed them because I had a hunch because the gills were brown. But the caps looked promising as most p. cinctulus have the same ring design on top from the pics I've seen. So excitement can easily be ruined by the slightest details, now that my eyes are slightly more trained on what to look for my search tomorrow should be promising I look forward to seeing my first jet black spore print. I have Syrian rue, and acacia confusa, so my ayahuasca experiences have made me want to delve into mycology more seriously.

Well bottom-left is definitely a foe, the other 2 its hard to tell without better pics and a spore print. Bottom-right in particular looks promising to me. But either way you seem like you are on the right track. Unfortunately I think the cinct season is past its prime in your part of the country so you will probably not find as many as you would a month ago.

Damn..... is there any point at all for me to go searching ? I read somewhere that the whole 'prime season' for hunting these shrooms is just a generalization.
That they grow annually given the humidity, temp, rainfall.
That's why California you can almost get them year round. I live in the more farm country side of newyork.
I REALLy need to solve the confusion on the best habitat to find them.
Some people say cow pastures, some people say no not cows only horses, some people report that normal lawns could even hold p. cinctulus. Any help on what would be best for my region? And damn I know that p. foes are indicators right?

And In some places late August early fall is still a great time to hunt them as long as its sunny after it rains

Don't limit yourself. They grow in all of those places and more.
Here are some pan cincts found in a woodchip tree bed in downtown Washington DC
  
Happy hunting. 
But, horse manure and manured lawns are their favorite places.

Wow those are beautiful specimen. Those look like pan cinctulus to me!
The only thing that confuses me is your habitat I thought for sure they don't grow on woodchips?
And I'm going out hunting today!! Hopefully ill bring back a brown paper bagful of cincts
Just went out and searched lawns couldn't even find a foe. :/ hopefully ill have better luck on my journey today

If the woodchips are fertilized, they will grow from the soil under the chips. It's a lot rarer than horse manure and yards though.

From my experience cincts love to grow on pastures like this

Can you see this tall thick grass? They love grow nearby, also there should be hay or dead grass laying around. Cincts grow nearby old shit, not especially directly on it. I clear more than 1kg from my field every time I go. I know it can be frustrating spending all this time on finding right field, but when you find it, it will be worth it, seeing cincts everywhere you look around.

Didn't know they liked sheep shit too.
Or is it the straw/hay?
Either way, good info.

Disregard sheep, I found this picture on google. Grass configuration is important, fuck the sheep.

Young cincts will look like they have brownish gills. When in doubt, spore print them always.

I see mottled gills which means a Pan species. Also, they look blackish/charcoal. Very promising IMO.

Also cincts can vary so much in shape and size, it depends on depletion of nutrients, weather. I found cincts that were even smaller than foes. Best way is to find good field, pick couple flushes and learn cincts genetics. I bet beginners throw away perfectly good cincts, just because they can vary in look so much and confuse. I still throw some when I'm not sure.
@OP your pictures are not good for identify, because you have bad focus. Your hand is focused and cap is blurred.

In my unprofessional opinion, I'd say you got 'em. 
Wait for a TI to confirm before consumption though.
