I'm pretty sure if you read in the rules, this type of posting is a no no.
There's a gathering forum but you need to have a certain amount of posts in order to see it and participate.

yah im not to worried about local cops reading a forum posts. any cops for that matter. especially since picking mushrooms isn't illegal, and even growing them in a small batch can be considered a decorative plant. the only thing that's actually illegal is having picked, completely dried mushrooms ready for sale in a baggy... im more worried about my post being deleted by an administrator.

 http://drugsinseattle.blogspot.com/2011/01/psilocybin-or-magic-mushrooms-what-do.html
Quote:
Magic mushrooms are an odd case, as far as drugs go. Psilocybin, the typical active ingredient providing the "magic," is a Schedule I drug under federal law. The same goes for another mushroom-manufactured hallucinogen, psilocyn. So far, so good, right?
The catch is that psilocybin mushrooms grow wild pretty near everywhere, and their primary negative effect seems to be the risk of eating the wrong mushroom (a problem I gather is inherent to mycology). The mushrooms themselves aren't often mentioned on drug schedules, and so have had their illegality challenged-- sometimes with success.
Not so much in Washington State.
Washington State courts first tackled the issue of whether psilocybin mushrooms are illegal in 1984 in State v. Patterson. The court decided that, by the wording of Washington's Schedule I (more on drug schedules, coming soon!), even though coca leaves and opium poppies (the natural origins of cocaine and heroin, respectively) are mentioned elsewhere in the schedules, mushrooms qualify for the full ton of bricks that comes with a Schedule I drug because they are, in the schedule's language, a "material ... which contains" psilocybin.
The court thus put naturally-occurring, raw mushrooms in the same category as, say, pills, and went on to pound a few more nails in by declaring that 1) the mention of psilocybin in Schedule I, even without mentioning mushrooms, was enough warning and 2) the common confusion over whether the mushrooms are illegal (a "mistake of law") is no defense.
The courts don't seem to have looked back, since. "Magic mushrooms" are a Schedule I drug in the State of Washington, as illegal as LSD.

Always good to read the big flashy 'read me first' thing
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/2263556
While we discuss mushrooms (of all types), people should not get careless. Magic Mushroom picking is illegal and the forum rules are meant to help protect you. Thinking 'no one would ever do that' is a little naive I am afraid.... With pot off the table for busts, don't think someone coming up for review or election might not want to bust some poor mushroom picker...
As a kid, had a friend arrested for selling a joint to an under cover cop... Booked in felony drug trafficking ... Cause the local Sheriff was up for Re-election.... Needed to show the good folks he was serious about crime.... Just a note of warning....
Peace

I agree it could go very badly, if you get caught with them. That being said, I was picking some a few years ago, and it turned out I was directly behind a police station and didn't even realize it. An officer came up to the other side of a fence and called me over. He asked what I was doing, and wanted to see my mushrooms. He didn't want to hold them, though. He said it was ok for me to go ahead and keep picking, but he was initially concerned that I was taking pictures of the police station. He was pretty nice.

You'd be surprised how quickly cops will turn into assholes with a change in something as small as getting a couple less ounces of coffee in the morning than they're used to, but it's not like anyone here can make you take more precautions than you want to.

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here and assuming that you just don't know any better, rather than trying to insinuate you're actually an agent looking to snag someone dumb enough to meet a complete stranger they've never seen or talked to in order to look for active mushrooms in a field somewhere. You really, REALLY need to read about the Silk Road business, and pay particular attention to the fact that the gentleman in question was tracked through the Shroomery. You can't assume that everyone that peruses the forum is of like mind--obviously there are agents that snoop this site. Just avoid doing/saying something that puts you in a position where you could get yourself or anyone else in trouble, umkay?
Also a worthwhile read from the Washington Post.

Washington state law regarding mushroom picking in state parks (please note this is only the state park regulation, no the law across the entire state)
State Parks Reg. (WAC 352-28-030): Personal consumption: The recreational harvest, possession, or transport of edible plants and edible fruiting bodies including, but not limited to, mushrooms, berries, and nuts, is allowed up to an amount of two gallons per person per day, unless otherwise posted at the park. The harvest amount may be comprised of one or more species. The harvest may occur within the following park classification areas: Recreation, resource recreation, natural, natural forest, heritage, or in parks not yet classified. No harvest of edible plants or edible fruiting bodies, including mushrooms, is allowed within a natural area preserve. Harvest techniques that involve raking or other techniques that have the potential to degrade park natural or cultural resources are prohibited. The director or designee may close, temporarily close, or condition public access to certain park areas for recreational harvesting of edibles upon finding that the activity degrades or threatens to degrade the park's natural or cultural resources, or to protect public health, safety, and welfare. Such closure shall be posted at the entrance to the park area affected and at the park office

and I say that you need to have dried, ready to sell, mushrooms that contain psilocybin or psilocin because the mushrooms themselves are not illegal, and neither is picking them. at least in this state. the contents within them are, however. lucky us, they don't have a field test for magic mushrooms and would have to send it to a lab to get tested. can they send wet mushrooms to a lab? no, they would rot in the evidence bag... so if you were to get busted for that here in Washington, you would probably have to out right admit that you had them in your possession and knew what they were... or you were over your two gallon a day/person limit...
so I stand my ground when saying you guys are ill informed and paranoid.
oh and what's the biggest worry here? getting busted by WestNET (West Sound Narcotic Enforcement Team) which doesn't operate in king county, but does in the areas where you can find a lot more... however in their entire history they have yet to make one bust on magic mushroom possession.... they probably eat those suckers too...
just because a vague federal law states one thing, doesn't mean that there aren't 30 other laws in the state to contradict it...
I just happen to be in one the states where they are more worried about people harming the habitat in which they grow then the underground sales of such things... growing mushrooms that aren't native to our area is a an entirely different story, but that's because they always catch them with massive amounts of DRIED fucking mushrooms...
its like BLAM FACTS IN YOUR FACE and everyone shuts up

and if your getting harassed for weed, your obviously not in the same state as me... or your like 12 years old selling pounds... cause about 99 percent of the cops here were pro legalization. and that's just it, its legal. doesn't matter what federal law thinks, their jurisdiction is 50,000 dollars or more in value... the dea also wouldn't be interested unless you were obviously trafficking over your legal limit (which just about everyone in this state that sells has a green card, and every person that gets busted within their legal limit (15 plants, 24 ounces) doesn't hold up in court, the end up sueing and getting all their shit back....
for someone to get busted with a felony because they got caught picking aziez...well that person Is just fucking stupid...
it's like, that kid that thought he could fly when he was on acid, jumped off a roof then died. 1. that's one fucking moron. 2. take off from the ground.

Where in that law does it say that psilocybin containing mushrooms are legal to pick. I just see it saying mushrooms are ok to pick. Implying ones that are not specifically scheduled I would think.

I found this somewhere on the internet: (In Washington state in 1984, the case State V Patterson (Wash.App., 679 P.2d 416) also held that Fiske did not apply and live mushrooms could reasonably be considered containers of psilocybin. "The key word 'material' means 'consisten of matter'. This meaning is sufficiently explicit to include substances in their natural state as well as a chemical derivatives or compounds. We conlude that it was the clear legislative intento to inlclude the psilocybin mushroom as a controlled substance.")

I find it interesting... We have seen several 'odd' posters recently
I wonder if some of these are journalist looking for a story after the taking down of Silkroad website. So not cops but someone looking for a story...
In other forums... Have had a number of people specifically asking for drugs or drug contacts... Even though it's expressly forbidden ...
Just my thoughts
