Habitat: Light colored wood mulch (thinking alder), and surounding grass. Tacoma WA.
The stems are white and were slightly bruised blue before I even picked them. Im pretty sure these are cyans..just thought I should make sure! I'm in the middle of getting a spore print right no, will post when finished. Thanks in advance!

Awesome what is proper dosage with these? I'm not in a hurry to eat them or anything,I really love the hobby! Just not very experienced with anything other than pot.

Please don't pick the mycelium out of the ground, if you want to make sure that it will be around to fruit for future seasons. Avoid pulling on the mushroom with big clumps of dirt like what you did there. Cut with scissors~

Cyanescens for sure. Be aware that deadly species like galerina like the same habitat so look for bruising on all that you may have picked. Kneesocks has good info too if you want to see that patch stay for years or get larger. You can take the bottoms off (stem butts) and put them in soaked cardboard then woodchip/sawdust mix. They love hard woods.

Alright scissors, will do! There's gotta be close to 500 where I found them, alot looked dead to me though(black, gooey rotten looking). About when are they to old to pick? There's everything from nice new ones, rotten looking ones, ones that are fading from drying out a little I assume..and I know not to pick more than I need, leaving some for fellow hunters! also thanks loco for the info on how to keep them,I was wondering how I could possibly get some growing in my yard and that sounds like the way! Much appreciated!

This is the spore print I got. Looked tinted purple yesterday, was to tired to take a picture though. So when I woke up I took one, looks blacker now though? Still good? Also a picture of the others drying.

Judge your shrooms like you judge your produce, if you wouldn't buy it then don't bring it home to eat. Bacteria from rotted fruits are more dangerous than the shrooms. Spore purple/black  lay chips in your yard and follow this for cardboard tek http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/10742138#10742138

No dumb questions...only dumb, VERY DEAD, mushroom hunters. We are happy to help. BTW take the dosage calc with a grain of salt and some experimenting. I usually drop a half OZ of cubies(sometimes more)and am great(other than the sickness), dosed 3.5 gms of cyan/azzie mix the other night and WOW! Big friggen difference! No sickness and WOW is all I can say. Work up slow is my advice.

Does 1 gram sound ok for a first trip? I smoke about 2.5 grams of pot a day, I dab almost every day too. I don't know if that tolerance has any affect on the mushies? I'm going hunting again today in a different habitat, hoping to be as lucky as I was yesterday!

One gram should be good for your first time. I would also recommend not smoking a ton of pot your first time. Some people love the mixture, and some people hate it, but it definitely changes and intensifies the experience.

Could anyone post a pic of some dried cyans they have? A I'm drying mine in a wooden box, lined with paper and cracked open slightly, but I'm not sure when to throw them in a jar..can't explain how grateful I am for everyone's help!

If you use the search function you should be able to find quite a bit of info about drying and storing the goods. Lay them out in front of a fan for a couple days then put them in a desiccate/damprid chamber. Or get your hands on a food dehydrator, usually on a low/lowest setting.. You want them "cracker dry" before you put them in a jar. You should hear a "snap" when you break the stipe.
Congrats on the find.

I always pinch-pick them. Scissors are a good idea but a pain to have on you always. Pinching them carefully, as not to pull them out of the ground, has actually helped me in separating cyanescens from look-alike species. I now KNOW the consistency and texture to the touch and it's a valuable tool.

enclosing them, even a little is counter productive to drying.
you can enclose them in a container with desiccant, but you will either need a very large proportion of desiccant to mushrooms, or for the mushrooms to be almost completely dry before hand.
next time, consider spreading them out on newspaper, cardboard, etc in the open in an indoors area.

Counter productive? Actually it says on this site if you cant use a dehydrator/oven etc. To put them in a drawer lined with paper..I also don't use scissors, I pinch pick, the scissors thing was just me saying I won't pick the mycelium anymore. Well if I oped the lid of the box and just let them coninue drying they should be good yes? Alright cracker dry, thank you.

Fans are ideal. If you need it to be stealthy, I would recommend blowing a fan on them, preferable with a heater behind it, on them whenever the coast is clear for an hour or two. It will dry them much much faster.

Yes, counterproductive. You are deliberately putting them in conditions which inhibit drying, causing it to take longer than it should were you not to do so. If you can think of a better definition of counterproductive I'd love to hear it.

If you want a handy out of the way enclosed drying solution, you can build a little box with a computer case fan built into it very easily, and for almost no money. That approach will speed drying, despite being enclosed.

Still Cyans - these are little less dried.
Also 1 GR is the cracker dry weight they are suggesting you eat.
I would maybe do 1.3 g or so...to ensure you feel it :P

That'll do it, unless it's a heat only model with a pretty high heat output. Then you might need to hack it, like I had to do with mine back in the day.

if the air coming off the top feels hot, it's too hot. if it feels warm, it's probably ok.
if it's too hot, and it does not have a no-heat setting, then you can remove power from the element, but it requires a basic competence modifying mains voltage circuits. It's very easy, but not necessarily safe for one who doesn't comfortably understand basic electricity.

I can comfortably leave my hand directly ontop of the plastic and vent..what I've heard is 180 is when it starts getting too hot, is that right? If it was 180 I don't think I'd be comfortable feeling any of it so I feel like this should be ok? If they get to hot, is there any determining factor? Or does it just make them less potent?

Not to hijack, but I've been wondering about this too. I've got a pretty good dehydrator, an Excalibur. I've had it set to the minimum heat setting of 85F (29C). The air coming off the top definitely doesn't feel hot. Probably ok for drying out cyans?

the actives will degrade on what is called a time/temperature curve. For a given temperature, there will be a period of time before a given amount of the compound has degraded [less insulation factors, and plus exposure to enzymes probably present in the mushroom]. for the lower end of high temperatures, the time will be rather longer in a non-linear manner. unless you're getting very warm, in the neighborhood of quite hot, this time is probably quite longer than we like to pretend.

Same same. I set mine to about 110 to get them cracker dry for sure. Works like a charm. I love my Excalibur

I dry mine a bit hotter than 110.
115-120.
I did not notice any loss of potency when I had .75 grams last saturday and my walls were melting. Well, more of a undulating motion. 
Twas a great show.

lol. Good to know. I'll set mine a bit higher next time; that way they should dry faster.

I watched a video another member posted the other day, and it was really interesting. In short, it was about a study which concluded the either small acute doses or large chronic doses of psilocybin would cause an increase in brain cell production in the hippocampus. So, the most appropriate action now is to take small doses every every once in a while, if your intention is to become smarter, since it is not sustainable to medicate chronically with large doses.

That's interesting. I'd like to see the video. Any clues on how I could find it, e.g., what the thread was about?
I read a thread here about someone micro-dosing. Wasn't a very thorough record of the experience, though. And I don't think increasing brain cells was the motivation there ...

What I get out of this (and possibly a bit exaggerated) is that psilocybyin or other serotonin agonists can help us to learn things like seeing into the future or extrasensory perception, by changing the natural stability levels of serotonin, and by creating more rapid neurogenesis in the hippocampus and cerebellum

Yeah, thanks for that. Interesting video. I didn't get anything about seeing into the future or ESP in there, but it does look like low doses of psilocybin/psilocin can (at least) help people to learn things quicker.
The example was mice being conditioned to associate some kind of stimulus (a sound?) with a small shock on their feet a moment later. These mice soon learn to stand still right after they hear/receive the stimulus (I guess so they won't be scurrying around when the shock comes.) Then when you stop the stimulus-shock association the mice gradually learn that they don't have to stand still after hearing the stimulus. My understanding is that the low regular doses of psilocin help the mice to learn faster that they no longer have to stop after hearing the stimulus.
Sounds like they plan to (try to) do tests on cancer patients since they apparently lose this ability after chemotherapy. Pretty cool.

Yeah that is literally an example of what they studies. But I got more out of it...lol.
