P. Allenii in Sonoma County???
    #19110811 - 11/09/13 03:20 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Sorry for the shitty pictures, but I wasn't exactly hunting today (ain't that always the way you get the coolest finds?)

I was walking around a location in Sonoma county with lots of planters, just casually talking on the phone and glancing at the woodchips. Saw a non-active growing and decided to take a closer look just for the sake of education.

Behold to my surprise, something that looked quite familiar, but something that should not be here growing about a foot away from where I was squatted.

Looks like allenii to me. I'm still pretty new at this stuff and could be wrong, but damn it sure looks and smells right. I'm way far north in Sonoma for these, so would be a cool find. Plan on printing this evening buttttt...

EDIT: I'm seeing a slight bluing on the stem near the cap in the first picture but kinda subtle seems to show up about as well in the pic as I see it here. What's not coming out very clear is the radial grooves on the cap which I'm familiar with in other specimens. The grouping was pretty tight compared with what I've seen, and the myc seems much thicker than what I'm used to as well.

The allenii are fairly common in Sonoma area if you know where to look.  The cyans not so much.

Cool, thanks. Most of what I've heard is that southern Marin is the northern most place you'll find them. I'm pretty far north out here, almost to Mendo. I found a couple last year in my back yard further south, but I had been taking prints from a patch in Sacramento figured I might have been the vector for that unwittingly, but I'm pretty far from that location now.

I've done extensive searching in this exact location in the past with no luck.

And of course, here they are right when I am NOT looking for them much earlier than I usually find them in the bay area or Sacramento, and when it hasn't been raining at all.

I'll keep an eye on the patch. Lots of babies, and clearly nobody else even remotely aware if their existence.

Yes looks like P. allenii.

The most northernmost place that I am aware of for this species is Vancouver, Canada.

I have a friend who lives in Sonoma county that found several patches last year with some casual effort.  I have not personally looked around out there, but based on his finds I assume the area is good habitat.  Nice find. 

:cool:

I've personally found them around Coos Bay/Bandon. They get around.

Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it.
If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.

Well hey, I'm glad to know better now. Any idea how far north they go? How common are they in Mendo county?

I knew it wasn't impossible, obviously, but it's truly news to me that they're common up here. When I moved up here last year I looked quite a bit on these boards for reports of them in Marin and Sonoma and couldn't really find much.
