It is forbidden to talk about the weather (hunting forum rule # 5), but since you broke the rule I am going to do it too.
The California weather blog has some very bleak news:

It would be a good idea to ask for a microscope for christmas, so you can still work on mushroom stuff. This one looks good:

I am working on being able to send out free stage micrometers to calibrate your scope, my plan is to find a small electronic component with known dimensions. If you want one, PM me.

i almost got that exact one for 45 bucks. (minus the computer hookup) then people caught wind of it and it sold for 130. still a steal but i couldnt afford that.

Agreed. I only starting hunting last season and was lucky enough to find a nice patch of Alleni's in 2012. I was extremely excited for this season to start.... I'm still waiting. I've spent countless lunch hours with my head down in irrigated areas and this patch of "unknowns" are all I have come up with. Can anyone identify these just so I know what they are? Congrats to those who have found some patches. You are obviously more experience than myself.

Looks like an epic patch of Armillaria.

Is there a Bay Area edibles thread for this season or is this thread going to double for that as well?
At any rate I haven't been finding anything, but am going to take matters into my own hands and grow my own.

The containers all have different mixtures of materials. Started with douglas fir chips colonized, with alot of debris, in march.

I also planted wildflower seed mixtures in most of the beds, and planted some lawn moss in one of them which the myc seems to really like.
When I eat them I look over at my , and im like 
I already have eaten 2 oz of these in the past month. I use 20 mg of melatonin every night to lower my tolerance to psilocybin and sometimes I add some chocolate beforehand so I dont waste as much shrooms. This way I have mindblowing trips every 3 days or so with like 4-10 grams depending on what I have to do the next day.
Interesting... Softwoods in the mix..... Redwood and doug fir.. I'd say try cutting a few things out... but it seems to be working pretty well! I love experiments like this!!

First time poster here! (Been lurking on and off for a while, but finally registered on the forums)
--> To build something cool. Something that I can look back on at the end of the year and be like "Well, at least I made N." I like to tinker with electronics, but making new stuff is still a big deal.

Nice, now if you would only stop trying to sell rotten ones to people.

Since when does Joust sell mushrooms, rotten or not? If you were talking about Shroomhunter510, I can not find any evidence that he sold anything bad or anything at all in his post history.
