Yep, I've researched the active mushrooms in my area, no luck finding any so far. But also, I know what's on the list of active shrooms arent the only active shrooms down here. I'm new to the whole mushrooms hunting thing (as you could probably tell) and I'm hoping to get lucky. I'm just looking to trip haha

ya, your gyms are going to be much meatier in general. like BIG in relative terms. they can appear to be growing from the ground but they'll be coming off of buried roots or wood. thats in the woods.
you could probably run across a bluing pluteus if you're lucky and pick every pluteus you encounter and see. also in woods. also on wood.
cincts you wont find in the woods, i don't believe, unless its a grassy woods (which does happen)
really look at the pics that Joust has posted in his tutorial/pictorial - its a bang-up job last i looked. really look at the stems/stipe and its shape and thickness relative to the cap with regard to gyms there... and the gills, and how they look. and prints. seems to me, gyms are bloody messy. if you can't get an orange mess (of actual spores, not decomposing juice) on your paper, its probably not a gym. and they smell.
so, if you're missing one of those characteristics, take another gander at it being something else, and learn what it is while you're at it if you can. folks here are very helpful if you want to learn. but eventually get less so if you're just posting random shiite and goin' huh! dis gonna get me hi??

Thanks for the info! Very helpful! With your advice, i just decided to google bluing pluteus and could have sworn I saw somthing that looked just like that. No kidding. Guess I'll go out tomorrow morning to try to find it again.
Also I can understand your frustration with my inexperienced questions. I run a forum and have to deal with questions like that all the time haha.
Well, thanks for the help man! I'll keep you posted if that shroom is bluing pluteus or not (probably not, but it doesn't hurt to check).

no worries, no frustration. most of us have been there, more questions than answers, more enthusiasm and hope than luck finding anything for quite awhile in the wild.
another analogy i came up with recently is its sorta like being in the outfield in baseball. its all about paying attention and timing. you can be the best fielder but if you're not paying attention at the right TIME and PLACE then you may as well stand out there with your thumb up your ass.
same goes for the other side of the skill. you can be watching every pitch like a motherfucker and when you hear the crack of the bat and it comes your way, you're wandering around in the infield looking at it sail over your head. no amount of running around is going to save you now. you're prepared but in the wrong damn place.
i haven't seen a foe in weeks despite the all rain so i'm not expecting to find cincts right now either. that kinda thing.
midwest season is just gearing up imo. its the calm before ... well, before i feed too many mosquitos.
