Nice hauls Gilzman!
Today I found the biggest Pan Subbs in the most massive patches I have yet to come across... Just an absolute bonanza! I only snagged maybe 200 specimens and I say only, because there are literally thousands of them out there. Prepping some prints now and I'll post pics soon.
Edit: Read some older posts since I've been away and just learned of Lepkaun's passing. 
RIP Lepkaun

AND MORE RAIN IS COMING!!!!
Actually, i find the new subbs come out a couple days after the rain. Too much rain and watering on some spots makes them mushy and am now seeing eaten (snails) caps.

Amazing. It looks like that area is not frequently mowed? My best areas do not allow more than a weeks growth. So, most of the shrooms are smaller.

I think it's mowed once a week, but the field lies right next to a creek, so it is always wet. I think the water table there is close to the surface on half the field as it usually has standing water in areas. Add rain to the mix, which leads to a flooding creek, and I think it makes the perfect spot for them to grow. Also, most of the big ones are found in grass that has that clover/flower mix that bees love. Not sure if that has something to do with it, but that stuck out to me.

Hey there guys, I am really new to this, but I went out in my backyard today, Keystone Mountain and I found some shrooms. I was wondering if you guys might be able to identify them? I am hoping they are active.         
And then I am working on getting a spore print. I also found a couple other shrooms I just thought were cool and took a picture of. I found all these mushrooms up on Keystone mountain.
 The last one was growing out of horse poop.
In case i screwed up embedding them, here is a link to the album. http://imgur.com/a/sVVNP
EDIT: I did in fact 100% screw up the formatting. I also added 3 pictures to that album including a really quick spore print.
EDIT 2: so after lots of looking, and after seeing a brown spore print, I have come to the conclusion that at least half of these shrooms are Galerina Marginata, a poisonous shroom that when I finally saw the picture I went, "Yep, that one, that's it."

good observation. IDK if that makes any difference either, but clover is a legume and as such fixes N for the soil so it should be naturally more rich in patches of clover...much like adding manure to soil enriches it with nitrogen. nitrogen fixation by legumes
hmmmm
those are some sweet, meaty cincts!

That is true about the Nitrogen. In fact, Scotts and other fertilizer/pesticicide companies had a campaign against clover in lawns!
If the mushrooms are around clover, and the clover gets spores on it, it is possible for the bees to be a 'vector' that spreads spores to other clover filled areas!

That could be the case. There are soooo many bees out there on those clover/flowers. In fact, I had to watch EVERY step I took, just to not step on any. I had to be careful picking the specimens, as bees were just inches away from my hand. I had to move real slow because of the bees, but the slower I moved, the more mushrooms I would find. It almost felt like I had a symbiotic relationship with the bees, but it looks like the reality is... the mushrooms might actually have the symbiotic relationship with the bees.
The thought of that is too fucking cool!

I suppose its a one-way symbiotic thing. I guess the bees are just the groupies???
In any case, this heat has just made me wondering when I will see anything next. Sort of like single-person sex.

Yeah I guess it is a one way relationship, but I bet it wouldn't be too far fetched to think of ways that the bees might benefit from the mushrooms. Maybe they keep other bugs away or help with the growth of the flowers that the bees seem to love, who knows. It's cool either way.
Speaking of cool, I decided to sample some of my dried specimens. So I took 5-6 grams and I was very surprised of the effects. All I can say is wow, what an enjoyable night!
Now... just bring me some rain!!

It could actually be two way. The mushrooms might actually be fighting off Rhizoctonia Fungus which is a threat to clover. And the horses that eat the infected clover also (drooling disease). Just the fact that mushrooms will control the water levels in the area might help. The mushrooms are probably taxing into the N2 nodules from the clover.
I suppose if a horse grazes on a clover, and the clover has spores from the adjacent mushroom on it, the spores might get a free ride through the horse and land back on the ground in a big horse turd.
The bees must get spores back into the nest also. Other bees would maybe pick them up. So the bees are really spreading the spores within th range of the hive.
The heat is unreal. All my plants were wilted and I scrambled to water them.
And, yes, I always enjoy the effects.

Hello guys,  I just move to CO, and let me say that I LOVE this state, way better then CA and other countries worldwide.
I was living in Amsterdam since the last year but as many prohibitions as popped up and the langage is hard and gross as F... I move (for ex: no pot concentrates in fact they're ILLEGAL and considered as a HARD drug,, no more mushroom only Sclerotia (truffles); a lot of big Coffeshop were forced to close as they do not allow no more Coffeshops in the Main Streets. Anyway grown your owns were very easy! (Growkits and spores everywhere) Then I went to French Polynesia few months ago, where I was able to hunt some P.Cyanenscens even if they'were small and pretty hard to find out (take a look to my firsts threads) they're here. Then couple months ago i move to CA. very materialist, dense population and too much hot.. And as you can imaginate i was unable to find any active mushroom.
I'm now here in this amazing State and as I can see some active nature growth's can be founded. I'm near LakeWood, I know that's it's agains the rules to ask for specific spots and that's not what I'm looking for.
I was just wondering if it was possible to have some tips of how the spots should look like, I saw around the threads that is NOT worth to look in MANURE and that GRASS (subbs) or WOOD (gymnopilus species) should be my points of interest for hunt actives in fact anything that can help me out but that's not against the rules of the forum will be really appreciated.  I saw that guys from CO and in this thread who have had and actually have affective hunts in places where grass looks fresh and not treated or cuted recently; where a micro and general environnent looks healthy; after some rains (OF COURSE) and early in the morning and sometimes late in the night.
As I can see is the season now   But I figured out that today and yesterday were really hot:
My questions are: • Did I'm in a good place to hunt? • did is always hot like this pending the summer? • Should I wait for some more rain and cold before try my luck or I can try to hunt tonight/tomorrow morning?. • Did people are open mind with psychedelics in this State? (I mean if I'm hunting somewhere and someone see me, can I have easy troubles?). For ex: in French Polynesia I was able to hunt in horses pastures but the owners of the lands ask me to give and hunt for them some edible ones. • If I get hard time hunting. it's that easy to find a connec here in CO.?
And of course if it's possible and not against the rules, maybe zones where I can look, I mean, the East/West/North/South of Lakewood, near lakes and/or parks... Etc..
Thank you so much, and sorry for this long story

Right now, I don't even try since its 90s and dry. I would explore the public parks in your area. I know Lakewood has lots of parks and water running through it. It might be interesting to explore all along those little waterways.
I would not advise trespassing. In fact, trespassing with the intent to commit a crime, is a bigger charge than just trespassing. I would not ask a stranger to go on their property and tell them you want to collect shrooms.
I don't think that people here can advise on 'connects' or spots. Colorado might be a lenient state, pot is legal, but I know many people come here and get into trouble. Since you are a new guy to this site and state, just some advice...

Thank you so much for the advice i really appreciate it.
•Yes in fact you have a lot of Parks but the majority of them are pretty dry and no water around but we still have some parks with nice waterspots and great grass. •Ok thank you very much ! **In ,FPolynesia I talk to the owner of the land as it was just in front of a vehiculed street and I didn't want to get busted, so I tell him that I was studying shrooms as I was a passionate of mycology, so I ask if I was allowed to come in as his lands seems to be good for mush developement he let me on but did not allow me to approach the animals (corned cows; so no thanks) so the owner let me in but ask me to give to him the adibles ones I was able to found like chantrelle and agaricus sp. well for some Copelandia Cyanenscens and a completely peace of mind that was a deal.
•No in fact I'm not looking for a connec or spots (its obvious no body will give them to random people ), but in fact ive read and hear around that in Boulder you can find lucy & mushy easily down the street but I was wondering if in fact that was still true for nowadays.
Yes this weather is just killing me and all our friends

I've a question too, I know that Subbs did not grow in dung but is that possible that a land with ducks or/and goose and of course some waterspots near can be a nice place to look?
I've saw in some posts that the insect environemment can and probably help the development of shrooms, did those animals and their dung can be useful or harmful to the development of mushy's and the good health of the land?

My main location has been dry of mushrooms, but plenty on water. Must be too much water... But at my other location (for the first time this year) I found some! They are smaller, more hygrophanous, and have more cracking on the caps, but the bluing is intense in these specimens. I'll have pics up soon.
