"what are you finding" "lol you aren't going to find anything here" "lol so do you only find trash?" "hey i head this guy lost a one ounce 10K gold ring right over there; you should look there"

The rains have begun in my area, having to run the heater a bit now as well. We only just moved here last year, and I scoured the woods for cyans. I really had no idea what I was doing, though I found *so many* amanitas. Guess I'll also be sticking to the public areas this time.
I read that cyans love alder bark, can anyone vouch for this?

Not so much the bark, but any type of hardwood mulch is great habitat, along with some types of conifer mulch. As long as it's not cedar, you have a good chance of finding them.
Best of luck and happy hunting

Stamets says he has rarely hunted under rhodies and not found psilocybes. My only cyan find was about ten feet from rhodies.

Psilocybe cyanofibrillosa is known for growing under rhodies, but is fairly rare. I'd like to give ole Paul a piece of my mind on the topic of cyanofibs. Someday...

Stuntzii will come out in grass first, then baeos and cyans, then pelliculosa and azures along with libs. For the most part, you wanna look for indicator species of fungi, such as Leratiomyces ceres, Hypholoma species, Psathyrella, and other wood loving species. If you are finding those species growing in mulch, you are on the right track to finding P. cyanescens.

Hey so you seem to know about the Stuntzii grass/mulch gap. I have a massive Stuntzii patch up north but it is all on mulch. The Rain ha sheen heavy and the temps have been in the mid 60s at day time and low 50s at night. I really don't feel like making a 40$ drive for nothing. Do you think it is a waste of time? I know this might break forum rules but....yeah. I didn't know that Stuntzii came out at 2 separate times.
Also I remember 7 or 8 years ago libs were out about this time in my patches, those are closer so I will be checking those soon. I remember scratching my head because everybody was saying it was way too early for libs.

     Species Found: Gymnopilus Luteofolius ~ Panaeolus Cinctulus ~ Psilocybe Baeocystis ~ Psilocybe Cyanescens ~ Psilocybe cyanofibrillosa ~ Psilocybe Semilanceata ~ Psilocybe Stuntzii

FryersQuest: In my experiences and encounters, stuntzii growing from mulch tend to come up later in the year. I normally find them in mulch starting around mid october, weather and case specific. This is just my personal observation.
@skagit hunter: your welcome. Just a general breakdown, as you can find many species throughout the fall. I give it two weeks tops before somebody posts blue ringers or cyans.

Nope. I'm sure many of us are chomping at the bit to hunt. Last 4 years I have pulled azure hunts on my b-day. Fuck cake

Oh well I am just going to keep my eyes on weather and keep looking. I checked my best lib patch today and had a revelation that I was getting way too excited.....way too soon. There was not a single mushroom around. Two weeks is where I am at with it as well.....weather of course being the main factor.

It truly is amazing.....I honestly find the hunt more enjoyable than the actual high. I trip only once in a while....maybe 3 times a year. I love doing them....but good god I love hunting more. It is like an epic scavenger hunt.....or quest. Hence....my name.
I am baked right now and getting a little crazy.....I just love this fucking season.

Those are some beautiful cyans in your sig my man. Any helpful tips you've found? I've searched for about 2-3 years and have only found one patch. Definitely taking the bike out this season and going all over
