I am getting super-excited for this season! I usually hunt during seasons and neglect cultivation a bit and cult during hot summer and cold winter.. I have been finding an ass-load of Pan cincts for the last couple weeks, so that is kind of like a huniting-buffer between seasons.

That is good to hear. I attempted at starting a patch last year by transferring pre colonized chips into a pot at my house. Checked the other day and to my surprise, found some mycelium rocking..not much but hopefully this rain will help it expand. That being said, I already have quite a few spots I want to check this year, other than the ones I already know of that produce pretty well. Can't wait for this season to start raging!

My advice, and I am sure most people's advice would be to know what kind of mulch to look at. But fuck all that dude....if there is farm land around you....either trespass OR look official and clean cut and go up to a farmer's house and ask if you can do a mycological study for a biology class you have. I have all sorts of WSU gear because that is where I go to school so that helps me.
But liberty caps are significantly more potent than Stuntzii or Cyans....and the farm land is where you will find them.
Also one more tip is make sure you study the other types of actives in the PNW. I am willing to bet that you have walked by actives and not known it. Cyans are easy to identify but there are many others that aren't.

Umm libs being stronger than cyans sounds kind of strange to me. I've never had anything close to a cyan trip on other varieties and I picked both Baeos and stunzii's last year. Libs are good, don't get me wrong but for potency cyans and azures are the way to go.

Yah cyan and azzie are way to go if you don't wanna stomach full of mushy and hella wet feet. oh and not having the constant feeling someone is gonna bust you in the middle of a field.
Take a walk in a water front park you'll find at least one of the two just about everywhere that landscapes with mulch.
Libs are hella potent but you gotta find and eat lots and sometimes it's a long wet day before you get some. Cyans and azzies when you do find em you'll always find enough to get off.
One azzie I found once got me lost on a dead end road near my house I've been on a million times.

i hope i can try azures some day but god damn if they're stronger than cyans then i have some preparing to do

2 grams of cyans had me in a full hallucinatory world i heard from stametes that one large azurescens cap is enough for three people to trip off of

Yeah but my understanding is that Azzies are only in a very small location. Have you heard of any of them being found on the coast of the GREATER Seattle area?
And I honestly never really cared about how wet or messy I got when picking libs....hunting is awesome and I usually am too excited to care.

I'll tell yah that there are azzies in the Puget sound shoreline. Go look everywhere you find cyans near the water in mulch just deeper out in the grass.

So let's just say there is a spot a few miles from the shore line......and there are cyans....it is possible azzies might be there too? Or do they have to be extremely close to the shoreline? I know almost nothing about Azurescens so pardon the questions.

Seems to me, they like salty Sandy windy grass and occasionally venture inland to parks and yard chip beds. And if your lucky enough to have a lil Alder grove near a river near salt water, they've been known to pop up. Not saying they can't go that far but I wouldn't bet on it.
If you do happen to find em though do your due diligence to help em migrate inland!

I think I'm most excited for azurescens this year. Pffff! Who am I kidding? I jumped for joy when I found all those Pan Subbs this summer. I'm just happy the fungus is among us.
I don't think all the hours of looking in vain for azures out of their region is a suitable trade off for just driving a few hours to the coast.

Well said!
Doesn't matter what shape or form go find some mushrooms!
Most important thing of all, when you find something good, post pics!

Yay for mycelium in many of my spots but no pins are pushing up yet. Saw a lot of Cordyceps(I think) and a bunch of psathyrella but not much else yet. Bring on the rain Mother Nature, I'm hungry for more hunting.

Gonna try to check some spots I think will produce some nice actives! Hopefully I'll see some pins or mycelium. I'm excited for my first season. You guys have been a great help!!
