Hunting tips for PNW
    #22166362 - 08/30/15 08:18 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

So I am a novice and have read all the field guides on erowid and on here and have familiarized myself with the types of actives that grow here. Mainly cyans, stuntzii and liberty caps.
Other than looking on fresh manicured lawns and wood chips what other advice do you have?
I have been looking and I have found multiple mushrooms but no actives! Any advice pertaining to the PNW particularly the tacoma area is welcome.

I have found cyans in wood chips where roses were growing and libs at the tops of hills near where herbivores grazed. That's a personal experience.

Thank you! So do cyans usually grow in wood chips that have a bigger host plant in them? And libs love animal pasteurs?

Habitat is were it.s at. Learn to recognize the habitats that what your looking for grow in. Not just wood chips but what kind and how are they used. Tip. pan cinc's are most likely what you will encounter this time of year. But, mushrooms have no calendar and no time card to punch. good luck and have fun.

Hey thank you! I truly appreciate it. I've also read that altitude can be a factor and which side of a field you're looking at! What's the best way to calculate your altitude?

So I know what woodchips are but where exactly would I find a pile suitable to host actives? Not asking for a specific address just a general idea of some places to look.
That information on cyans is a huge help! From what I've read I thought I knew exactly where to look got cyans.

Also....just a reminder....since we are freely giving information to you about where to find actives (and potentially making it more difficult for ourselves)....

1. DO NOT pull the mushroom out of the ground.
2. Cut the mushroom at the base of the stem with some scissors.
3. Leave pins (little baby mushrooms) alone and let them grow.
4. Don't over pick a patch.
5. Once you find a patch, watch your step!

I do a fair bit of hunting and one tip I would give would be-
Don't give up. I have spent many,many hunts thinking I won't find anything and sometimes you don't. Sometimes you do and it makes it all worth it.
Research can be an awesome ally as well. I scout places before I ever hunt, just to get a feel for a place. Pay a lot of attention to what else grows where you are hunting as these neighbor mushrooms can also lead to patches in other places.
Have fun too, it is a helluva hobby and I am glad I got into it.

Where close to tacoma are there cow pastures? Puyallup area? I haven't noticed any large farm areas around me yet.
I was hoping that there would be a few actives out now since the Temps dropped and we have been getting rain! I'm excited for this season! I've never tried cyans!

    #22171806 - 08/31/15 10:49 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Here's some good tips I've learned over the years:

-Walk anywhere and everywhere. Your best bet is to literally just go look. A bicycle can come in handy later when you already have found patches in a certain area but may be too fast for now.

-If you have a feeling like you found a good spot; check it, do not just forget about it. So many times I've been like "oh that would be a good spot" yet I never check until a year later and sure enough I usually find some.

-Don't pick around heavily public areas; or if you do, look casual. Hold your phone up to your ear and talk to your imaginary friend, whatever but don't be obvious please! <Many good reasons behind this.

-Use satellite imaging software. Biggest trick to the trade. Once you get good at knowing habitat locations, you can look up spots on satellite for good areas to check for when you're on the field.

Hints for P. semilanceata: Look near areas of cow/horse/sheep fields that are wet with puddles and have sedge grasses (<google that for a visual). Don't be afraid of the farmers, even if you trespass, they cannot just kill you. Although some are still crazy or might call the 5-0 so still be careful. Usually nobody picks these in my area, so its insane the amounts you can get!

Hints for P. cyanescens: Any extremely public areas that have rich like neighborhoods, includes churches, housing developments, colleges etc. These are usually found on the edges of forests with hardwood or a mix of woods. Habitat is almost spot on, so once you find a few patches you'll know where to look for the next ones. These mushrooms are sometimes found in very very public areas so be a bit stealthy or have something that makes you fit in like walking the dog or something, anything.

Not saying you'd do this but:
NEVER
-Litter
-Pull up mushrooms
-Be obviously picking in an extremely public area


Overall, just have fun because that's all that its about. Research your heart out and save some good spots down to check. They will find you eventually.

Good tips! I'm almost thinking about buying a bike for this particular reason. And whys it such a big deal if you're hunting mushrooms? Just stay pure studying mycology at a local university and you need to collect some specimens for class

illegal in a lot of parks.  you'd have to check with local, state, and sometimes federal ordinances to make sure you weren't breaking the law.

besides, i've never metal detected an open/common/park type area where other people are out and about without having someone come up and try to talk to me.

"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"

and so on and so forth, ad infinitum.

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:shroompick:

Are there certain types of plants that actives love to grow by or by that token any plants that they will absolutely not grow by? It's been raining here with low Temps for the past 3 or 4 days so hoping to find some soon!

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...:shrug:

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.:yesnod:

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.

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.

This is the only thing a man such as myself can ask for. What comes as the result is nothing short of the core of human existence, to truly live free in body and mind.

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

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.

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.

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.

Since the topic is up and thread is active now is my chance to steal some help i hope, i have the will/heart but just not the luck lol


i look and look in grass for stuntzii but i just cant seem to find them. i walk around miles and go to local parks/schools and check the fields and other grass parts and i also check everyones yard i pass that has lush green grass. its been a few years of doing this and i have never found a grass psilocybe(i am 100% confident i can id stuntzii/baeos/fibs) so i know i havnt been passing up any of those 3 species. I notice i see pan foes often as well as other shrooms but i am not sure what they are other then they dont look like anything active at all.

  i think i know what im doing and on right track, but i just cant grasp what to look for when it comes to grass type like stuntzii baeos and fibs. i am confident when i am looking for cyans because i already have seen the specific type of woodchips/setting they were in, i dont have this confident specific habitat in my mind for stuntzii and things.

is there any trick to the trade that i may be missing or you found really helped you have success with grass psilocybes?

Yeah dude....I have hunted for a few years and never found any psilocybes in grass other than Semilanceata and Strictipes. And those were found in pastures. I am sure I have walked by some Cincts thinking they were Foes but never really gave a shit about Cincts anyways (They were called Subbalteatus when I first started hunting.)

Each yard is different and some contain lignin I believe. That is where you would find Stuntzii in grass. They are wood lovers so in order for them to grow on grass there has to be lignin in the soil......I think?

I'm not mobile so I can't really get to where the libs are at, if I seen one it would catch my eye I'm sure but I mainly look in west Seattle,burien,white center. If you're not local these are areas on the puget sound just south of the city of seattle. There are no farm Lands anywhere near me

I have found cincts one time in a yard and they did not come back in the spring I will be watching this yard, I don't care about cincts much either but I like to find all I can and I seen a recent post of some amazing blue cincts so I have been keeping an eye out for them as well

Yeah that's the kind of tip I'm looking for, I need to find a way to eliminate lawns by them lacking something like lignin u say. I'll need to research that now. Any more leads like that is very important to me and will greatly help me out and anyone els who is having the same trouble as me.

So here is a question that should help tide me over (if answered) until the season starts really picking up. Stuntzii and Cincts are what I am after. Both are Saprotrophic (woodloving) fungi. It would be really cool if someone could give me a solid explanation on why these mushrooms can be found on the grass. I find Panaeolina foenisecii everywhere....it is the bane of my fucking existence. It too is saprotrophic. So am I to presume that Foes could and should be nearby Stuntzii and Cincts.... right? Each species is different of course....there has only been one or two active finds for PNW this season so it is entirely possible I am on the right track but Stuntzii by and large just hasn't seen the proper conditions in my area.

In my other seasons I had patience to wait until October and everything usually was fine....this year September is killing me....who has the plug for a time machine?

The only stuntziis i have found in grass were in cemeteries for some reason. As far as I have read stuntziis like dung and wood, and can grow in either. I personally have never found stuntziis in dung - although I dont hunt in that kind of habitat. I believe the stuntziis in grass, and cincts are there due to the fertilizer used by the landscapers in cerain areas, perhaps dung-based?

Think of grass as lil tiny trees, like bamboo really isn't wood it's just big grass. Same base materials being lignin and cellulose.

Also allot of lawns are planted over bulldozed land that was covered in sticks and wood and shit. All that it's still underneath.

And cow dung is really just saw dust too, grass with all the mammal nutrient stuff removed, is just lil pieces of wood.

Not really a hunting tip....but I was curious to know if anybody uses a food dehydrator? If so....what do you recommend.

It's well worth the price for something that will last forever.


This is the one that we own, we dry a lot of fruit and stuff in it though.

a Presto dehydrator like this is what I use, and I see alot of other members with the same one. it was like 30$ at walmart. Keep your eyes open for them in thrift shops for super cheap.

The main problem with these kinds of dehydrators is that the heating element and fan on are on bottom of the unit, so when you put things in there that have liquid in them it drips down onto said element/fan and causes a sticky uncleanable mess which will burn over time causing thing to taste burnt.

I've read that you can also use an oven on the lowest temperature with the door opened a crack but I don't know if I trust this method not to burn food or mushrooms.

I only use mine for mushrooms. I doubt they are wet enough for spillage to leak into its internals; maybe if I was making jerky that was marinading. I would assume that any water content in mushrooms would evaporate into the air during drying, not run into the system. Not saying you're wrong or anything. I've had mine for 2 years and use it all year round and its still going smooth. Maybe when it dies out, I will look into other designs then.

Be careful with oven drying too, I have done it a few times and ended up with mushroom soup back in the day and ruined a couple huge hauls of cyans completely. Before I had a dehydrator Id just put my mushrooms in a shoe box (or 2 or 3) with a fan on top pointing straight down on em for a couple days and I'd get cracker dry.

Also....just a reminder....since we are freely giving information to you about where to find actives (and potentially making it more difficult for ourselves)....

1. DO NOT pull the mushroom out of the ground.
2. Cut the mushroom at the base of the stem with some scissors.
3. Leave pins (little baby mushrooms) alone and let them grow.
4. Don't over pick a patch.
5. Once you find a patch, watch your step!





this should be sticked. Very important advice all should follow.

the best advice is persistence. Keep searching random, human-based areas. Woodlovers tend to grow near man-made areas.

Look then look again somewhere else. Youre bound to discover something beautiful :mindblown:

Do not tell anyone where mushrooms patches are, they might not fuck over the patch themselves but someone else that they tell is bound to eventually.

We also use ours to make dehydrated fruit like apples and peaches and even with a rear heating element it still makes huge fucking mess.
Mushrooms would probably be okay, sometimes Boletes get a little waterlogged :shrug:

definitely.

Keep your patch or patches a secret!

Others may just totally destroy it.

Keep the location to yourself, if they find it by themselves, it just part of the hunt.

Yes indeed....as hard as it is to not tell somebody where patches are....it is almost always a bad thing. SkagitHunter showed me some of his Cinct spots but he knows that I share the same passion for hunting and can be trusted.

Anyways...about the food dehydrator....I think if a 30$ one works well then that is what I will do. Sorry Maynard :P 250$ is a little pricey. Sidenote...I never have gotten "cracker dry" from air drying with a fan. I get them really dry, dry enough that I had a bag of Stuntzii for a year and there were no mold problems or anything like that. But they still have some bend to them. I don't think I like the term "cracker dry" because I am trying to think of a time where I had mushrooms that were actually as dry as crackers.

I'm pretty sure I'd be classified as cracker dry.

Also, I'm going to be in Port Angeles on Sunday. I'm excited to hunt an area that I know has been getting rain.

I took the fan off my Dehydrator and just have one running in the room. At the end of the season I get a pan full of spores at the bottom this way. Then i put my hands on the pan before i leave the house and dream of far off places my spores end up from my touch through out the day. Corny. I Know.

beauty bark? Maybe if it was put on to an established spot. I've never see beauty bark in the right urban environment.around hear its used primarily at apt complexes and such. I really don't have any experience with beauty bark because i avoid those places. If i remember right Alan mentioned that  crazy red shit they landscape jack in the box with is good. I have made most finds when it comes to cyans in native on site shredded restoration stuff.
