Febuary 1st's Great Shroom Adventure: FLA (Pics!)
    #2291458 -

Hey Shroomers,

Well i have to say, this morning was a most beautiful time to be amoungst the Shrooms and amoungst the cow manure piles from which they grow from.

And luckily i brought along the digital, to document the experience, and to share with everyone here the day the Shroom Gods shined upon me many Shrooms for the eyes to see and plenty enough to pick and collect and print and eat.

Onward with my journey of the Shrooms.

First I came across a couple of the omni-potent Copelandia mushrooms;

Copelandia cyanescens



Next i was happy to find a nice cluster of Pan subbs;

Panaeolus subbalteatus



And now i have reached my upload limit for the day.

All-in-all i collected about 8 Copelandia cyanescens,
And about 2 pounds of the Pan subbs.

The entire field was literally littered with subbs.. they were everywhere, i've never seen anything like it before (not with Pan subb's at least). I picked a couple pounds and left at least several other pounds of fresh subbs never to be picked. They were just everywhere, it was dizzying to see so many subbs.

No Cubensis were found but i'm sure that there are a few out there here-and-there.

Only about 8 Copelandia's,

The Subbalteatus took the center stage and i couldn't walk an-inche without stepping on them as the pasture was simply just covered with them.

Ok another image was successfully uploaded;

Panaeolus subbalteatus

Very nice GreatOne! So I am assuming from your post that the subbs were found in a farmer's cow field as opposed to a horse field? I was under the impression that they only grow (or mostly anyway) in horse poo, so it would make more sense if such a large fruiting was in a horse field. Anyway, a GreatFind for GreatOne ;-)

Btw did you go at night?

Hey folks thanks for the replies!~

The day before i collected these I was telling a friend about how i never find any more than just 1 or 2 subbs at a time, then the next day i decide to have a look in the field and Boom, the field just went KaBoom with the subbies!~

Hehehe, it was a trip. And i collected them in broad daylight, at a safe pasture of which i basically have permission to be on :grin: well not really, but i'd sure like it to be that way.  :devil:

Anyways, this is a  cow pasture i have frequented most-often for years now, during all months of the year, and i've never witnessed anymore than just one or two occassional subb's throughout the entire field. And the same goes for all the other fields i've frequented.

I am positive, there are zero horses on this land..
-The subbs were in fact found on decomposing cow manure, but they were found also just in the grass, it was as if the large portions of the grassy pasture had been colonized by pan subb mycelium (though the mycelium was not visible) the fruits were scattered everywhere, it was nuts... thousands of them, too many to pick
-Only about 8 Copelandia mushrooms, nothing was growing underneath the trees in the shade, everything was in the open field underneath the sun.
-No Cubensis mushrooms, but i suspect they are out there, probably in other pastures.

90% of the subbs i saw were not growing directly from cow-patties, but instead growing from the manured-enriched ground, in well-trimmed grass (courtesy of the cows munching away at it to make a perfect surface for finding shrooms on).

Thanks for the compliments everyone

This species seems to not have ever been recorded to grow here in Fla, so i might send sum in along with a spore-print to possibly guzman or gartz(?) to have a look at.

Oh and i was very-tempted last night to do a bioassay; I weighed out 2 ounces of the fresh shrooms but i was just too tired to trip last night,
-I figure that once the subbs are dried their potency is very low, and they basically need to be eaten fresh, we'll see..

The weather has been really nice for shrooms lately, i bet the field has twice as many shrooms growing from it now than it did the other day. And probably even more rain and humidity could be on the way for us.

Keep shroomin,
GG

Also, today i was out hunting for some of the mystery lawn-Pan-shrooms, with no luck; but i did find some interesting Agrocybes.
Also, today i was poking around several beds of woodchips, looking for Gymno's, with no luck yet on those either.

Soon though, early/early spring is in the air, almost too early it seems, i've been spotting alot of Columned Stinkhorns popping up along the way, usually a sign of spring.

Keep shroomin,
GG

So did you try a bioassay on the subbs yet GG? I'd be very interested to read about how they were when they were dry (in terms of potency), as well as your subjective differences between them and cubes.

Thanks.

Thanks for the bump Nomad  :heartpump:

Megaman, yeah i did a bioassay a couple nights ago and it was good.

I took roughly a quarter ounce of dried subbs, and had a nice time.
-I'm sure it would have been much better if i ate them fresh though.

It was a nice trip.

Thanks GGreatOne. Would you mind describing the trip a little bit? I'm especially interested in your opinion of how a subb trip differs from a cube trip, if it does. Btw you ate the shrooms or you made tea? And approximately for how long were they dry before you took them?

Thank ya.

WOW! I live in Florida as well, and I am new to mushrooms (never tried them yet), and I keep asking people if I can get some and they say I have to wait for spring. So I could go out and find some now? I live on the east coast, does that make a big difference? What kinds should I look for over here? I love your post! thanks.

bongoboy, just a word of warning not to let your enthusiasm get in the way of due caution. Make sure that you get the mushrooms properly identified and don't eat any of them unless you got them identified 100%, even if they look magic. Even a small bite of a deadly poisonous one can spell trouble. I know you're anxious to try them but don't let that get in the way of good judgement. Learn what types will kill you, and take it slow. Even if it takes a few seasons to find the correct ones, it's better than ingesting a deadly one.
Finding the right ones and learning to properly identify them takes patience, but it's worth it.

megaman, thanks for the advice. I do appreciate the warning! I'm a pretty cautious person when it comes to eating things that dont come from Publix, lol. I will probably take along someone who is skilled in collecting them when I go the first few times. Oh and Joe M$$, in Florida (I believe it's still the case) Possesion of fresh mushrooms is not illegal in Florida! go figure..

-Megaman, Subbalteatus tend to be a  weaker trip, but the trip is  speedier than Copelandia & Psilocybe.. It was a colorful and comfortable experience. 'Though, i do like to eat the lawn-Pan's much better (aka Panaeolus ggreatoneifolius :smile:).
--The shrooms were so small and also small pieces of sand were in the collection, so i ground the 1/4-ounce in a coffee grinder, and filled the powder into 12 gel-caps and ate one gel-cap a minute until they were gone, and i used a Reshi-tea to gulp them all down with. Normally i don't make any special preperations (like gel-caps) to eat shrooms, but i made an exception for the subbs because they were such small shrooms and i didn't want to chew on any sand..
---The mushrooms were dried for about 1 week before the bioassay. I'm sure that they would have been more than double the potency if eaten when fresh.

-Um, well, fresh (psychoactive) mushrooms are not  "illegal" to have (in small amounts) in Florida. BUt-. Just because they aren't illegal, doesn't mean that if a  "copper" catches you with a bag of fresh-shrooms that you won't be taking a ride to the jail-house for having them!
-The coppers can take you in for the mushrooms, but they can't charge you for possession of Shrooms. They can however charge you for a myriad of other laws of which police will always have a way to arrest you for one-thing-or-another; "trespassing on private property" or "trespassing on a construction site" are two bigguns that will get you into some serious trouble..

And also, 'probably the worst idea (if a copper is questioning you for shroom-picking) is to tell him that "Shrooms aren't illegal in florida.". Because they are coppers and they will just laugh at you and probably take you to jail for something else just because you were attempting to interperate the laws with somebody who is-the-law.

They're edible mushrooms. Meadow Mushrooms.
-is what you should say, and stick to your story or else your chances of the copper taking you in for shroom-picking will be dramatically increased.

So, they aren't illegal, but they are trouble in the eyes of a copp.

Keep on shroomin,
GG

Interesting GGreatOne, weaker and yet speedier. I'm assuming that by weaker you mean that there are less visuals and psychedelic feelings? Is it more like being drunk and stimulated simultaneously rather than a true psychedelic experience? Since they're speedy, I wonder if taking a larger dose would become uncomfortable, even if you might increase their psychedelic qualities. Too much stimulation is not comfortable, especially when mixed with psychedelic feelings, as this can lead to paranoia.

megaman3:

-When i said weaker i meant, less-potent..
-When i said speedy i meant, more-energized..
-Subbs are a smooth shroom-trip though..

The actual collection of the subbs wasn't as exciting as collecting Copelandia's or Cubensis..
-Collecting Copes and Cubes is a blast compared to subbs :lol:

It was exciting to pick the subbs, but they are real small and they were scattered all over the place (in the grass and not many growing directly from dung, but some of the larger specimens were growing directly from dung), it was dizzying and i didn't even take the time to pick more because i wanted to find some cubes or copelandia too. ( :smile: I started breaking a sweat out there with the subbies!)
-Copelandia's grow from the dung, and (Whew) can they, be, Potent!~ :grin:

Especially during the summer-time (the Copelandia), i've found some  extremely potent Copelandia mushrooms in the summer. In the summer when there are thousands upon thousands of Copes and Cubes to pick (too many to pick them all), the majority of the shrooms tend to have bugs in them, but some of the fresher Copelandia are just, so, so, potent..
-Especially the fresher and baby Copes, the really potent ones (from my experience) exhibit very shiny-Silver stems, and the silver kind of grows in a swirly fashion up the stem.. some are so extremely potent that you can eat just one or two little Copelandia like this, and the taste is so, so, potent.. Mff, i try not to eat Copelandia's anymore, i prefer Cubensis, but always end up getting into those blue meanies because they are just too fun to collect while out there..

Keep shroomin,
GG

Some Copelandia mushrooms are seriously jaw-droppingly potent, especially during the summer-time.

Keep shroomin,
GG

Hey GG, Feb 1st was my birthday (42 YO :tongue: ), so those were suppose to be my mushrooms  :grin:. hehehehe.......
So now you're finding subbs. Damn ! ! ! ! !

The GGreatOne could find magic shrooms on the moon if he tried hard enough.

Good find and great pics (as always) GG :thumbup: You never cease to amaze me, or make me a little jealous :wink:
