Psilocybe Caerulipes 2016

First Bluefoot of the year! A week or two earlier than normal.
Hopefully it means we will have a long season up in the mountains of the northeastern US.
I will be adding more finds to this thread as I continue to hunt. If you guys have some Caerulipes feel free to add them here too!

has this mushroom been found at low elevations? I am guessing yes since it has been reported to occur in NJ and the highest point in NJ is only like 1000 feet

Great find mate! I have a feeling it's going to be a great season for them too. I can't wait to get to my spot and go hunting for these elusive fellas myself. Hope to see many more posts from everyone in the northeast. Good luck!

Can you tell us the temperatures you've been having?? Trying to get a better feel for when they actually start popping. You always seem to find them first D_T and I feel I've been hunting past their peak, maybe I should be hunting already too.. I'm 10 hours away from my Appalachian home, but im coming back specifically for this season. Fiance thinks im nuts, but I live for this shit
PS yes I know im a noob but I've been stalking around here for years, don't give me too much shit A lot of you I look up to

I'm also interested in temperatures and recent rain activity...sort of what initiates them to fruit?

Thanks guys! I was kind of surprised to find one this early. I'm guessing the hot weather in spring and early summer helped them move along. Also, this was found near one of the best patches I have discovered in the past few seasons (check last years thread.) So I know the myc is pretty strong and healthy in this spot. On most of the natural logs I have come across they only fruit for a couple years, but these locally produced woodchips have been replenished and refreshed a few times over the past 8 years.
Temperature wise, they prefer a high around 80F (even better is high 70's) with lows in the upper 50's or lower 60's just before sunrise. Moisture is the most important key. They take a couple days to fruit. We have been lucky the past few weeks because most of the storms that roll through have happened during the evening and/or night time which keeps the humidity high until well after sunrise.
Also, these guys are TINY!!! Very easy to walk past and are usually found near lots of other little brown mushrooms (LBM's) so they are hard to spot. The only reason I saw this one is because I stopped to look at a different flush nearby:
Just keep searching through decomposing beech logs and litter during August and you will get better at finding the right habitats that could potentially fruit a bluefoot!

Out of curiosity, how does the potency of Caerulipes compare to Cubensis?

A few more pins popped up in my patch today.
These tiny guys will take a few days to get to full size.

Same, maybe a tad bit stronger when fresh (P.Caerulipes) there should be a thread somewhere i remember seeing a post with some one testing them
-------------------- I give you the choice of 2 pills. With each containing one of the following: Cyanide... Psilocin... Would you take the risk? Didn't think so. This is why Positive Identification prior to consumption is important.

D_T. - THANKS 4 THE ADVICE ON CHECKING 2015 THREAD! I read it & prev. threads but a refresher was needed.
I'm still confused on the season? Past threads talk about the seasons being mostly short (starting in August, ending around October) BUT the ID listing says June - Dec. or after the Ovoid season. I know that it all depends on the right weather conditions (rain & temps 80's night 50's) as well as hunting locations.
Which brings me to my next ? Our temps have been way up 90's + humidity = feels like a 100 - same conditions next wk. w/ rain every cpl days. Is it to HOT in my area then? Do I have 2 wait for cooler temps? August around here is usually our worst 4 high temps & dry conditions.
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks

Their season length will depend on location. In my area (cooler mountains in northern New England) the season is earlier, starts in July and ends at the end of August. Some places it starts later and will last until the beginning of October. Temperatures do make a difference. I haven't seen them fruit during high summer heat. Highs around 85 F are the warmest they prefer.
Here is today's picture of the same pins from above:
And these were found nearby, notice the coloring around the one in the lower right:
And a couple more mature fruits:

D.T. with the opener two days after i called 'em!
VA Hunter. When the mountains start to sweat from cold rains, cover ground. Hard to determine season until we see some nightly temp drops and cooling precipitation.
