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!

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

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!

Monday morning blues:

The patch almost dried out this week. So I watered it a few days in a row and got some good coloring on the few that are left.
Cold and rainy all day today, looking forward to hunting this week!

I wanted to pop into this thread because I'm fairly sure I found a handful of these a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately, they got pretty beat up in my bag after hiking for the rest of the day so I didn't bother to properly ID them.
I had found them in mountain forest along a stream washout where there was a lot of wood washout from the stream flooding. There are a lot of beech trees in the area, as well as other mixed hardwoods. I'm going to keep my eye out this week while hunting.
-------------------- I'd like to think I'm smart enough to realize how much knowledge I don't have.

I havent had a chance to get out, figured I missed a lot but I guess only DT has found them? Thats weird but it has been crazy hot and dry. Anyway I did get out for a little. A couple of these were on top of a 3400 ft ridge of virgin growth Northern Hardwood forest, wish I could have explored it more but I was soaked and freezing, low 40's up there the wind made it feel like the 30's. But just goes to show they can really be found anywhere. Good Luck everyone!.... Badass spider

Awesome pictures, as always Roy! Thanks for sharing.
The season here has been on and off, not a lot of rain this August, but not very hot here either.
Some rainy bruised ones from last week:

And a few more from today:

Best flush so far this season:

Biggest fruit (golf ball sized):

Most of these are from my woodchip patch. I'm trying to get my logger to make me some fresh chips from just beech wood so I can sprinkle some new chips in to help the patch stay established over the next few seasons.
Already spotted a few yellow leaves on the tips of trees today so autumn is approaching and my season for hunting is growing short up here.

Nice DT! Im always amazed how stocky they seem to be up there and nice clusters too. I mostly find individuals.
I have not tried cloning or growing them in anyway, but I have been sending multiple spore prints out every year, I know a couple people got some mycelium growth but I dont think anyone has successfully grew any fruits yet. They seem to be very difficult to grow.

Found some in the Muskokas in Ontario! Last time I found some was in Nova Scotia. Again they are in a forest with beech. Some on leaf litter, some on rotting wood. Found about 25 total.

Nice finds mead! (Been a while) glad to see your still finding them!
Cool stuff Roger! I think Nobeggining would be interested in your find, as he is another brother from the north.
25 would probably be about a gram dried and would give you a mild trip, but depends on the size as they vary quite a bit.
Good luck everyone!

Hmmm, can you get your hands on any alder? As they are closely related to birch and decay just as fast. The speed of decay amongst the woods seems to be what they like. Birch and beech are amongst the fastest decayers, followed by maple, though cherry decays fast and i have never seen them on that. So who knows. Anyway that was a little off topic, as of now I have found them growing from beech, yellow birch, black birch, sugar maple and big tooth aspen. All fast decayers. So i would say red and black maple should be a good choice and aspen is a poplar so you can try that. Though im not sure what you are calling poplar, the common lumber called poplar is the tulip tree and they are some of the largest trees here in the east but not a true poplar like cottonwood or your aspens. Anyway hope that helped, I would be curious if you get any growth. Good luck!

Yea those cherries love them the sun. But they are common forest trees up here in the mountains. Most of our mountain tops have choke, pin and black cherries growing as shrubs and are pretty dominant outside of the spruce and fir parts. While Black cherry is commonly scattered over the drier parts of the northern hardwood as a canopy tree. Hornbeam would be a good choice also closely related to birch, while i have checked every decaying hornbeam and have not found any caerulipes yet it isnt all that common where i search and it does seem like a good wood for them.

Found one with a mutated cap. Had to take pictures:

A few trees are already changing color with yellow leaves, our season is coming to a close up here.

Always impressed with all of your photos guys, keep 'em coming! 
I'm hoping to get out and find some soon. The season seems to usually start later in my neck of the woods though.
And Roy, do you have any tips on identifying decaying logs? I know the difference between a rotting hardwood and softwood but when it comes down to identifying hardwoods I am a little lost especially when the bark is completely rotted away. I feel like I can recognize a rotting beech log but I'm never completely confident that it is beech or something similar.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Nice DT that is weird!
Without the bark would be pretty darn hard, but there will usually be bark of some kind left as it decays much slower than the wood itself. Especially the birches as the bark holds in the moisture and speeds up decay. I would say the best way is to just understand the forest your in, look at the living trees and identify them. Then look at their stature and form and how they grow in that forest and compare the fallen trees to the living. But your best bet is to find the stump where the tree fell or the tree where a branch has fallen and identify it that way, hopefully there will be some bark. The forests i am usually in consist of only yellow birch, american beech and sugar maple, and since the barks are all different it makes it relatively easy. As you start recognizing the dead wood and attributing it to a certain species you will start to recognize them better. But there will always be the mystery logs with no identifiable bark. As a side note, up here in the north east anyway, the beech trees are being wiped out by a bark disease and i mean WIPED out. Just about every beech tree has it and is being killed off, even young trees. Its not mentioned much or brought to anyones attention like the elm, chestnut, ash and butternut diseases but it is really bad. Eventually the beech will go the way of the chestnut and be found only as saplings in the understory. That being said there is a TON of decaying beech trees. Start looking for it and you will see what I mean, Im sure a lot of you have already witnessed it, The bark wont be smooth grey like a beech should it will be cracked and broken with black fissures throughout it which will usually give way to various other parasitic fungi like Armillaria. Anyway hope that helped, study the trees!

Lets hope it never reaches there but i fear its only a matter of time. Im always amazed how unbelievable successful/destructive/abundant the armillarias are, 90% is probably being generous on your part it seems like 100% of trees as they literally blanket the floor, but it makes sense, weak trees just succumb to it to make way for another tree and unfortunately too many invasive beetles have been opening up the door for the armillaria.

In northern NJ I have seen quite a few healthy beech trees including small, midsize, and large to very large trees. I have also seen the black Armillaria rhizomorphs left behind in well decayed beech wood on occasion.

Yes there are some really nice stands of healthy Beech forests in Northern NJ. There are other parts that have been hit hard by the disease. But not all the seemingly healthy trees are. It also seems to be more prevalent in areas with high concentration of beech trees as apposed to scattered individuals. And as stevo said has yet to affect the south, but is found in the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia and North Carolina. In the 50's and 60's even after the disease was here in central NY Beech composed of 40-50% of the forest density, now it is down to 15% at best and most of those are dying, while the abundance of Sugar Maple sky rocketed. Beech falls, replaced by Sugar Maple, which now makes them the most common tree here as apposed to Beech as it was years ago. Anyway I could talk about trees for hours, days even, as they are my life but we are getting off topic. Rain in the forecast so hopefully i will get out this weekend, days are running short. Good luck everyone!

Good stuff as always Roy.
I went out today and it was really sad seeing that most of the dying trees were mostly beech. I never knew that beech trees were getting hit this hard. I know caerulipes can proliferate among other hardwood types but beech seems to be the most prominent; it's a bittersweet realization knowing that caerulipes will have plenty of habitat and also the fact that there may not be much beech around in later years for them to propagate.
On my walk today, I did happen to see a lot of beech saplings as well as some larger adult beech trees that seemed particularly healthy. But they were few and far between.
So what is the deal with this Amarilla fungus; it seems like (from that paper you linked) this Amarilla fungus is taking advantage of an already necrotized tree due to fungal pathogens and beech bark insect scale. I don't know much about these species but are any of these invasive to the area? Of the dying trees that I have seen, some seem to be fairly aged (thick and tall). So I would assume either the Amarilla mushrooms, fungal pathogens or insect scale have been newly introduced among the northeast within the past 50 years or so?
Sorry to veer this thread off topic but this is such an intriguing topic. Maybe caerulipes is trying to tell us to save the beeches!

Good observations Tak! The Beech saplings are and will remain abundant as Beech has large seed crops and germinate easily. Anyone who bushwhacks off trail will tell you how annoying and even dangerous the saplings are as they whip you in the face and poke you in the eye with their sharp terminal buds.
The Armillaria are by no means invasive they are just everywhere and probably the most successful mushrooms on the planet. But yes they do take advantage of the weakened trees caused by diseases. The bad diseases on the other-hand are always invasive. Beech bark disease and the scale insects that go along with it came from Europe on shipping routs into NY from Canada and the Hudson Bay, this was back in the 1890's and early 1900's. So NY has taken the brunt of it. Armillaria infection and even the bark disease dont necessarily mean a death sentence for the tree, some can manage to survive for a long time with it, while others die within the year. All depends on severity and if the Armillaria or any disease girdle the roots or trunk which would be instant death. Since its been here over 100 years you can say its slow moving when compared to the Chestnut blight and Dutch Elm Disease.

Its been extremely dry around these parts, dry enough for forest fires, and a ban on entering the forest, so I haven't been out hiking or mushroom hunting this year. I did check out a nice chanterelle spot last weekend, with little expectations of a nice harvest.
I did find a nice pile, enough for a nice meal at the campfire, as well as some chicken of the woods. But more importantly, I found 6 Psilocybe caerulipes. I had only ever found 3 each year, for the past two years, but I wasn't expecting to find any this time around. Anyways, here are some shots of them.

Atta boy rope I think you likely find the eastern most blue feet. Did you ever find more of those mushrooms similar to baeos? Did you get them sequenced? If not you should! Cheers brah

Hey Mr. Wilco. Its been a while eh! I haven't looked for the baeos this year, I have since moved, and no longer have access to the area. I do have some specimens still saved though. Unfortunately, I'm sketched out about sending some specimens internationally, so they never got sequenced. I have scoped them though, and I think I might scope these caerulipes this weekend for fun if I find the time.
here is that thread about the baoes with the scope pictures:

Roy: It's good to hear that some beech are able to survive while being affected. Maybe it'll just eventually become a mutual symbiosis? Nature is always amazing with the way it can react to newly introduced pressures.
Yesterday, I went searching for around 5 hours the day after some light rainfall only to come back with a face full of spider webs. Barely even saw any Mycenas. Days like that can make it really discouraging, but you just have to stick with it.
Today, not even 10 minutes into the woods, I found this family of 6 sitting on the same log that I found them on last year 





They are currently printing so hopefully I can get a decent mat of spores by tomorrow. I am thinking of trying out an experiment or two. Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations for propagating this species via woodchips or decaying logs? I have heard it is quite difficult but I am always up for a good challenge

I'm definitely gonna check out your thread. I'M dying to put these to agar.
I was told they are a secondary decomposer. So I figured if I could get a clean dish then drop into a jar of grain and get it colonized. I was planning on spawning it to some soaked year or two old woodchips, leaves and forest soil.

Yeah there are no teks i could find for the Caerulipes. But I would imagine they work just as any other wood decomposer does. They just carry a veil of mystery with them because they are so rare to find in the wild. I have a very long winter ahead of me, and I plan on filling my free time with wood lovers projects for next spring. Then when the time is right, I want to establish outdoor beds. Caerulipes, Ovoids, Cyans, Azures, and Subs are the goals.
Would you say the Caerulipe experience is different from cubes, and in what way? I have never tried them or any woodlover for that matter, which is what has spawned this project in my mind. Why not try them all!!!!

That's awesome, I would think they have high levels of baeocystine just like the other wood lovers, which I believe gives them such a different experience.
I did not realize that they are that slow! A few years to push out a microdose seems like some pretty shitty returns lol. Then again I'm sure it would be worth it for the dose and for the community here!
If I ever get my hands on some spores I will most definitely playing around with them!!!! I've found there's always down time in this hobby, no matter how many rojects you got going. I'm sure I could find the time for a long term project lol!

Thanks brotha! Im gonna drop it in grain, and use that to spawn to soaked beech decay (leaves and broken twigs) and a little forest soil in a tub to colonize, hopefully i get some colonized chips by November

Yes, simmered some wood from a log they were growing on, used the strained simmered water for agar/malt mixture. They were very happy with it. Never took them to grain, retired my efforts.

YES! The woods are blowing up! unfortunately i'm about 2hrs from the bluefoot spots, and it's not looking like i'll make it out there this year... and of course its a boomer of a late season!   i usually tie it in with some trout fishing too and bring home some delicious brooks/rainbows. Ton's of cool stuff popping right now, and i've got the gut feeling that there's a hell of some patches in the mountains right now 
On the up side my black trumpet spot is on fire right now, it needs another 2 days or so before they're mature but they're blanketing the hill side.

VG: I may try that myself! They are very slow going, easily the slowest I've seen yet, maybe it's the agar being PDA but wow, slooooooow....
It is beautiful myc though, very tomentose in nature so far but the growth circles are for the most part incredibly even...
I will be dropping them in rye berries but at this rate that could be a month from now lol...

I went out last weekend to look for this mushroom. It had rained a little everyday for like 4 days and temps were cool like 50 or 60 degrees F. I searched for hours in mixed Beech and Birch forest, but didn't find anything except a bunch of mycena and some other interesting stuff. I'll try again next time it rains.

They were very slow and tomentose in my experiments as well, the pics i posted were roughly 8-12 days post swab using fresh wild prints all done in a SAB.
If i had the opportunity to transf. to grain i'd significantly cut down on traditional grain amounts, selecting under-filled 0.5pint widemouth - basically small steps the whole way, acting on a small scale they are after all, very small fruits that are to remain undisturbed.
I really hope you stick with them, they're the holy grail of controlled cultivation that to this day have no confirmed success

Hey everyone this is my first post and really my first time out looking for Caerulipes. These little guys were found growing out of a fallen and rotting tree off of a trail behind an old cemetery. I believe it was birch these were growing out of, not sure but definitely hardwood. It's been pretty dry except for this recent rain that Matthew has brought up here (Maine). These haven't blued and I am waiting on a spore sample. They have a strong ordinary mushroom smell, barely have to lift them toward your face to start to smell it. All of them were found on the same log within a probably 5 inches of each other, if that.

Alright, Alright, Alriiiiight...check these out!!
Several clean dishes of Caerulipe mycellium...

I'm thinking I'm gonna use millet instead of rye berries for these bad boys. Maybe they wil do better with the smaller grains??

Will they come up in grass beneath beech trees or only directly in the rotting log and/or decay debris? I'm in NW NJ, elevation 1100+ feet thinking after the rains earlier in the week/weekend...

Gug your mushrooms kinda look like an Entoloma sp. to me. You can post them on MH and I for a second opinion though

Very encouraging pics, Peteyboy, keep up the great work! Do you plan to try fruiting them outside, inside, or both?

Went out looking again for this species today in the rain. Spent an hr or two but didn't find anything except lots of mycena, some pear-shaped puffballs, and some other weird stuff like slime molds and Phlebia tremellosa.

I don't think it's Ps. quebecensis, I've been watching them grow VERY closely for the last 4 years and they usually only blue on the caps, this one blued heavily on the base of the stipe within minutes of picking.

It's not a caerulipes either.
It's gotta be a strictipes or semilanceata

looks like a semi, don't think strictipes exists unless some one can provide the difference then i think they are just libs apparently the spores are bigger but i can't find anything that shows this
-------------------- 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.

Pretty sure it's not a Lib either I'm almost positive it's strictipes, even shows what looks like remnants of partial veil in a couple more I found..... I am printing semilanceata, quebecensis and this one side by side for comparison. The small print is from one I picked yesterday that I thought was a lib at first.

Just to clarify, caerulipes and quebecensis are both wood-lovers. So those are both out of the question.
My vote is on strictipes
What country were these found in?

Yes, I know caerulipes and quebecensis are wood lovers but I have found quebecensis on my lawn as well, obviously growing from wood under the grass which I though may have been the case here but I agree and also think this is strictipes.
quebecensis
