Help finding mushroom
    #23533855 - 08/12/16 07:43 AM (7 years, 5 months ago)

Hello all, I live in the Pensacola Florida area and have been seeing a lot of shrooms with all this rain.

I was wondering if I could get some of you to submit photos of shrooms you have found personally or photos you can find of shrooms in this area.

I see all sorts but have trouble trying to pick and id everything. I would like to make a local guide of what to eat eat, what not to eat, and what's active.

Thanks, any help collecting more images is greatly appreciated

Here are a couple species that are active at the bottom of my post, you can find both in Florida!



You can find psilocybin cubinsis almost anywhere there are cows, pic at top and the bottom right, that's your best bet imo. You could check out a secluded cow field, look around big oak trees and on level ground, I find them to grow best on the west or east side of oaks ( my theory is the trees block the direct sunlight) go to the mushroom info tab at this site and do some research on p. Cubes. Starting out only grab the ones that bruise blue at the stem or cap, and make sure you get some pics and spore prints, upload here and get a trusted identifier to confirm the ID. You can never be too safe! Also you definitely don't have to go at night, it's way easier during the day, also I would recommend picking a bunch of different ones, it would look bad if you had a bag of p. Cubes and a cop stopped you, you can pretty much limit the possibility of getting arrested by having a bunch of different ones, although trespassing is still illegal, and technically so is possession of psilocybin mushrooms. Finding the right field is paramount! Hope this helped have fun and be safe!

Check out this post for advice on how to find active mushrooms, https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/12412007

Included in the post is a link to a guide which lists the active mushrooms that commonly grow in different areas, here is what's listed for Florida

  • Panaeolus cambodginiensis
  • Panaeolus chlorocystis
  • Panaeolus cyanescens
  • Gymnopilus luteofolius
  • Gymnopilus luteoviridis
  • Gymnopilus luteus
  • Panaeolus cinctulus
  • Panaeolus fimicola
  • Pluteus americanus
  • Psilocybe banderillensis (found only once in recorded history, as P. mammillata)|
  • Psilocybe caerulescens (very rare)
  • Psilocybe cubensis
  • Psilocybe mexicana (found only once in recorded history, as P. tampanensis)
  • Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata (link)


Here are some pics of cubes

These have been partially dried during spore printing



Here are some more dried cubes



Here are some cubes and pans ("Panaeolus cyanescens perhaps mixed
with Panaeolus antillarum" -Anglerfish), picked and in their natural habitat



Go through the different species listed for Florida above and look up each species using one of the sources at the bottom of the link provided above. You should be able to get a good idea of what you are going to look for and what you are going to avoid. If it looks like something you want, pick it! You can always throw it away if it gets an undesirable ID later.

:goodluck:

So the only actives here are from dung? I was under the impression subs grew in grass pretty frequently here and there were other species of actives able to be found in the wild here

Yes there are species that grow out of enriched soil, grassy areas, woodchips, dead trees, you will just have a better shot at finding Florida actives in dung, in my experience at least. Read about all the different species where hold the door posted. Also I've found it harder to ID non dung loving species, that might just be me and my area though.

:notsureif:

Did you bother to read my post in it's entirety?

It listed every known active species in the state and provided pics of two species other than cubes.

Thanks for the information. I have read your post in its entirety that's why I was confused and have been confused by people saying the same elsewhere, just wanted to have someone stand up and clarify.


I'm still pretty confused as to what the area and shrooms will specifically look like, many of the images are either post cultivation or really close up. While beautiful, they don't accurately represent what the landscape, growth matter, and cap grouping will look like. I do a lot of driving and jogging and stumble across numerous species, but really have trouble identifying with the images provided via Google. That's why I was attempting to compile a complete glossary and index of local mycology and the mycology of the surrounding areas using information and pictures submitted here.

Thank you

What you're after is http://mushroomobserver.org/, you can search for different finds in different areas. You may get lucky and some very helpful individuals may have detailed their actives finds in your area. If not, check for the same species in other areas that have similar qualities as where you're looking. For instance, if you're in pensacola and can't find any useful information on pensacola, check out other neighboring cities or expand your search area, as needed.

Where you'll find cubes remains pretty constant, cow fields are notorious for fruiting actives. Mushrooms like light, but don't need a lot of it. Mushrooms love to hangout in areas that receive a mixture of sun and shade. Trees are perfect cover for mushrooms for this purpose, the position of the sun helps the mushroom grow without being baked constantly. That's not to say mushrooms won't grow in direct sunlight. Mushrooms may also favor growing from a clump of grass, where the grass is significantly taller than the fruit body itself, offering protection from the sun at certain times.

When you're looking for mushrooms, the best method is to stop looking. Though it sounds counterintuitive, look at the ground and just go. They will find you. Sometimes they're little tan or brown spots, other times they're look like little bundles of small eggs on skewers, if that makes any sense at all. The pics above were taken specifically for the reasons you've outlined. Unfortunately, they cannot be taken at a wider angle or in a way that would showcase the landscape. This will likely be the case for most, until federal law changes.

If you have more questions, we're here to help, within the confines of the rules, of course.

When you're in a field, it may look like just grass, but odds are a cow patty was there before and has since become part of the landscape. Why you might find a mushroom there could be because the patty had spores in it and that area may have fruited in the past. Most mushrooms in the photos that have been posted from this account were taken directly from or within the immediate vicinity of a cow patty. With the exceptions being the mushrooms that were found in areas that appeared to have been fertilized by a cow patty in the past. The areas where mushrooms were before did have darker and taller grass, same grass, just healthier.
