Psilocybin in Alaska??
#23558469 - 08/19/16 09:52 PM (7 years, 5 months ago) |

Just moved to the interior of Alaska. Specifically in eagle right on the Yukon river. I'm in search for psilocybe mushrooms and have read many postings and how to identify but have not read of anybody finding any up here. I have several pictures and did a spore print on several mushrooms but am not confident enough in what I've seen to try them. So many look alike. Does anybody know of people finding these up here? Any help would be great

Could be wrong but I think they're only in tropical climates

haha really Niffla, There are definitely some in Alaska but mostly on the coast from what I hear. Have heard a first hand account of massive amounts of P. Cyanescens at sea level mind you. Might be worth a trip out there. Alder is a great habitat. You should be looking for P. Cyanescens, P. baeocystis or P. Pelliculosa (trickier to ID). There is a possibility of others as well.

I think I found some of those weak ones that grow on well manacured lawns with the ring around the outside of the cap
michigan is a garbage state though. No cuture, no good drugs. fuck Michigan(from Muskegon)

Were they small? I hear liberty caps are common, i cut a few lawns in my area and i always see these small mush that kinda fit the id. Never have picked them though.
And i dunno what your talking about there isnt really any other states id rather live in than michigan!

Definitely some in Michigan too. The only place in North America I could see not having any psilocybin mushrooms at all is Nunavut or North West Territories. It really wouldn't surprise me though as Quebec is fucking cold too and has some good hunting.

Your welcome... Check out the hunting and identification forum.. I know there is a couple guys from Alaska who post. Definitely post anything you find and people (including experts) will help you positively ID it. Good place to learn about varieties and habitat as well. Happy hunting

as you can see my mushroom hunting knowledge depth is quite lacking
But seriously, I went up to Wyoming several years ago on a transfer, and I looked into it (on the web) on whether or not Wyoming had actives in the wild, and I coulda swore that they didn't. I thought it was too cold or some shit.

Took a look at your pictures. The one with the purplish stem is likely Cortinarius vanduzerensis and then you have an Armillaria. Compare to Armillaria mellea. Also that last one looks like a Hypholoma to me, not sure which one.
No psilocybin there bud and possibly some toxicity. Take care.

Thank you for taking a look. I have alot of time to keep looking up here. They are so thick in Alaska you wouldn't believe. Definitely not going to try anything until I hear some good feedback from people on the site.

Psilocybe azurescens have been privately cultivated and also spawned. Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata has been reported. Keep in mind it takes someone publishing, sequencing and cataloging that area. I've seen azurescens fruit through ice in Oregon I don't see why a spawned patch in AK wouldn't. It's also had two reported finds of Psilocybe cyanescens, but I doubt those claims and would like to know more. Someone is actively spawning them, with a year and a half deep in the project and has had success. Look for the flying saucers around decaying trees, harbors, driftwood and stay out of the pines. I'd imagine they're fuckin huge up there with the lack of giant mycelial mats so they need larger fruits for sporulation. In the case of ovoids they're so ravenous I'm sure if they took off you'd be golden. Their spores are even shaped differently for propagation of the organism, and makes it stand out in the Psilocybe family as a unique feature. Azurescens grows around grasses that wick moisture down during the season like reeds and dune grass and stuff, ideally in a sandy area, on the outlying parts of the plant. Azures like to get away from the plants to wiggle their spores around.
Edit: And if you're out hunting and find moose shit, get a shovel and bucket and use it for cultivation of cubensis. It will blow hpoo and cow dung out of the water. The eensie weensie pine cones that's up there do well for the woodlovers but I forget what they're called. Generally they don't like oils and acidity so I guess if you wanted to know I'd go off that..

Wow thank you added for all the info. I'm posting 3 more pics of some spore prints I just made last night. 3 of them have almost black to purple spores. Pretty sure im getting closer to what I'm looking for
