Liloldme i like the double harvest pic. Took me a second to see that. Looking real good. Those stems look really thick, good genetics.
Good to see some variety in here. My allenii planter is starting to pin still nothing from the ovoids and cyans yet though.

Great finds everyone! Damn, massive hauls F88 and NO5!
I noticed some interesting morphology with one of my cyanescens patches. Going back today, I think these might be actually be allenii. Let me know what you think.







And then here's a pretty good size cyan I was more than happy to nab.


Get it? Got your name all over it. Message me were you would like it delivered. I will get it in the mail Tomorrow.

A quick prayer to the mushrooms and I'm off to continue the search. Man you guys posting your backpacks full and shit have given me such a stiffy I'm literally shaking with anticipation. I've identified golden chanterelles, white chanterelles, porcini, cauliflower, and hedgehog mushrooms in the past two weeks but not a single damned active whyyyyyyyyyyy god!?

After dehydrating for about 6 hours, and a few hours of the mushrooms sitting out, the caps of the mushrooms seem to have gained back squishyness, but are still dry. Is that alright? They were cracker dry when they first came out. i threw them back in the dehydrator for about another hour. just wanting to see if thats alright and im not hurting the mushrooms

^^^ W/NW Washington people you should've found these, I saw hunter signs you guys gotta get down to the base of all veg. It's a pretty good area. It is not a tidal marsh nor swamp nor pines just has slopes of dunes and a few paths. It's like 3 feet off the trail everyone has to use to get in. The sedge brushes you lol.
And Oregon..
Found two patches at the park I go fuck off at for awhile when life is hard. No azure for about half an hour so I do my final turn around to check both sides from a different angle and I see something. Boom. Everywhere. Just everywhere. I don't know what else can describe it except for awe. I filled pockets, satchel, pack then went and got the bucket. 
For the most part (since there's no point shooting a landscape picture of sedge), they more or less looked like this. Mature caps max at quarter to half dollar size, average quarter. Stipes approx 3 inches. The pictures do no justice to any of them but holy heck are they gorgeous.
That deeper ruddy red orange (or rust if you prefer lol) was for the strong fruits with meaty caps and big monster stems zigzagging through grass. But they were like lib stems. The pale orange ones you kind of have to nibble to eat when fresh but these guys want you to take a honking bite like an apple. Like a beefier ovoid cap.




I first thought these were hand fulls of berries someone picked and then threw them in the woods. Nope, they're pins. And there's effing thousands! Check out the formation I didn't know the stipe was still attached at that stage. I have four other photos if anyone wants to take a look of different angels and I have some other stages of maturation.

And hey for you new crew (2016 what's up!). This is a textbook azurescens and what the gills look like in a mature specimen. Notice the clear blue rim and instant bruising. By the time I clipped the stem, held the cap close to my eye for a good look, the wet almost squishy had already blued. You won't see this in drier specimens.




And god just look at these things.

They just kept being everywhere and I for real thought I was being trolled by life/nature and my body was asleep at a rest stop from all the driving.

Next time I go back, if this guy is there, I'm going to clone it because I've always found red azures the most potent. Like night and day. This will likely turn orange if it doesn't drown but some do stay this way (very rare I've seen 4 out of thousands be mature and red so pick what you know).


Very many were growing on fresh pine but amongst other species and still had difficulty with older pine but not really there's buried cones covered in myc. Neat. Only saw that once last year and pulled a mushroom from the other side. I think stevo has had it happen with another, and the Alaskan azures that were introduced were spawned to small cones I forget what they're called.


just what i wanted to see as i stepped in!!! FUCKING BEAUTIFUL! good job! well guys.. my azure trip is planned and hotel is booked..

They will regain moisture if left out, this is the moist PNW after all. I seal them in mason jars right out of the dehydrator, zero sitting time.

This is what i do as well, mason jar attachment for food saver. They stay good like this for years if u wanted. They are like a sponge when dry in the pnw wet winters. I have checked this have had an ounce gain a gram and a half in a week. During heavy rain. It is very humid here in the fall/winter hence why mushrooms grow so well here.

Well... I had hoped "for years" with the mason jar vac method, but I had some cyans from 13 I recently pulled out from the dark cupboard and they seem to have lost most of their potency. I think the addition of oxygen absorbers and then keeping them frozen after vac packing would yield much better results.
-------------------- "Shrub, 30-90 cm. Leaves 2.5-) 4-9 cm, sessile or amplexicaul, broadly ovate to ovate-oblong, obtuse or rounded to subapiculate or subacute, when crushed not smelling of goats." "The initial quake was a 6.6 but fairly shallow. I felt it as a prolonged up and down vibration followed by a jolt forward and then to the left, like square dancing."

For max potency over time storage, nothing beats some raw honey. I like to let em dry just to where they wrinkle but dont crunch at all, then toss em in a jar of local raw honey. Bout 5 years is longest I've been able to save one and id say prolly roughly same potency of completely dry mushrooms compared to fresh, but with a yummy candy coating.
I guess to give that more context, i feel like dry mushrooms are half as strong as fresh so like, 5 fresh caps I'm level 3 then 10 dry is about the same. So 10 wrinkly honey soaked caps is the same as 5 fresh or 10 if they were dried. But years later
Also they honey kinda turns blue for about 2 years and makes pbj more fun.
