'Having devoted 20+ hours searching and finding only 1 very small patch
In all seriousness, do I just suck at looking for actives? Or, does it just take this much time to find a patch? '




Dude some people spend years looking before they find any actives, some give due to inpatients and just grow cubensis. My advise is to look for habitats and not mushrooms.

That being said I'm skeptical your mushroom is a Psilocybe, what's up with the focus and color in your pictures? Are you using tilt-shift or something.

You just get better with time. Do it every day of the season for several years and they start to talk to you and you start to feel like you're being led to them. At least that was my experience. I started hunting in highschool in late 80s and finds were kind of few and far between. Often finds were pretty mych accidental. The key is to always be looking. If you're outside and its fall look at the ground. By the time id been doing this for several years, my discovery of new patches i creased dramatically, until it was not uncommon to find multiple new patches every week all season....then, alas, 7 yrs ago I moved to SoCal.... Now i got an itch that badly needs scratching. For the last 20 yrs, I'll start having dreams about picking when the season gets close. Fun hobby/ obsession.

Thanks for the advice maynardjameskeenan, and Hamra,
:smile: Glad to hear that it's normal for a noob. Will keep on searching.

Btw, my original pics did suck. Better images were posted in a request id to make sure.

Are there irrigation/watering restrictions out in the bay at all?....

Pretty sure this is one reason my patches out here (cen valley) are not fruiting (yet), irrigation/sprinklers has been restricted to once a week because of the drought.




Of course there's water restrictions in the Bay. It's probably down to once every two weeks. Some places don't irrigate at all, and others stop for the winter. It's a terrible situation. So far, practically none of my existing finds have done anything to speak of this season. I've had to rely solely on new finds to get any mushrooms.

here at my northern location, i just witnessed the hardware store running their sprinklers, its raining right now.

Found another, really beat up patch on accident too just going to the coin laundry. Amazing stuff.
These Alleniis' flesh was very deteriorated. No so much rotten but just all fucked up.Gills exposed from the top.

Stunted too.

Plentiful, but stopped growing. Found 5 or 6 tucked in bushes, of good size, and the rest in the open seemed aborted definitely ready to rot.

Dont know if it was years old, or if its the substrate. Was very "barky" woodchip. Fibrous. Didnt seem optimal.






Acquired a quality qigital camera, going to be lots of habitat pics soon.

thank you man, i'm glad you're a cool guy!


i don't think they run the sprinklers enough in the summer in my area because i've planted loads of spawn and never had it take. the only sucess i've had was from stem butts and fruits...

Went out in the city today for an hour or so, and woah! Are there a lot of actives out there! Hundreds of pins and baby's. I'm gonna have a few dry ounces worth by Thursday or Friday!

Nice afrogus. That picture of all those allenii clustered in that grass tuft is awesome.

(Pic from November 14th.) With around 95% of my previous finds still not fruiting, I decided it's time to take some emergency measures and today returned to the site of the above cyan find. The beast was already fruiting again.



Carefully pulling up a handful of specimens at various stages of maturity, I returned to homebase and simmered up a batch each of dyed douglas fir and alder woodchips. In the end, however, I decided to place all six sets of stem-butts in one small ventilated container with alder chips. (I actually brought home a extra seventh stem-butt which I placed in a bag with a small amount of the douglas fir chips.)

The idea is that many, many, many patches in the Bay area seem to be going bye bye from the new drought-climate taking hold. You don't need to have a definite plan, but if you find a patch with abundant fruits you might wanna consider preserving the strain.

So this was my monster Allenii find the other day. The little ones i left to grow turned into monsters too.
Also pinned many more too. Wish i had pics of the first flush.






If the pictures do not display

This is my stunzii/ or small Ovoids i found.

IF the redirect doesnt work, copy-paste.



This is a habitat i just found, it has 3-4 spp.
Allenii, Cyans, Ovoids, and even maybe a patch of 5 or 6

Azurenescens?? In Sacramento.
That'd be sweet.
I think they are just diff looking cyans.
http://imgur.com/a/UHU3h; - fixed link, proper now.

I'll send them for microscopy to a TI(s) if there is any interest.


Some Gyms.

A dog.

A sunset.
