Sounds like somebody saw you check 'em and swooped in after you to see what you were droolin' over.

Sometimes it's even property owners and groundskeepers. If they find people are picking mushrooms on their property they will make some halfass efford to get rid of them. I once saw a campus groundskeeper in Humboldt shoveling up a huge patch of P. allenii, wood chips and all, into big yard waste bags the day after somebody had been picking them.
The thought of trying to eradicate the several Psilocybe species which grow on and around that campus is laughable but it's a shame to see such a large and largely undisturbed colony treated in that manner.

Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it. If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.

I took a quick peek because it was on the way to my car. Wanted to see if I should harvest today or later this week.
Anyway, lesson learned. Make 100% no one is watching you before even checking the patch. I wanted to believe I could let these guys grow out a bit more but it seems in SF the patches can get swooped within a day.
I hope at least they were harvested for good reason, not just getting pulled by the groundskeeper. No mycelium was ripped up surprisingly, but I didn't want to linger to see if someone had used scissors.

It happens sometimes.
During my first season hunting, there was a dude on here who wasn't findin' shit and who I felt a little bad for. Anyway, I PMed him something nice...maybe mentioning hunting together. But I became really busy and procrastinated contacting him again for several days. Then I was finally gunna do it one day, that is, contact him to hunt together, but there was this one very beautiful patch I'd been babying and wanted to harvest first. So on that day, I didn't contact him and instead planned to go harvest the patch. But during that exact window of time, the dude decided to go hunt by himself, got on the highway, got off on an exit he'd never exited, drove down some streets he'd never driven down, and found the very patch I'd arrive at to harvest in mere hours. And of course, being his first find, he ripped the entire patch up outta the ground...a blow from which it still hasn't fully recovered.

Wow that's rough. At least you know that it was someone on here, not a random person. Today left me super confused because I take pretty good precaution when hunting
Also seems to be a good lesson on attachment. These are in very public places, so I can't claim them as "mine". If the mushrooms are there, great. If not, so be it. Who knows though, I could be treading on someones patch they've been harvesting for years and they're the one feeling shitty that I found it.
Time to bust out the bike and find patches that don't have much foot traffic.

Went there again today, found the same patch, the color was changed a little bit, more brownish. I cut few and there is no blue. I think they are not active. How long it take to get blue bruise? I took a few back to home, it showed some black bruise after stay in the plastic bag for few hours. Still working on spore print. I am newbie on this.

Just for curious, I picked couple of them, at beginning the cut is watery, transparent liquid, no blue, but when I go back to home, I noticed they showed a little blue and a lot of grey or black now. Originally posted in the wrong thread, sorry for double posting.

Nice; there's actually blue in those pictures. I'm glad to be wrong.

Woo! Are those irrigated? Went for a north bay bike ride last week with no luck. Figured I'd make the trek again when the non-irrigated patches are popping up.

I met another mushroom hunter today while I was scouting areas in the North Bay. I saw him looking in the woodchips and finally I turned back and he was in the woodchips. I said, "Hunting for cyans?" He looked taken aback. "How'd you know?" Turns out, he's a friend of a hunter who posts here...I'll respect his privacy just in case. Anyway, it was a good time and an amazing coincidence. And the above mushrooms are Tubaria.
