No offence, but I think you're kinda bullshitting us. You sound like someone who's really new to mushroom hunting, who does't have many or any finds at all under his belt, and who's bitter because of it and wants to lash out and disguise it as moralizing.

I left this board when Hippie left. I mostly lurk. Some times I post. Mostly I don't. I found my first actives when I was 16 and have been hunting and finding ever since. I am in my 40s now. Please stop being so hostile toward me. You don't know me. I fully understand and respect your opinion, though I don't agree with it. Please respect mine.

No, I don't have to respect your opinion when it amounts to trying to start up an attack train against another member.

Weren't you the one who wanted to have a contest to see who could pick the most mushrooms this season just a few weeks ago?
Haha shenanigans I love that. Fuck I wanted an anonymous thread we could collect a combined weight of all hunters. That way we could get an idea of the dry combined weight for each season. Makes me laugh everyone keeps trying to make it like I was attempting to get a contest going. I thought it would be interesting and possibly useful for science if we could show yearly dry weight. Apparently it would be a contest.
I like the Hypocrite hypocrite remark. It made me smile.
I feel I derailed this thread possibly.
So a few pointers.
Hunt everyday no matter if you're on your way to the store, stopped at a red light walking to work. Whatever always keep your eyes peeled. Learn more than just cyans. Slow down when you feel something is there. I usually start my day if I'm strictly going for a hunt and I imagine the path I am going to take my final destination. Hunt till it's dark. All patches I have ever found are gaurded by something. Watchful parents, barking dogs, very common for some reason to have a wedding photo shoot or other photography nerd in the area, angry old people on a walk, early am they seem gaurded as well. I have yet to find a patch where I can sit down relax and chill with the mushrooms without someone coming around the corner. I can pass by a patch of wood chips realize it's gaurded my spidy senses will tingle and when I come back more often than not there is a patch just waiting for me.
Maybe we should just post how much cash we've made. That is a great idea for a contest. We can create the shroomery GDP. It could be the Gross Shroomery Product. The GSP.

Tough guy huh. I'm just as big of an ass in person not just online. Trust me people like to try. Ive always been down for a little excitement, but in my old age I've started to feel a little remorse. I might be just a little more tough online just like you. I'd say you're a bad ass I definately wouldn't want to fuck with you. I am scared, so please be nice big guy.
If I met you IRL Id be Down to chill and puff a bowl. Give me some tequila and things get weird.

Total dick move, for sure. Turning the mushrooms into a commodity cheapens them. An even bigger dick move than shilling these things is to accuse others of disrespecting the land by littering on it and the rest -- when you know fuckall about the person. I bite my thumb at you, sir.

That means absolutely nothing.
On the other hand, you're 100% right about Adden's nastiness to you, which I was personally apalled by at the time and meant to say something. He equally acted an ass in a thread of mine.

Yeah, I guess it's not a dick move. It's pretty normal.

thumbs are gettin bit, shit's gettin real in here
Last time I expressed my opinions about selling foraged actives I got a warning... it's really none of my business what other people do so I won't speak to that.
On the topic of finding your first mushrooms a lot of good advice has been given. My 2 cents is look not just for mushrooms but for mycelium.
Woodlovers have strong, white, rhizomorphic mycelium. It looks more like roots than fuzz. Look for chip beds that have that kind of mycelium, it will not always belong to an active species but it means you're in the right area.
Sometimes you find them where you don't expect them.
The first time I saw cyans I was on my way to court for a traffic violation, my girlfriend was driving because I woke up drunk, and I spotted some caramel caps at a stop sign. From lurking on here, and looking at tons of pictures, I immediately recognized them and went back after dealin with the ticket.
That particular patch was actually in bark chips, it was an old bed that probably had woodchips underneath. I would have never looked there, but due to the circumstances of that morning I spotted them. That patch yielded the tiniest cyanescens I've ever seen.

There's a strange phenomenon of finding more patches easier once you've first found them. One of my friends likes to say the mushrooms find him.
I think once you've first found them you should be spore printing to verify your ID, and when you have spores you might as well put them back out into favorable environments. Also stembutts+eggcarton=WIN. I think most if not all woodlover patches I've found were made by people giving back.
Keep your head figuratively up and physically down and you'll find some.

Just throwing out more ideas. Look where chipped mulch beds meet walls, buildings etc. Carry a hygrometer around with you and take readings in various places to get an idea where humidity is higher. It won't guarantee mushrooms will grow there, but it will show you another facet of what a potential habitat looks like along with other factors such as what else grows there etc.

I gotta hand it to you, carrying around a hygrometer is superb advice. Even more so in the SF Bay area where it's all about micro-climates. I think I'll be getting one myself...I'm very interested in knowing the relative humidity in certain spots and types of spots. Thanks.

I'd like to go back to liking you, which I did before you jumped on the attack-train in my Azzie thread. That shit was wrong. Most of those a-holes have been a-holes to me from the day I arrived two years ago. My only crime: finding mushrooms, lots of 'em.

I think that would be an example for a reason I would fuck with you. Who really cares? maybe the people trying to learn? I personally need a good trip, it's been years and I'm more cynical than I should be. Also it feels like you haven't fully tripped and let go of that annoying ass ego that plagues us all.

Are you going to attack every post I make from now on because you are butt hurt for some reason no one can articulate? What are you 4 years old? Grow up. Learn to let it go man. Smoke a bowl. Relax a little bit. OP is from the PNW. I'm not going to respond to you any more, unless you are willing to be civil. I stopped caring a while ago. Learn to be a decent human being instead of stomping your feet and shouting "No, I don't hafta, I don't wanna" you are embarrassing no one but yourself.

It's not an ego but a person's dignity that you try to take when you pull that crap, which is plain to see also in the present thread. And that'll never work with me.
