My bad then. I apologize. It's difficult to read sarcasm if you know what I mean. Can we move forward and be friends, even if our opinions differ in some respects?

Stuff like this can be found on climatedata.org, or finds from previous years threads can be studied for habitat photos, check mushroomobserver.org and study this type of information. Identify and wiki plants that grow where your mushrooms do and learn your different types of trees. That's honestly one of the most important things in some cases. Then use the search engine here and try things like psilocybe azurescens rock hill park and see what comes up. Or use the search engine for counties.
Then skim those threads and see who tends to get more particular and obvious about their stuff. So you find pictures on mushroomobserver.org, come to this website, use the search engine for Rock Hill county or Rock Hill park and see if you can find even more specific areas. Or if someone mentions it's a cemetery behind a school that used to be a dorm for a college that no longer exists.. then you go to these areas and you find mushrooms.
And for the record your first posts made it out to be like you were screwing around (something made the ranger stop you).. but keep in mind we see shitty people like that all season and they stomp grasses down, litter, smoke, leave it obvious where they were hunting or walking, then next thing you know their friends are there and now no one can enjoy it. Sorry for jumping to conclusions OP.
Fuckin, anyway, OP you also might just be hunting wrong too, like not getting the right vantage point to check out a slope or the other side of a park near ivy growth.
If you want, take your camera out with you next time and take pictures of the places you look. We can help you figure out if you're in the right places. In the meantime don't forget to check out mushroomobserver.org, use the search engine and look at the Actives threads from previous years, use climatedata.org and cross reference those finds on those days with that kind of weather and you'll have a much better grasp on things. There's also an Images Only icon on the top right of the page, so you can narrow both your searches by removing posts with no pictures and studying the habitat.

And for the other matter, David, I've made it clear to you that the thread in which I was rude to you was because you - once again - went flying off the handle, viciously attacking trusted identifiers and people I consider friends as well as valuable members of this forum. You went off for pages baiting and flaming people and you have a history of this, which is why you're an opt out, since for some reason it hurts your feelings when people tell you how much of a disturbance you can be.
And for the selling thing, I give most of my mushrooms away all season, it's not my fault someone threw a lot of money in the wrong car window. But also its fucked up to just make amends over your flame fest and then you walk in here and bring the subject up again. What for?
I've been on mushroomobserver for quite a while now. I realize what you are saying though. I was just trYing to give an experience based method to learn vs a research based method. Research + experience > either on their own.

Let me clarify further. I don't mean drive to a town and pull out your hygrometer, take a reading, then move on to the next town. I mean what's the rh over by that tree vs over by that brick wall. Near the ground vs 6 feet up in the air. And combine those readings with what you observe in your surroundings.

ChuckFinn said: I travelled to 3 cities in the Pacific NW, two of them coastal and one a huge, sprawling metropolis further inland but still west of the cascades. I looked in every bed of woodchips I saw and discarded every mushroom I found because it was not what I sought. No bluing reactions, no purplish spore prints. Just a lot of galerinas and god knows what else. I went tromping around in a horse camp, kicking through grass and horse shit and was stopped and questioned by a Park Ranger who knew exactly what I was looking for. Luckily, I had not found anything worth bagging and thus after being searched could not be ticketed or detained. Then I went kicking through coastal grass dunes right where they should be and could not find a single specimen of any fungi, much less the prized one and only.
What am I doing wrong? Maybe they do not want me to find them.
Could be timing . In my area it isnt cold enough yet.
Also check local parks its your best bet. ive found two active species in my local parks.
