Best of holidays to you too! 
Although, you should read the forum rules before posting.
It is, among other things, not allowed to ask for hunting partners.
Also check this link to see which species are growing in your area (only including psliocybin containing species, however).
Welcome to the Shroomery!

The limited variety of trees in Hawaii also limits the amount of mycorrhizal mushrooms. There are some species of Amanita on the islands but probably not many. If you find some you should document them on MushroomObserver.

Hi, First post and first hunt.
I found these at the Kula Botanical Gardens on Maui. Found exactly where described in another post. I'm seeing blue stain/brushing, won't produce spore print. Trying to figure out if these are safe...
Please help a Newbi Out...
Thanks

Looks like Psilocybe cyanescens, nice find!
I think I vaguely remember the post you are referring to.

Thanks...there are 5-6 nice sized patches in the back area of the Gardens. Lot's of people, so pic some, take pictures while waiting for next group to pass through, then pick some more. I didn't even make a dent, pulled 60-70...
I'll go back tomorrow to take pics of general area for who ever may be visiting Maui any time soon.
I'll report on tonights experience soon...
Thanks again

Sharing exact locations is against the rules.

Definately psilocybes and look very similar to cyans, but if those are in Hawaii or anywhere in the tropics thatstotally bizzare and up till now thought impossible. Its either a different (new?) active species or cyans totally out of their range as understood till now.

I found these at approx. 3,000 ft. Growing in wood chips. The temps range from mid 50's to low 70's. Higher than average amount of rain and regularly overcast. The specimens are also growing under a semi-enclosed structure...They are growing in 3-5 ft patches over a 25'X25' area. Is there any other information that might be helpful?

So... I don't mean to sound ignorant or anything but are you guys trolling with the tropical Psilocybe Cyanescence? I've been mushroom hunting on Kauai many times. The temperatures and climate of Kauai are pretty far from the textbook growth parameters of Cyanescence. Having lived and hunted in the PNW for many years also I just can't see Cyans on Kauai. Don't get me wrong if they are there that is pretty dope but can anyone verify the validity of this claim?

Not sure how to verify claim...I did a lot of research about the island and potential hunting grounds. I went out three days a few hours ea. and found absolutely nothing. Finally, the forth day pay dirt!! After getting confirmation of shroom type, my girlfriend and I had a great trip that night.
We intend to go back to pick some more in a few hours...will take more pics to share.
