Is hunting mushrooms sketchy for you?
    #24311923 - 05/11/17 01:15 PM (7 years, 9 days ago)

I find it is, but it depends on the location. My main picking spot is pretty nice, near a forested area in a large park, quite far away from cops peering eyes. But some areas of the same park are a little sketch.

I usually think of an excuse to tell cops or random people who happen to ask me. My first one is "oh im just taking nature photos." Or my other one is "oh im hunting for insects for my pet lizards".

Do u guys get paranoid when picking mushrooms? Whats your "excuse" for anyone bold enough to question u?

Carry some bird watching shit on you, have some binoculars and a wild bird book with you, maybe a camera also. If someone questions you then you have some items that back up your story, I used to do this when I would guerrilla grow cannabis.

Good luck.

I tell people I am looking for mushrooms.    It's pretty obvious anyway and lying just pisses people off.


If it is a place that mushroom picking is not allowed, I tell them I am looking for mushrooms to photograph.

I always carry a backpack rather than a basket or bag.  The backpack has photography gear, tackle boxes and paper bags.

I usually go picking on disc golf courses. Usually a pretty good haul in the forested areas, and I have another reason to be there.

If anyone asks, I'm playing some disc golf and seeing if I can't forage up some dinner at the same time.

To be fair, I don't specifically look for trippys, I mostly do look for edibles.

I've never been bothered, but I go with Alan's theory. If anyone qould really question me, I'd go on about all the Oysters and Reishi and Chanterelles and all the mushrooms that grow here, depending on the season.

The only time I've gone hunting for mushrooms the last 5 years was while hiking or walking through grave yards. Unfortunately in the NE . . . 0% luck while searching . . . Even with a dozen hours browsing this forum for clues.

Do u guys get paranoid when picking mushrooms? Whats your "excuse" for anyone bold enough to question u?





I used to have an amazing spot by an oil well.  I had been going there for over 10 years, sometimes pulling lbs of pan cincs out.  One day I went back and they must have installed trail cams ( I never left the place worse than I found it, but I was trespassing ) and two dogs came out at me, but luckily they didn't attack.  I took my haul and figured they were just out and it was dumb luck.  Next week I went back and as soon as I had a bag about half full a golf cart comes flying back. I bout shit a brick and threw them under my car. The guy was a retired cop...apparently him and his brother ( who was still active ) owned the property.  I was getting so nervous....then he pulls a shitty metal bowl out and some fresh home grown.....I was like "ummmmmm really?" He said he got in a major car wreck ( showed me the scars down his head and up his spine ) and weed was one of the biggest reliefs he had in life and he grew weed with his brother, and invited me back to the house.....I kindly declined and we bs'ed about mushrooms a bit and I left.

I came back a month later and the entire spot was bulldozed.  So I am pretty glad I didn't go back to his house for "dinner", I left a fast as possible and never went back.

There's another spot I go to that is a wonderful spot to pick, and they let you get free compost for your garden, so we just take buckets and if the farmer ever comes back ( he has many times ) we just tell him we are either grabbing compost, or documenting the evolutionary growth of fungi on horse dung.  He gives us permission, I just never go in my vehicle because I have a felony mushroom possession charge.  I think I've gone back maybe 5 times since I got that charge, it's always with the same friend, and I don't have any part in the picking I just help him ID.  It's not worth the risk for me to pick hallucinogenics anymore.

I mis ided gyms one time, and have consumed them once since then and it just wasn't worth the hassle of consuming them, so unless I ever find someone I know with horses I just stick to regular edibles.  Got to eat my first morel last year, and my first oysters this year, both were amazing. I've got a lot of spots for edibles I never worry about, and I have been walking past for years thinking "All mushrooms taste like mushrooms" but now that I know that's far from the truth, I make it a point to go hunting as often as possible for good eats.

I find places that are public for "nature walk" type purposes. I've found a couple that even have random cows in the open pasture type areas. If I was to ever be caught leaving one of those locations with a bag o' shrooms though I'd just say I wanted to learn about mushrooms and just picked whatever I could find. If I'm feeling extra paranoid I'll have a few different bags with me and throw actives in the good bad and random bullshit mushrooms in the others. If they ask why they are separate I'd say say I was trying to keep the similar looking ones together. All the times I've spent running around these locations with a bag full of fresh shrooms I've never had any sketchy times that didn't involve snakes or wild animals though :lol:. Sometimes if I'm finding a lot I stash bags along my route out so I'm not carrying too many unnecessarily. Now I think it goes without question if someone just asked what I was doing and hadn't seen the shrooms I'd just say I'm enjoying a nature walk.

Is hunting sketchy? Sometimes. Usually for my actives tho, it's 45 degrees and raining out off of a 5+ mile stretch hugged by the sea. So it's pretty hard for anyone to really be around.. that's not to say they aren't; I've had some pickers that came up out of nowhere and made me jump out of my skin.

Binoculars, bird book, mushroom book (dog eared pages at edibles), parking passes and all that stuff.. I'm thinking this year I'll just buy the mushroom license so it's one less thing to fuck with me. The more straight laced you seem the better. The only thing I'm worried about being caught with is my sidearm.

I've been stopped before. Ranger asked what I was doing so I was honest. Picking mushrooms. She said make sure someone who knows what they're doing identifies them so I don't die & to leave the funny ones alone and she rode off. Another time the weather had turned and a ranger saw my car out in the lot and drove down to the end of the beach. He just simply didn't want me getting lost in it or have my car float away. I'm sitting passenger in a ranger truck (which are quiet as fuck btw) hanging onto a backpack full of azures and some bags in my coat pockets. I had already loaded a big bucket and a smaller pail in the trunk. I was full on expecting to be arrested thinking someone saw me stash buckets of them. We got to the parking lot and he said have a nice day, exit the park while you can. Another time I sat for hours in the pouring rain under a scenic overlook just hugging a bag while they looked for me. It was some serious Anne Frank shit, hearing their boots above me and seeing them up through the cracks talking about where I might have gone. I don't pick there no more.

Just enjoying nature, gathering some berries and boletes... nothing to see here.

Public park picking can suck a dick tho unless it's food. I really don't mind having a ton of actives so long as they're buried under edibles. If I get a lot of food, I'll hang the bag off my pack. I noticed people stopped bothering me if they could visibly see kings hanging out.

If you look like you belong there and aren't doing anything wrong and look like everybody else, you'll be fine.

Some fucking asshole in his 50s last year heard me and yelled "you picking mushrooms? I'm calling the rangers!" I yelled back I'm picking dinner leave me alone f***** mind your business. I think he was expecting a smaller person since he didn't have much to say to my face when I came out of the sedge and confronted him. No rangers ever came haha.

In before sprinkles comes in and melts about my puppet army and how this never happened and picking up mushroom studies in the PNW is retarded. :rolleyes:

:lmafo: Oddly enough in all the places I've hunted I've never come across any rangers. All I've ever encountered is other shroomers or people who seemed like they were just enjoying the scenery. I've had what I assume were wild dogs come out of fucking no where and make me shit my pants before same with snakes. Almost got bitten by snakes several times :shrug:. The funniest thing that ever happened though was me and some friends were just leaving one of my favorite areas with bags full of shrooms and a group of teenagers who just got there seen us and one of them said "Fuck! They picked em all!" Was a good laugh, we didn't share. :crazy2:

We don't get anything like wild dogs or snakes.. usually just elk, moose, bobcats and mountain lions. The packs of coyotes can get out of control, especially when they're starving and acclimated to humans. I was at a resort with a member here and we went into the dunes at night and they just kept stalking us.. we moved on a bit and they'd appear again.. or one would flank our side. We were both armed, so big deal, but damn they're so quiet you can still hear a mouse fart.

In fall of 2015 I had inadvertently walked into a fresh kill. I went out this past season with a member here and they had just put up signs for a large cat alert.. I don't mind the 20 pound bobcats, it's the cougars that worry me, but usually those are in coastal cliffs and caves off the ground. Saw are lot of bear scat this last year too.

And lol haha. I ran into a picker and he says "I hope you didn't pick them all", and I ask, all of what? He says the kings. Told him nah I'm out for others. We picked up and down a natural pathway. We get done and on our way out dude just hollows out a bolete and packs a mushroom bowl, I'm high on azures already and it blew my mind, was great weed too. I swapped some azures for a few nice kings and a handful of buds.

Two kids begging to be arrested were coming in as we were leaving and one goes "fuck! I bet they picked them all!" :lol:

We didn't share either. =P

So many pickers worrying all the mushrooms just disappeared on account of two people being out. Oh well.. stay away. Haha. Yep all gone, lol. Not a single mushroom left in a 5x10 mile swath of land.

Haha u got some wild stories.

The only real time i saw someome hunting was in a large park, and there was a guy in his 20's with a tie-dyed t shirt on, looking at the ground in a patch of woodchips. He wasnt trying to blend in at all :lol:

Lol thanks LC. Yeah tbh I don't think people get out enough or meet enough people. Out here when it gets super shitty out, a lot of these people in tiny coastal towns just want people safe, and really don't dig trespassers or people who setup clandestine drug labs. I'd bet the terrible weather has saved me more times than I've realized.

And I mean, I get it. Some people wanna just get in and gtfo. For local park hunting this is the only way to go, really. Fuck, last year I had scouted a sexy patch and went the next morning.. I had a few Gladware tubs filled and half a bucket and I hear a faint engine so I'm like okay this can't be good, it's an hour or more until daylight and all the car entrances were locked. I duck and cover and yep, cop. I'm kneeling there in the mud and lol my first thought was "what would my mother think" LOL.. he passed by and I took a moment to gather my thoughts and then a park truck went by.. nope.. had plenty and booked it. Was fully willing to leave pounds of mushrooms to rot than have myself rot in a cell. Know when to cut your losses. A new backpack and a couple hauls of mushrooms are pennies on the dollar compared to a lawyer and fines and community service or just straight up jail.

I know some of my posts over the years have been over the top and some outright untrue, some only partially based in reality.. but for the past 2.5 years I've realized it's pointless and really the only point of sharing these stories are to help other pickers via shared experiences so they don't get fucked.

I'll admit I was in some dark and lonely places when I was unwell. That will stay with me forever and it's just something that now reminds me not to be a shitty troll who takes advantage of people's good graces. Yes it was all foolish and I understand why people question the things I post now. Just serves as a reminder to not be an asshole. Unfortunately some shitheads still follow me around wherever I go trying to pick things apart and continue to harass me and drag me through the mud. I just feel bad for them that they have nothing better to do than harass a relative stranger over things that happened years ago.

But anyway..

Being a nice, honest, and open person when facing arrest and imprisonment really are the ways to go. If you've never been there before you're a tourist. I'm sure cops hear the whole "I'm studying mushrooms for college" coming from pale-white scared kids just looking to get high, adorned with pot leaf necklaces and flat brimmed baseball caps with their pants hanging off their ass, shaking in their boots.. just be the guy you'd normally see out for a hike, walk, or backpacking trip. Blend. Oh the guy in the black raincoat with a backpack.. which one of the dozens have you seen today matching that description.. y'kno?

If you bring binoculars and mushroom books and a camera or tripod.. may as well use them.. I saw some amazing whales and eagles last year I'd otherwise never see. It's hard to lie face to face to people who are trained to find holes in your story to unravel it all and get you to self-incriminate. If you pick other mushrooms while going for actives you may as well pick some you can bring home and eat. I'm pretty sure a ranger will see a basket of boletes and realize "oh he really is here for food" vs a basket of actives, and only actives, as you try and come up with an excuse for a mushroom club you're not part of or one that doesn't exist (a real ranger would know if a myco society rolls through now and again).

Just be confident, know your [fake] story through and through, or heck your true story minus the actives, which is likely the best route. Be calm. Collected. Don't run. Yes sir no sir yes ma'am, thank you sir I appreciate the help.. good thing you're here miss, I thought I was lost can you help me find the way out / it's my first time out here is there any wildlife I should be concerned about / good thing you're here I wasn't sure if I should report the bear scat I saw etc.. know the way law enforcement reacts to pickers - I'd never be this bold in say, Texas Georgia or Florida.. I probably wouldn't even pick - and share your experiences to help other people not get busted.

Seriously once you see cops pulling kids off the beach and throwing them into cars it'll change your perspective on things. Heck one time I broke out my binoculars to see law enforcement using their binoculars to watch pickers. Trust when I say they can and will wait to bust you.

I'd really like to hear some gulf state or mid Atlantic hunters chime in.

I think picking actives is a gamble unless you plan to eat what you pick in the spot. If you aren't driving while tripping or you are camping at the spot it is a good idea to eat your trip in the spot you pick them. Unless somebody sees you eat them there is technically no crime and no opportunity to get busted for possession. I guess you might be able to catch a public intoxication charge if cops come upon you during your trip. Funny story. I have a friend that likes P. ovoideocystidiata but has trouble IDing because he is colorblind. We went to a popular spot in my hometown and spent about an hour picking and took a couple puffs of herb. After collecting around 2 ounces fresh we heard a cop on a loud speaker up on the hill tell us to come out of the woods toward the cruiser. We assumed a homeowner heard us and called the cops. We decided to book it back to the car and ditched the fungi. We took a different trail than we walked in on. We were in an area that was near a creek and was close to the state border. When we popped our heads out of the woods a lady approached us and asked if we had seen any children in the woods, said she lost her children. We told her we hadn't and walked the short distance back to the car. We drove across the bridge and headed for the next state. On the other side of the bridge I could see the trail we took on the way out. I could see a cop with a dog on a leash where we had been about three minutes earlier. Not sure if the lost kid thing was B.S. but my gut still tells me it was. Definitely one of my closer calls

I used to have three cowfields that oddly enough all ran parallel to the county line and they were absolute goldmines. My favorite field used to have a guy that would sit in front of his extremely rundown house on a dilapidated couch by the dirt road that ran by the field itself. The first few times I would explore the field and collect without any problems. One day I was headed back to my car when I saw a guy with a shotgun in his hand hobbling my cars way on the other side of the fence. I thought to myself "Well I guess I'm going to get shot" but turns out he was carrying a cane instead. Anyways told him what I wad doing and he basically said it was fine as long as I didnt mess the fence up and let the cows out. He was actually keeping up with the field for the owner. The owner lived about a half mile down the road. For two years I picked that field until one day he came up to me and told me I couldnt be in there anymore because someone clipped the fence and let out some of his cows. Rather dissapointed I agreed not to come back. However I snuck in around 8 to 10 times afterward and was met with a rifle and an extremely aggitated owner who tried to swing at me as I exited the field. He told me if he ever saw me out there again I would be shot in the head lol. Since then like a dumbass I went back about a year later to find they put a black horse in the same field who was assinine about humans getting anywhere near it and I just left it alone.

Then all those fields stopped producing for some odd reason and I was older and hopping over fences started feeling sketchy so I just started growing my own. I had been caught red handed with a bagfull once by an owner on his four wheeler and when asked what I was doing I just looked at him and said "Im about to trip on your mushrooms hope you dont mind" I think it caught him offguard and his only response was "I do" so I just exited with a subway bag full of cubensis and drove away. Ive been lucky alot in my life. Been through a road block with three bags full of fresh shrooms under my feet with a friend driving who had picked up xanax bars and cocaine a couple roxys as well. Cant make this shit up. But Ive gotten much smarter since my younger years.

Were adden or anyone else picks in northern OR or southwestern WA is hot. Especially the state parks. They no the only visitors to the area during the shittiest weather of the year are mushroom hunters. It's not there first rodeo. Gotta stay alert to stay outa court. Best to fly solo and very incognito. Plenty of areas that are out of the coordinated surveillance zones. Bottom line, Act like a respectable community member and not some dirty hair do skallywag who reeks of trouble and draws major attention to ones selves.

Eh, I never had any trouble with the coppers :noway2:, but I've also got 5 aceers of land to hunt for shrooms on. But they got nothin on me, the only magic mushrooms I've found is amanita muscaria.

Shouldn't be sketchy at all, I view it as simply being out in mother nature. Fuck the cops and those make make beautiful moments and exploration in the natural outdoor environment seem sketchy. One thing that I hate about the ridiculous drug laws on natural plants and fungi which both should be at least decriminalized and not labeled as a scheduled substance. Nobody can prove what you're doing. Maybe if you look like a hippie with long hair rocking a Nirvana shirt wandering through the woods and fields as high as a kite it's going to be suspicious, but other than that act normal and do your thing. No pressure

Kinda POWEROFPLANTS, but have you heard of stop and frisk? This can happen to anyone looking for psilocybe or other actives. Happened to me about 2 years ago. I was just diong my thing near a hiking trail. A cop drove by, stopped 20 yards away, backed his car up, asked what I was doing. When I told him I was out for a walk he exclaimed "IN THE WEEDS!?" They ran my license and screwed with my friend for a min. Then another patrol car came and tried to watch us but we both have a keen eye from hunting. If those cops had been slightly less retarded, they probably would have caught me holding a few boomers. My thing is even when you are on public land the cops still can fuck with you. Unless you have dealt with police tactics before, you could easily screw up your story, say something you shouldn't, self incriminate, etc. That's if you are only hunting boomers. What if you are hunting and you light a doobie? That thing is now a smell beacon of your criminal activity. I'm saying watch your ass and know your rights. Stay safe out there

Patriot act lets cops shake any body down for no reason. Stay alert,stay alive at all times. No when your trespassing and act accordingly. Keep pets on leash, no litter or cig butts left. Remain low profile. Act normal and not out of place. Remain calm when approached.

I find it hard to believe that a cop would interrogate some random individuals going for a hike unless there was definitely suspicion to believe they were hunting active mushrooms. Many people go for long walks and hikes through fields and the woods, families, teenagers, middle aged people, couples, it's a very common outdoor past time during the months when the weather is ideal.

I never understood how law enforcement would assume that an individual is looking for mushrooms or that they would really care if so. You can't prevent what grows out of the earth and law enforcement definitely have other issues to worry about. There are plenty of non active species and many people have a general interest in foraging and mycology so a cop shouldn't just assume the worst, although unfortunately some would do that just to fuck with somebody and it's sad really if they have nothing better to do. I believe it's due to the funny hippie reputation and cops just trying to take advantage of that stereotype if that's how you present yourself.

Either way if I was approached by law enforcement while going for a hike I'd definitely speak my rights. You legally don't have to talk to the police and they can't just search you without probable cause if I'm correct. It's a crazy world that we live in when there are people that are simply enjoying the nice weather outdoors that may be stopped and accused of hunting for majic mushrooms when that may not even be the case

Ive heard stories of cops camping out by the oregon coast, looking for pickers, as Adden described.

They "know" what the people look like who hunt shrooms down in obvious places like the coast.
