Southeast Texas hunting
    #25808911 -

I am pretty new to hunting and I noticed that there aren't many active threads for my area and I would like to discuss with others about their findings and tips for hunting in SE Texas. Does anyone have any advice for hunting this time of year? What have anyone else found lately?

Seems like SE texas would be infested with cubes and Pan cyans. Probably just not many hunters, so more for you. I'd be looking for cow poop and scoping habitats in the FL actives thread.

Since most land in TX is private I use google earth to find accessable places. I.E. If you can see pics of cows crossing dirt roads you know theres no fences.. It helped me find fields that I could get to that I wouldnt have to worry about trespassing.

Ive "heard" Houston and East of there is loaded with Cubes and Pans..

I actually just moved next to a cow pasture thats pretty huge, no worries about trespassing, has plenty of trees and grass and even a stream going through it, sounds perfect right? Well I haven't found anything active yet ( I think ) and I figured it wasn't the right time of year. I live near plenty of woods but I'm going to stick with dung loving fungus until I get better at ID. I have some pics of my funds so far and I'll include my wood loving mushrooms just for shits and giggles.

These 2 pics are of the only ones I have found in dung they are very young, too young for a print


These pics are of an interesting orange fella next to some poo. What my crappy phone camera doesn't show is the greenish color of the gills

The rest of the mushrooms found in the pasture growing near poo





these guys were found in some grass with pine needles under some pine trees in the yard they had white prints so no good I think
Sorry about the quality of the pictures and for some reason 5he the mushrooms from the pasture aren't giving me any prints

Thank you! I read that some are active all year around here

There’s definitely a couple of actives out right now. I had some luck finding pan cyans and cubes at my field. The weather was perfect, lot of misting/rain the previous week and cloudy skies. I don’t think it got too cold to where it killed the mycelium, but they aren’t producing as much either. Goodluck hunting!

Should I look for wood loving mushrooms or not even bother? I've read that they are harder to identify

My guess is you'll start looking for wood lovers when you get the hang of hunting in the pastures.
Success is maybe the best inspiration you can get, and when you first get into mushroom hunting
you'll be eager to find out more and more.

The second best inspiration you can get, in my opinion, is partaking in this forum, getting feeback
from other members, and seeing other members finds.

Not even bother.  You're not going to find any wood loving actives down there besides gyms and I don't think you want those in your mouth.

Focus on Pans and cubes like people are saying, you'll get the hang of it.

Are all mushrooms found in cow dung psychoactive? If not, what are some other kinds found in dung? Are some fields just not active? Or if I look hard enough will I eventually always find something? Also is there a good guide available with some common look a likes? Any info would be super duper!

That's what I thought. Although I do enjoy my little treks through the woods in my search, I don't want to ingest anything toxic.

Not all mushrooms found in dung are psychoactive. For instance panaeolus foenisecii, antillarum and papilionaceus are some of the most common nonactive mushrooms I find. I’m not sure if all fields are active but once you get the hang of hunting you’ll be finding actives like crazy. It took me awhile before I found my first active and now I find them like crazy! If you find one look around the surrounding area and you’ll more than likely find another. It’s also a good idea to return to areas that have produced before once you find them.

Wow super helpful! Are there specific areas within a field to look for? I'm guessing partly shady or by trees, is this right? This field is HUGE and I would like to know what direction to head to first?

Yes, unless its rainy and overcast for extended periods youll find them all over.  or near creeks running through or low laying lands that hold lots of fog/condensation youll see in the mornings

So I'm nearly 100% sure I have found 2 young cubes in the field I frequent. And 2 others I'm having a hard time IDing.

The 4th and 5th pictures are completely unknown to me and the last picture is the best one I could get with my cheap phone. None are really giving me prints perhaps i haven't waited long enough. Again sorry for the picture quality

Top row is psilocybe cubensis

2nd row 1st picture I don't know, 2nd picture looks like pieces from a psilocybe cubensis.

Now that I have done a little more research I am wondering if any of these are older cubes? Again I'm having trouble getting a print

Those last ones are reminiscent of dried cubes, but the colors seem off.

Nice work finding cubes already though

I based my theory on several images including this one from The Psilocybe Mushroom Image Guide.
the labeled one is of course from the guide while the others are my collection

Many different mushrooms look similar after drying. Plus, those are cyans in the guide pic - not cubes. I've seen a lot of dried cubes, but I still can't guarantee these are cubes.
