Southeast Texas hunting
    #25808911 - 02/12/19 09:36 PM (5 years, 2 months ago)

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

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!

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

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.

No reason to be embarassed, that’s an easy enough mistake to make. Latin names make fools of all of us somewhere along the line, part of the reason they are so much more fun than the common names.

Before I joined, I was attempting to make my own field guide from researching ebooks and guides for my area with a small notepad I could take with me on hunts but I'm terribly unorganized so I realized I might miss identify something without consulting others with more experience. I noticed that I mislabeled some of my descriptions because of the confusing Latin terms. It's a dead language for a reason, everyone who communicated in Latin died from eating poisionous mushrooms with confusing names.

I was wondering if those dried ones I thought were dried cubes are possibly Pluteus? Any input?

those do not look active at all.  maybe Stropharia,  or photostropharia spieces maybe.  hard to tell when they're old and rotting.

No, this looks like a pluteus species, the gills are pink from spores.

Thanks a bunch. I'm probably going out almost every night for the next week or so. I appreciate everything everyone has helped me with, hopefully I can do the same for someone else one day.

We will be happy to help you identify your finds, the more you hold in your hand, the more you learn in my opinion. You should get in the habit of smelling and even tasting your finds, just don't swallow any,  spit and rinse.

I had terrible luck tonight, I used a different carrying container that kept opening in my bag squishing all my findings. My flashlight went out and I had to use my phone screen to see. My friend said I could use his uncle's field which was true... before my friends brother told Uncle about my Jewish father and sister. Said he didn't want the Jew girl near his cattle because IDK uh...I'll Jew up the cows and they'll start complaining about the weather who knows so I had to act fast without good lighting and a container that kept opening in my satchel. Here's a collage of what I found all found on dung no cubes I think but the ones with black gills are interesting they're staining my hands black other than that no prints yet. I got anything?

Youve found a few p cubsensis.
Important advice:  it looks like you pulled the mushroom up from the patty, as I can see debris at the base of the stem.

You do not want to do that. Use scissors when you hunt, there should be a clean cut and about a half inch or so of undisturbed stem emerging out of the patty.  When you pull the mushroom out it destroys the mycelium and the patty stops producing.

Your mushroom stems should look like this:

Oh crap I don't want to mess up my new spot thanks for the advice.
Which ones are cubes exactly? I found one a couple weeks ago and didn't look like these. I'm still learning, what feature from which pictures indicate cubes? I know it got cold last night maybe that's what changed the appearance? Lol I just posted the black one starting a new thread it has/had me very curious I couldn't figure it out

The ones with the lighter in the pic.  The bigger one looks weird and distorted but it's almost certainly P cubensis, and the smaller one is definitely a pin of p cubensis.  In another day or three it would have opened up and been much bigger.

You've also found what look like some active pan cyans.  These are more potent and taste MUCH less disgusting than cubes, but finding them amidst the oceans of inactive pan species you'll find is a bit harder which is why I mostly just hunt cubensis unless I see a really obvious pan cyan.  These look just like the inactive pans except the color is grayish yellow and of course they bruise blue, in fact pan cyans are so potent they eventually bruise black.

Basically you need to wait for a day where it rains pretty much all day and remains humid once the rain pulls out for a few days after that.  Then the pastures will produce cubes like gangbusters.  You can hunt in the meantime and you'll have some scattered success, but the real good harvests come with the spring rains and humidity.  I'm thinking your area of Texas has a climate similar to me and that has been my experience here.  It won't be long before you find guys like this on a regular basis:



When that happens, don't be like me and make yourself immune to psilocybin.  That mushroom in that picture didn't even give me a buzz.  Once every two weeks, once a week if you want to push it.  Any more often than that and you'll be wasting tremendous amounts of good product

I've been hunting almost a month now got a couple cubes grinded up stored away was just waiting for enough for me and my husband both as he's never shroomed before and it's been about 6 years for me. That's why I'm being so thorough, for his sake really. I want him to have a great experience with me. It's gonna be a bonding experience. Once we get that out of the way I'll probably cut it down to once or twice a year maybe. Back when I did them with any regularly, once a month at the most. It's a spiritual thing for me like going to church for folks like me who would rather shit a cactus than go to an actual church.

Are we sure that's a cyan? How sure? Any look alikes that would harm us? That would be amazing if it's actually a cyan! Never thought I'd actually find one

Definitely not positive that’s a blue meanie.  As has been posted before, it is much harder to identify dried mushrooms than fresh.  The caps of some of your finds just have that deep dark blue that is characteristic of pan cyans.  I don’t believe inactive pans are harmful but I find hunting pans to be more trouble than it’s worth, at least in my field, especially given the abundance of cubes it produces.

One more thing to keep in mind, the conventional wisdom of an eighth being the standard recreational dose is based on indoor cultivated mushrooms which tend to be stronger.  Based on my experience with wild harvested p cubensis it takes at least 5 grams to get me anywhere even remotely good.  And if you underdose you’re stuck for a couple weeks because of tolerance.

You could always go to Amsterdam and sample the truffles there safely and legally too.  But I don’t think Amsterdam is a good environment for experiencing shrooms.

I started a thread about a week ago about not being permitted access to a field because I was neurvous and my story was dumb I just over thought the whole thing. There's a beautiful field I always wanted but the ranchers brother lives there too and he's a sheriff...no way ever! Or so I thought.

An idea popped into my head, that field IS unusually beautiful..and I used to take art classes at the community college, I'll just ask if I can sketch the pond and the field from a couple of different angles so I can paint it at home we're learning landscape's. The sheriff answered at the gate! I'm smooth criminal and sweet and I dunno...artsy sounding. I pull off art student way better than biology student. It's more natural I'm not neurvous at all plus I'm really gonna sketch it. He said sure they don't mind askes if maybe I'll show him the finished painting and I say "if I get enough courage to show anyone besides my husband." He laughs wished me good luck take your time. Im floored, I go to the back of the field doodle a little and I raided one patty. Just one I'm not gonna rape this beautiful field. Maybe they'll let me on again someday. Anyway here's my haul. Someone let me know if any of these don't look like cubes.



My question is, if it's been a few years for me and 1st time for my husband would that be enough if I say, did a lemon tek?

Way to stay after it Lady!:hatsoff:

Having the little bit of truth(being that you actually were gonna doodle)in there helps the story flow with more conviction.  Pretty soon you'll have more fields to hunt than you could shake a bundle of sticks at :biggrin:

They look like cubes to me, Im no TI. I always find cubes growing in the damndest places though, shoeboxes, monotubs :shrug: Never found one in a field.

As far as if thats enough for y'all to trip on. Weigh em if you can, that way you can have an idea of how much your ingesting and go from there.

Good luck and continued success!

What you have in the picture there looks like about half a dose for me.  I’m guessing that’s about 20 wet grams

Important advice:  it looks like you pulled the mushroom up from the patty, as I can see debris at the base of the stem.

You do not want to do that. Use scissors when you hunt, there should be a clean cut and about a half inch or so of undisturbed stem emerging out of the patty.  When you pull the mushroom out it destroys the mycelium and the patty stops producing.

Your mushroom stems should look like this:







it makes no difference picking them or cutting. very little mycelium will come off.  the organism lives within the ciw shit.  pulling them out will not kill the mycelium.

Plus maybe a half gram dried up and grinded from one I found a couple weeks ago. I was thinking about doing the lemon juice soak too so I'm theorising if we split it given its been 6 years for me and my husband a 1st timer, we'll feel pretty good but nothing too intense. I could be wrong. My first time was a huge Golden caps biggest I've ever seen and soaking wet. I didn't pay attention to 1st time doses lol. But I'm an adult now and I want him to have a good time

WHAT you’ve collected so far is barely enough for one person.  If you divide it in half you’ll both most likely only barely break out of microdose territory

Don't eat any of those mushrooms in your pictures,  they are not edible and will most likely make you sick.

Edit: if they don't turn to powder after drying they will be fine, but they are past their prime to eat fresh.

That's freshly picked


I am drying and grinding them so we can wait until we both have a free day to consume them.

This is a mixed collection, I see 1 on the far right top the cap is against the side of the dish,  it appears to have brown/brownish gills. Is that correct?.


The cubes look good in this picture, the pictures I saw earlier in the thread were old and logged, not all but some.
