Psilocybe cyan in Santa Barbara Ca 1

Please tell me these are what I think they are...
Purple brown spore print. Semi gelatinous pellicle. Strong blue bruising. These were found in a small cluster under ferns in a home garden/landscaping.
There I was working away. Cleaning up after a long week and picking up some trash out of the bushes on our job site. I stooped down to grab a piece of wood under some ferns and low and behold... there in the bushes I had been checking for weeks, Mother Nature decided to pop THIS out for me to find.

Yep Psilocybe Cyanescens, noticable blue bruising, purple brown gills from spore deposit, chalk white stems. Good job but wait for a TI.

Thanks Zen. I’m still fairly new to this so any active I come across no matter how weak or potent is a fun find but this was so.. out of the blue 🤣 I was just looking at everyone’s posts about their cyan finds thinking “how cool is that. Wow how lucky I would be” literally this morning while I was getting ready for work.

Awesome stuff. Didn't you find allenii in socal too earlier this season? Anyway, good luck spreading them. SB does have a ton of great spots.
You should try to get them going on cardboard and use that to get yourself a wood chip pot going. Then you can use those chips to spawn a ton of new patches around socal too.

Well I found what I thought to be ovoids earlier in the season. They only fruited once so far but the mycelium has been planted and is taking off since our current rain we had! It was perfect timing. The original spot is smelling strongly of that good ovoid smell
I’m hoping to revisit this spot in the future and get some more in situ photos. This one had too many sensitive people around to be taking photos. The whole thing was kind of hilarious as I had the whole crew “looking for more trash in the bushes”

Oh yeah, it was the ovoids I'm thinking of. And I like your style using the crew. Assuming you're in landscaping or something similar, it'll be funny when all your customers have ovoids and cyans popping up in their gardens.

I am a carpenter lol. Let’s just say a few people have been second hand educated and there are some really great people and places out here if you know where to look.

Awesome. There have been some cyan finds in SB in the past. I am in LA but have 30 yrs of picking experience in the PNW. Feel free to PM me if you want any tips on getting that mycelium going or spreading them around.

Nice find down there !
I was born in & grew up in Santa Barbara/SB county.
I know it's not unheard of to find them that far south but it's not all that common either, pretty cool .
That's a good looking specimen too.
