SoCal ---> Bay Area Question?
    #26388063 - 12/18/19 03:49 AM (4 years, 1 month ago)

Living in Los Angeles County is getting old as far as finding Psilocybes goes. However i'm not currently in a financial position where as i can up and move. Then again i'm not working thursday, so i'm thinking i should drive up to the Bay area tomorrow night. i have sorta chosen Oakland to be my 1-day psilo-hunting destination.

Then again, i haven't been to the Bay area since 1988 i think when I saw the Dead in Mountain View. This is directed to Bay area residents primarily: is Oakland a good place to go or is a different suburb a much better choice?

other possibilities are: San Francisco, San Mateo, Redwood City, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Milpitas, Fremont, Hayward, Alameda, Berkeley or ???

i am leaving in about 5 hours. i understand that's not a lot of time for advice, but having autism gives me lots of issues--including difficulties planning...

any and all advice, help and ideas is appreciated. i will post how i do later.

NOTE: i am not asking for specific hunting spots or anything of that nature which would cause this post and myself to run afoul of the bylaws and rules of the Shroomery. i am only asking for broad advice or generalities; i.e., like "Hayward would be better due to the Micro-climate there keeps higher humidity..."

Berkeley wouldn't be a bad choice.

Thank you Anglerfish and Alan--i appreciate your input. After seeing these i went through Google Maps and MO and on the maps i marked small suburban parks, hospitals [they always seem to have wood mulch--at least down here they do], some of the Bay area trails and some mini-malls and the like and some assorted fast food mongers. i tried to stick with the little parks that seemed landscaped. I know Alan has a great many MO Observations from apartment landscaping but it was hard to identify black, brown or red mulch around the buildings via the online pictures. i plan on keeping an extra vigilant eye when passing any to make up for.

One question that popped up for me is are the green areas immediately adjacent to the bay / salt water still viable Psilocybe habitat or does the salt prevent their growth. I know thaty they grow near the ocean, but I'm asking about right up to the water's edge, like in Berekely Marina for example.

Thank you much once again and I'll post how i do later.

Found a cyan patch along the berkeley marina walkway. Immediately behind the hotel. I don't live there anymore, regardless don't mind sharing. That was in 2016, so the lifespan of an urban colony comes into question. If you're still looking, hope this helps. Also, the citizen science app, iNaturalist, has a few reported observations in Los Angeles.

in nature, i know our best cow field for cubes growing up had not had cows in it for over 10 years, and a new field a couple miles up the road that had lots of cows never had cubes, for years. but now, i hear both fields grow cubes.

by having controlled artificial conditions focused on optimizing yields and compressing a multi year cycle down into 2 months, we are able to grow much "better" mushrooms than nature. but it makes me wonder about some of the other ways this artificial lifecycle differs from nature, and how these differences might affect our projects

its funny that with all our research and interest in cubes, we dont even know their lifespan in the wild! (or at least i dont, hopefully someone will share)
