The first big patch I found was about 7g dry, 3 years ago. They sat for 2 days before entering a dehydrator. I ended up eating 4g dry and hardly felt a thing, still tripped but was close to a light 1g cubesnsis. The next year, from the same spot, I took a dry gram before going to sleep and had a heavy experience. Very colorful. Potency seems to be weird in these, I hope to find the most optimal way of drying these eventually. There's definitely something to be said about handling, drying and light exposure after picked.

Over the past 3 weeks I've made 3 trips to a spot that looked promising in northern DE. Found it on Google Maps based on the shape of the path of the water- I didn't have much time during my first visit but I did find box elders everywhere.
My second trip proved fruitful! In my excitement I didn't take pictures as these were my first finds ever but here is my huge haul:

Found a few others that I left behind:
 
Some other cool things I saw on this trip:
   
Am I correct to assume this will be a jackpot in coming years?

From my third trip:

 Found this small patch but they didn't seem right- stems seemed too thin and fragile.
 This one was a maybe, left it behind in an abundance of caution. Looking back, I wish I had kept it. :P
Other stuff I saw:

Maybe, all that debris may also be in another location after the next big rain

That debri pile got there by high water from a flood. Floods are seasonal where I live so chances are it'll be gone next year. Everything gets switched around when your hunting in a floodplain.

You'd likely have better luck in the surrounding grasses then directly on the debris piles themselves. That particular photo shows lots of skunk cabbage which usually indicates the wrong habitat.

Deirbs piles are great, the jackpot ones are left by big floods but high enough off the water that they wont get washed away by smaller floods. Picked a ton off of tge deirbs piles with help from a friend. Im surprised the snow and cold weather killed all tge knotweed but the mushrooms are doing just fine.

Nice finds!! Glad to see your getting into the clusters.

It may or may not produce or, like others have said, even be there next yr. If it doesn't get moved and is colonized then yes it'll probably throw out some good clusters. You can help it along, if your unsure about whether or not it's colonized, by placing stem butts or other culture throughout it this yr and hope it's still there in a yr or 2.

I've found lots of ovoids hiding under skunk cabbage. The only important factor in wild habitat is Box Elder. Sometimes there are patches of skunk cabbage in box elder groves because they love wet spots and flood plains are full of wet spots. It's a pain to look thru tho.

Yeah skunk cabbage isn’t necessarily bad, but it certainly is veering into a less than ideal habitat.
Debris piles really need to be the ones that are created in the kinds of flooding that only happens every couple years.

DC doesn't have wetlands like this. The ones I found appeared to be a little old on a riverbank.

Do you suffer any paralysis from 4g or similar? I had approx 30g fresh last night (prob 2.2-2.6g dry equivalent) and definitely thought I could go higher, but experience with high doses of other wood lovers makes me cautious.

I'm guessing you're referring to harvest size here. Have you experienced varied potency from year to year? And if so how does this year compare?

I'll say that it was definitely intense....more so the come up. But after 1.5-2 hours the trip became very pleasurable and along with some intense visuals, my thoughts all seemed to be connected by the patterns I was observing and it felt I was learning secrets about our universe...
The only thing similar to paralysis I experienced was during the come up when I was still a bit anxious...my breathing was slowed and the anxiety was manifesting itself in unpleasant thoughts, but as I said, once I was totally comfortable, the trip became wonderful.

nice haul last night



I believe it is important to note, due to the very cold temperatures in PA last night, I saw a massive amounts of pins who were completely blue and mature caps who were crinkling out.
I am lucky because I got to harvest hundreds and hundreds of aborts but I am also wondering if anybody can give insight into how cold spells like these affect the season.

Are ovoids the same as cubes when it comes to harvesting? As in when the veil drops, the potency doesn't increase, only the mass does?
