This is my first post on this forum. I can here to say thanks to Bobbit:

My advice is read the entirety of last years official thread.
If you don’t have the patience to read, ya won’t have the patience to hunt. . .
(In summary, wood chip beds, wood chip beds and wood chip beds. . .)
I followed the advice, and got up to page 24 of last year's thread. After over two weeks of searching, today I braved the rain here in Palmerston North, and discovered this little patch. I left many of the younger ones in the ground.
If I could give any advice to any newcomers, it would be that this is a formula. Follow it, and you will eventually succeed. If you've been following it to a tee but not finding anything, then try new spots.

I’d also say to newcomers, which I am to some degree, know what your hunting and it’s habitat but furthermore study what to do after you do find your first patch, I.e not picking it dry, picking open caps and in my case I fucked up because I hadn’t thought about what to do once I brought them home. Learn how to dry them and be prepared cause I sure wasn’t. 100% focused on the hunt. If you can get a dehydrator that’s the winner I’m told, I’m using the baked Epsom salt as a desiccant at the moment so hopefully I can get them cracker dry, not really in a spot to take any trips right now if you bring home a massive haul you’re probably not gonna he able to eat them all so yeh be prepared.

That's a really good point. I hadn't even considered 'the next step' because I was honestly beginning to lose hope of ever finding anything active. I've got mine sitting in a muslin bag over the dehumidifier at the moment, to dry out as quickly as they can. Also got one cap making a spore print, just so I can photograph it as a souvineir of my first find. Might have to do the epsom salts trick next.
Like you, I'm not really in a position to trip at the moment. I got 45g fresh today, so there's more than one sitting's worth in there for me.

Hey glitchboi my advice for drying - (and I am also pretty new to this)- if you don't have a dehydrator, is to break them up so long as you're not too attached to them keeping their mushroom form. I break the caps up into small segments like a mandarin and split the stems longways get as much surface area as possible. I had a bit of trouble getting them cracker dry so once they're pretty dry from being in front of a fan for a day or two I get a 2L gopala yogurt container (anything airtight should do) pour in some damp rid and cover with several layers of newspaper, mushrooms go on top. Really helps suck the last of the moisture out.

Nice finds by the way, I had a few weeks of searching with no luck to begin with, but once I got my eye in they kept popping out at me....

Thanks for the props. . . Just giving what I (usually) get here 
Drying 101. . . Psilocybin is stable enough to make tea @100°C so using heat to dry is fine below that.
Splitting mushrooms in halves reduces drying times dramatically. If you Don’t mind split dry mushrooms, hold your fruit by the base, split and pull. . . Should halve the cap when the split gets there. . .
If you have an oven, on baking paper (can be reused by hippies), on an oven tray, lay out mush (a few overlaps are fine) on 50°C, on ‘fan’ bake, with door open overnight. . .
Wait till cracker dry, store airtight, no sunlight, can last for years. . .

Excellent info in terms of the 50°C, ‘fan’ bake - is that a cracker dry 1 stop solution? Sounds easy!
Apologies for the hijack

It was exactly what I needed at exactly the right time when I read that post of yours last night. I was literally reading every post from 2019 line by line. I guess the universe got the hint that I was serious about finding these little gems, and gave me an early present at page 24.

These subs were at the smaller end of the scale, for sure. I had been wandering around expecting to find 5cm caps with 8cm stems everywhere. I was even expecting the babies to be a lot bigger. I have always had the sense that once I'd seen one in real life, I'd have no trouble spotting them again. I've had a few false finds this week of larrys, but today after finding that patch, I saw a larry and it looked as red as anything. In my head, I said "fuck you larry" as I walked quickly past it.
I did notice a lot more smaller mushrooms in the grass on the way, so I'm thinking that it's just been too dry here to really bring out the goods. It was raining as I took that pic. I decided I'd show the world how committed I am to this - even stood in a deep puddle of water at one stage. Was great to be able to hunt without worrying about who might see.
It's wet for the next couple of days, and going to cool down too, so I'll be back out hunting for sure.
Cheers for the advice on drying, guys. I gotta say, I'm impressed at just how quickly these things are drying out on the dehumidifier. It's only been a couple of hours and they are already making scratching noises against the bag. I do realise that they need to be crispy dry, however.

Added ‘cracker dry’ to my post. . .
Be aware that ‘fresh is best’ if you want your world to melt. . . That there come-up is soooo intense. . .
