I've been working in the east bay area the past couple weeks but usually way too busy to do any looking around except when I'm in/around apartment complexes....

...There's been this one apartment complex that I've been delivering to a few days a week and felt that there just HAD to be a patch of allenii or cyans somewhere around there. But busy with work I haven't had the time to really look around much of the place.

Yesterday I was around a different part of the apartments and, just as I suspected, discovered a patch of allenii! About 1 square yard in size, spaced out single fruits and a few small clusters.


They were all starting to get past their prime tho, the edges/margins of the caps were starting to turn black/rot, there were a few I could have picked but I didn't even want to bother. I wish I would have found that patch a week ago. It was nice to find a new patch tho, satisfying since I really had a feeling there was a patch around there somewhere.

I checked on a few SF spots that had pins a week ago... they were all small and fried from the warm dry daytime weather.

One well irrigated spot had a few nice ones, I threw wet grass over the pins and left the one larger one (I might go back and pick it on Sunday otherwise I'll just let it sporulate).

I have them dehydrating on 7 (seven!) drying racks, with two big fans on full blast. I'll be going back today to get some more, and will try to take pictures that accurately show the scale of the flush.






FAK YEA BUD!! :rockon::rockon::rockon:

That's what I'm lookin for when I obsessively check these threads haha! All these pics of 3-5 mushrooms in a 'patch' were starting to bum me out.

Glad you're on the board big time for this season! Finds like that make it worth the hours of wandering with nothing to show. Just in time to play psychedelic santa haha!

Thanks man!

Here's my update on the big find. After harvesting 5 lbs from that monster patch, I went back each of the next two days and harvested a bit more. In total, I brought home approximately 8 lbs of fresh P. Allenii.

1 pound I'm setting aside for slurries/spore water, and will be spreading that all over Marin.

6.5 lbs has just finished dehydrating, and the yield (weighed this morning) is 250 dried grams. I did a taste test yesterday, only eating 0.4g, and holy crap these are unquestionably the most potent mushies I've ever seen.

In all, this year I've harvested about 285g of dried Allenii (with a small side of Cyans) from 6 total patches. This is the best mushie year I've ever had, by an order of magnitude.

I'll continue to update ya'll as I begin spreading spores throughout Marin!

Thank you, Whole Foods! :smile:




The final yield. Clothes pin added for size context.


Cheers, and happy hunting!

Enough to mess with a small village :lol:
On the other hand, enough for years if not decades for a single person.

Yeah, allenii is one hell of a beast :sunny:
0.75g under lemon juice can be a surprisingly wild ride :yesnod:

Went out last weekend looking for some landscaping near public markets, churches, shopping complexes but finally got lucky and found some cyans near the corporate offices, central bay area. I was looking for irrigated zones, but it is hard to find irrigated ones. This was right at an averagely crowded intersection, it was hard to chill around and wait for the traffic to go away. I am still wondering is there a rule of thumb to find an irrigated spot? May be corporate office folks keep their stuff wet but still...these little guys are sneaky. It took a while and a lot of walking to narrow down to these.

Nevertheless, happy to find my first woodlovers species

I've had good success finding cys in the dunes over the last couple of weeks. A new large patch I discovered this season continues to roll out fruits and it hasn't been found by other hunters yet. I've already collected enough medicine for the year with plenty extra for sharing. Feeling very grateful. Going to spend the rest of the season looking for new patches, leaving whatever I find. Also have a bunch of rotted cys I collected that I'll be making slurry with to spread among our NorHum/Del Norte spots.

Ate 2g of dried cys from this season recently and walked all day in old growth forest. Absolute bliss.

Happy hunting, everyone.

I was back at that same apartment complex this week delivering things....

After making a delivery I "got a feeling" that I should take a walk around a way that I haven't been yet in those apartments, and just as I felt so I found another patch of allenii running all along the stretch of the path I walked down.

They too are all well past their prime though, I picked only 3 individual mushrooms that were still "OK" just for the sake of picking a little something...But pretty much all of the fruits at that patch are already dried out and the edges of the caps are starting to rot (and they are all super tiny). It's been so damn warm and dry in the areas I've been working around east bay, up around 75+ some days. I can tell the dry conditions have essentially "stunted" and slowed down their growth, all the mushrooms are super tiny and drying out before they even got the chance to grow up.

But during a "good" proper season where we actually receive some precipitation and don't have such warm & dry days, I can tell those two patches will be big producers...So it's nice to know they're there.

Do they grow on beaches where the grass meets the beach and leads towards the woods?

Glad to hear you're finding them even away from your home environment, and on top of that: during work hours! How much better can it get? :sunny:

"Typewritermonkey, coastal dune habitat with grass and scattered lupine." - Metridium

There's two places I wanna look, around Pt Reyes dune area and as well as the local beach grass dune areas that are super close to me that are on the bay.  But I bet the coastal pt reyes area is a better bet.
