Panaeolus cyanescens questions and rumours

Hey Shroomery
Long time visiter but finally glad to have set up an account and broaden my knowledge. I have recently begun foraging for P.cyanescens in my local cattle fields which I've been told that they do grow in. I've also seen confirmation on a thread of someone showing off a haul from this location. All my ventures out there so far have been unsuccessful, the field is absoloutly littered with P.antillarum but no cyanescens seem to be around. Just wondering if both sub species require different temperatures to fruit? Nights have still been hanging around the 28c - 30c mark.
There's also the rumour that the farmers have sprayed pesticides to stop "shrooms" growing there but the fact that P.antillarum is abundant makes me doubt this? Could it be a possibility or just people trying to protect their spot?
Anyways thanks and I look forward to learning more

The good old farmer spraying the fields rumor, haha! I used to be told that back in the day, so I would stay out of the fields.
No farmers are going to spray any pesticides in their fields to prevent mushrooms from growing, that is 100% impossible to do, and pointless.
Psychoactive mushrooms don't grow in any and every livestock pasture either. I have picked cubes from a field before that was loaded,and right down the street in another adjacent field no active shrooms ever grew in all the years that I checked.
I ran into lots of shroomless fields when I reside back in Florida, and it's not because they were over-picked, or sprayed with pesticides, it was just because they just didn't grow in that particular field, plain and simple!
Also, Copelandia cyanescens were more rare in my part of Florida and I only found them in one field the whole 12 years that I resided there, and even then, you would only find a handful compared to the pounds of cubes that you could get. So, you could just have a field where they don't naturally grow yet, or you need to give it more time.
Are you certain that Copes were actually found from your field?

If you are certain you're on the right spot, maybe the field was ravaged by hungry mushroom hunters. They ate all the shroomies before you.

My pan cyans grow in the same area where pan antillarum grow and can often be found the same day. My pan cyans are more active in shady areas where it gets very wet and the grass is often uncut
The pan antillarum are like a warning flag reminding of the dangers that lurk in the shadows and beasts that rule the wild

There's a couple fields in the general vicinity. Will be giving another one a go tonight. P.cyanescens is the only species we get in my part of the word and from what I have gathered, they do indeed grown in the fields. I think persistence will be my friend.

1st off, are you sure that they even grow in your area? What is your general location?

Can confirm they do grow in the field opposite the one I have been hitting. Northern Australia. Thanks for your input guys,
