Found some Fly Agaric at a Xmas tree farm in Sonoma County. Go figure. Really beautiful mushroom

The amanitas are such a pretty mushroom.  I'm looking forward to the next couple weeks of hunting.  Found some more cyans today, no pics, but I'll take some next time I'm there as I left some and the conditions are pretty ideal right now here in the city.

First find for me in GGP.  No in situ pics because it was not a very private location so I did a quick grab and scoot.

Nice! I found some in GGP today as well.

I want to cultivate the stem bases. I tried last year with cardboard without great success. Are egg cartons any better to use?

Those look pretty good too.


That's probably the best finds I can remember someone posting from GGP in a while lol. I often wonder how many heads are actually hunting there and how over-picked patches are in GGP.

It is like the classic place folks in the city think of when it comes to hunting for actives lol....or even beyond the city lol, I hear about folks driving from many mile away just to hunt GGP specifically lol (likely newbs that don't know these mushrooms can be found all over the central/northern part of the state).

In my mind I always figure it's over-picked, but the place is so damn big and with so many nooks & crannies and so many prime habitats around I imagine there's always something to find for anyone determined.

I don't live in the city but I love that park...I've never been there during the active season or done any hunting there, but every time I have been there I see so many totally prime habitats for woodlovers all over the place. (not to sound like I'm hyping the place, since I reside in the valley basically anytime I go to the bay area I see tremendously more prime habitats out there than I do around here).

Check out this thread>>>>

https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24673753/fpart/413

It is the woodlover cultivation thread, lots of info and chit chat about cultivating woodlovers, I feel asking about that in that thread is more fitting and you'll get more replies/info about such.

Cardboard and egg carton can both work for getting mycelium to expand from stem butts/creating spawn...I've had success and failure with both lol.










It is quite MOIST out there after that soaking :sporedrop: :shroompick:

Small patch during stroll [Re: openmind]
    #27581676 -

Was out for a stroll and spotted a small patch.
Mainly dropping by to say ‘Hi’ this season!

It also looks like it was there before the recent rains - so they’re out there!  Hoping the recent precipitation will help for myco and the general water supply.  Haven’t been able to hunt to much this year - but hoping to get some in between the holidays.

Thanks OM,
You should see them now lol, twice as large and starting to turn brown yet still not rotting yet.
This location always surprises me every year. I might drive by again today with the camera we shall see.

    #27582340 -

Yeah.  Those allenii look great! 

Here’s some pins from the same spot in GGP as yesterday. 



I also got a couple cyans in a random spot in GGP.  Weird that there were only two but maybe, likely, I’m not the first hunter on the scene there.  That being said I’ll be keeping an eye on that location. 

Season should be in full swing.  Got another spot I’ll be checking this weekend that had some really great fruits a month back.  I bet it’s full flush now.

Re: Post rain GGP [Re: openmind]

hey OM, yeah I think GGP is aggressively hunted and I pretty much had given up the idea of finding anything in there at all.  However, once I became aware of this "sport" I started getting very acquainted with the detail of the park.  And then I really started getting into the minutia of all the things around me that grow and I really think this is one of the more rewarding aspects of hunting the park and indeed mushroom hunting in general.  It is less fun hunting the more urban areas (unless you get a big haul!).   

Oddly, the find from yesterday didn't require any deep corner knowlege and in fact was found within 30 seconds of entering the park and was anything but private.  In fact I was walking past that area with a friend a couple months back and pointed at that spot and said I think this would be a possible location.  Sure enough!  I bet I looked rather suspicious harvesting those guys, but I was very quick about it. 

Still haven't seen allenii and I had thought those might be the first ones that I might encounter.  They seem to get pretty big compared to the cyans I've been finding.  Still, I've had a pretty good season so far and it's about to explode!!!

That’s awesome you’ve been finding them in GGP. I’ve been looking there a lot the past few weeks but nothing I could confidently ID although I’ve been finding a lot of lookalikes!

I checked on a huge 3 mile long patch that I made about 15 years ago. Both cyans and Allen's are producing nicely. Mainly cyans now. But look at these? Are these lower 3 or 4 ovoids? More chunky than cyans.

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

those do look pretty weird for cyans.  You just get lucky and ovoids join your 3 mile party?

Nice finds tahoe, I think they are chunky allenii although with the early rain and then heat wave ZenZone found some great ovoid flushes in the central valley.

Chuck, I did go back for more shots but the area was way too busy for the purpose
(you might remember from last year, and the year before: the Taco Bell drive thru)

How awesome is that!
Nice to see you popping in Tahoe!







On another note, I found a new patch tadday. (Central Valley)
Most of them were gigantic but unfortunately most of them were too far gone,
black, rotten, frost bitten. But, there were a few worthy of harvest:
