Awesome, thanks for the heads up. Iβll be keeping my eye out for sure. On a side note Iβll be trying the tea I made from the flush I found back in June either this Saturday or the next depending on how bad the rain is. Iβm stoked and hope Iβll finally get my psychedelic feet wet!

Hell yeah guys that give me hope! Iβm going to go out hunting tomorrow and most likely next week. Btw the tea I made definitely did what I wanted it to do. It was amazing. Iβm no longer a psychedelic virgin haha Still writing up the report but when Iβm done Iβll post a link here too in case anyone is curious. It was = to 101 grams fresh fruit.

This was early in the season (October 5 or so) where I normally hunt for G. subspectabilis. It's an early 20th-century neighborhood with a lot of current+former oak trees. Just over 1kg from this basketball-sized mass. Turned it into my strongest gym trip so far!
That looks like a nice flush! I didnβt know that Gymn was active, Iβm only really tuned into the subs. Whatβs your general location if you donβt mind me asking?

Iβm no gym expert, but those donβt really look like gyms to me. Mainly because Iβve found similar that definitely werenβt, and that veil fragment on the top left of the cap doesnβt look right to me. Gymns are part or the Cortinarius family, they have cobweb like veils. Though, take me with a grain of salt, wait for a more knowledgeable member to chime in.

Thinking about getting some wood chips and adding them to see if I can keep it growing, anyone try that and think it will work?
Iβd say itβs definitely worth a shot I found a 1 lb + flush on an old stump that was chewed up by a stump grinder (I assume). Fine chips essentially.


I also took a little less then a shopping bags worth of myc/chips/spawn and buried it in my backyard in a few spots that have old stumps/ root systems π€π»

Wanted to show off this monster 4 1/2lb flush a found a few weeks ago, along with the 1+lb flush from the above post and the tea making session that ensued!
(Only took the fresh flush shown with the sharpie, left the older flush to do its thing)







 Each set of cups is about 110 g. Fresh equivalent. Ended up with 24 full doses frozen and at the ready. (There is actually another 3 full doses that arenβt in the picture, forgot to pour the rest of the jug before I snapped the pic)

I love the hunt and finding the medicine in its natural habitat too, 24/7 head on a swivel for mushrooms. I like the fact that I can find so much that I could never use, and be able to give some to people who donβt have the knowledge to find their own.
Iβve absolutely put rotten ones on stump ect too in hopes to expand my spots. I was definitely that excited when I found these haha. Funny thing is it was along a busy roadβ¦even funnier that NO BODY else knows that these are what they are haha, my little secret. Some guy walking his dog even dropped the βfun-giβ joke as I was harvesting these π
