San Francisco.  Went out for short lunch walk and found a few cyans. 

Bugs or slugs had their way with one of them. 



They are out there but probably in the best micro climates.

If previous El Niño seasons are any indication this season could be a banger!!!  Happy hunting everyone.

It’s my early bird spot close to where they first found me.  Also happens to be in my neighborhood.  Found in the first 5 mins of the “hunt”.  For me that solid white stem is the assurance.  Goes from it could be to it definitely is at first grab.  I left a pin.  I’m certain there are others.  We got some sky juice so I bet things kick off nicely.  I got a good feeling about this season.

A few more wavy caps near the same place as the others.  And some shaggy parasols from Golden Gate Park.

Overall not a lot going on but they can be found.  Micro climates are the name of the game.

Getting off to an early start in Sacramento too. Only one small area of a known patch has any activity at the moment. Hopefully it’s a good season, good luck out there!

Man I checked if this thread was up yet, and of course I'm already behind.

Hoping to find the newly-minted Ps. aquamarina this season, but not very hopeful with my luck. I have the opposite of instincts for these things, I couldn't find hay in a haystack.

If anyone needs me for the next 4 months I'll be continuously fruitlessly checking the 2 spots I found by blind chance last year, like the dog checking the magic pie bush.

Do you use "shaggy parasol" to refer to Coprinus? I usually heard it for Chlorophyllum, and "shaggy mane" for these

I thought these were Chlorophyllum species.  Did I get wrong?  I haven’t been back so I haven’t seen them open.

Cool to see there are already some early season fruits being found out there! I was just thinking a week or so ago, "I wonder if the Bay area/norcal actives thread is happening yet".... Posting mostly so I remember to follow this thread....


I haven't done any proper hunting for woodlovers yet this time around and haven't checked on any of the few patches I know of in my neighborhood/area, though I've def been getting my "mushroom eyes" back in action and scanning the ground/garden beds whenever I'm out & about.

It's been a relatively warm & dry fall so far up here on the far north coast/Humboldt, though the wet stuff is falling at the moment and looks like we'll get a good soaking later this week. Been seeing various mushroom species popping up over the last couple months though.

I started two mushroom pots last spring, one allenii & one cyan, the cyan pot started to fruit over a month ago back around the last week of September...a cluster of 3 mushrooms, two of the mushrooms were 2g dry each and I got around 4.6g dry from just 3 mushrooms! (2g dry is the largest woodlover I've come across so far, previously it was 1.3g with allenii I found years ago)....I spotted another pin forming in the cyan pot yesterday.

I'll be getting out to check on my known patches and do a bit of hunting in the next week or two.


Happy hunting y'all, curious to see how things go this time around!...From up here on the north coast down to the bay and through out the inland valleys :mushroomgrow:.
