Yeah dude, lame. Don't lie about finding mushrooms. It doesn't help the community learn anything. Except when people call your bullshit, then we learn that some people even lie on anonymous message boards.

Yeah I hate it when people lie about finding mushrooms or anything and then find a picture on a internet site and claim they took the picture. Its fucking lame.

I live a little ways up the coast in bc cyans grow wild EVERYWHERE!!!!! at every school, in back yards, on the side of the road, in the ditch. You sometimes find dogs all fukt up cuz they accidentally ate em. They seem to like blackberries and alders. They really like the alders though, every big patch iv found is right in an alder forest. If you can find blackberries around an alder bush you are set. They are just pinning up right now, so as soon as they are looking good ill see if i can get some pics. If you ever find a big patch...transplant it if you have the room. Dig about 6" under and around the mycelium. Plant it in a hole you have dug in your yard. Be very careful when transplanting. I did this early last year, the shrooms stopped growing for a couple weeks, but after that they sprouted up all over the place!!!! And during the summer i took some alder chips, steamed them to saturate them, and covered the patch in them, kept it wet everyday and 3 weeks later the chips were covered in mycelium. They are just pinning now and i cant wait to see my yeild. And the best part is no one else will find them, so you can let them get nice and big.

garbage bags full? real stuff? in a ditch? alder forests? tripping dogs? it's great when new users come in here making big claims and make no attempt to back them up other than talking a bunch of bullshit to each other... yeh, we all will take your word(s) for it... but i found 3 wet tons of cyans growing hydroponically on a bunch of floating alder logs in the middle of lake washington last night and there were a bunch of salmon eating them and swimming around tripping so I didn't even get all of them, damn I'm a badass shroom-picking motherfucker and seattle has more shrooms than all the other places in the world combined times 112. sorry, no pics .

I hope you dont eat those dude, they are probobly just a common psythrella or agrocybe. Post a picture because if you ingest those thinking they are libertys before one of us can determine, you'll have a GOOD (considering you found them in "sidewalk grass") chance of throwing your insides up out of both ends.

None of those are magic. I'm pretty sure i've seen every one of those in the woods, in Seattle. Besides, psilo is very rare in the woods. Its not as DANK of a habitat as wood chips, pastures, prepared lawns, stuff like that. Shrooms like really concentrated amounts of food supply.

Why do you go and say things like that? Have you ever been up the coast? Have you picked cyans there? Im not saying we have more shrooms than seattle, i am saying we have lots of them here . I am just trying to spread some of my knowledge. I have found a lb wet in a single patch before , but if you are an experienced picker you should know that is totally possible, but 3 tons man ...comon what did i do to you? Not every dog gets high, but have you ever see a dog eating grass? Well sometimes they eat what is in the grass too , im sure cows do too, i just havnt seen it. I know what im saying is true, believe me or not i dont care. Just please dont chop me when i am just trying to spread the good word.

you did nothing to me personally and my comments weren't directed at only you. the 3 tons thing was for the guy saying he picks trash bags (plural) full . I will however be very interested in seeing these massive patches you claim to find growing in alder forests, considering I've never seen or heard of *any* cyans growing in that habitat before, much less large patches, and have picked more than my fair share. you said they're pinning right? so it shouldn't be more than a week before you can get some pics/scans? great. if you show me some proof of your claims I will gladly apologize for being a prick , if you don't, well, then I think you're either not telling the truth or just don't know what you're doing/picking, sorry... in any case, I don't believe your tips, whether true or not, are really applicable to the area in question (seattle). seems strange the same species would be commonly found in two totally different habitats between here and BC, no...?

take a look at this these http://www.erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms_cultivation6.shtml http://www.thehawkseye.com/pcyan/pcyan.html http://www.mushroomjohn.com/species29b.htm They seem to mention alders strangely enough? And that tek sounds similar to what i said. I am going school on van island right now so i dont have immediate access, but i am going home for thanksgiving. I will be sure to get pictures of my patch and others if they are thriving . Just because they are pinning it does not mean they are at their prime. And if no one believes me thats alright, more shrooms for me!
