Welcome to the Shroomery!
If you don't have alot of experience with mushrooms in general I would recomend to not pick wild ones unless you know somebody who know's what to look for or you can post pictures here before consuming. You will have better results if you grow your own, and you will know what you are putting in your body.
Once you get yourself hooked up and deciede when to eat them, go for a nice long walk in the woods (don't go wandering out by yourself if you are going to eat lots, you might get lost) bring some paper, pencil's and music if you can. and a bit of herb if you are into that.
The best way to take them is to chew them up really good, then swallow.

ok where would i get the stuff to grow them. i cant go buying them on the internet cause there are people that live with me that I would kick me out if they caught me with anything at all. I dont really trust the local "markets" all that much.

Well, do your homework and check this site out. There is more than enough information available at your fingertips that you can tap into. I would suggest to start in the cultivation section ( http://www.shroomery.org/index/par/3 ) then check out the sponsors. (http://www.shroomery.org/vendors.php )

You should be able to find some in washington. However, like others have said, be VERY careful. Even if you do, a wild print is no picnic for a first time grow. Having said that, it shouldn't be Cubensis in washington, so it doesn't really matter.
Order a print online. It can be sent in an envelope, no suspicious box, or packaging. Just a blank envelope.
Your best bet if you can't order anything is simply to buy some from a dealer. Yeah, prices can suck. But for your first time, why not? See how you like it. Your living situation doesn't sound ideal for growing anyway.

take a look for some
Psilocybe azurescens Psilocybe cyanescens Psilocybe semilanceata
Again, if you plan on growing, just order a cubensis print.

In the washington/oregon area there are tons of different kinds of mushrooms. Make sure you learn all the ways to identify them. Worst case scenerio, take a pic and post it here on shroomery.
Sorry for the 'lecturing'. just that no one here wants you getting poisoned or anything. If you can find it, awesome. Remember that dosages for those kinds differ from normal, so don't eat an 1/8 of azurescens.
If you find em, awesome. Have a great time. Don't worry about growing any of those strains though.

Research psilocybe cyanescens. They grow gregariously in your (and mine ) area. They grow in alder chips, in man made areas, parks, apartment complexes, schools, dog parks. Find places that used the lighter bigger bark chips and not that new cheap brown bark being used anywhere because that doesnt fruit much of anything related to fungi . It will take some searching, trust me. They grow near blackberry or rose bushes. Check under rhodedendrens (sp.) in areas you check. They will start fruiting after about one to two weeks of rain and cold weather and will continue to fruit until it freezes. Watch out for the Deadly Galerina as it grows in the same area as Cyans! Dont let that scare you though they can be easily id'd apart. The Galerinas are more orange, and the stems are orange. They also do not bruise blue. Cyans have more caramel/tan colord caps, white stems, and bruise blue pretty intensely when handled. Have fun with the season and trust me your going to have to beat the streets if you want to find anything. And I suggest that you take pictures and describe your findings in the "Mushroom Hunting" section of this site to get a more proper identification. Now go find your hardwood beds and check them often. Have fun and welcome to the world of mycology!

Be sure you have the right ones, take a spore print, and do some research.
Read up on how to dry them and beware, cyanescens are very potent. I would say for your first time eat about 1.5 grams dried (Psilocybin affects people differently)
For your first trip its good to keep in mind that the effects are temporary. Find your wave and ride it. And no, you wont overdose on them, you'll just wig balls if you eat more than your ready for.
