Wamer temperatures in PNW- Hawaii

Im a Washington shroomie, and it looks to me like this weeks weather forecast is in the 50's. Not to mention all the rainfall. Who would think there are any chances of finding liberty caps once again? Or maybe it be best if I just wait till spring... It is so warm outside though, so I would think there could be something. Let me know if anyone has been feeling it too. Trev

Im in British Columbia and had the same thought today. I doubt it happens though. The freeze would have probably halted mycellium growth.

I highly doubt it, though I don't know subbs that well.
Prior to this warm and wet weather, we had weeks of near-freezing (and many times actually freezing) temps and no rain. I'm guessing it's basically killed any mycelial production for the season.
But there's only one way to find out, right? Get out there and hunt!

Hi Psillygirl,
What Subbs?
He was looking for liberty caps.
Actually I too think the seson is done.
blue ringers and subbs will soon be seen here and maybe there. That is if the w3arm weather stays, but then that is for the Seattle region, b not BC.
Have a shroomy day,

i think with a warming trend of good enough duration, you might have as good a chance of finding P. semilanceata as in the spring [possible, niot likely].
-------------------- Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it. If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.

I have been seeing some here and there, but no actives. Mostly just late season fruiters. Maybe if this warm weather continues, prehaps more species of mushrooms (including liberty caps) will start popping up. I heard its all tropical wind from Hawaii. Amazing that it just shows up after a week of frost and cold noses.

liberty caps never grow in the spring in the USA. The earliest I ever saw any were on a lawn in a shopping center in 1978. about 18 popped up and most likely they were P. strictipes. Several lawns in this particular shopping mall use to have liberty caps for a few years . The spores came in with liquid fertilizers, but those were in the fall months.
Oregon gets liberty caps in the fall on golf course lawns along the Oregon Coastal regions. But they do not grow ever past the first few days or week of January. Once the frost comes, three days and the shrooms are gone for the year. Thent he spring shrooms arrive in Feb-April and sometimes into may. Those woould be blue ringers (in lawns only), Conocybe cyanopus which I do not recommend to people to pick p because of its relationship to the deadly Conocybe filaris, and the Panaeolus subbalteatus.
Until next fall.

Blue Ringers are psilocybe stuntzii, Psilocybe fimetaria and P. sierrae (Conical blue ringers referred to once3 by BBob Harris (Growing Wild Mushrooms) as Psilocybe stuntzii var. tenuis.

Yeah, I knew that.
Don't blue ringers grow year round(provided it's not freezing)?

Yes they do, but not during the really hot season unless there are sprinkler systems on the lawns.
I posted some last Marh abnd April both before and after the March day of snow and the april day of snopw, and then none until july.
However that does not mean they are not up.t not all int he same locations. more or less scattered int he region.
