Keep looking! If the conditions get right,even in the summer, these mushies may still fruit. Check areas where these may be protected from the heat and sun. Microclimates can produce mushrooms, while the surrounding areas may be devoid of them. If they are near a water source, that may be enough to keep the temp down and the humidity up.

oh geez...i'm itching to find these...i know this is an old thread, but i can't wait till my first hunt. i'm in mountainous southwest Virginia, and i wish i knew someone around here who wouldn't get sketched out by my asking to meet with them, and look, because i have no experience whatsoever. c'est la vis. i have a good camera, i guess it'll have to do .

Hi all!! I live in Bethany WVa. where the good stuff grows, and I just so happen to live where they grow along the Buffalo creek, so I can hunt without being bothered or busted....and I am experienced in the hunt around here, so if you have any questions feel free to ask ...I am hoping that the major flood we had from IVAN doesn't hinder the shroom growing next year.

Actually, it wasn't Wheeling it was Bethany WV a small college town, where the 80 or so people got busted for trespassing & I was very lucky I wasn't one of 'em! I won't go there anymore!

And yes, Sheik they grow like mad out there....The first time I went I couldn't believe these things were in such abundance in my own territory!! I'd get a shitload of 'em if I got there early, before anyone else, and I always did. But I'm lucky enough to have them right here on the property that I live on & don't hafta worry about getting busted, since that area is being watched.

Brooke County Sheriff Bernie Kazienko confirmed Tuesday the arrests have been made since May 1, and 30 more people face charges of picking the psilocybin mushroom. Kazienko explained that the psilocybin mushroom, when ingested, produces a mild hallucinogenic effect or "buzz." Psilocybin mushrooms are classified as a controlled substance under the West Virginia Controlled Substance Act. "This is an annual event during the mushroom season, which is May through September," Kazienko explained. "The last couple of years, we've been watching the area, and watching which mushrooms have been picked." He said that while the arrests have been made during the initial investigation, many suspects also were charged with possession of marijuana either on their person or in vehicles. Some individuals attempted to escape the area and were charged with fleeing from police. "We've actually come in contact with approximately 100 people, and other charges are pending on close to a total of 80 individuals," Kazienko said. "There are also juveniles involved." He said the property is owned by Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corp. and that the steel company has been cooperative. He also said he met with an environmentalist and an attorney from Wheeling-Pitt, which owns 160 acres in the area. "We took them to the scene," Kazienko said, adding that since the meeting, Wheeling-Pitt has contacted the West Virginia University Extension Office and the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources. "They wanted to see what they could do to eradicate the mushrooms," Kazienko said. He said there are other options, such as using a bulldozer to clear the area. "There will be costs for Wheeling-Pitt associated with that," Kazienko said. Wheeling-Pitt has since hired security personnel to patrol the area. Bethany College security also is involved in the patrolling. "We're going to have people indicted by the grand jury on June 3 in connection with the mushroom incidents," Kazienko said. "Some have been arrested for possession with intent to deliver the mushrooms and others for possession with intent to deliver marijuana." Brooke County Sheriff's Deputy Steve Seminsky also has been working on the investigation and confirmed more warrants will be issued. He said some plain clothes officers also have been on patrol. "We're learning this has been going on for several years," Seminsky said. "We've found people out there from the break of day to late evenings, just after dark." Seminsky said, explaining that none of those arrested had to be transported to the Brooke County Jail in Wellsburg, but were processed at the scene. "Our biggest concern is the safety of the individuals," Seminsky added. "We don't want them ODing on the mushroom or taking the wrong mushroom and dying." Charges were were logged against people from Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. A person arrested for simple possession faces a misdemeanor charge and the penalties can include 90 days to six months in jail, a fine of up to $1,000, or both. Persons also may be placed on probation for six months. Persons found in possession of the mushrooms with intent to deliver or sell face a felony charge and that carries a prison term of one to five years, a fine of up to $15,000, or both. In addition, any property connected to the incident may be seized, pending forfeiture through the court system.
I have been in contact witht he news reported who wrote hthis article. He attempted to get information form the DA, Sheriff Bernie K, and the DEA and they all would not give him any info. HE went to thwe place were they were picking mushrooms to takle pictures and could not find any mushrooms where they said the arrests occurred.
I have letters to and from Anderson and also wrote tot he sheriff who retired last year and is thinking of running for public office. WEent to the sheriffs website and they are so poor they did not have an email for him. Only a city address for the Sherriffs office.

The mushrooms were P. caerulipes

One such letter to me by Justin Anderson. I guess the paper took my comments to them seriously about the sheriff on a run for elective office after his upcoming retirement from the force.

*bumpsie*
Just wanted to let you know that these guys are out there! I'll try to get some new pics with my new digicam.
I'll give you a lil more of a hint:
Found most prolifically in areas that look like this (sorry for crude ASCII ART)
forest montain(hill) on each side, with river valley (also forested) down below between the two forested hills. These forested hills slow evaporation of water (especially in the forested valley below), thus helping to keep RH high. Look for a place that gets flooded once a decade or more. (too much flooding washes away the mycelium) The ideal place will have lots of old (rotted) and new (fresh-er) lignous (wood) material on the ground, and rich, dark soil, with small undergrowth and grasses. Look in these grasses and undergrowth (similar to lib caps from my understanding). hardly any direct light will hit the ideal places, only diffused light.
These plains get flooded not too often, the weak/young/small stuff gets knocked over, but the established forest trees will survive this flooding, thus creating a nice balance of old and new.
They come up on 4/20 no joke, and last into mid-june. (hot weather = no good) Cool weather, with high RH (foggy days are nice)
They will be most prolific near the river/creek/stream ( within 1/4 mile or less)
________u should be looking__________ --------\in the valley be-.../---------| ---------\low the hills b...../----------| ----------\y the water...../-----------| -----------\_____*_____/------------|
Some day I'll have a real drawing done, but you get the idea.
Sorry for the tweaked post, I'm extremely deprived of sleep currently.
Yeah, and if you live on a plain (no elevation changes) the chance of finding in its natural habitat is slim. (or any habitat really)
Dudes, I swear. Look down by the river in the grasses that grow on the forest floor. You need to look in appalachia-style landscapes. The river should naturally be at the lowest point between these hills/mountains. Look at my pics, study them.
I dont think I can be any more descriptive than this. Not that its an easy read or anything, I'm just the worlds worst teacher. If you can't find them after studying this post, then perhaps its time for a new hobby, bruv.
