Fresno area, eh? Heh. I have had little luck searching for psilocybes in the foothills of the Central Valley (You know where this is, Auweia). Hmm, come to think of it, does anyone know of any psilocybin-containing mushrooms that are, in fact, native to central california, particularly in this season? Hmmm. I've gone nuts trying to locate formosas here, as well...

native to the foothills, maybe gems. there are no psilocybes that are "native" but these fib hybrids that we are finding are showing up everywhere. Psilocybes will grow in our climate but they need to put there. When i first got into mushrooms i found cyanescens in my front yard that came in on the azaleas that i planted. i called the nursery that i bought the plants form and they bought them from a nursery in sf. The mushrooms do reproduce by themselfs. humans have just helped speed up the migration.
As for the north american amanitas speices causing delirium,raving and profuse sweating, thats just part of the gig. They say this so that you wont eat them

Amanita muscaria and related species are not hallucionogenic mushrooms. They are more of an inebriation, similar to alcohol, often causing delerium in those who partake of them, minor convulsions, uncontrolable body twiches and sleepy-dreamlike states.
The majority of people who do them once, often never do them again.

Based on my research, the species we get in California (and perhaps elsewhere in western North America) is Stropharia cyanea, not Stropharia aeruginosa. The main difference is microscopic, having to do with whether chrysocystidia are found on the gill edge or not.
Two years ago, I was also given a very unusual blue Stropharia from the Stanford University campus - the pileus was so deep blue, it was practically black! Beautiful mushroom - maybe a new species or maybe just a very highly pigmented specimen of S. cyanea.
