Thanks for the head's up on this slab. I decided to take a look at a nearby Alameda County location, and there were actually cyans. In early Dec, this area had probably a few 100. Now there is a flush of maybe 25 or so, some quite past thier prime. Not bad at all. I haven't picked them yet, I plan to go back tommorrow.
I am normaly a lurker, and don't regularly contribute due to paranoia over security concerns, so I apologize if this appearing to be my first post makes others skeptical about this. I encourage others in the Bay to take a look at thier reliable spots.
Also, if anyone would find a pic of a flush in late March truly significant then I can snap some photos tommorrow. Its not my preference to do this, but I don't really know how significant this sort of occurence really is (this is my first year hunting), and I am willing to give back to the community by posting a few pics if thats of value.
best of luck everyone, thanks to all who make shroomery the valuable resource it is,

Well, I haven't been seeing them around (even checked one of my more productive spots in GG Park), but I've heard reports that Psilocybe cyanescens is still fruiting. That's consistent with last year, which was also super-rainy, well into Spring - I found some huge P. cyanescens in early March.
Has anybody seen P. cyanofibrillosa or other bluing Psilocybe other than P. cyanescens in the last month?

No, hehe, it's not in San Francisco, but south on the penninsula, but I did work for the Haight Ashbury Neighborhood Council 20 years ago, and YES, Ameoba records on Haight Street would be a great fantasy spot, if only they had the space for a nice woodchip landscaping area.
We used to have a tradition in the Haight. Around Christmas we used to make big tea batches in those industrial size thermos and walk down Haight and give away tea. That was 20 years ago. Until it got out of hand and there was crowds, and friends alerted us the cops caught on and they were looking for us.
We mosied on out of there and never went back. I think 1988 wasa the last time we did that. Something like 20 gallons of tea....We just gave it away in little dixie cups.
Oh those were the days..... *sigh*

Yep....Ameoba music is almost on the corner of Haight and Stanyan, the entrance to Golden Gate Park, but shrooms don't occur even close to there, why?..because too many peope sit, pee and walk all over that area all day, every day..It's an urban area, just like NYC in some ways
It takes alot more than walking down Haight Street to 'know' 
This patch I posted isn't even in the city od San Francisco, it is over 30 miles south. In Fact, it is the surrounding suburbs of SF that has the landscaping, and barely the city of SF....
*but I do admit that one of my best spots is right smack in the middle of SF, in a very diabolical location...Nowhere close to the Haight tho, but even further downtown :P.... go figure...
Psychedelic mushrooms NEVER recognize human boundaries of any kind, not fences, not streets, not political or theoretical, or even theological > they grow where they want, and that can be in the most suprising of places.
and it's not the Haight, unless you actually know somebody there

These are some of the most impressive late season Cyan finds I've ever seen.
It really makes me wonder just how high of a temperature these things can take.

Here's the shots I could get during the day. The spot doesn't have good cover so I'm 'noided out snooping around during the AM. As such, I could only snap some pics of a corner of the patch:

this makes the season this year almost 6 months (first pickings in October). record rains this March It's why I think the Bay Area is in some ways better than the PNW...Doesn't freeze like Washington, maybe drier, but longer lasting. melts in you mouth, tastes great too..hehe

It'll grow back if there's more chips replaced. What I would do if I were slab100 is transfer those chips to wet cardboard while it's still fresh, and make new spots

we made the trip to the bay today. We found a few handfulls of stunzis and cyans. We found 2 fibs. We also found a huge patch of dried cyans just 30 miles from sacramento. There was 1 lone pin that was fresh and the mycelia mat was 3x20'. I cant wait for that to flush next year. I will post pics in a few minutes

ahh im sorry fi i came off angry. i have just seen so many hunters on here just rip out the whole thing. i guess most dont know when you do that you lessen the chances of it fruiting again, but i do agree with you on the mycelia, taking it home and making an ew spot is good to.

I think what it really is, is that some strains can handle mycelial tears better than others, slab100's spot looks nice and healthy and it looks like it has plenty of food too. any fruiting after that will just come up in different places.
It's sort of what I noticed about this late season here in the bay area too. Just about all the spots coming up now are the real healthy vigorous type of strains. There's alot of places where there's no fruitings right now, so those vigorous strains should be promoted. It really is a big difference between different strains of cyans. I've put some on cardboard and they just sort of sit thbere, while others take off like a bunny rabbit..hehe

don't sweat it dude. normally i take scizzors and remove the shrooms. in this one instance i took the mycelium 'cause it made a cool pic and i'm going to transplant it.
in addition, this patch is *ginormous* (it literally has spread about 50' in this year alone) and this minute amount of mycelium will make no difference. it's an extremely aggressive patch that's growing balls out on a bed of 8-9" of beautius wood chips.

Killer score! lol - I've got so many shrooms I don't know what to do with them all. I went back to my patch two days ago and picked probably around 400 lunkers. And that was probably about 1/3 of what was there!
What do you say we recreate the old haight ashbury free mushroom festival romp?
I'll probably have 2lbs of dried shrooms when all is said and done.

here are some pics here are a few stunzis from the same spot that we picked a plastic grocery bag full a few months back. Just a few hundred specimens right now

A few dryer ones
 And a few pins, we might go back next week
 Some cyans from one of my hotspots
 The cyans again with fibs in the lower left corner

Now these are cyans from a town about 30 miles from sac. they are dry and trash but they are cyans indeed. There were hundreds
 How do i know that they are cyans, well one the mycelium was tough and the mat smelt like psilocybes, also the gods left this lil sample cyan just to make sure we knew what they were.

I've never actually been to Sacramanto, but I used to live in Chico as a kid almost 30 years ago, so I can't give you any locations, but I'm looking at Google Earth, and I can tell you lots of places I would want to look at, if I could ever get there without a car, and had the time :P
First of all, and this is probably the biggest hint you're going to get. Right now, here in the Bay Area, THE most common mushroom in woodchips anywhere is nicknamed the 'freeway mushroom' (hi Peter)
scientific name is Stropharia riparia, link > http://www.mykoweb.com/CAF/species/Stropharia_riparia.html
They're yellowish, and they're almost everywhere right now, while the red Stropharias occur more during December.
I'm willing to bet you can drive almost anywhere around Sacramento, probably to Davis (30 miles west) to Folsom (30 miles east, and if you drive slow enough around woodchip dumps, count over 1000 of those yellow Stropharias. Those woodchip dumps are most common around freeway overpasses, you know, where there are 4 circular loops?
As you're coming off the freeway and circling around to get onto that street, 'oh look at that, them yellow ones are all over'
THAT is the type of woodchip dump where cyanescens grows, and it's not just freeways, but ANYWHERE there's woodchips like that, including new housing developments, business parks, shopping centers, parks, city streets...yeah, pretty much anywhere they dump and spread woodchips, and especially thos places where you see other mushrooms, like those Stropharias
But I recommend a bicycle if you know of woodchip places around the Sacra tomato, simply because it is slower..Cars are often too fast, blink and you'll miss it
In fact, I heard there was a bike path on the Feather river from Sac all the way to Folsom lake, 30 miles long...
I'd love to bike that someday if I ever have the time. I'll bet there's more than one woodchip area along there
From what I can see with Google Earth, the entire greater Sac area is semi-suburbs, just like the Bay Area.
I can't give you any locations, never been there, but I can tell you how I would start looking

and my name's Jeff, already posted here, glad to meet you. hat 'scenery ' landscaping woodchip dump is exactly what I'm talking about, and since there are already other species growing there, it means they are not spraying it with fungicide. So I would check that place at least once or twice a year
I'm not suprised about the Feather river. I could almost see it on Google Earth, even tho it's 5 years ago...It's prime real estate, and newer developments here in the greater bay area often now have large woodchip dumps....Woodchips, for some odd reason, is now the new 'IN' thing for landscaping....Do they really know?....it's diabolical what I'vbe seen here recently....I mean miles and miules of chips in some places
This is a good thing...Um....I think......I just know if this 'scenic landscaping' keeps up I'm going to break my back like a mule hauling out a spot one day....like 90-120 pounds :P

Yes, I'll send you a PM.....You and everybody else should know that photos are not the answer, they are only a way for some of us to get closer...it does help, but it's certainly not the answer...The answer is a combination of photos, spore prints, and actually being out there, and if you can't, a live sample.
My point is, photos always help, even if they are not right...we can at least tell that...hehe

Raggedy ass shrooms any way you look at it, but those are P Cyanescens, congradulations, Tahoe
