Mushrooms found in Southeast US

#572712 - 03/07/02 05:19 PM (24 years, 5 months ago)

Alright folks, I've seen tons of individual posts about this area, so heres what can be found in the area, where to find it, and what time of year to find it... finding pictures and descriptions is up to you(the reader)... You have to do your part too . I live in Georgia, so I know the most about Georgia mushrooms. Feel free to add *accurate* information.

For more information on these mushrooms I reccomend that you visit the Grow/Find section here at the Shroomery, or go to www.erowid.org

Something to take note of: If it grows on manure, chances are it will grow any where in the field, not just directly from the mauner.

If you are feeling generous enough to post pictures, go for it :smile:

. Just make sure to label your pictures accurately.

When hunting, keep in mind that the farther north you are, the harder it is going to be to find mushrooms(well, north of say... Atlanta).

Georgia:

Species: Panaeolus subbalteaus.
Where: Found growing from hay, horse manure, grass compost piles, and sometimes on cow manure. Found all over the state.
When: From Spring to Fall

Species: Psilocybe cubensis.
Where: Cow manure, sometimes Horse manure. South of Macon, east of Agusta- rare elsewhere.
When: Late spring though early fall

There are a few species that I have not included in this list because they are either a very rare occurance or they are hard to identify(some speices of Panaeolus).

Good luck hunting.
