let's see, i've gone out...8 times now with no luck whatsoever in finding the elusive "skroom".
i'm starting to think it's my location, i go to open fields. there's really no shade and not to mention frequent traffic, so i don't really get to hunt as well as i like.
plus the mosquitoes are HELL!
any suggestions on location changes, etc?

Where do you live? You need to hunt with the rains.. In the heat we are having the mush will be off in the woods soaking up the shade.. As the rains start to fall and the temps drop with the cloud cover they may be found in the open fields.. But your best bet is to find a pasture that has a tree line and base your hunt off under the trees about 2 to 3 days after a heavy rain.. You must have heavy rains due to our stinking heat.. I'm thinking we will see allot of mush as the season winds down and the temps drop a bit.. Its just a bit too hot in the south at the moment

Here is a picture from a night hunt about a week ago.I use to hunt this feild during the day.I had permission from the owner.Then I realised the oweners son was a redneck I went to HS with.Now I am a little to paranoid to hunt during the day.Which sucks,I love taking pictures and they just dont come out good at night.

One of your troubles is night hunting. I've never had any luck at it. Even in a full moon, its much harder. I like the day, in the trees. Anytime, as long as its light out.

I found these by myself last night in northwest florida. It's the first time I've seen so many cubensis caps since Hurricane Ivan hit. I'm so happy... here's a picture. All the blue meanines are to the right, the cubes are obvious **I could really use some tips on how to dry these without losing potency. Is just doing it in open air okay?**

Hey guys, I'm new to mushrooms so I just wanted to ask some questions. I picked what I think are cubes in a cow pasture today. I'm in south west florida, and the mushrooms fit all descriptions that I would expect them to. The problem is that they bruise more of a dark grey to blackish color. I guess theres a very sligh bluish to some of the bruising... it's just that I was expecting it to be really obvious. A few friends of mine gave em a quick look and assured me theyre cubes, so I was just wondering if it's common for them to bruise a very dark color. Thanks.

I am having no luck here in Tampa, FL. I have been out a couple times with no luck, it rained a little this week for a few days, but nothing big, just scattered showers. Usually Florida summers are filled with rainy afternoons, but no luck as of yet. My area is getting some rain next week, but only about a 30% chance. Is there anyone in the Tampa or surrounding areas that can just give me a glimmer of hope here? I found plenty of good open fields with good tree lines, but still nothing.

im vacationing in florida right now. There is some pasture behind our rental that appears to have some dung piles in it. However I dont see any cows or horses. Anyway of identifying what kind of dung this is? Hoping for a little rain to see if anything pops up
-------------------- I love the feeling when it falls apart. Im slow to finish but im quick to start.
