A couple of the amanita I found today. Didnt see any cyans in bham today, but I did see a lot of toppled lbm. Lots of people who don't know what they are doing out there it seems. I am almost done with my pink buffalo popcorn tek if anyone is inerested check it out in cultivation section. Keep those spores people!! We need to start spreading more of these little buggers around in the sping. I am planning on doing a lot of "canning" this winter so I can inoculate as many places as possible this spring. Hopefully a few will fruit by next fall.

That doesn't match with what Rod Tulloss told me last week.
" Amanita muscaria (L. : Fr.) Lam. in the strict sense does occur in North America. Morphological and genetically it is the same species as the Eurasian entity. The cap is red and the warts are white or yellow. It can have individual yellow (even striped, red & yellow) caps on occasional fruiting bodies. So far as we know it is restricted to central and northern Alaska and possibly NW Canada. This mushroom is an aggressive colonizer in the Southern Hemisphere, where it has escaped from pine plantations and adapted to native trees such as Eucalyptus. It is considered a noxious invasive in New Zealand and Australia. We know of one site in Massachusetts at which the species was introduced with a European birch.
Red muscarias south and east of the above designated region are Amanita muscaria subsp. flavivolvata (Singer). This will shortly be raised to species rank by yours truly and Dr. J. Geml. We plan to give it a new name in its new rank. This taxon ranges from southern Alaska at least to the montane oaks forests (say, above 1500 m elev, maybe a little higher) of Costa Rica. It appears to be exportable with pine and oak, and is known from a few plantation sites in Argentina, Colombia, and the Canary Islands. "

so i was out picking chanterelles in the oregon coast range (Tillamook State Forest) and noticed there were quite a few patches of alders mixed in with teh firs. Would it be worthwhile to poke around for cyans there?

Possibly, but unless there are man-made mulch beds, you're not likely to find any considerably sized patches. They fruit more abundantly when there is lots of substrate in one area.
In, natural wooded areas there simply isn't enought substrate concentrated to allow a successful patch of big meaty shrooms.

I picked these during my lunch break.

Monday I picked about 130 similar sized cyans in another Seattle patch. Sorry, no pictures of those. I'm pretty stoked for this season.

SO.... Today I was walking around... minding my own affairs... when I saw an incredible series of events unfold. A war broke out! I shit you NOT!
First of all... I heard this noise. The noise of fun was eminating from a ground shrub.

It was the sound of merriment... I looked closer.

Then came the gasps of terror... the poor little innocent cyanescens were being confronted by a mob of invasive, pernicious psatherellas!

Having anticipated an attack, a hearty band of commandos waited in a nearby bush....

Look closer...

This is what the world looks like to a commando shroom hiding in a bush..

And at the last possible moment... The Counterattack was launched, and rivers of cyanescens (3 and a half pounds, to be exact) came down from the hills... vengeance in their hearts and blood on their lips....

It was a bloodbath... And while the entire Psatherella army was laid waste, the women and children waited, hushed, in a nearby lump of grass.

The End.
Matt, So

the scaly chants can be eaten by some, but for most people they cause stomach upset. for me it's mild to severe gas with more or less gurgling. the same effect i occasionaly get from chicken of the woods, though more pronounced.

Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it. If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.

went out for a hunt today... I missed the last few days with company in town unfortunately (they were prime days, especially after seeing all the pins last week!) but sadly it looks as if my new secret patch is not so secret. There was all kind of trash and not many shrooms this time around. I managed to find 30 or 40 cyans, but it is still raining and there were new pins, so there is hope!
