Hey guys I recently found this forum and was excited to join. I tried mushrooms once before and loved it. Since then I have been itching to go hunting. I finally have some time this weekend. I have been reading these forums, but still some question remain.
Living on the west coast of central Florida is it absolutely necessary to look for them at cow pastures or can I just look in the woods by my area?

the mushrooms you are primarily looking for are Psilocybe cubensis and Coplandia cyanescens, two coprophilous species [growing on the dung of ruminants] so unless you know of some forest where cows are run, you'll want to stick to pastures.
--------------------
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.

Reason: Please read the Mushroom Hunting Forum Rules before posting:

Quote:
I. Mushroom Hunting Forum rules
6. No asking WHEN or WHERE mushrooms, or a specific mushroom species will grow. This includes, asking what habitat a mushroom[s] can be found- or their preferred fruiting conditions. This can be very simply answered by using the "search posts" feature: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/search.php Asking if "now is a good time to look for mushrooms". Or how long to wait after rain fall to go hunting. Each mushroom species has a different rate of growth- some mushrooms, like Ganoderma species, take quite a while to mature, compared to mushrooms like Conocybe, which take only one night to show up, and mature, and are all shriveled by the end of the next day. Conversely, Ganoderma persist for months, only disappearing when the bark beetle infestation has done enough damage, that the fruiting body falls to the ground, and slowly gets eaten away, and any remainder, crumbles into the top soil. These issues are sort of redundant, as addressed in rules #4 and #5, yet needed to be explained more concisely, due to many people seeing these questions as loop-holes since they were not directly described.
