Cyans (or lack thereof) make me Sooo frustrated!!!! :(
    #7578394 - 10/30/07 09:00 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

okay, so I've read that psilocybe cyanescens are in season right now, and they will be until November (or through november?). But anyway, I live in the PNW, specifically, Washington's greater Eastside, and I cannot find those damn wavy caps. Has anyone else had any trouble with them?? They seem to be very rare, and after seeing Psilygirl's pics with a huge freaking patch of them, I have been getting frustrated with my lack of success. What frustrates me even more though, is that erowid.org has many pictures of this species, and one of the pictures is submitted from my hometown! (see:http://erowid.org/plants/show_image.php?i=mushrooms/psilocybe_cyanescens24.jpg)

How depressing is that? I've searched all around my town, near lots of fallen trees with moss, a few swampy areas, lots of wet areas that have leaves and twigs, and come up with nothing. I've walked along lots of paths paved with bark and woodchips...I've found a few lookalikes but they don't match up entirely with the description (their gills are white/they don't bruise blue at all).

So am I missing something? Is the season over? Has it even started yet for cyans in Washington? Or am I looking in all the wrong places? If someone could be so kind (and not so paranoid) maybe they could give me a GENERAL idea of where promising woodchips lie? I don't want to have to wait a whole 'nother year before I can get a chance at these suckers again....if I even find them then, that is.

Washington doesn't seem to lack of Cyans this fall, so I'd suggest to just keep looking.
Before I found my first Cyans I thought that I don't even have to look for this species since all the books (that are all quiet old :laugh:) said that they are EXTREMELY rare! Well, by a coincidence I stumbled upon them and ever since that they seem to ran after me, yelling: "Here we are! Please pick us!".
Just relax about it, keep looking and sometime you'll find your first ones.
Look out for Rhododendron bushes, blackberry bushes and strawberries in combination with wood chips. As soon as it seems to be moist, give it a try.

That's actually about it... Good luck :thumup:

thanks you both for the advice. I do remember seeing a few of these guys a couple weeks ago, and I thought, well, I see these mushrooms every year, no big deal. They were tiny then, and so I didn't think much of them...I didnt even think they were actives. And I wasn't looking for them then! It seems like they do like to follow you... :laugh:

I have all three of those types of plants in my yard haha! (although not very many woodchips....just beauty bark) I'll keep a lookout underneath them and in otherplaces. :smile:

anyway, thanks again!
