You have got to be trolling me hahaha
Read Me!!! Yes You n00b: Mushroom Hunting Forum Rules
3. Do not ask what mushrooms can be found growing in your state or immediate area. This information is easily found in the Mushroom Hunting FAQ and/or has been posted at least once elsewhere on the net. Also see this document: http://www.shroomery.org/8461/Which-mushrooms-grow-wild-in-my-area
Texas
Grows in woods Gymnopilus aeruginosus Gymnopilus junonius Gymnopilus luteofolius Gymnopilus luteoviridis Gymnopilus sapineus
Grows on cow poop Panaeolus cyanescens Psilocybe cubensis (This is what texas mushroom hunting is all about)
Grows on rich people lawns or fertilized lawns Panaeolus subbalteatus (sometimes on horse poop)
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
Your thread will get locked, so please read the rules and use the Faq and search engine.
Im in the houston area also, (around pasadena)

please take the time to read the rules first Read Me!!! Yes You n00b: Mushroom Hunting Forum Rules, and once you have found a mushroom please take the time to make a proper ID request. Sample ID request - READ BEFORE POSTING AN ID REQUEST!
What psychoactive mushrooms can be found in Texas? Gymnopilus aeruginosus, Gymnopilus junonius, Gymnopilus luteofolius, Gymnopilus luteoviridis, Gymnopilus sapineus, Panaeolus cyanescens, Pnaeolus subbalteatus, Psilocybe cubensis
--------------------------------------------------
Psilocybe cubensis These mushrooms are nick named “Cubes” also known as just “Shrooms” Psilocybe cubensis can also be shortened to P. cubensis. This is one of the most cultivated (home grown) active mushroom.
Where do they grow? They grow most commonly on cow poop, they can also be found growing on horse poop, but they arent found as commonly on horse poop.
What do they look like?
Cap The cap when young will be almost completely golden colored, then when they get more matured they have a great golden yellow fade on top. When they get really old or sun bleached the caps can sometimes turn really pale and will no longer be gold or yellow. Sometimes the caps will have spores sprayed on top of them and turn a purple color. The caps can have a verity of different shapes due to weather or genetics. Bell, domed, flat, flat with a nipple, or just crazy shaped.
Closed caps are pretty solid colored
Sun bleached
Golden fade
Spores on cap
bell shaped
Crazy shaped
Flat or with nipple
Stem Yellowish colored, and hollow, There is a veil present on the stem with purplish spores on one side and the bottom side (if visible) will be yellow/whitish/blueish/purplish. The stem will bruise blue/green when you squeeze it or break it in two. Also the base of the stems will probably have mycelium growing on them.
See the stems are yellow and have veils with spores dropped on them sometimes the veils are small sometimes they are big.
Cubes have hollow stems but Texas cubes are known to be pretty dense and sometimes are pretty meaty and solid and not so hollow inside.
Here is mycelium, its perfectly ok to eat.
Gills Purpleish brown, sometimes they are sporeless and only have a light brown color. The gills will also bruise blue/green
Bluing The gills and stem will bruise blue or green
When can they be found? Well in Texas people have found them all year around, even around christmas.. Its best to have around 75F-90F temperatures and a good rain storm... So whenever it rains for a decent while go out to those fields. If its kind of hot out, check under the trees and the poop around tall grass it helps block the sun.
Threads Horse field cubes Ive found a horse field that was producing cubes, the horses ate grass, hay, and whatever other plants they felt like munching on... The field previously had cows and horses interchanged throughout the years but the poop was definitely horse poop that they were growing from. Almost all of the pictures from this thread were found on horse poop.
PinheadX found PLENTY of Cubes growing on mulch piles. Now it is possible that it could have been someones out door grow, or maybe the mulch/compost/manuer they used had myceliu found PLENTY of Cubes growing on mulch piles. Now it is possible that it could have been someones out door grow, or maybe the mulch/compost/manuer they used had mycelium in it or spores from the cow field which inoculated the whole pile. This is the craziest thing ive ever seen and it is in NO way common, but his finds should inspire you to keep and eye out everywhere for cubes even off the field. Never say never, MUTANT CUBE, zonate cube, and a polypore.
--------------------------------------------------
Panaeolus cyanescens These mushrooms are nick named “Copes” dont confuse them with “Psilocybe cyanescens” they are not the same mushroom. This mushroom is stronger than Psilocybe cubensis. I haven't found a cope yet, cubes are my main mushroom so I dont feel I am qualified to give that much information on them.
Where do they grow? They grow right along side of Psilocybe cubensis on Cow poop, I believe one mycologist has reported copes growing on horse poop but it isnt common. (I will try to find the documentation on this) Some cow fields produce more copes than cubes some fields produce more cubes than copes.
--------------------------------------------------
Panaeolus subbalteatus Also known as “Subbs” If you read about people finding “Subs” they are talking about Psilocybe subaeruginascens NOT Panaeolus subbalteatus so dont confuse the two.
Where do they grow? Lawns that are taken well care of check out Subbedhunter420's subb guide these mushrooms grow all over America in most every state they arent as potent as Psilocybe cubensis but they are indeed active. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/7008112
--------------------------------------------------
Gymnopilus aeruginosus, Gymnopilus junonius, Gymnopilus luteofolius, Gymnopilus luteoviridis, Gymnopilus sapineus Also known as “Gyms” can be found in the woods? I have never found gyms use the search engine for this one.
