Hunters the Shroomery needs your advice.
    #841912 -

We are now working on revamping the 'find' section of our website:

www.shroomery.org/find
Please look at this page and give us your feedback. This is the old page that has been here for quite some time.

Is there anything we should remove, ADD, or what do you think for some suggestions on how to sprucen this page up?

My goals for that page is to have a world listing for all known active mushrooms, possibly even a clickable map to narrow down the regions etc....

I'm going to add a disclaimer that people have to view before proceeding to this page that explains the danger of mushroom hunting more clearly.

I also wanted to list each species and show pictures of each of them with brief descriptions... I will be using mjshroomers wisdom on this and with his permission hopefully a lot of the descriptions of each mushroom.

But what would you hunters like, don't let your imaginations stop you, anything is possible.

The Shroomery is set up in a way that someone who is a complete newbie can come to this site, research, and at least have a real good idea of what's going on, what's around them, what is and what isn't edible, and how to decifer among the different species surrounding them. Also, if they cant find out on their own, this forum is a goldmine; along with people who are kind enough to help us identify our findings.

The Shroomery is definately the best site I have found to date dealing with the topic of mushrooms.The information is here, the people are very educated on their hobby, or career as the case may be, and this is a pleasant environment to come to and search for truth and answers.

As far as the page is concerned I can't think of anything that could actually make it better. There are all the major, most important topics already there: Growing, Finding, Preserving, Glossary, Links, and Books. You can't really ask for or expect too much more, but a surprise is always nice.

The suggestion you mentioned about the clickable map would definately be nice. As you said that would narrow down a lot of information for the readers. I hope other people can come up with some great suggestions, but as for me, I'm happy with the way it is.

Keep up the great work!

You could mabey add a version of the paper by MJ, Gartz and Guzman antitled "A North American Distribution of Psychocative Fungi" for other continents. I know the paper says that there's on comming but i haven't seen one so i'm assuming it isn't fineshed.

    #848947 -

Ok, I've been waiting untill I had time to post my sugestions, and now is a good time, so here it goes.

1. Update mapping the mycelial network. This thing is way out of date. There are about 4-5 species of mushrooms native to Georgia that aren't on the list. And Panaeolus subbalteatus can be found in just about every state in the US.

2. If we do the clickable map(which is a great idea) we need to include the general habitat of where where to look for the mushrooms listed for that state. It really frustrates me when people look in the woods for active mushrooms, when the majority of them grow from manure in their state.

3. We need to list some of the non-active/poisonous look-a-likes that grow in the same habitat as active mushrooms. For example, The Green Spored Lepotia grows in the fields near Ps. Cubensis, and its poisonous.... Or Galerinas grow next to Ps cyans. We should inclue pictures, which shouldn't be hard to to because a lot of the mushrooms that grow near the active ones are very common.

4. Tell people when mushrooms grow(after rain, etc.) and when to look for them(night if stealth is needed. We also need to tell people *how* to hunt for them, for example, tell them not to use flash lights during a night hunt as it just draws attention to them.

5. Get rid of that god damned rumor about farmers feeding cattle anti-fungal foods or the rumor that if theres a salt lick present that mushrooms wont grow.

Thats all my brain storming for right now. I'm sure I'll have more ideas in the future, and I'll post them here when they come to me. If you need any help updating stuff, let me know and I'll help oot.

    #848961 -

Heh... already thought of another thing that I forgot to add.

6. Explain to people that if they come to the board for identifcation, a picture is invaluable. If they don't have pictures, we need to tell them how to give an accurate description including:
a. Habitat
b. Characteristics of the gills(color, attached/not, gills/pores, etc)
c. Measurements of cap and stem.
d. Characteristics of the stem(color, hollow/solid, thin/thick, etc)
e. Characteristics of the cap(color, concical/spherical, convex/concave, etc)
f. Spore print color(very important)
g. Color that the mushroom briuses
h. Scent of mushroom

7. This is one that I'd just personaly like to see, but its not crucial: Use correct grammar, none of that AOL babble crap(plz, mushies, will it mak mi hi?, iz it trip? thx, u guyz, etc.). People who sounds like intellectuals are more likly to get an educated, serious, intellectual answer.

I was thinking, this site is all about supplying people with the real information about mushrooms, and what mushrooms are all about. Why not have a section up somewhere on the site about the study of mycology. Talking about what mycology is all about, and links to different sites supplying informtion on the field of study as well. Then people that come here may go there and grow even more interested in mushrooms. I'm sure this site gets massives hits a day (by observing the activity of the forum). From all those hits we could possibly get other even more interested in the actual study instead of just the psycadelic experience.

A clickable map would be cool, but that sort of thing can be clunky to navigate.

How about a text version, which first list countries, then you narrow down to states, then various regions or cities; at this point you get a list of entries submitted by Shroomerites for patches they know of, directions to whatever type of mushroom is around.

For example, you'd click UK, then England, then London, where you get a message board style page with post headings like "Islington", which will tell you "There's a patch of Liberty Caps in Barnard Park, behind the fence, etc etc".

Not that you're likely to find any in Islington, but you get the point. It could be moderated for stupid posts, and the ratings mechanism could be used for the accuracy.

Whether this is the sort of information Shroomerites will want to share with the world is another matter.  :smirk:

Hi,

Well i was taking a look at the "mushroom hunting faq".
-I like this, although it is not complete yet.

Two FAQ's here that you must add;

1)
What psychoactive mushrooms can be found near me (U.S. & Canada)?
-Then put Mapping the Mycelial Network.

2)What psychoactive mushrooms can be found near me (International listing)?
-Then put a link to John W. Allen/Gartz/Guzman's paper for the Neurotropical distribution of psychoactive mushrooms around the world paper.



I like the idea of having a mushroom hunting forum frequently asked questions.
-I will think up a few more to be added soon.

Keep shroomin,

Re: Hunters the Shroomery needs your advice. [Re: TheHabbit]

Wrong, very wrong.
Have you read the rules of the forum?
NEVER ever ask for OR give out specific locations.
We would NEVER incorperate that into the hunting guide. It is called mushroom hunting because you have to get out there and look for them.

Anyone who just asks for patches is just a lazy mooch, plain and simple.
Anyone who gives out patch locations is just stupid, plain and simple.

If you want to read about the ethics of this whole issue search for a post called "New forum rule/suggestion"

Re: Hunters the Shroomery needs your advice. [Re: Thor]
    #879953 -

Under the catagory list; Locations, it reads,
"Where can I find mushrooms that will get me high?"
Should be changed to;
What Shrooms grow wild in my area?
----
Also...i would think to delete everything up until;
"*Note: It is important to know..."
Reason, it does not fully list everything and some species (such as Panaeolus subbalteatus) have been added in to some states, when that mushroom had never been recorded by a professional taxomist or mycologist.. did someone here at the message board put that list together?

Also,
Make a new catagory list called;
Identification

.

Re: Hunters the Shroomery needs your advice. [Re: GGreatOne234]

Also, under the catagory: Locations;
Delete the two "test" threads..

GG

And also make a new catagory called;
"Mushroom Photos by Shroomerites"
-This catagory i think should be of various mushroom species that have been photographed by Shroomerites and then put into posts.. if you like this idea i will go through all the posts and pick out the various helpful topics by mjshroomer, Lizard King, AIRDOG, myself and others.. topics that should be saved and linked to this catagory of the hunting FAQ,
-So an example is to make subcatagories from "Mushroom Photos by Shroomerites" and have, say links to a few of Lizard King's "Psilocybe weilii" photos, naming each subcatagory the name of the mushroom, in this case "Psilocybe weilii".

High,

Well LittleHippy, the clickable maps, and linking everything into eachother, is a big undertaking..this whole mushroom hunting FAQ is a big project. One thing at a time :smile:

How i think it should work is;
Have a map of the U.S. & Canada,
Each state and province is clickable,
Then lets say, you click on, Nova Scotia..
After you click on Nova Scotia,
Then you get the listing of all the psychoactive mushrooms that are known to grow there,
Then, you can click onto each individual mushroom to get more info,
So, in this case, for Nova Scotia, you click on the mushroom Psilocybe semilanceata..
Then you click on Psilocybe semilanceata and you are brought to another page,
The page has everything about that particular mushroom,
Pictures, Descriptions, and also several links of the great threads that we have had posted here,
Threads posted by Shroomerites..

--------------

Also, Mr. Mushrooms, It was a few months ago,
Thor posted a nice little thing for "LBM's"
-Or little brown mushrooms.
-It would be perfect for the answer to a question at the hunting FAQ,
"What are LBM's?"
-And then Thor's description thingy......

Re: Hunters the Shroomery needs your advice. [Re: Thor]

I am living at the moment in an extremely rural area on the north west coast of Costa Rica I have personal experience with three mushroom species down here. One is a cubensis but it must be a different variety, it looks very different than most of the cubensis I have seen.
The other two species I have been unable to identify what species. I know they are Psilocybe's because they are coprophillic, black to dark blue spore prints and they stain blue. I have consumed all three types and they are definitely psilocybin containing!!
I live next to a coup[le dozev square miles of cow pastures so there is ample habitat. For identification I have been using a field guide by Paul Stamets "Psilocybin Mushrooms of the world"

If I could be of any help to the site I would love to!
Keep up the good work!

Ok, so here are a few FAQ that are still unanswered, if anyone wants to contibute, please post the Q&A to these and other hunting related questions in the FAQ contributions forum.


How long do I have to wait after it rains to find mushrooms?
Can I take home cow dung from the field and get Shrooms to grow from it?
Do some farmers spray their fields with fungicides?
Do poisonous mushrooms grow in cow pastures and/or from cow dung?
Is every mushroom that stains blue a magic mushroom?
How do I ask a farmer if I can look for mushrooms on his property?
How do I take a spore print?

I think the "Find" page is a great place to improve the site. It's been lacking for sometime now. The clickable map sounds like a great idea if you ask me. A big picture of the world that when you click on a certain region, shows the different species that grow there naturally and possibly a list of 'find' reports. Especially perhaps a map that zooms in a little bit...

I dunno if this helps.  It might be the same sight that you've seen before. :laugh: :crazy:It's a pretty good tool for beginners like myself though:  key to gilled mushrooms

i too have the stamets guide, and have found it to be the best source (hard copy), that ive come across (any recommendations?) tho there are many areas that he does not cover (the new england area)... something similar to the map section and mushroom anatomy diagrams would be, in my opinion, ideal for first-timers, and vets, who tend to learn easier from visuals (no pun intended). simple, concise, pictures. all in all tho, im glad that this is being done, and if in any way i can help, im a pretty decent sketch artist, so... there you go.

cheers

When the guide says "introduced" what does this mean? I have introduced and successfuly fruited P. cubensis in Oregon, does this qualify?

I think it means it is not native, but was introduced and is growing successfully in several locations. Perhaps it?s even spreading.
At least I would understand it this way.

Joshua, Introduce species implies that it comes back every year and is now common in Oregon every year. They do not come back since they are a tropical and subtropical species.

As I posted images of them growing int he woods outdoors in Awashington, they will fruit if one dumps their awaurieum/terrarium into the topsoil in someones yard. But as I noted, they do not refruit the following years.

Otherwise thousands of perspective growers would have already accomplished this .

this is answered based on my cube hunting experience; hunting cowfields in louisiana.

Q: How long do I have to wait after it rains to find mushrooms?
A: Best rule of thumb is that you need to wait till after the next hot day. There will be a few during the rains or even before, but not enough to spend your time for. Basically, what you are looking for is the first hot sunny day after a rain. that night will be the best pickings. In some cases, the fields will be too soggy. These scenarios require patience. Assuming you get multiple sunny days after the rain, go every night to check if the field is dry enough to fruit some mushrooms. During hese trips to the field, you may find a few here and there. Remember where these singles are as theres a good chance the area will fruit abundantly after the field dries a little.

im not too sure about fungicides or poisonous mushrooms in the fields. any other questions you need answered?

I am not so sure about most folks on here , however , IMHO this idea is great but needs to include the edibles . I think that I would go looking for the cubes if they grew here or any other mind expanders , but I can damn sure promise you that when MOREL season hits it is like adult easter . I am not sure that I would walk over a mile to find a cube (it is said any one can grow them ) but I know many a day I have walked miles to find just a few more Morels . Just my 2 cents .

MR. Mushroom, Anno replaced all of this l9ong ago with my Shroomery's Ultimate Field Guide to magic Mushrooms.

There was a sticky for that book with more than 1500 Psilocybian mushroom photos of 58 of the more than 190 known species.

It also includes chapters on picking , drying and preserving, effects and what to and not do ino for plus a history and recommended dosagees.

m0j

IOT is a rewritten copuy of the text I gave you a year or so ago which you never posted so i rewrite it again and aAnno placed it in the shroomery.
