Anybody else out harvesting wild?

[geckopelli]

Mushrooms everywhere around here.

Anybody else?

We've got about 7 lbs this week.

[Jetblack]

if u give me a lb. ill be ur friend :)

[geckopelli]

In july and august I've picked them in NC.

Later in the summer after a big rain you should try your luck in Va.

[Fractual_]

if u give me a lb. ill be ur friend :)
yea man me too, but get this,, i'll be your best friend

[sag aloo]

yeah - I certainly wouldnt pay 4 the fuckers - save my $ 4 some acid!!!

[wandrnshaman]

Yields are unreal in SC right now. Just starting to pick up here in Florida. :)

[Cosmic Butterfly]

Gecopelli, do you know anything about mushrooms in AZ??

[geckopelli]

No.

P. cubensis is the only one I know well, amd it's too dry in ariz for them.

[enjoycocaine]

southeast TN is starting to pick up now pretty heavy. I have a 3 acre field that gives about a ounce (dried) every few days. (assuming average rain) P. cubes is the only strain I have found though, except for a Amanita muscaria I found once.

[enjoycocaine]

This post got me hot to find some shrooms tonight, so I did a little night smoke ride and stopped on my field on the way. No flashlight led me to only find these 2 by the moonlight, but I didn't even cross over the fence so I know they are out there, just waiting for me, while I wait on them... and daylight.

geck, do you know if P.Cubensis or other strains may grow in Edmonton,Alberta Area? Its been raining lots latley, Edmontons manholes where shooting out water... Do you think they may be growing here rite about now?

[geckopelli]

P. cubensis- no, not near hot enough.

But others...

Growing on wood or grass...

I don't know, and my books are old, but I'd look into it if I were you. try Panaeolus, Psilocybe, and Conocybe, among others species. Try the 'shroomery for names of possibles, and then reseach them at a straight site and learn to take a spore print (simple).

Also, you can likely find Aminita Muscaria- quite unmistakeable- but a different drug TOTALLY UNLIKE psilocybin. Research the history and effects before deciding to do it. They're the alice in wonder mushrooms- red with white spots- and are known to grow as far north as siberia.

It's a trip I never chosen to take- so far, anyway.

[mustangman88lx]

in south ga there everywhere lb an hour

[WeeDMaN]

Thanks for the info. I will look into the strains u told me. I dunno bout Amnitas, There are some with red and white spots that can kill u quickly and painfully.

[Gravy_Train_Gilmour]

the active hallucinogenic in amanita's are extremely toxic...that shit can kill you.


just grow your own shrooms, it's relatively easy, if you can keep everything sterile. not to mention the many more strains you have access too.

[WeeDMaN]

good point.I am thinking about growing, I gotta get some money together first cuz i gotta buy 4g before I go to my buddys for the weekend. So by the time I get the spores and grow em and all, it should be near end september.

[mebesideme]

The yield is great here in South Carolina, especially for a guy that lives on a beef cattle farm. I didn't go tonight but my friends were over and picked from five of the eight fields. N said they had right at twenty two pounds wet. That is the best yield we have ever had! All cubes, and most were pretty big from the way he talked. I always get a half pound about from each person that picks if people come over, plus what I find for myself. They had six peeps over last night, and my bags of "good shit" (pun intended) are waiting in my shed for me. I am making a hell of a lot of tea from this stuff then freezing it in bottles since we got so much. All my tripping friends have a new obsession with shroom tea, they say it hits faster and better. I have only done chocolates and fresh ones on food and shit that covers the taste. I was thinking of making the tea, and taking some "bottled water" to all the back to college parties this fall for my good friends and hookups that I haven't seen all summer. If these things turn out good, I am gonna quit wasting money on possibly bunk acid and do shrooms and Heavenly blue half and half. We got the ether LSA extraction process down PAT with morning glory thanks to a clever conversation with my retired chemistry teacher to get a hookup for the right kind of ether. It is SO great not to have to eat more seeds than necessary so you can get tripping before you puke a few times. I just can't handle MG grounds.....

[mebesideme]

Just got back from the house to check out the crop... 17 pounds and 5 ounces wet in total. I kept about three pounds for myself for the tea experiment next week. I also have a couple of unknown fungi I will post pics of here and at shroomery in a bit. Need an ID on them, so I will get back on what they are. One is some kind I see a lot of but haven't yet picked, the other just came up everywhere all over the fields all of a sudden, in most every pile. I haven't seen it before that I can remember but I will see what it is. Definitely not an edible I am sure but I like to learn about shit. Anyway, checked everything, all we got in the crop is cubenses, that's all we ever pick usually cause that is what we know the best of in what's around here. They are pretty easy to spot and no close poisonous lookalikes that I've found growing in the area. An older guy I know from the place I work took me shroomin for the first time a couple months ago, and showed me cubies, he said that was the only safe thing to look for in this region. He was on acid about twice a week from about 1975-1995, and did shrooms all the time. He and his friends were pretty poor so they shroomed alot. I figure he's been around enough to know his fungus, and he isn't dead yet, and never been sick from shrooms that he knew of.

[runrunrun]

Wow u guys are finding a lot that is awesome anyone know about Illinois?

[FunkyPhreshMama]

they have been all over the place down here in NC. we went for a ride the other day and wrote down all the fields to pick in. my homeys went the other night but only got about 4 pounds.............. we shall go this weekend, the ones here that i have ate have been kick ass.
*
nothing beats pounds and pounds of free mushrooms.......

[Warisfortheweakminde]

There are'nt that many in the UK for another couple of months, in fact the growing season begins around my bday! Good old karma, always comes through in the end.

[diktnemele]

Hey how bout musshies in michingan anyone?

[wandrnshaman]

You may find some Panaeolus subbalteatus up there. It takes a bit of experience to ID them though. No psilocybe cubensis, sorry.

[UTcolorchangn420]

I haven't really searched for them yet. I've only been to one field so far, it's the one that always used to have them last year. They weren't there yet, so I need to go search in some more fields soon before it gets too hot for them. After the next good rain I'll be hunting.

[AreYouExperienced]

I haven't started searching yet, but I will tomorrow.

[Experience Haze]

what about northern virginia?

[pinocchio]

You might find some Big Laughing Gym's or Gymnopilus spectabilis in northern va. Maybe Psilocybe caerulipes, no cubensis to mention, sorry.

[sm0key42o8]

what can i find in southern va, almost in nc??? and i need to look in what kinda of cow field? and after it rains???

[geckopelli]

You might get lucky with cubensis.

Find low-lying pastures with standing water on them. It should be soppin' wet.

[BraveHeart]

yep, and check around treelines and fencelines too. You probably won't see them till you're right by them because they don't often grow taller than the surrounding grass. Look around you in about a 10 feet circle, not 20 yards off in the distance. They're in the Carolinas for sure. South Carolina has had an impressive season so far this year.

[PcpIsnt4Kids]

Ahoy hoy
I Was Just Wanting To Know If Anyone Knew Of Any Mushrooms If Any That Grow In The Indiana Area...
Keep Watching The Skies....

[Veritas]

Anybody pick in Mass?

[bigeyedfish870]

Any chance at boomers growin in wisconsin or minnesota?

lots and lots of dairy cow farms :H

[modestsmoker]

what are the odds shrooms in iowa after rain season in august will be growing

[Iamgod]

What about in arkansas?

[Spacer]

WHy post here asking, get your ass outside and look for them.

[geckopelli]

Maybe Arkansas- but the rest are too far north.


Most northern varieties grow on wood.

[EddieV1984]

Does anybody know what species liberty caps are? Are they even a species or just a general term for psilocybin containing fungus? It seems that most pictures ive seen that are labeled as liberty caps look like p. cubenis.

[geckopelli]

From "Hallucenogenic and Posionus Mushrooms Field Guide', Pub 1977:


Psilocybe semilanceata (Liberty Caps)

Habitat- near grass in pasture lands and meadows. Rarely on dung.

Range- No. Cal. to BC., spring to mid-winter.
----------
The pics look nothing like P. cubensis.

I don't know how outdated this info is, but Liberty Caps only became well known around the time the book was published, so google Psilocybe semilanceata, or better yet, look them up at the 'shroomery.

[the_dude]

it grows amanita muscarias here in sweden. but im too lazy to drag my ass in the woods si i just take those who grows on my yard.

A different drug entirerly than psilocybin mushrooms, they grow in the appalachins (where they are yellow and not red) and out west in the mountains (where they're red) in the US.

[the_dude]

is fly agaric stronger or weaker?

[geckopelli]

It's just different.


It's like asking if heroin or cocaine is stronger.

[fairfield]

Me and some friends went out yesterday and found what we reckoned mightve only been enough for the 3 of us to get a bit mushied but turned out to get us all trippin all over the place. We're going back tomorrow for another look to see if theres any more apparently this is the month when they only just start to grow here(this is the first time ive went looking for wild shrooms). I think its the liberty cap ones we get here but i cant be 100% sure i'll try and get some pics a.s.a.p.
