Hi I live in Texas and have been picking shrooms for the past 2 1/2 years. My dad owns a farm of about 5000 acres and grows mainly corn cotton but also has a couple cow fields. In my experience Ive noticed it usaully needs to rain for about 1 1/5 to 3 days and be humid between during the rain and mabye a day or 2 later they come out during winter through spring they are mainly out in the grass but ive noticed during the summer and hot parts of fall they are under the trees but can still be out in the field just thought I would let some people know
college station has some good fields. ive hunted further east out in nacogdoches, central heights and in lake charles, louisiana. its been a very dry season this year. no rain hardly for a month or two. i havent been out to my fields as i fear they are not producing right now. its too hot, too dry.
yeah they arnt growing right now out of the 3 days its rained in the past 2 months I still havent found one cap it just needs to rain more
For which species? This is the worst ID guide I've ever seen. If you're out picking mushrooms, you should already know this.
i don't think this is an ID guide, just a discussion about Texas mushroom hunting. we are in Texas so cubensis, pan subbs, copelandia, and a few other psychoactive species are around. its mostly p. cubensis that are common during the late spring and summer months...when it actually fucking RAINS :toetap05: you are in ohio. only thing around you are some bluefoots and amanitas. pan subbs if you are lucky.
Yeah, I knew that already. Actually, we have P. Caerulipes, P. Ovoideocystidiata and maybe some Pan. Subbs if I'm really unlucky. They don't really grow in my area, though. They're mostly in the upper Ohio River valley.
It's a little more in-depth than that. I mean, I can tell you to pick Cubensis, but does that mean anything to you? Get a picking guide, study it, ask on here for a couple years, and then be very careful about what you eat.
where in south texas do you live? its not enough to just be in south texas. some places in south texas are drier than Nancy Pelosi's poon. you need to be near the gulf coast. areas like Houston, Pasadena, Katy, Lufkin, Nacogdoches, Bryan/College Station, Tyler, Corpus (maybe) and generally the closer you are to the Gulf of mexico the better. if you receive a shitton of rain yearly and there are cows about you are in business. finding a good field is going to be damn near impossible in some areas. you have to know a sweet spot and you have to know the right conditions. right now you aren't gonna find shit.well you will find poo but not shrooms. its been one of the driest years on record. come talk to me next spring or in the fall and i can help you out.
we just had a good rain last night some of the ground i so wet ya cant walk on it. Think anything is out there yet??
I am heading to Kuroshima island in a few weeks It is a small island in the south Pacific thst is bascially one huge cow pasture. 17 square Km..... 2000+ cows and about 200 residents. Shroom capital of the world
Pfft! What hollow baloney ~ cubensis is identified by tannish fruit body colo, purple to black knife blade type gills, and blue staining when bruised, pinched. If it took two years to learn to spot a magic mushroom, hippies would have never got high. Never eat one that does not have all three characteristics, black gills, blue stain and there are easy id pictures all over the net - The deadly look alikes will not bruise blue, like the dark blue of an ink pen The other mushroom that bruises blue has PORES (holes) instead of GILLS - you want gilled mushrooms The SPORES of cubensis are dark purple to black.looking and if you pop a stem out of a cap and set it on paper, within a short time spores will fall enough on the paper to verify color. Best wishes and if in doubt....ask
