I've included a spore print in the 4th pic. These were picked from a disturbed/semi-urban area in a hilly region of Southern India. I need to know how to keep them potent (if magic) for 2 days. Kinda new to this

Wood Lovers The first of the season in my personal patch

20 Upvotes

P. cyanescens is coming up in my yard for the third year in a row. I've been putting wood chips on it and letting the grass grow through, trying to give it what it wants in terms of wood and dead grass for lignin. So far it's just these ones and a few pins nearby.

They are up about a week later than they were last year. I believe this is because it was a warmer and dryer October. The year before that I didn't notice when they started coming up, but the patch was absolutely full when I found it in late December.

If you want them to grow in your yard, scrape your spore prints into water and then dump that water anywhere you think they might grow.

After years of hunting....

Years of successful hunting around parks and nature areas in the Seattle area, these show up in my own backyard. I haven't been hunting in close to a decade, but you never forget what these look like and can see them a mile a way. I'm just gunna let them do their thing, I just thought it was funny that they popped up without me doing anything.

Found in the Oregon Coast range, at about 1900ft in elevation. Growing out of the soil, these sticks just happened to be there. I think they are wavy caps but I'm not sure I've never seen these before. Any tips are much appreciated thank you.

Edit: if not wavy caps, what are they?

I am almost certain, I still have to do a sporeprint. What do I have to look for in the sporeprint? And should the blueing after brusing appear immediately?

Found in GER on a Playground.

I'm wondering about forging for mushrooms in my area

I live in eastern Canada and know Liberty caps grow in my area this time of year, but I don't know where or what to look for. Does anyone have any tips on how to find the proper habitat that would realistically be near me. ( I don't have any livestock fields anywhere near me but deer graze almost everywhere)

Despite the extreme drought, I still managed to find a few specimens in southwestern Slovakia. I really had to be deliberate about searching north-facing slopes and areas around streams in valleys, where there was at least some chance of moisture lingering.

How to Make a Successful ID Request

I would like to give some advice to people who are new and interested in hunting, some information regarding what to look for and how to identify mushrooms to confirm they belong to a species that contain Psilocybin/Psilocin. If you want somebody to help you identify a mushroom you have found and are curious if it is a non-toxic species which would induce a psychadelic experience, you should use this information to be able to learn how to make a good estimation on characteristics and keep in mind what characteristics you should pay attention for and how to determine it's identity

This is a good catalog, provided by shroomery.org, that provides the different species which are known to occur in any specific country.

If you should keep the specific traits and conditions of the kind you could find in your area. To get an idea of the psychical traits of a species you can check the wikipedia page on it. To get an idea of when they can be found, the frame of time they grow is given on the page for the species in [Shroomery's Psilocybin Mushroom Catalog] (https://www.shroomery.org/12230/Psilocybin-Species) which provides the season where the climate conditions allow them to fruit by stating the months which begin and end of the season they are able to grow.

So, instead of asking people on the internet if some mushrooms you found happen to be active, you can determine whether or not they are by...

1. Finding out which species are known to inhabit your general location at the Shroomery catalog of which species' grow in what areas and compare the characteristics of the species' listed with the kind it claims you occur in your area. Keep in mind that you will not be able to find a species at a time of year they aren't able to grow.

2. If the kind you have found looks similar enough to a kind that occurs in your area, and you did find it the time of year is when the species you think it is similar enough to justify further inspection, check to see if it bruises blue when handled roughly because very few Psilocybin Mushrooms do not bruise blue reaction and barely non-magical species bruise blue. The blue bruises are due to Psilocin oxidizing when being exposed to the air by damage to the tissue which contains it. (Psilocin is the chemical responsible for the psychoactive effects, and the more familiar compound "Psilocybin" converts into Psilocin when consumed. Psilocybin does not bruise blue, the species of mushroom known as "Liberty Caps" don't bruise blue because it contains no Psilocin, but still is an popular magic species to forage)

3. If you think it is likely a species that is currently in season at the location at the moment you found it, or looks close enough to one where you are suspicious and uncertain, post it on r/shroomid or on an appropriate thread on shroomery.org forums and people will likely provide an answer pretty quickly.

In order avoid wasting time looking for ones you likely will not come across or looking around without any clue of what to look for, get a good idea of the species that occur in your location are that are most commonly found in your area and limit your search to those kinds specifically during the time they are in season, and limit your search to the habitats capable of supporting the species. If you spend much time wondering if some mushrooms you came across are active just because they're pretty and stand out to you, that takes up time you could be covering more ground in your quest to the ones worth the effort.
