I was worried the season was about to be cut short with this last week of dry cold, I was half expecting frost!

<div class="md"><p>Can they still grow after a frost?</p>

Is frost the end of the season?

Don't give up! cold weather be damned, they're still out there.  This is another new patch I found on the east side of capitol hill.  This is probably the biggest patch I've found this year.   There were plenty more I didn't get pics of, and TONS  of pins probably about as many pins as there were mushrooms to pick.

Season ain't over yet

Yup, just made it. That's 4.5 grams of dried fruit.   This should be fun.   Wish me luck!

Tea with 4.5 grams



They're out there people, you just got to keep looking. There were actually two small patches within about 20' of each other.  

 There might've been more but i was searching by flashlight after dark.  Don't worry I left all the pins so someone else can discover the patch as well.

If you want a hint where it was you might wanna ask Leonardo or Michelangelo.  They know where they're at.

Found another small patch in seattle. 

Is it even worth checking my patches this time of year? Im in portland and things are getting too cold i thought! But i still need to make another run to the coast for more picking got blessed with 20 grams already but have been mhnching them already ate a quarter with my partner 😵‍💫😵

So jealous yall are finding them still!!

This is a fern log I had placed near my p. Cyan patch. Is this really inoculating the log?? (Info in original post)

Found these, I have experience finding cyans and can identify them pretty quick. When I saw these they ticked off enough boxes to pick them, but their caps look a little more see through blue than caramel. Blue ring around the stipe as well. Any ideas? 
(3rd photo is a cyan for comparison) 

I'll be taking spore prints.

Cyan or other psilo?

Found in the most random spot. I didnt think in anyway shape or form to find cyans there

I went back to my families house today and looked around the yard a bit more...  boy howdy they were everywhere.   Lots of little patches and pins coming up everywhere.   I left all the little pins so I'll have to go back in a week or so to pick them once they fully mature.

More, more lots more

So after cleaning my haul I took all the extra wood chips and debris and threw it into a cup.   Added a few dots of water and covered it for about a week.   The mycelium has taken off and colonized the shit out of everything in the cup. 

Not sure if i want to go get more wood chips and put them in a Rubbermaid type storage container to see if I can get that to fruit similar to a monotub set up.  Or do the same and use it to inoculate areas out in the "wild" to make new patches.   

Anyone have any experience with this kind of thing.   I've grown cubensis before so I'm familiar with mushroom cultivation.  Not an expert by any means.   But I've got a good culture going here.   And just looking for advice on what I should do with it.

Mycelium cake

When it rains it pours ❤️

This is a very very popular picking spot In Portland and is usually always picked clean but found some and a 1x2 area underneath some leaves.  Amazing how productive they can be

Some I found in the dark last night. Couldn't get photos.

I've done everything i know to verify
my find. Spore print was a brown
with a purplish tint from certain
angles it looks more purple than
brown.


They bruise a DARK blue that
seemed to become a lighter blue as
they dried.


The gills were a light almost whitish
tan when I picked them and turned a
brownish purple as the spores
released.


And they had a really thin clear
gooey sticky layer on the top of cap,
however it was extremely hard to
peel off just the gooey layer from the
cap.


Oh and probably most importantly
they were growing on wood chips in
a garden in front of my families
house in Southeastern King County
WA.


I'm not sure what type of wood
chips they are though. And these
pictures are from just before
Halloween.


I've since cleaned them off and dried
them out. could add pictures of
them now that they are dried if that
helps
Itried to include plenty of pictures of
them in different stages of growth
because I know that can help with
identifying them.


Any help or confirmation would be
greatly appreciated

Am I an idiot?

Is it possible for Autumn Skullcaps to grow in dune grass? Or just wood? I'm pretty sure I found some wavy caps. They seem to check out, but I did not print every single cap. They all came from the same patch of Dunegrass.

Question 

11/7/24… a day which will live in infamy! It’s so hilarious, I’ve been looking for these things for years and never found one. So funny I find them right at my campsite, and after scouring the area for more, the only ones were right at my site 😇.

The universe is smiling on me 🌧️💚🌈
