Minnesota Magic Mushrooms

[booom-eat-shrooom]

does anybody know the likelyhood of finding some Psilocybin mushrooms up in northern minnesota?

[epidemic]

Considering how many different varieties of psilocybe their are in the wild your chances are pretty high;

Conocybe cyanopus • Conocybe smithii • Gymnopilus aeruginosus • Gymnopilus liquiritiae • Gymnopilus luteofolius • Gymnopilus purpuratus • Gymnopilus sapineus • Gymnopilus spectabilis • Inocybe aeruginascens • Inocybe corydalina var. corydalina • Inocybe tricolor • Mycena cyanorrhiza • Panaeolina castaneifolia • Panaeolus africanus • Panaeolus bisporus • Panaeolus cambodginiensis • Panaeolus cyanescens • Panaeolus fimicola • Panaeolus olivaceus • Panaeolus papilionaceus var. papilionaceus • Panaeolus sphinctrinus • Panaeolus subbalteatus • Panaeolus tropicalis • Pluteus salicinus • Psilocybe • Psilocybe atlantis • Psilocybe aucklandii • Psilocybe australiana • Psilocybe azurescens • Psilocybe baeocystis • Psilocybe bohemica • Psilocybe caerulipes • Psilocybe cubensis • Psilocybe cyanescens • Psilocybe fimetaria • Psilocybe galindoi • Psilocybe graveolens • Psilocybe guilartensis • Psilocybe mexicana • Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata • Psilocybe quebecensis • Psilocybe semiinconspicua • Psilocybe semilanceata • Psilocybe strictipes • Psilocybe subaeruginascens • Psilocybe subaeruginosa • Psilocybe tampanensis • Psilocybe villarrealiae• Psilocybe weilii• Psilocybe zapotecorum.

Concentrate on area's with grazing land and cattle.. People say finding them growing on cow shit is a myth, but it's not as much of a urban myth as they would think, I found a whole heap of cubensis growing right out of some cow shit last year and they where HUGE! Obviously well nourished on cow poo.Their where miles of fields and miles of shrooms... ;)

Although not all of them where the magical variety they where growing in close proximity to some Amanita virosa... Nice and Deadly!

Bear that in mind before you go putting anything anywhere near your mouth (specially if its growing out of cow shit!), if your not 100% sure what it is, then leave well alone. Last thing you want is your liver and kidneys dissolving just because you where looking for a good time.:rolleyes:

I'm going back that way this year not in the US though ;) but I'll get some photo's and upload em with measurements, going to erm, pick some for further enhanced analysis and some microscopy, who am I kidding I'm going to get high LOL ;) Dry em, powder em and store em and another method I've heard about is putting them into honey! As honey is a natural antiseptic it helps ward off moldy woes later on if your thinking of long term storage!

It's just a little awkward explaining that one to a guest who helps themselves to your honey jar "NOoooo!, that's not normal honey!!" :p

Also check the laws in your state, pick and cultivating could land you with a fine if caught and putting them in your mouth can be more trouble than its worth! Especially if you make a mistake and spend the next 24 hours having your guts pumped out with salty water... Downer! :D

[Maddhatter]

Is there a guide that I can purchase/download that will help me in hunting?
Do not want to a chance on ordering spores, don't want to get busted. Nor do I want to eat the wrong one! THANX!

[Wobster]

www.erowid.org has a wealth of info on all things psychoactive

[Wobster]

lol, what do you mean? I only just joined :confused:

[NHMI]

no,arent you wobbs at st

[Wobster]

Nope.. must be mix up. Im Wobs from uk lol

[MadHatter]

the audobon society has a good feild guide, but "mushrooms demystified" by David Aurora is a great dichotomous key, and it reads like a book, not a key.

[sanarota]

Well, what is the secret of the many changing mask as used by the Chinese or Taiwanese during their magic trick? I mean, I’ve seen them change the mask many times in super speed without even having to cover their mask. I want to know how they do it. What is the actual secret in this? Can you answer me? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

[NHMI]

wtf are you talking about

[Braniac]

quack quack???

[NHMI]

I swear this site gets the best of the weirdos that want nothing to do with mushrooms...wtf?

[MadHatter]

dude, lay off the doobie. or pass it to me.

Maybe try finding a forum about that... or starting a new thread? Chances are you're not getting much info about that in the middle of a thread that has nothing to do with whatever it is you're even trying to discuss.

[Semi_Interested]

ANYWAY. i am in desperate need of how/where to find/identify any kind of psychoactive mushrooms in minnesota, whether they be psilocybe/psilocyn, or amanita muscaria or anything that will help me trip. ive experienced these mushrooms before, and want to do so again.. i live in SE minnesota, but the principle is the same. not sure where this thread was headed after the outburst about masks, so i guess i am steering us back? anyway, just looking for information.

[mescal]

so i take it you never found any? lol
i like to do shrooms bro, but i don't know
a -ing thing about finding them, other
than that they grow on cow shit,
and they come out after a lot of rain.
washington-oregon are perfect climates,
i would think minnesota would be pretty good too.
good luck bro

[NHMI]

well start reading and learn how to grow your own, they are easy to grow and all it takes is practise...

[mescal]

hey nhmi, i'd like to get started growing some,
could you answer a couple of question's?
1- what is the best strain for beginner's?(is it b+?)
2- what is the best substrate?(is it rice flower-vermiculite?)
3-what is the best casing?(coco coir?)
thanks bro, how cool would it be to grow your own mushrooms,
maybe someday.......

[NHMI]

mescal it is very easy to grow your own mushies

1)Any cubie other than PF or any of the albinos would be great for a beginner, Oak Ridge and B+, GT, and just about any other cubie will be good to start with...
2)Its a matter of opinion, I would start with PFtek to learn the ropes before jumping into trays but if you insist you can get me at shroomotopia.net and we can walk you through your 1st bulk grow as well. I prefer using horse or cow poo.
3)Coir isn't a casing cuz it has nutes in it, you can use coir to spawn to. The idiots who case with coir are really just adding another layer of substrate which wastes time and adds to the chance of contamination....I just use plain verm if I even case it...most of the pros I have met dont case anything...doesn't make that big of a difference...though a late casing like after you see pins has worked well for me before...

[mescal]

thanks for all that good information nhmi,
its always good to get advice from an expert.
i'll take your advice and start with a pftek.

[NHMI]

cool, if you need anything just ask. mushroomvideos.com is a good place to start with pf tek

[cfo]

I live in Minnesota and found these growing under some spruce trees. They look like a psilocybin shroom but I'm not positive.

[barefootpirate]

Sorry if I fuck this up, I'm new. But I'm from northern Minnesota and I would like to go on a shroom looking/perhaps picking adventure... we have plenty of fields and cow shit up here... haha. Are certain times of the year more ideal? I'm pretty sure it's already too cold. And has anyone ever heard of people having any success finding them here? Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks and love :).

[mycospora]

You know what, this is a pain in the ass when I spend a half an hour trying to [post images to help others id shrooms. I am sorry I do not have tyhe time to spend here.

And Epidemic, there are over 200 species of psilocybian mushrooms world wide, 22 in the usa alone, the majority in the pnw of which there are 18 species known. first, only about 18 species world wide grow directly in manure, the majority grow in woody debris rich in humus and linguin. A small percentage grow with their mycelia attached to the roots of wild grasses in pasturelands and fields. Some are very rare in pastures such as P. stuntzii (pasture, lawn and woodchips) and P. baeocystis in pastures extremely rare, in lawns common at times and also mixed in with P. stuntzii or P. fimetaria 9and P. fimetaria grows in manure in pastures, very rare, yet common on lawns attached to the roots of grass as does P. stuntzii.

so only about 20 can be collected in manure, the primary species are cubes (2 varieties), Copes (8 varieties) and Panaeolus subbalteatus (1 species common in some manure at times in pastures, also most common in compost heaps of wheat straw and/or hay,and rotted hay. At riding stables and horserace tracks. see my species for this one at my site.



In five months if no one buys the largest shroom library in the world, then I intend to burn eveything regarding shrooms, including all the rare autographed 1st editions of Wassons, Hofmann's, Leary's, Weil, Schultes, Ott, McKennsa, and every item I have that is shroom related/ I have the largest collection in history on hallucinogenic mushrooms, including 112 gb of my computer, tens of thousands of photos, and thousands of graphic art images of shrooms and other aspects of psychedelic art and thousands of photos of species, and about 1500 published articles, many complete sets of magazines and journals, all my copyrights and everything shroomy including my 15,000 photo website .

Because I no longer have the four month high speed, it takes about five or more minutes to post a 150 kb image to a site, I just spent an hour here trying to post to three sites. I give up, I am not physically capable to even finish at the moment, the completion of my complete library of shrooms at mycotopia's forum international where I have put parts 1-4 and still need to post over 200 more images just in the field id section of a 12-part series showing all my library covers and many articles never before posted on the internet. I was going to post it all over the web, but basically I am really tired of shrooms. More so of the greed of the baby shrooms that students and idiots pick out before they even grow to their fullness, Especially cyanescens in the PNW. They take everyone.

Could I possibly have the rare autographed 1st editions?

The whole library is to be sold at one price for all. Includes my computer with an extra 112 gigbytes of photos, art and articles and all of my copyrights, and all of my personal mail to and from scholars I have worked with over the past 33-years.

I just recently posted and sold some duplicate books that were basically for other drugs, not on shrooms, yet there are several books still available in my sale, Including, magic shrooms of the PNW, Magic Ashrooms of the Hawaiian Islands. Magic Shrooms in Some Third World Countries (Co-author Jochen Gartz,, Teonanacatl: Ancient Shamanic Names of Mesoamerica and other Regions of the world.

2 copies of Wasson's First Voyage.
A Treating yourselfr Magazine with 8 photos by me and text by Ally of Treating Y9urslef, the article is on medical shrooms for Cluster Headaches.

Also I have PFD copies available of many of my articles with color photos instead of the original black and white as published in the journals.

You can also check:

ethnomycologicaljournals.com


One whole hardbound journal left or individual copies of the feature article (Sex Mushrooms and Rock and Roll), with 16 full page colored photos and 41 other colored photos..

I am fully retired from Shrooms, except to sell this library, otherwise as I said, I am moving to SE Asia permanently and I am onlhy taking myself and my bank account. I am also nto donating my library to any university because of some incidents I had with Harvard University who divided the Wasson Library collection into about 20 campus and off-campus libraries after R. Gordon Wasson died. He donated everything he accumulated on shrooms form before and after his discovery until about five years before his death. After he died, The University closed up his tribute library they created and named in his honor and spread all his books, papers, mail, artifacts, icons, frescoes, mushroom stones rare paintings and all his photo collection and spread them around all over the place. I found that to be rude and unprofessional, so, I am close to placing an ad or two or three on Ebay for my collection which also includes all the Parts 1-4 oout of 12 sections of books in the Forum INternational. I have just started to put in part 2 of Part IV of the magic field guides and now need to add the 200 books and pages of identification in Part IV-B, of my library. I do not have high speed any more so it takes forever to post the images to Mycotopia, so go there and read parts 1-4 in the Forum International to get an idea of what I am talking about. After I post the other two hundred magic field guid images in Part IV-B, I will start on the anthologies, biographies, works of Andy Weil, Richard Schultes, Terence McKenna, And everyone ever who wrote books on shrooms. MY article library for which I paid anywhere from 10 cents to 25 cents a copy per page, of which some articles are 60 to 100 pages or more I have close to 1500 articles alone of the 2900 known published papers and books on Psilocybin. The letters of Schultes, Wasson, Gartz, Weil, Tim Leary and other scholars are valuable as hell.

I also have a DVD collection of over 350 grade A conditioned movies on DVD and about 350 CHS tapes of rare and hard to find films. Those are also for sale for one price. The DCD and CHS collection can bring the buyer between $3,000.00 to $8,000 dollars in resale either in a store or selling them on Ebay.

Have a shroomy day.

Here is one photo of a collection of some foreign shroom guides, etc and/pr other such literature. And then I also have many books on other drugs.

zero,you will NOT find Psilocybin that far north. they are a tropic or sub-tropic mushroom


look for ones that a big and red with white spots aka amanita muscaria

[jimatay]

In 1979 I Found Panaeolus subbalteatus growing abundantly in a cow coral on dung. Thousands of them - big and beautiful. We used them many times, most intensely enjoyable. This was in upstate New York north of Albany and south of Saratoga. It was quite an experience because here I had been trying to grow my own and been having terrible problems with contamination. We had rented a house and outside this house was a big coral next to the driveway. The cows were only in it when they were rounded up- a couple of times a year. There were allot of weeds growing in the dung as well. We'd push back the weeds and beneath would be these big Balties. At first we didn't know what they were and were a little wary. With a few excellent identity books we identified them. To our surprise they were listed as being toxic with psilocybin content. Unfortunately, the cows have long since gone from there and with them the Panaeolus subbalteatus. But it was strange - I was trying to find the mushroom, and the mushroom found me.

[mycospora]

WEll this thread is strange. That list is not helpful to the person asking since Minnisota, Wisc, north and South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana all have cattle and lots of grass yet in thirty five years I still have not heard of anyone finding even pan subbs, although I am sure they are up in the spring in compost heaps mixed with stable shavings and hickory or other nuts or even oyster shells. Sometimes found in cattle manure around the world and even reported botanically from Alaska. go to http://www.mushroomjohn.org/species.htm and scroll down to Panaeolus subbalteatus, Also, read some of the literature in the articles section of that site. they show compost heaps manure heaps, some in grass but extremely rare. Remember also that Panaeolina look like Panaeolus subbalteatus but when fresh I am able to differentiate the two. Panaeolina has brown spores and Panaeolus subbs have black, although the gills may look a little brown.. The real difference is that Panaeolina do not grow directly in manure. However, in the PNW, even pan subbs as shown on my site can grow in manured soil that has been overlaid with hardwood mulches. But they are growing from the spores in liquid and other ferilizers mixed in the soil and not from the mulch. Their main habitat is composting rotted hay left out most of the winter with tarps which generally get partially blown off in winter. Minnesota is a rainy place and lots of water. Maybe some P. caerulipes types or ovoideocystidaia can grow along streams and riverbanks. While lib caps are common in northern new York to norther Quebec and east to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, P.E. Isle and Newfoundland, they still have not been found west of the mississippi.

Pan subbs grew in August in Upstate New York north of Albany. They loved the heat and thunder storms (80-90 degrees). The tea they made was pitch black, probably due to black spores. There were thousands of them in the coral, big and beefy Balties. Nowhere near the size of P.cubensis but bigger than button mushrooms. Please believe me, they were unmistakably Panaeolus subbaltetus. I don't see why, if introduced, they would not be able to grow in the wild in Minnesota.
