Competely New To The Sport Please Help

[StoneyLonesome]

It rained all the last two days and it's really dewey out right now, so I plan on going to look under some cow shit for shrooms here in a couple hours. Can anyone just give me some simple pointers?
Also I live in Iowa if that makes any difference.
Thanks!

I would be looking for gyms (Gymnopilus species) in pine forests, or Panaeolus cinctulus in horse pastures.

Also active mushrooms do not grow under cow patties, they grow on top of them.

Go check ASAP, now is the time for a good hunt.

Again you really have no idea about magic shrooms. One Gyms are very bitter, especially the spectabilis variety, grow on rotted wood or dead tree stumps in cleared areas. and gag people who eat them. There are no deadly shrooms in pastures except the nausuating vomiting stomach crampped species known as Green Gills and that is for hospital visits only, the green kills will not kill you yet the Poison Control Center In Atlanta Georgia says more people get sick fmom that mushroom in fflorida then anywhere else in the world..

Also, active shrooms do grow out of the bottom of manure heaps. Spores not only get eaten by grazing cattle or water buffalo but when the shroom caps open and spores are deposited directly below the ground in grassy pasture land areas, the manure falls on such fallin spores and 4-6 weeks later after the manure has decomposed, they then grow from under the manure, sometimes poking directly up through the manure to the top or turn the cowpie over and take a look.

A couple of images of Copelandia cyanescens with shrooms growing under the manure.

And Panaeolus subbalteatus do not grow directly from horse manure. Their natural habitat are rotted haystacks or compost heaps with horse manure mixed with hay and hickory nuts at riding stables and racetracks. About 6 years ago, a racetrack in the UK was mulched in and over 100,000 Psilocybe cyanescens grew and that story with the actual news article from the UK is posted on my site.

The pan subbs are a mid spring to just before the hot months and then later in the early fall. They sometimes grow rarely in cow manure in a few fields, usually for a year to three and then do not return, lawn patches are also rare and appear for a month or so and then do not return. Lawn shrooms in the PNW Have about five know species common where I live.

Below also is a portion of about a 50 foot long compost heap that is about 15 feet high and here I show a portion of Pan Subbs. If you look at the species section in my website you of course would have known this.

2 overturned cow pies from Hawaii of Copelandia cyanescens growing under the cowpie.

the third image is of Pan subbs from Angry Shrooms compost heap in northern California near Sacramento.

In AMsterdam, I wrote for Heads Magazine an article. I visited three of the four original shroom farms in Holland during a two year study.

Pan subbs were being grown at a rate of 20,000 kilograms a month, at the same time cubes were grown and thousands of kilos of sclerotia.

A few pictures of Panaeolus subbalteatus. Six growing cells and each sell produces six long grow trays of about two hundred feet in length. I brought this strain to amsterdam to my friends at Procare and at Fresh Mushrooms of Tiel.

Procare us now called magictruffles.com

The law used to make shrooms illegal in holland was based on a 100 page paper of mine that covers 215 species of magic shrooms, of which 185 contain psilocybine/psilocine. However, the Dutch who enacted a law making the shrooms in my list illegal in Holland also accidentally forgot to make the sclerotia illegal and they actually listed 9 edible shrooms in their law which they also made illegal. But as of Dec 2008 when the law went into effect, the Mayor of Amsterdam has not has a single person arreested for selling small amounts of fresh shrooms, explaining to news reporters that he had more important police matters to handle then those involving what he called a harmless inebriate.

So here are three images from a couple of farms. there is a whole series of about 15 pages of magic shrooms being grown in amounts of 20,000 kilos or more on a daily basis, Now only sclerotia is openly available.

Another Panaeolus subbalteatus

Later maybe I will post some 300 pound shelves of the Sclerotia of P. mexicana and some of the Philippine Cubes
