hey, heres a good start: read the hundreds of other posts on the subject, then head over to www.shroomery.org

there is NO shortage of information on the subject.

 

any body here live in the metro atlanta area. and have ever been shroom hunting.

 

I live about 40 miles north of ATL in Gainesville, but I haven't been hunting. I was planning on going hunting last week but was told that It wasn't likely that I find what I was looking for this time of year. Not sure if that's true or not, but it's what I was told by a supposed expert on the subject.

 

Apparently, you can just walk in a cow pasture and look for some shit and eventually find some Cubensis growing. They say that if it's growing on some cow shit, then it is definitely cubensis. Again, not sure if they are growing this time of year.

 

thats absolutely false, many types of mushroom love cow shit.

 

That's just what I heard about the Georgia area. But I'm not an expert, so you're probably right.

 

there may not be many other types specifically in georgia, it may be mostly cubes on that manure....but it's not a garauntee by any means.

 

^^^^Good to know

 

Georgia is a great place to go shroom hunting. Especially right now, seeing as it is mushroom season. There is no way to gaurntee that you wont find poisonious mushrooms, but comparing the spores of your find to spores of the strain you think you found, it should solve your problem.

 

there are no magic shrooms in Ga this time of year. And yes, many other varieties grow on cow manure there.

july and august is the season. Maybe June, if it's been rainy.

and next year, go south from Hotlanta, or east into Shithole Carolina, not north into the mountains.

 

If it would just get hot again (It's still supposed to be humid) in Florida...I could still pick shrooms...we had them this time of the year last year...but nothing now

 

Just checked the 10 day forecast...if it rains this friday, I should be able to get shrooms sunday

 

You still might be in luck to find wellie. They are lawn mushrooms. There are a couple more like Panaeolus subbalteatus and Psilocybe cubensis. It is nearing the end of the season so hurry up and do some research on what your looking for. Please don't eat any unidentified mushrooms it could be fatal. At the shroomery they will ID any mushroom for you as long as you provide the correct information http://www.shroomery.org/forums/postlist.php/Cat/0/Board/mushID

 

DXMsucks,
