anyone ever find any psilycobin mushrooms in connecticut? if so what time of year and where(field,barn, etc.)?
 
I used to pick in the south in cowfields. It takes a while to find a good field but once you do it is a goldmine! And the shrooms are not hard to identify no matter what people say, Also I highly doubt the deathcap myth because my friend picked what he thought were shrooms from the field but were another type long, thin white ones and he's still breathing. Where I'm from there were 3 types of mushrooms in the field, short squatty ones with wart looking things on them; long thin white ones, and the true ones golden brown with a purple skirt. the good ones always growing out of cowshit. The best time is when the weather gets and stays warm for a month or so and until the first frost or a little before.
 
IAlso I highly doubt the deathcap myth.

whats that about?

when i was growing up, rumor was that shrooms only grew during the night and would die in the morning. also ppl said that shrooms grew underneath the cow shit. lol so i had the impression that you had to go before dusk and durn over cow terds to pick shrooms :D

i never went shroom hunting myself, but it sure would be fun:mrgreen:
 
duh, i remember one time i went marel hunting and my aunt said to be real quiet otherwise they would go back in the ground. that bitch
 
I've picked in broad daylight and at 2 in the morning and they are there. people talk alot of nonsense, why would they go back in the ground? once they pop out they stay out.
