• To hunt and identify wild psilocybin mushrooms, first find your location on the Shroomery’s species list.
  • Being in the same state/country as a listed species doesn’t guarantee that a species will be present near your location.
  • Disregard species that aren’t Psilocybe, Panaeolus, and Gymnopus.
  • Paneolus, Psilocybe, and Gymnopus are easiest to identify with certainty, especially for novices.
  • Some species will be incredibly rare and aren’t worth hunting.
• Once you find active species in your area, search for them on Mushroom Observer and iNaturalist.
  • Research what species are likely to be found near you.
  • Research what habitat they dwell in (e.g. cow pastures, grassy areas, wood mulch, forests or bushlands).
  • Research what time of year the mushrooms are being found.
• Familiarize yourself with the appearance and identifiers of the target species.
  • Use the shroomery’s species list and wikipedia to start.
  • Attention should be paid to each element of the mushroom - the color, patterning, and structure of the cap, gills, and stipe; and the color of spores.
• Find mushrooms that match the described species.
  • Make sure you are trying at the right time of year.
  • If you don’t enjoy getting out there and searching for them just grow cubensis or truffles instead.
• To make an ID request post the right way:
  • Photograph the mushroom in good lighting with a neutral background.
  • Make sure only one species is present in the photos.
  • Make sure you’re capturing the fine details of the cap, the stem, and the gills.
  • Make a spore print by leaving a cap on a sheet of white paper and covering it for about a day.
  • Submit a post with the pictures linked and the following information included to the best of your ability:
    • Habitat: What kind of trees were nearby? What was it growing from?
    • Location: Where in the world was it? Not too exact of course.
    • Gills: What do they look like? Always try to take photos that show the gills of both young and mature mushrooms.
    • Stem: Carefully dig it out of the ground so you can get a picture of the whole thing.
    • Spore print color: (if you have time)
    • Scent of the mushroom.
    • Color that the mushroom bruises when damaged.
    • Anything else you might find important)

• The A+ Strain is a Psilocybe cubensis mushroom favored for its above-average potency.
  • Developed by “Mr. G” - a mushroom breeder and Shroomery contributor.
  • The mushroom is medium to large-sized with slim white stems and rounded golden caps.
• A+ Strain produces excellent visuals and a strong feeling of euphoria.
• A+ Strain Potency & Psilocybin Content
  • Expect slightly above-average potency from this strain, somewhere in the range of 0.70% and 1.00% total tryptamines.
  • These numbers fluctuate depending on the conditions the mushrooms grow in.
• Spore samples are available from most established vendors in spore syringes, prints, and occasionally live cultures.
  • A-strain spores are dispersed throughout Canada, the United States, and Europe, with specific vendors listed.
• A-Strain does best in the grain, specifically rye grain.
• Other similar strains include Amazon, Ecuador, Malabar India, Orissa India, South American, and B+ strain.
• Species refer to a specific group of organisms with the same genetics. Strain is the term given to a genetic sample of a species that produces a specific set of traits or characteristics.

• Psilocybe Allenii is a species of psilocybin-containing mushrooms that was discovered in 2012 and grows along the Pacific Northwest United States.
  • It is considered to be one of the most potent species of psilocybin-containing mushrooms.
• P. Allenii feels different from other psilocybin-containing mushrooms with regards to its potency, effect, and duration.
  • It has a strong visual and introspective potency like the Penic Envy strain.
• The post mentions the subjective experiences of an anonymous user who tried the strain.
  • The user took 0.3 grams of P. Allenii, and they were blown away even though the dose was only half of what they would normally take.
  • The next day, the user took a smaller amount, 0.15 grams, and still experienced effects resembling half a gram of cubensis.
• The comments section includes discussions on foraging P. Allenii and the growing conditions.

• Acadian Coast Shrooms:
  • A relatively uncommon strain of psilocybin mushroom
  • Origin of the strain is debated, but believed to have been collected along the American portion of the Acadian Coast near the Mississippi River
  • Sold in the form of spores online
  • Potency is about average, with psilocybin content ranging between 0.25% – 0.75%, and psilocin content ranging between 0.00% – 0.30%
  • Considered an intermediate strain, not ideal for beginners
  • Fruiting can be slow, delayed, or even sparse; third and fourth flushes tend to produce the largest harvests
  • Other strains from Mississippi and Louisiana, such as Dixieland strain, are believed to be close relatives to Acadian Coast shrooms
  • Good alternatives include Cambodian, Argentina, and Golden Teachers
• None (if the webpage has no relevant information)

• The webpage has information on growing psilocybin mushrooms, which may be referred to as “magic mushrooms” or “shrooms”.
  • The article discusses the PF Tek method of growing mushrooms indoors, which involves adding vermiculite to a grain-based substrate.
  • The article also mentions mushroom grow kits as an alternative method, which come with pre-sterilized equipment and a ready-made substrate.
• The article provides a list of materials and equipment needed to grow psilocybin mushrooms using the PF Tek method.
  • Materials needed include spore syringes, organic brown rice flour, vermiculite, and spring water.
  • Equipment needed includes glass jars with lids, a hammer and small nail, measuring cup, mixing bowl, strainer, aluminum foil, cooking pot with lid for steaming, towel or paper towels, micropore tape, clear plastic storage box, drill with quarter-inch drill bit, perlite, and mist spray bottle.
• The article describes the process of growing psilocybin mushrooms using the PF Tek method, including preparation, inoculation, colonization, preparing the grow chamber, fruiting, and harvesting.
  • The preparation step involves preparing the jars, substrate, and sterilizing the jars.
  • The inoculation step involves sanitizing and preparing the spore syringe, injecting spores into the jars, and allowing the mycelium to develop.
  • The colonization step involves waiting for the mycelium to grow and strengthen.
  • The preparing the grow chamber step involves making a shotgun fruiting chamber and adding perlite to it.
  • The fruiting step involves transferring the colonized substrates to the grow chamber, misting and fanning the chamber, and watching for the mushrooms to grow.
  • The harvesting step involves harvesting the mushrooms as they appear.

• Psilocybin mushrooms are a type of psychedelic that have been used for both mental and physical health issues and to heal past traumas.

  • Prior to consuming psilocybin, it’s important to get into the right mental space, do your work in advance, and get physical props that may be helpful.
  • Some physical props are nice, such as a weighted blanket and eye mask.
  • Music designed for a psilocybin session was super helpful.
• Preparation and integration sessions are essential and a trusted guide who offers these medicinal journeys is required.
• Psilocybin can open you up to meeting your traumas in that sacred place and have the opportunity to revisit them, to love yourself within them.
• Psilocybin has been hugely beneficial for Elissa Goodman, but it might not be beneficial for everyone.
• Psilocybin legislation has followed right on the tails of the new freedoms surrounding cannabis as a leading topic of interest in the business of health.
