Yeah, i've found quite a few before; nothing too phenomenal however but grassy fields normally yield a couple of grams dry if you have a keen eye.

Well any free shrooms are phenomenal shrooms :)

Any tips for would-be hunters other than the usual 'don't fucking eat the first thing you find' and 'do research first'?
Reading book now.

Closely comparing/identifying the shrooms you find using the interweb or literature is really the most useful tip. Just don't eat them during the hunt. After you've collected a good amount go back home and start verifying what they are. Do this methodically and respectfully or you may end up being poisoned and (if your lucky) shitting out a lung.

well, im not much of a shroom hunter, but i am starting a little mycology "experiment" in my friends basement. Growing is actually pretty cheap and just requires you to be extra sterile.

There was a guy at college got kicked out with a load of fresh libs (and a lot of other shit) last week. Fuck knows where he got them though cause were down south and its still wayyyy to warm for them to start fruiting.

i will be looking for weilii, i have 80 acres of pine forest and im pretty sure about 20 acres of type of grass it grows in...

rare shit though, only 6 counties in the state of georgia... and the land i will be looking on is in one of those counties, on family owned property....

What 6 counties?

There have been reports of people finding them down south. Not in large quantities mind, just a few of the early birds.

fuckin rights man, just what I needed.

I found four medium sized libs and one solitary P. cyanescens in a field, i've never seen a P. cyanescens growing away from rotting wood either.....

I just went out in my backyard yesterday, and found 5 p. stuntzii. They were pretty few and far between, but now I know where to look for more in a week or two.
@OP I started reading that book you posted, and it seems like a pretty thorough book. Good Jorb!

Are you sure it was a P. Cyanescen and not a look-a-like?

Yeah, i can tell a liberty with a simple glance so i was fine there; but i did spore print the P. cyanescens and it was definitely one.

Yeah, its a terrific book. Very helpful when you're out on a hunt and you are unsure of a mushroom.
