How are my fellow shroomers faring this season? Just picked these today.

Those are extremely poisonous, even touching them or being in the same room is a death sentence. Rest in piss, OP

Occasionally I'll pick a shroom and realize there are dozens of tiny ants crawling around inside. Not sure why they like to do that, they don't even seem to be eating it.

Step 1: buy a field guide
Step 2: read it and study it
Step 3: go innawoods and find some shrooms
Step 4: hopefully don't die

The ones I've found at low elevations are already old and dry, but we had an unusually long winter here and it has been rainy and stormy for the last couple of weeks. Snow is still melting off the mountains and these tasty lil fuckers keep coming up at those higher elevations.

I'm in SW Idaho and they're pretty easy to find if you wander around some logging roads. I find them in fir stands or in shady areas that have burned, usually in soil that's damp but not always saturated and often under brush where they're protected from the sun. They're down near creeks a lot too. Once you recognize the kind of ground they grow in you'll find them all over. Your area has somewhat different timber and soil than we do but I assume morels still grow in similar spots.

It's a cracker of a season so far. A few weeks of soaking rain last month, and now the sub 10C nights with morning fog and frost keeps the humidity at ground level just perfect for fruiting the mighty psilocybe subaeruginosa, which is native to Australia and is probably the second strongest wild strain of psilocybe species, in terms of psilocybin content per gram. And they grow in abundance, and lose very little potency when dried. Seriously, a single large p.sub can sometimes be enough for a level 3 shroom experience. Most mornings I find about 20 of them, which I add to the drying rack, and about 24 hours later they are ready for storage. In the last two weeks I have already found enough to supply myself for the whole next year. Stay shroomy, funguys

most non-edible mushrooms wont kill you, just give you extreme shits and the ones that will do something really serious are rarely an immediate or uncurable death.

Nice. I've been thinking of trying to grow them and then spread them throughout the PNW. It would be cool to have some aussie shrooms out there too.

Let me introduce you to the humble death cap, aka Amanita phalloides. It tastes nice and will only give you the shits for the first few days. When you realize you have fucked up it's already too late. No symptoms for a week, and then bam, dead in a few hours because of liver failure.
Ideal if you want to stealthily unalive someone.
