Where in the cow patties will psychedelic mushrooms grow?
Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms usually grow on patties that have had a little time to soak themselves into the soil – I would guesstimate that 2 week-old patties would be ideal. The mushrooms may be growing either straight out of the patty or very near it. As for picking, cubensis mushrooms are fully mature when the veil has broken and the caps are relatively flat (depending on the strain). The ideal time to pick is 24-36 hours after a good rain (0.5″ or more) in 65-85F weather. Be sure to identify them PROPERLY and THOROUGHLY before consuming any mushroom!
