When Do Magic Mushrooms Start Growing?
This is a question a lot of magic mushroom
hunters ask. Like any living creatures, there are
times when magic mushrooms grow most
sporadically. Some people spend hours combing
through deciduous forests which ideally provide
the right conditions for magic shrooms to grow
but they still go home empty handed.

Understanding when magic mushrooms start
growing is crucial to success and pockets full
of psilocybin mushrooms.
Before you go out in full mushroom hunting gear,
check your calendar and local weather station. If
youre in luck, they could be growing in your
background right now.

Seasons when magic mushrooms grow
Some seasons provide the right amount of
sunlight, humidity, and temperature to allow
magic mushrooms to grow. Not all types of magic
mushrooms grow at the same time of the year
though. Some species will grow during specific
seasons in specific locations only.

Psilocybe cubensis.
 The most common magic mushroom can be found
year-round in a lot of countries particularly in
the tropics and subtropical environments in the
Americas and Asia. In the US, these mushrooms can
also be found in the river valleys and highlands
of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Its worth noting
that this hallucinogenic mushroom can be seen
scattered, grouped, or clustered on cow dung.
They tend to pop up 2 or 3 days after heavy rain
in pastures.

Psilocybe mexicana
Growing in small groups among moss and along
roadsides, this is one of the magic mushrooms
capable of producing truffles or sclerotia. These
sclerotia grow underground and have the same
hallucinogenic capabilities as the fruiting body
that grows above ground. You can hunt for
Psilocybe mexicana and dig around for truffles in
deciduous forests between May and October in
Mexico, Costa Rica, and Guatemala.

Psilocybe semilanceata
Psilocybe semilanceata fruits solitarily or in
groups in grasslands, meadows, pastures and
lawns. Although it doesnt grow directly on dung,
its often found in pastures which have been
fertilized with sheep or cow dung. This is also
another species capable of growing truffles. Its
most common in the Pacific Northwest in the
United States and in other countries such as
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Georgia,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland,
Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway,
Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Spain Sweden,
Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Psilocybe
semilanceata fruits in these countries abundantly
in autumn and early winter. On rare occasions,
they also fruit during spring.

Psilocybe cyanescens
This mushroom fruits between late October and
February in the Pacific Northwest south to the
San Francisco Bay Area. It can also be found in
areas such as Western Europe, Central Europe, New
Zealand and parts of west Asia such as Iran.
Psilocybe cyanescens grows in clusters, sometimes
in great numbers. In one occasion, 100,000 P.
cyanescens were found growing in a racetrack
south of England!

Psilocybe azurescens
This magic mushrooms species grows in tight,
separated clusters on deciduous wood chips from
late September to early January. They are most
common in Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand, and
the United States particularly along the West
Coast. A larger population has been spotted in
Ilwaco, Washington.
