Magic Mushroom habitat
There are a few distinct areas that are perfect mushroom habitats, that also goes the same with magic mushrooms as well. A few very notable areas for magic mushrooms include but not limited to; landscaped areas, clear cuts, riparian zones, farm land, dune grasses. Every single psilocybe mushroom has a different habitat except the woodlovers which can be found side-by-side. Before you head out in search of magic mushrooms, you should study what things to look for in a habitat. That way you don't waste time looking in every single area possible. You'll be able to dial in on mushroom hotspots over time and a quick glance could lead to your next jackpot. The very first area I went to was landscaped areas. Man-made destruction at its finest, everything changed to a cookie cutter image of what it "should" be like. Woodchip paved paths and salal recapturing logged areas are really good spots to check.
Lawn Mushrooms
Many people wonder what mushrooms are growing on their lawn. There are wide variety from fly agaric to panaeolus all the way to mycena. Sometimes mushrooms can be a landscapers nightmare as they seem to never go away. The best ways to get rid of mushrooms is not to just yank them all up, that will not do much since the mycelium is underground. But since the spores help reproduce, throwing the ones you find away may help. One thing i have noticed is, mushrooms do not reproduce well when the acidity of the soil is too high but still may return later in the year. Other ways that landscapers have resorted to includes fungicides, reducing humidity and digging areas up. This may be a bit extensive and the battle will seem like a loss. Sometimes mushrooms always win.
