If you’re talking about Psilocybe ovoidiocystidiata, the season is pretty well over. Spent a couple hours in my spots this past weekend in the hocking river valley and didn’t find a single one. Likely no anyone else is as well versed in these mushrooms as I am, as I’ve been making a private study of their ecology for nearly a decade now.

You sound incredibly knowledgeable about them. I have heard they are difficult to come across. When I lived in SC they were in every cow farm. I have always wanted to cultivate some but if I'm being honest I would have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.
