I will note for people interested in this kind of thing. Most cities have local mycology groups who do group forays hunting edible mushrooms, this can be a good place to learn skills and meet other mycophiles. Similar wild plant foraging groups can also be found. Check for facebook or google groups local to your area, check local colleges and universities for mycology or botany clubs, see if there is a relevant meetup on meetup.com, if not start one.
While nexus isn't the space for such things, such spaces do exist. Though they may not cater specifically to hunting psychedelic mushrooms or plants, they can teach you valuable skills that will assist you in your personal endeavors; and you may just stumble into some like-minded new friends while you are at it.
