any info u can provide to help me in my shroom hunt?

[BleedMETAL]

every day this season, ive spent hours of free time scouting out potential habitats that Cyanescens are said to grow in. Even in the most picture perfect conditions like wood mulch caked with layers of damp molding and decaying twigs, branches, pine needles, pine cones, straw, and dead leaves (varying ratios of each) in an area where they are reporteded to be common (state of washington) and nearing the end of their prime season but yet not a single trace of them has been found. i even look at the ground obsesivley whenever i walk through town. nothing. what am i doing wrong? everything is cued up and literally embodying the very essence that is fall, thru dozens of habitats that would provide these shrooms a silver platter of utterly gluttonus proportions (a massive hillside with 3-5 inch layers of each and every one of the desirable substrates) yet nothing as come up. why? please help me out, their has to be a reason why these shrooms are nowhere to be found in an area they are said to be common (even in areas hidden and not readily available to the public where people may walk by and discover them) i just dont want my efforts to go to waste you know? thank you in advance for your support.
