How does one find a good drug dealer?

How does one find a good drug dealer in NYC or anywhere? Specifically, I'm looking for mushrooms. Tried them 15 years ago (loved it) and haven't been able to find them since. High-potency marijuana and other hallucinogens also good.
The general answer is "ask a friend of friend" but my network is lacking. How does one go about doing this without coming across like a narc? And I'd rather avoid spending on a ticket to Amsterdam -- I want my fun in New Amsterdam.

This probably isn't what AskMe is for.

I've a feeling this question is not long for this board, but I will warn you that it is a bad idea to buy anything more serious than marijuana from someone whose full, actual name you don't know. Mushrooms and other hallucinogens are more serious than marijuana.

Go hang out in the seedier areas, people will come to you. Greyhound bus depot bathrooms...
Don't buy drugs from people who offer them to you.
Try bartenders.

Yeah, this is a kind of shady question. BUT, basically what edgeways said. You can't truly trust a source you don't know, but if you're willing to take that risk, just walk around some shady areas. In Philly at least, there's always a few people whispering 'need dope?'.

Look for music scenes that are conducive to psychedelic drugs.
If you can get weed, use that as a step towards non-narc-ish drug advancement. (e.g. smoke somebody up, and mention that you really wish you knew where to get shrooms... if you do this in the right places, and are friendly, somebody will help you.)

a 'friend of mine' regularly purchased everything you mention in washington square park. sellers openly approached 'him' this was late eighties thru early nineties. 'he' says he doesn't know what it's like there now since he doesn't live in ny anymore.
what about hanging out in bars, buying drinks for folks who look like-minded, and then offering to buy them something else if they can hook it up. only narcs come off as narcs. be yourself.

Wear a sign around your neck stating that you wish to buy drugs. Start it with "hey, niggers!" to show that you are "street" and not a cop. Also, put the spanish translation underneath: "Yo cago en la leche de tu puta madre."
Wear the sign to Washington Heights and walk around a bit.

I wouldn't buy anything in Washington Square Park unless you want to get arrested. Although I've seen what looked like actual transactions going on, it's pretty much common knowledge that nearly every dealer there is a cop looking to arrest idiot NYU students.

maybe you would look less like a narc if you didn't post the question on askme.

you need to improve your social network ... the more friends you have, the more friends of friends you can get in contact with
really, were you expecting someone to come up with a phone number you could call? ... an address for "drugs r us" in brooklyn?
it'll take time and a lot more discretion than you showed by asking this question here

Delete. Answering this question may be considered participation in a conspiracy to purchase illegal narcotics.

Then again if I used them I'd never consider buying drugs from an unknown source.
