Hi all, after such a weird season last year we have been looking forward to a better one in 2019, so far the weather has been so much better than last year's with a good mix of rain and sun, so we went to look over a few spots just to get out for a walk really and we came across these few, didnt expect to see anything yet, lots of fake ones too, think it's going to be a good season

Uhhhmmm that's a good question lol, wasn't a mass haul and they weren't the biggest of caps but chuffed none the less, this early hopefully a good sign of things to come 👌😉🍄🍄🍄

I don't think the 'Official U.K 2019 Liberty Cap Season' thread has been started yet, so you're entitled to start it.

It's weird that most of the early finds I've seen here and on Facebook seem to be from the south of England, usually they start in Scotland and work their way down! Maybe because it was such a bad season last year, especially in the south?

I was wondering when somebody was going to make a thread. Usually it's up when the very first mushrooms get found by the guys up in the Scottish highlands I was going to start one myself today if nobody else had, even though I haven't managed to find any yet.



Hopefully a moderator can edit the title to get rid of the 'first find of the season' bit so that it's just the traditional ''official uk season 2019'' ect..



Been out hunting twice so far. First time was a week ago and I really didn't expect to find anything because of how nice the weather has been. Turns out I was right. Barely any non-active toadstools, not a single sign of any liberty caps.



Went out again yesterday because it's been raining for a week and the temperature has dropped closer to 15c (which i find is basically the cut off point where they start to die off). Had higher hopes of finding something but still had no luck. Some pan foes which is always a good sign that the weather is right for them, but I'll have to hold out for a little bit.



I think if I go again in another week there will be some for me to pick.



Happy hunting everybody! I'm excited as hell. Let's make it a good season



Post Extras:



Just to get everybody in the mood, here's a picture I posted in the 2016 UK hunting thread of the results of one of my foraging attempts.



I'm honestly so looking forward to that first trip. It's been a long year, my brain needs a spring cleaning that only liberty caps know how to provide.

Looks good! I might have to go on a little hunt this weekend

Depending on where you are, I'd give it another week or two before going out. It's still a little early. Even if you do come across some it's probably best to leave them and give them a chance to spread more.

lol I hadn't read your post before I replied with the same thing. It's always the damn Scottish that show up with their pictures of the first finds of the new season. :P







Some more pics of my finds from previous seasons just to get the thread going a bit.











Post Extras:



Woohoo, it's hunting season!!!



Maybe I'll see one of you guys if you go hunting in the lake district at all! Know a good few spots over there



Post Extras:



Hi, this is only my second season hunting. that last pic looks very similar to what I found last year. I will be going back to the same spot (Sheffield) and I'm wandering if I missed out.https://files.shroomery.org/f iles/19-33/589757479-IMG_20181015 _165331.jpg



Post Extras:



Ffs, if you like look at my gallery pics and let me know if I missed anything active please

Also has anybody found anything in Yorkshire yet

Thanks



Post Extras:



I only know libs. You don't have any. Looks like you have a small fly agaric. Not sure about the larger ones, the pic is not very clear and the white spots (veil remnants) are missing, may have been washed off.



The season lasts until the prolonged frosts of winter hit your area.

It should go without saying, but post here before you eat anything.

Good luck.



BTW, Duggstar. I thought it was customary to datestamp the first finds of the season, by putting them on a copy of a newspaper or somesuch.

I didn't know that, but I don't think there's any written rules. Personally, I'm happy to take the OP's word for it though. Anyway, it's not my post so I'm not sure why the question is directed towards me. Edit: I've checked through all of the current official threads on the first two pages, and none of them were started in such a way. In fact, the official central Florida thread was started with nothing to show whatsoever, and nobody complained. Maybe this is a trend you have noticed on the UK forum over the years, and I agree it's a good idea, but there are no rules about who can start an official thread, or how they go about starting it that I'm aware of.



I don't like the thread title however, I think the 'First find' part should be dropped, and replaced with something like '*NO ID REQUESTS!*'. Maybe the OP can change it, or one of the moderators?

Going to have a look in the hills tomorrow, will update if I find anything.

Woop woop nice to see first finds of the year in Devon! Hi to azzbo and duggstar and everyone else! Will be hitting a location of mine regularly this year as I've moved to a job and town minutes from my first ever finds in 2018! Got to love the law of attraction!!!! Been there once already and theres life in the form of other mushies already. Good luck for 2019 everyone. Cant wait to get my first 2019 finds on here. Weeks away I think, meant to hit less than 10 degrees at night here next week 😁👍😁👌 crappy summer but I can forgive that if I find loads of libs!!!

Why bother eating them if you only have 5? Seems like a waste. To me, shroom hunting is an exercise in patience. You wait all year for the season to come, you wait until you have enough for a trip, you wait until they dry, then you wait until they kick in :P



Seems the only thing you would get from eating 5 wet shrooms on the way home is a nasty taste in your mouth and a belly full of gnat fly larvae.

You answered your own question. We all do this our own way, if I missed the rule book of shrooms I'm sorry but I enjoy microdosing, along with many others. I felt amazing the rest of the day and even the next. I knew I'd get more the next day and now I'm saving them up for a decent trip.



Not sure why I'm justifying myself to you though. Good luck in your searching buddy!

No worries dude, just the way I'm wired. No hard feelings



Post Extras:



Went out for my first hunt of the year (Pendle, East Lancs) since everyone on facebook seemed to be hell bent that the season had started and did manage to find a dozen or so. However, the field yielded no other mushrooms at all (its usually a cornucopia of lookalikes) so I'd hazard that the conditions aren't really ripe here just yet. That said there were sheep in it (there needed to be as the grass is hideously long and its my favourite picking spot in season). Fingers crossed they crop it down quick sharp and get rotated into a another field.



Post Extras:



After last years piss poor performance, i think this year is going to be a stonker!



Post Extras:



Newbie question



Are sheep and horse fields with very short grass acceptable conditions for libs?



Post Extras:



A few things come into factor when hunting for libs I believe.

From what I know(not a professional at all) horse/sheep manure is very helpful for growth along side with weather at least under 60°f, a nice dampish/wet ground and also a high altitude.

But I have seen videos of people finding them in fields with non of those.

*Maybe someone else can expand further

Good luck hunting!

Post Extras:



Very very short grass (as in grazed down to a few cm) isn't the best ime. Libs like damp and a bit of protection from too much sun. So a good few inches of length is best based on my successful hunts.



Post Extras:



Nothing near me yet in Lancashire. Ground still seems way too dry despite last weeks biblical downpours. My best guess is that we need a lot more consistently crap weather as I've seen very few mushrooms in general, never mind magical ones.



Post Extras:



45 minutes in my spot and loads of life compared to last week. Saw a lookalike then bam, 2 little libs side by side. Picked this one to get a better shot and will take with some cubes tomorrow as a micro dose. It's on people gonna be a good season I reckon!





For the non believers.... In my signature pic from last year, prior to ever dosing with libs I chewed my fingernails since I was a kid. One of the addictions I no longer have

This years pic a nice unchewed thumb nail holding the medicine that put a stop to it. Next pic I post I'll buy a newspaper as proof of date. Bit less random than a thumb nail pmsl

Nothing from Scotland yet, but they're showing up in Devon! What's going on? Maybe all the dead grass from last year giving the English a head start? Come on Scots, you're not gonna let the English show you up are you? Slimshady2512, how high above sea level did you find these?

Firstly, I have been waiting for this thread!! Last year was my first season hunting but I lived in a location 12 meters above sea level and needless to say found nothing. I have since moved to an area surrounded by endless medieval farmland and moorland, with the lowest altitude local about 150 meters above and within four miles going as high as 350 meters above. Im so excited for the season and wish everyone the best of luck (I live in south west england) going to head out next day off for a good search as i have been out over the passed couple of weeks and found much activity and even found some pan cinctulus a couple months ago! We have had a great summer to lead us into what i hope is a great season of hunting (by good summer i mean very wet 😅)

Hey, I've already found them at 130m in Northern Ireland last week, a bit further north than you I understand, but I've seen reports already from the south of England, it seems it's started early down there, so I think you have a decent chance. Let us know how it goes.

By the time September comes, shroom season is usually in full swing and the hunt is well and truly on! I’m starting to think that this whole climate change thing might actually be an issue. :p

It's been way too hot here. We've had some rain but it's always followed by days of unrelenting sun. Here's hoping that Autumn finally decides to show up and this ridiculous Summer fucks off. Usually by this time of the year I've had my first trip already. Ah well. The wait goes on.

The fruits of the season are the results of growth that has already happened underground - so picking a mushroom which

has already begun to sporulate is not detrimental to the organism itself, but rather helpful in dispersing the spores for

future propagation.

Went picking yesterday for the first time this year. It took a little while to get going but once I found one, they started showing themselves



In the end, it was the most I've ever picked this early in the season. The problem being I was soaked to the bone within a couple hours. Good times



Here's my official first find. Bless!





Just a couple observations in comparison to last year's picks from the same spot. The overall size are bigger and there is less psilocin in them (very minimal/no blueing), at least for now.



Happy hunting!

I managed to get a couple nice clean plates but had to abandon the project as needed to move house. This house is too small and full of the stuff from the bigger house so cant really set up my work station or grow .



Everyone PLEASE click the link in my signature below, its a petition to legalise shrooms we need alot more signatures to get it in front of people that matter.

Also theres UK based shroomery threads in my signature lots of us on there would be nice to have some new names, UK supplies, UK trades, and UK OTD where you can chat shit with each other for UK shroomerites. ill be setting up a UK specific main page on the forum soon where you can add your own UK threads too.

Hi Ragu

Which part of the UK did you find those little gems?



I’ve been foraging around Dartmoor for the past three weeks and found nothing, getting a bit impatient 😬







@200m in the northern peak district



I believe people are starting to find them around Dartmoor (according to reports on social media). Have you searched a bit further afield from your usual spots?



I must admit that my pickings yesterday were from a part of the field which has been dormant the past three years. While the typical flush area was completely dead, at least for now.



Don't get impatient as it really is early days. To be honest, the fourth of September is the earliest I've ever gone out. I wasn't expecting much but came back with a good two handfuls. As long as the weather stays this way until a heavy frost, it should be a good long harvest this year



Post Extras:



long time watcher, noob poster so please forgive any ignorance.



after refreshing my mind, out all weekend doing a bit of a shroom hunt, not just libertie, although they are a priority. Im mid derbyshire, checking a few sites in the lower peak district, will post any finds!



Post Extras:



Found these this morning on a quick walk in W Yorkshire, we've been getting a lot of drizzle here the last few days and they're starting to pop up in abundance; I ended up leaving far more than I took and didn't even have time to have a proper search, these were just the unmissable ones. I'm not 100% on the top left-most one though; it looks right to me except the gills are creamy colored like the outside of the cap, should I throw it?







Post Extras:



Nah thats defo a lib.... looks like it might be a sterile. Nice find!

Post Extras:



my spots brimming to the max with libs in Rochdale, managed to find a shit load in 90 mins, only had to leave because the weather forced me out. The season is in full bloom here in the north west. Enjoy folks



Post Extras:



Yooooo Mrmazdar, it's going good. I haven't took any psychedelics since last years season, so I'm proper excited about building a big ass pillow fort and tripping balls . Back at college next week to sit my GCSEs since I never got to do them at school, life is fucking good man. All I need now is to meet a cute college girl to help me study :P



Hope you're well brother



Post Extras:



Good good mate, im gonna go get some for printing and maybe a few little trips.

That sounds good mate hope it goes well, a girl who like psychedelics would be a bonus

Post Extras:



Hey guys I've been out today not expecting to find any and I've found loads in my usual spot, more than ever actually! I'm still quite new to this and I'm not sure what to do with the shrooms now, I would like to try microdosing but I'm not sure weather I should freeze them or dry them or what. I've just got them all fresh sitting in a box and I don't want these little maggots to just munch their way through them all



Any help is appreciated thanks guys



Post Extras:



Eat them

Dry them then you dont need to clog the freezer up and need to thaw them and then theyll be all mushy and gross.

The best way to dry is using a food dehydrator, you can pick them up cheap on ebay. They dry quicky and thoroughly, which is what you want to preserve potency. You can do the cardboard and desicant method some potency will be lost and its very difficult to get them fully dry (cracker dry is whats needed as in when you sqeeze between your fingers it turns to dust not just snaps as it could still hold moisture) resulting in loss of potencyand also getting moldy. Then ensure to store in a cool dry place in a sealed baggy.

You could also try an extract with alcohol that way you can measure your dosage especially with micro dosing by using a dropper bottle and dropper or pipette.

Just a few ideas for ya.



P.S. if you go the alcohol method be sure to add water to the alcohol as psilocybin is not very soluble in alcohol, its quite soluable in water. Water is the best extracting solvent for psilocybin. Methanol is better than ethanol at extracting psilocybin but, methanol is a poison so you cant drink it where as ethanol obviously is ok to drink albeit very strong in pure form. Methanol should only be used if the end goal is to evaporate off the liquid to be left with a POWDER/CRYSTAL form that you measure and dose with and always ensure your chemicals are the highest of purity if your gonna be ingesting the product at the end. You dont want any additives like in the stuff you can get in places like B&Q.

Thanks dude, also do you know how hot to have the water if I'm making tea? Boiling water or just under boiling point? I think I've heard that boiling may destroy some psilocybin. Also what is your opinion on a good microdose dose? Do you think two of these fresh libs is a good starting point?

Thanks again mate



Post Extras:



Boiling is fine psilocybin is stable at well over 100°C i think its melting point is arount 440ish°f the biggest issue with water is the oxygen molecules can cause it to oxidise the psilocybin. Warm water will work also it doesnt need to be boiled if your uncomfortable with it. If you use alcohol or alcohol/water mix the boiling point of the liquid will drop anyway due to alcohols lower bp.

Yeah 2 wont make you trip out so youll be safe there with that dose for microdosing. You need a good amount to get full effects.

Post Extras:



Libs don’t hold that much moisture for you to need to use a food dehydrator. I pop mine into the oven, leave the door cracked open, set to 60°C (measured using an external thermometer, not the built in thermostat) and they’re dry in 2 hours or so.

Or if my heating is on, I’ll put them on top of the boiler, they’re always dry within a day.



Post Extras:



Libs are so small you dont need to use a dehydrator just a much more powerful Oven being used as a dehydrator

Yeah i forgot about using an oven with the door open and if not a fan oven it helps to point a fan blowing at it. Boilers will work too if the shrooms turn to dust when you squeeze them its all good. The main point is speed the quicker they dry completely the more potency you keep.

good to see you back for another seasons duggstar.



this pic has convinced me that i should make the journey up to the pennines to do some foraging. i've not been very convinced by the weather that it was worth travelling all the way up there just to find nothing, but i think that 2000 in NW england is pretty much my cue to get out there hunting with the rest of you

I totally agree, I have already collected a lot more already than I did in the entirety of the last season. If the hard frosts don't come along early to spoil it, I think we could really be in for a epic season!

Nice walk on Dartmoor this afternoon and picked 25 over a few hours. That's already loads more than I found in total last season so far.



Stumbled on a nice little bunch (fairy ring?) when I wasn't even expecting to see any as well. I was knelt down so engrossed in picking them and someone walked by me with their dog without me realising they were there until they were very close. I looked up, shared a cheery hello with them and carried on picking haha. A few years ago that would have made me paranoid/freaked me out like I was doing something wrong, but now I just get on with it and let people think what they want to.



Happy hunting everyone.

Just such a ridiculous joke that it's illegal to pick something which grows naturally.



Would love not to look furtive and suspicious but there's always gonna be that one miserable fuck who has nothing better to do than make someone else's life worse and call the police... I still try to keep a low profile where possible, just safer that way. Is a real shame that it has to be that way though.

It is crazy, and the only reason why I used to be paranoid when out picking them. To be fair I am still cautious and try not to make myself too obvious. If the dog walker had paid more of an interest in me or looked displeased with my actions I'd probably have moved on quickly, but she was fine and more interested in her dog. I also tend to be stay in areas where I have a reason to be there as a walker, e.g. in public or permissive space rather than closed fields, although I did find a mother-load in a closed field once.

in truth i dunno , but have gone back to locations after a week or so and found more. the weather (temp and rain), the different conditions in different fields seems to be most important. also you cannae rule out someone getting there day or so before and grabbing latest crop.



best thing to do would be to go exploring for more spots on similar ground and then always have backups

Ah, pickers trip, I know exactly what you mean. I tend to be very sensitive to psilocybin and can trip on quite a small amount of libs, and too have felt things going on when I've been out picking and found a decent amount. You cam definitely feel the magic.



When I pick the darker coloured wet mushrooms I often hold them in a cupped hand for a while as I walk before putting them in a bag, as I find the heat from my hand and increased airflow can help dry them out quicker. You can see them turning a creamier colour as they dry so I do wonder what could get absorbed through the skin.

Yeah I'd say I'm quite sensitive to small amounts too, but I won't lie this took me by surprise haha really wasn't expecting it. Thankfully it was only a very brief experience though, I was out in the middle of nowhere in the pissing down rain so probably not the best time for a surprise trip!

Gets out of the car at the park, broad daylight, loads of people kicking about. My workmate starts rummaging in his boot and then starts putting on a pair of latex medical gloves. He thought he might be tripping back in the office by handling them.

I was like "fuck sake, what you doing there, lad?"

I'm trying to be discreet, he looks like he's about to strangle a jogger in some bushes.

Starting to get a bit fucking impatient now, boys! Haha ffs this weather is shit. Everybody else is just glad to get an extra long summer and is enjoying the nice weather. Whereas everybody on this board that has been looking forward to Autumn all year... well, personally I’m feeling a little bit cheated! By the time September comes, shroom season is usually in full swing and the hunt is well and truly on! I’m starting to think that this whole climate change thing might actually be an issue. :p



I might have to do some sort of tribal rain dance or perform a sacrifice to the God of rain or some shit. WHERE THE FUCK IS AUTUMN ???







Firstly stop quoting people that are simply above you in the comment box , really annoying....

Secondly , Autumn is 21st September marked by equinox, you getting mad late July ..... this place becomes a joke every season.....



First days hunts out has always been between late September and around 8-10th October for Suffolk on average , missing out seasons like the last .....



September , the season is never in full swing where are you getting that shit from ,. dependant on location , how dry spring /summer has been , how long it generally stays dry for..... but regardless



Chill ya beans , coz it vernally still late summer , taste of autumns will happen but spikes in temperature will also still happen, hence why I save it till late September into October for it to be worth while , instead of out to find 2 or 3 , or even miss a spot that could be grand when it’s actually ready ..... late July ass wipe , you wrote that , makes no sense to me .... your misleading new comers like that blazy peanut....



Strong word of advice , weather for the U.K. this year is no where near as dry and prolonged as lasts for entire U.K. - check the weather record if in doubt , you should of been saying this crap last year in October , not 30th July.....



All I have to say and will say ....



Have a good season !

Boy am I glad to come across this thread. This will be my first time tripping on shrooms and hunting. I've only tripped on DMT, honestly, about 12 breakthroughs. Never done LSD or mescaline etc. Tripped off MDMA but that's different.



I know how liberty caps like to grow. They prefer the grassland. When I was looking at what mushrooms have psilocybin in the UK I came across quite a few. Apparently there's some species that like to grow on more woodland type areas. I grew some outdoor weed plants on some wasteland and there was mushrooms everywhere last year, lots on the bark/wood/near tree roots etc. Lots looked exactly like the ones I seen on the internet.



Is it all about the libs or do the other ones do the trick as well? I will go to that place tomorrow and if there's out there I will take photos. There should be some due to the mornings being a tad frosty recently and people are finding them nearby to where I am.



The 'Psilocybe cyanescens' is the species they looked just like.



Post Extras:



Man, you guys are killing it over there this year! I love the looks of those libs. To me, the quintessential psilocybin mushroom type with such a deep history. Keep the pics coming!

Hi all, hope your'e well.



Just thought id post this link which i came across a few weeks back upon googling for any information regarding mushroom season 2019 here in the uk which, consequently, yielded up this great thread i have been stalking from the shadows.



I originally only created my account here to enquire as to whether other users were having difficulty finding anything.



The year before (2016), my very last pick was December 15 which, as a lot of you will know, is quite late but not out of the question.



It would seem that the last few years have been exhibiting a trend in terms of how late they might come and given last years ridiculously long and beautiful summer it makes sense now to me why they were so thin on the ground during the time we would traditionally expect them to be and as a result i simply gave up.



I wont give up so early this year but also, as one of the above posters has stated, apart from sporadic yields (depending where you are) it is still relatively very early and would advise against picking at this time as you may actually be taking the progenitors of any potential harvest you may have had, say, a month or so hence.



My two bobs worth. Anyway, great thread guys and wish you all the best for this year.

Alex

Cyanescens are the wood lovers that grow in the UK, they do also do the job but you should definitely make sure you get a proper identification on them as there are dangerous lookalikes.



By contrast, you're unlikely to find anything that looks like a lib and would kill you. If you find cyans you're very lucky imo as they seem to be far more uncommon.

Thanks for the reply man.



I will go tomorrow and get some pictures of what's there. I love that bit of overgrown wasteland/woodland. I say woodland because it has bits of woodland that's very shaded and has lots of decaying wood, tree roots that grow above the surface due to the shade, where them cyan mushrooms will like to grow to my understanding.





I would have done another weed grow on there but it got occupied nearby with a heroin user living on there. There's got to be lots of fungi on there now. I just read up a bit on the cyans and read up a bit about the lookalikes you need to avoid. I won't put anything in my body unless I have confirmation. I'll put pics on here.



I'm still going to look for lib caps in the appropriate places, I already know where to go for lib caps, my uncle even knows where loads of those grow each season where it's just perfect conditions as long as the weather's right. I will look in the same bit but highly unlikely to find any in that kind of environment that I think the cyans could be growing at. There is patches of nice grass next to ditches full of water though.





To my understanding we are now at about the time to go out picking aren't we?



E2a: Somebody earlier in the thread said give it some time before picking. Makes sense to me. Temps can easily go up 10c within in a week. I dunno though, I'm a complete newbie to shrooms. I will just go looking for now, not picking. If they're there, I'll just take photos and have some of you experienced guys tell me if they're safe or not.

Reading through this thread, interesting stuff!

First season for me, scoped a few spots the hunt is on, hopefully you can all help me ID some tasty bois soon!



Post Extras:



Certainly is buddy. I'm looking really forward to it. I'm just researching it all now lol.



Post Extras:



Definitely the season is underway so you might as well get out and start looking/hunting. Will probably be easier to get good pics of picked shrooms, but as long as you get close, an ID can easily be done on most in-situ shrooms.



As you say, think we are due a hotter week which might shrivel a load of em, but afaik that's the last hot week of the year so should hopefully be an incredible season if we get a few days of good rain to get the ground damp and then some nice cool mornings with dew on the grass

Afternoon Gents!



Hope we're all well. First hunting season for me, had liberty's in the past and would like to try some again!



Travel the UK for work so will hopefully be able to nab a few =D.

Pretty sure peak district should be under way. Can't remember if I spotted anyone mention their hunts there in this thread but they seem to be popping up all over so should be good to go!



In terms of hints, I'd say just start by covering ground, don't scrutinise one spot too heavily. If you've got access to a car, drive to a potential area, have a 10-15 minute look and if nothing, move on. Once you start finding other LBMs, then start looking properly. If you find a lib, get to work on that area hard - tends to be that where there's one there's many.



Most of all, good luck at that's probably the biggest factor when starting out!!



Post Extras:



Cracking day for it chaps & chapettes. Nice sunny weather making it miles easier to spot the Libs but also meant a lot more walkers and so didn't get to stick around for as long as I'd wanted to.

Brilliant thanks for the tips, I'll keep my eyes peeled, and let you guys know if/what I find!!



I've heard that if you take some whilst searching it can help to find more as they become more pronounced and you spot them easier, is there any truth to that?

There definitely are rumours that low doses help with edge detection, but mainly, if you take a few, you'll just get the mildly stimulating effects which might keep you more alert and paying attention to what you're looking for.



I'm hoping to get out on a hunt tomorrow myself, hopefully the weather stays this nice, should be an absolute beauty of a day for it

Post Extras:



So I don't know if anyone here believes in synchronicity / meme magic, and (as a generally quite rational person) I'm still not sure I do, but get this.



So I've been out today in the south west, half looking, but mainly just learning a new area, taking in the sights, getting some fresh air etc. And I'm aware of a few mushrooms as I'm walking through various fields and on footpaths. Find a really nice looking spot, pretty wild untended grass and decide to stop for lunch. Whack my T-shirt on the ground to dry a bit in the sun coz its sweaty as fuck and decide to scout around the field a bit while having a drink .



Plenty of LBMs but no libs, easy to spot too, even wandering around aimlessly not really getting down close to the ground. Anyway, no luck so I head back to my T-shirt and rucksack to get some food. Sit down and as I do, I think something along the lines of "meme magic I'll probably spot one while I'm sat here" and no word of a lie, hand to heart, swear to god, I look BETWEEN MY LEGS and there are two.



Pretty shrivelled but definite winners. I'm not even gonna lie, I'm a bit spooked. I can rationalise it away like, I'm closer to the ground, I'm not moving, I've got nothing else to do but look, but still. The one and only spot (and I've done more looking around since then because y'know where there's one...)



I dunno guys, what do you reckon? Mother Nature throwing me a bone? Did I just literally manifest reality?



Edit: here's the one I spotted, the other was just out of the shot







And for anyone interested, this was fairly near Wells (a bit north of Glastonbury) at about 100m above sea level.

No libs in there, sorry mate. Check the post just above your first one for the three close up shots. It's more of a pointed nipple you're after.



They do grow in similar conditions to the shrooms you found an you're probably in the right track, just keep looking. And it's very early in the season still do plenty of time. Good luck

Here was the first shroom I found this season. A beautiful specimen is a good omen for the rest of the year







A big one I thought deserved it's own photo

All my finds after giving them a quick rinse. Not many but it's still early in the season and I gave up looking fairly quickly.







And here they are this morning after starting to dry out over night.

Has anyone seen any libs around Hampshire? I see people from Devon with finds on the thread, but I didn't realise somewhere that southernmost would have libs this early into the season, considering the weather we've been having down south. Admittedly it's a different county and you guys might be having some rain, but here in Hampshire it's been quite hot with a couple of colder mornings.

I’m in between you Hampshire and Devon folk in Dorset, I’ve had 4 mooches in the usual spots that always come up trumps but it’s dry as a bone and nothing to be found, still very early though for sure, 1st week of October is normally a banker for me!! Roll on the rains next week

Ahh, it sucks man! I guess it is still fairly early into the season, but the weather forecast for the next little while it doesn't look great. It's been bone dry

I think it's just taking a while longer for us southern folk to get the rain, understandably so, though. It doesn't look like we're going to have much rain here in Hampshire until the beginning of October at least, but hey, it's early into the season at the moment and it was a very hot summer.

We've had no rain in literally 2 weeks. Not a single fungi in sight around my spots. Plus depends on what time of day they were picked.

Could have been picked in the sun after a few days after a rain?



Co durham definitely needs some rain!



Post Extras:



I have lots of signs of fungi growing even in the woodland/wasteland. Would help a lot if the weather wasn't so dry and warm though. Like I say earlier in the thread I'm newbie so I might say something and not know what I'm talking about. I'm still going to go to where I'm most likely to find libs though, not just woody areas for that cyan type I was familiar with but, could just be a look alike. Just means going further to the fields. I don't know whether to go look tomorrow or wait.



Would hunting tomorrow be worth bothering?



I'm getting 21c daytime temps and 13c night time.



Post Extras:



I'd say no, think the temp range is below 5c at night and 10c during the day. Or at least there abouts, I couldn't find an exact fruiting conditions any where which would be useful



Post Extras:



Yeah it's too warm I would say but what do I know, I havent found a single mushroom this year haha if you have the time and energy theres no harm in looking and going for the walk anyway but they dont like the milder weather.



Hope the temps from the the rain fall comes by the beginning of October!



Post Extras:



I reckon it needs to be below 15 degrees in the daytime and 10 degrees at night. If there's been recent rain all the better. Best place to look is wherever there's sheep, moorland especially. Happy hunting!



Post Extras:



It's strange, last year i had a dream about picking early October and went on to find quite a few.



This year a similar dream came in mid-September. Hopefully it's another good sign!



West Midlands, so I'll let anyone local know if I'm successful!



Post Extras:



The weather has got too hot again sadly. Pretty sure they will have all died off by now, unless you went picking a week ago you're probably going to have to wait for another week or two before you'll find any shrooms again.



Post Extras:



A few different fungi where I hunt today but no sign of any libs. Last find was 3 over a week ago. However.... and I never thought I'd hear myself say it, theres rain forecast from saturday all of next week!!! Wahoo!!! Temps dropping to 10 or below towards the end of it. Gonna be out getting wet and mucky every chance I get ;D

Happy hunting folks!

Hello All,



This will be my first attempt at finding Lib Caps. Really looking forward to getting out there and having a hunt around. Any advice would be super appreciated . I have no idea where to even start!

My first thought is to look up on the hills, nice and early in the morning. I’m in the Gloucestershire area, and I hear they are really common around these parts. So hoping to stumble on a good patch. I won’t hold my breath though!!!



Hope you all do well this season
