Liberty cap season started in Holland, with pics!!
    #6201829 - 10/23/06 12:15 PM (5 years, 7 months ago)

Hey all!

I read about a liberty cap find in Holland this weekend, so I figured time had come to check on a promising spot myself. Mushrooms all over the place and I'm happy to report that most were libs! Here are the pics:

Psathyrella?


This species kinda drew attention:


Inactive pans all around as well:


But this is why you clicked this thread: psilocybe semilanceata!










Picked 350 shrooms in 3.5 hours. Not bad, but it appears that the season is just kicking off. I'll try to find the time to go hunting some more during the following weeks and hopefully post some better pics!

nice semies.

your second find is a Bolbitius. this is a small genus which as far as i know is generaly just arbitrated into two groups, the yellow and the non yellow species. they are about as ephemeral as the small coprinellus species.

i've not read much about them.

Thanks all!

@coon: yeah, I'm going to enjoy those alright :wink: Planning on a bioassay of this haul for Thursday.

@concrete: thanks, bolbitious indeed seems to be a good tip. I looked up another (wood loving, in this case) yellow bolbitious and I see a lot of similarity. This must be the same genus.

Nice! Lucky you, I hope luck is coming this way too!

Enjoy your trips. Is this going to make you a year-long stock of shrooms?

Sweet finds and pics again! That first one does remind me of Psathyrella for some reason. It doesn't look like a species that I have found before though. :shrug:
I can think of another possibility or two for genus still.

Thanks! I don't know how long these'll last me, but to quote Fear and Loathing: "Once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can." So I guess the question is kinda irrelevant: I'll go out and gather more if I have the chance :grin:

Oh, btw, yeah, the world isn't fair. I'm living in a country with one of the most liberal views on psychoactive drugs and we happen to have a brilliant climate and farming culture to support libs. But rest assured: we are enjoying it to the max, so these opportunities don't go to waste!
