Yeah.. I've been sick plus working so I haven't got out lately either! I'm hoping maybe Friday!... Let me know when you finally have some luck.. I've heard good things about the Semi's over in Germany too! My girlfriends Family was originally from over there... Her Oma & Opa talked about the kids picking around where they were raised lol!

Naw... I've been picking Libs since I was real young.. Since all I knew them by was "Shrooms"... I've taken pics of all kinds of odd mushrooms but I don't pick what I'm not 100% on and Libs are kinda my specialty! You definitely want an expert with you if you're gonna pick anything you can't completely positively identify!.. I'm self taught and have come to learn a lot of what we were told as kids were bogus myths! lol When I was young and stupid I did drink a tea that "friends" of mine brewed later to find out what they had picked didn't appear to be libs! I found an article about a "new" variety of shrooms being studied and found it closely matched what they had picked!.. I've never come across any more literature on the subject though or even across what they had picked again... as I said though definitely enlist an expert before you pick any "It might Be's"....

Hey...I live in Victoria city on Vancouver Island...does anyone know if it's possible to find magic mushrooms here in town...or do I need to find a cow pasture up Island (Cowichan?)...I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Yea for sure, i haven't even found my first active yet. I am waiting for all this rain to hold up, then I am going to hunt. Is long grass or shorter grass better to find libs? i have been hunting in the golf course behind my house, I have found many mushrooms but no libs!

I'm going to go look in some popular fishing spots/dirt roads leading to secluded areas in the country side when the rain holds up. Tall grasses, I would assume. less lawn mowing activity = more shrooms. or I would assume, I've never gone hunting before.

Well Mithras I’m not sure this is the best place to post that question…. This is more about “liberty Caps” and peoples experiences with habitat…I’m definitely not an expert!... especially about the West Coast but I’m pretty sure I’ve heard of people picking in Victoria. Whether or not they were Libs I don’t know!... You should possibly start your own thread or ask a professional maybe!... Pigpen03 I have a friend who said he used to get them in Brampton and Milton.. No Idea if they’re anywhere near you?… I’d suggest posting the question elsewhere would probably be your best bet as well!.. Good luck Hunting!

Zig-Zag I hope you have better luck than I did with the Golf Courses around here!... I’ve combed the one “Up from the Bridge Terminal” Pretty extensively in past years with no luck! …. As for the short grass/long grass question also asked by Envix… I would try not to assume anything! Lol ... Libs seem to vary in different areas… I’ve found patches, of a few hundred, on very short well mowed lawns many times… A Baseball Field Frequented by massive “Ride-on Mowers” was one of my best spots for years! .
However… The last few I found were amongst almost knee high grass on the edge of a mowed field that still had “Mulch” scattered across it but no mushrooms… Personally I find my best spots now are… of average grass length with “Tufts” of long grass or, along “Ridges” where different grasses, or varying length grasses merge!... Since the taller grass creates shade it makes for cooler temperatures, which then result in more moisture staying in the area longer… This seems to generate very healthy looking specimens which literally “rise to the challenge” and manage to be seen protruding from the long thick grass!... Once you’ve found them in particular ways you’ll develop a gut feeling from the look of an area… it helps but… As I said.. try not to assume what they like too much!... Once you know they are local to your area take the time to look at different locations… you might be pleasantly surprised to find a place you would often pass is actually now your spot!

went looking today between classes at a graveyard. no luck.. :[

I'd look in cow pastures if I wasn't afraid of getting caught. They're pretty open areas.

Yeah I walked around tha Darkside this week.... nada..lol..it sucks, I wish the commons had them... it would be so simple then!.. They seem to just be on certain Sods and not on "Natural" grass around here!.. I'm gonna try Halifax tomorrow or maybe figure out somewhere to try in Spryfield!... Good Luck with your hunt!...I'll post them if I find them!

Yeah Tripcat... our season here has been really late and short the last few years!... My first find this year was the last day of September which isn't so bad though!
Mikael good to hear you guys are having a great season over there in Finland! :grin:

.. I wish our liberty caps started popping up in August lol!.. It seems to be an incredible day for hunting here so hopefully I'll have some good pics myself to post later on tonight!.. thanks for the feedback and good luck hunting!

Well there's been lots of rain for the last week and it's had an average minimum temperature of around 7*C... My main spot got Pillaged but I still found a separate area which netted me around 80-100 caps!.. It's been my best haul this year but nothing great!... The last few days have probably been Peak days for sure, but I've been stuck working! :mad2:

.... Hopefully the rest of you are enjoying the season and not stuck at work as well! Here's a few crappy pics I took, as I was in a rush and it was getting dark!........Good luck Hunting!... I hope I'm there soon!

Well it definitely seems like rain for a week, followed by a couple days of cool dryer days triggered the first "Wave"... It's been on average below 10*C for the last week with the coldest days just passing.... Most of the specimens I found today were mature "Sun-ripe" caps (Golden & Weathered) I generally take that to mean good conditions the last couple days as it seems that's when most of them grew & it was the best groups I've seen this year!... Zig-Zag I'm wondering if you've had any luck yet?... I might be able to point you in a direction after I go investigate a new spot I have yet to confirm lol.. here's the pics

Well...with below average temps and a few thick frosts I thought The season may have died already!.. but after too many days working, I finally got out today and managed to grab a few caps!...the camera wasn't set properly and I was rushed so... I don't really have any worthy pics but I'm posting some poor quality pics of a "Mutant" that looks like it has one cap on another or something!... most of the caps I got today were extremely small, malformed, beat up or just not very typical looking!...I'm wondering are these just the last stragglers of the year?... or a few that weren't waiting for better conditions?.. anyway here's the crappy pics of the ugly Cap!
