Definitely not liberty caps (Psilocybe semilanceata) in Queensland, or in summer. They only grow in cold places (in the mountains of Vic and Tas) in autumn.
You should look for cubes and Pan cyans
timmi is right but times are changing not to mention the climate! who knows what could pop up these days they say spores come from outta space to get here so what stops them from landing right here in aus! hahaha

The P. semilanceata spores will land, but they will not grow into fruits unless the conditions are right. They like colder places.

Probably because hunting is approximately 100 times more fun than growing.

Probably because hunting is approximately 100 times more fun than growing.
I agree hunting for mushrooms is plenty of fun but I find hunting for actives pretty risky still, it might be a case of the old paranoia, paranoia, everybody's coming to get me, but I personally don't think home growing is as much of a risk, I know the penalties are greater, but the chance of getting caught is diminished because you don't draw attention to yourself like you do walking through farmer joes paddock with a paper bag in hand. And I've always found my homegrowns to be nearly constantly double the strength of wild grown shrooms.
Would much rather hunt for non active fungi, there's more variety, and it's much more interesting than just constantly finding the same 5 or so prolific dung loving species you find around here. I think I might just like the surprise and intrigue of finding a mushroom you've never scene before growing.
There is something very cool and mystical about hunting cubensis an pan cyans around here though, around the glasshouse mountains which is where I normally go is probably my favourite place in the world. I think there is something ancient and primal about hunting for actives, moreso when you actually find a killer patch, it's like mother nature has smiled upon you and given you a gift to help you get closer to her hahaha.
The reality of it is that they grow like weeds everywhere the conditions are right. So just a note to people who have been struggling to find any lately and blaming it on people taking to much , if we've had a decent amount of rain, they will be growing fucking everywhere the conditions are right and getting a feeling for where and when the conditions are the best takes practice, I've been hunting 3 times this season at 3 different places I've never been to before (more to find specimens for cloning) and I haven't come home empty handed yet. They are very prolific around here so I would more attribute failed hunting trips, to poor timing and looking in the wrong places before I would ever blame other pickers.
A little tip is to take note of the different places you do find them when you do, what I mean is take note of the temperatures both min and max, where in the field you found them ie out in the open, under trees, along a creekbed, in a gully, the length and kind of grass in which it was found, other plants that are growing (scotch thistle for example is pretty common in most of the fields ive found actives), and you will get a feel for where to look during the different parts of the season, as they will move around depending on the temperature, for example during the start of the season when it's still warming up, I tend to find more out in the open fields, and when it gets really hot in the middle of summer they will fruit in cooler parts of the field, like along creekbeds and more sheltered parts of the field. It also pays to get to know the other summer dung loving mushrooms as well as they will help you get a feel for where to find actives to.
Knowledge is power so get informed! Happy Hunting!!

Sorry Alan, didn't mean to annoy you with my post, just sharing my personal experience and opinions, which are both subjective and people can take them for a grain of salt, they're my experiences and personal opinions and it will take my personal experiences to change , I'm sorry. I will be the first one to say they don't count for shit though, its like whats your favourite band? everyone's answer is different, but nobody is more right than the others.
I want to clear some things up also, I personally don't know of anyone who has been arrested growing in Australia, I can't even find an article from a newspaper article online, plenty overseas, i can't find one from Australia, but i personally know people who have been busted picking, as well as others who have had guns pulled on them by rednecks. So maybe environmental factors have changed my opinion on that subject. With regards to that though, they both came unstuck by going to known hotspots, I try to reduce the risk of getting caught by being able to find a different spot every time and in SEQLD you can during the peak of a good season like the one we are having.
With regards to potency, grown vs wild, that was with specific regards to local cubensis and not any other wild species and I'm sorry, I should have been more specific. This has only been my experience though, which notedly, is nothing compared to yours. Do you find wild cubensis are on average more potent than homegrown cubensis? What i wrote is just what i've found in my experience locally, there's so many factors which contribute to potency and it would be hard to test accurately.
What I like about picking actives around over here is the location and the countryside, I love it, fond childhood memories of coming up on holidays through here, the hills and the mountains and the coastline, its my favourite place in the world, i wanna retire around there, i used to love it out there long before i even knew about mushrooms, I guess its just a personal thing.
Sorry again if i offended you Alan, full respect for your work and contribution over the years. I hope this cleared things up and I would love for you to point out any misinformation i might be spreading unknowingly, I obviously don't mean to, but is there a better place to share my limited local experience than in this local thread?

Hi, I was not annoyed, just sharing my point of view.

No, don't be sorry. I disagree with people all the time, it doesn't mean anything.

I was comparing wild P. cyanescens to cultivated cubensis, not a fair comparison. That is just how it works in California. Not that you care how it works in CA in the QLD thread.

No way, I was not offended, just offering a different point of view. Sorry if I sounded annoyed. Really I was not.

I'm glad, sounds like were on the same page, I think the beauty of this site is that you get alot of different opinions with which you can make an informed decision for yourself, you keep whats useful and disragard what isn't, and having done alot of reading on this site, I have always highly regarded your opinions and respect the work done so that's probably why I didn't want to get you offside.

I think you are both wrong 
Seriously though, Nthused I think there is only one active out of all those you just posted. Maybe a Panaeolus cinctulus (the one with the dark band around the cap) and the rest are inactive.

yehhhhp probs one cintculus there but oh well better luck next time try a different location. as for the potency of wild vs homegrown i'd say homegrown are like the hydro of shrooms and wild is like bush, so what im trying to say is that hydro will always fuck u up no doubt meanwhile the bush is random one patch could be more potent then others i find on different fields the potency changes alot!

Hey guys, I went for a hunt today & was successful BUT......!!!
I went for a hunt in the usual spot that I know P.Cubes grow there was only about 6 different mushrooms all up I'm not sure they might be Cyans or not but 1 Turned really blue & I'm colour blind & I seen it "I can't usually see the blue when you crack the stem of a P.Cube"
Anyway I thought I might go somewhere else,the place was on a similar road but further out.
Got 5 bags of cow & horse Poo before hand.
I then went for a drive to the place I seen & wanted to try, the field was empty and nothing looked the same as the Google earth Pictures at all, so I went down this no through road that had 2 dead ends each way, anyway there is a closed walking track near there, so I seen something in the field that resembled a mushroom with all these cows around but it was on a property.
Anyway I Parked away from the spot, followed the edge line of the property, went in there for like 4 mins then this ute comes down the road....."SHIT"... bolted under the barb wire into the bush and hid the bag, then this dude comes out of his car after looking and moving his car around trying to see me as I seen his car dead on & he would of seen me. I started to roll a smoke thinking he seen me then he popped up and said "are you alright", I'm like "yeah just rolling a smoke and looking at the cows", then hes like "ok", I said "what are you doing" then he replied with "I live here" I said "oh ok, Hey man do you reckon I could go into the paddock at all" ? "for mushies" he said I'm like "yeah", and he said "just stay around the back, I said "thanks" & that was it.
Anyway I went all over the place, found heaps of nice ones & big ones
then left, then went across the road to check out that empty field just for a gander since It looked relaxing with a dam & all "mind you I already put the mushies away" 
Then while walking back to the car from that other field I just checked out, I wasn't even in the property because the fence line divided it all so I didn't go in far and then this fella stopped in his ute with a P plate at the T intersection and I thought it was that fella I talked to cause he was around my age maybe 5+ years older, so I looked at him and smiled then kept walking.
Anyway getting closer it wasn't him and he starts yelling at me, calling me from what I could hear a, "Fucking cunt, Your Picking mushies, fuckin don't lie, I'll shoot you & put a bullet in ya cunt, do you want to walk home ya cunt", then my thong broke, and as I was fixing it he reversed up from where he was, Lined my car up head on, then floored it almost into my car and stopped just before it, While I'm screaming out Sorry (You Know Whats the best thing can you do but apologize to crazy people & hope for the best) 
Then while I'm over near him and my car He says to me "You cunt, pickin fuckin mushies, I'm like "I wasn't I was just looking at the fields", he replied with "Don't lie you fucking junkie cunt, I'll shoot you next time I see you, fuck off cunt", & drove away, all with a beer in his hand while driving and the looked like a Bogan living in the 80's Hairstyle and Beard
I Got in my car & drove away, thinking "I'm never going back there again, & started thinking if it was that fellas Old Man :S
Atleast the outcome on the Shrooms side was good, all P.Cubes 
I think if this spot doesn't take Off I usually go to, because the mycellium has died off, I Might have to go for some Longer trips to somewhere Out around North & South of Brisbane.
Just thought I'd share my Story about my trip today & Thinking about it if I left straight away it wouldn't of happened & wonder if KARMA had a role in this

Haha Yeah I'm pretty sure we could of taught him a lesson together, but leaving that place alone would probably be best, I got a massive almost 20 cm tall Goldy with a massive cap there so atleast I took the king of all Shrooms from their Paddock hahaha Fuckers
