Psilocybin semilanceata, ok habitat?
    #10955308 -

Hi all,

New here and have read the stickies etc but if Im doing something wrong dont hesitate to tell me.

I've been researching Mushrooms for the past year trying to gather as much info as I can before I try some active ones. Perhaps a bit cautious but better safe than sorry.

I've decided to go hunting soon as the weather here is looking ok, between 12-16 celsius and rainy with intermittent sun. The place I am going looking is called "The Curragh" its a huge area where sheep graze and there arent many people/fences etc.

The purpose of this thread is to ask is this the kind of area Id expect to find Libs or is the grass too short, too many bushes and not lush enough? Here are a few pics:



and some sheep:





There is also a Horse race course near which has somewhat longer, more lush grass. Better there?

Thanks for the help.

Nice one. Literally 5,000 acres of that type of land. I'm bound to find something? Right?....right?:smile:

I went looking earlier today for a bit and no luck really, found some shrooms but Id be fairly sure they are not caps. Bit too early I suspect.

That's up to the shroom gods. I've seen perfect habitats with no mushrooms in them. The right spores need to be present there at some point, too. :shrug:

I didn't think that looked like the United States.

It may be a little early, but I have no idea what it is like in Ireland. Liberty caps are usually abundant around clumps of sedge grass in the damper parts of the field. Wait for fall to fully kick in and you may have more luck.

Overall it looks like you have a great picking spot, provided the spores have made their way there, as German Kahuna said above.

I was only joking about the Seattle thing.:smile:

Yeah I think you are right, bit too early. A quick question though, what type of weather should I be looking for to precede my hunts?

Temperature wise? 10-15 Celsius during the day and colder at night? And should it be quite rainy a few days before hand or just the night/day before hand?

Thanks again.

I am not sure of the temperature, but I start looking the day after a good rain. It sometimes takes a few days, but I get too excited to wait. Even a light rain will make some mushrooms begin to appear, and I study them all.

lots of cold rain and no serious frosts. that [and a couple weeks] is really all it takes to get them fruiting.

it's a little early for libs in the uk man, i would hold off for another month and let the temps drop some more before going out looking for them :yesnod:

your best bet is to wait until this forum is flooded with european p. semilanceata threads (in a few weeks time)
then go to look so that you will know for sure that if there are any present in the area you are hunting, then they will be fruiting.
if you go out too early then you could be covering ground that hasn't started fruiting yet.

you may get an early flush during august if the weather has been fairly wet and cool, but it's not usual.
i haven't had any good hauls for the past few years until well into october.

the habitat does look good though :thumbup:

Dude, you aren't around in the hunting forums enough. While it might be a bit early for the big yields, we've been seeing them spotted for about a month now, due to the rather shitty weather in June and July.

Good for us, bad for anyone who actually likes their summers warm and sunny (I gotta admit that while I am in lust with fungi, I do appreciate a hot and sunny summer).

i know that there have been a few finds, but this guy is obviously a n00b.
the best thing for a new hunter is to go out when there are lots of shrooms to find, not to be fighing over scraps.

ah. i could be in love with about 1 month of dry summer, temps never over 100 and good mushroom hunting weather the rest of the year. maybe some really cold weather in there too, towards the end of the year.

or to do what i usually do, and start going out daily while it's still early, and not giving up till the mushrooms start rising to the challenge.

Yup Im completely a noob but I dont mind going out and finding "potential" habitats for when the full season does come in. That way I can have places earmarked to search properly.

no doubt that persistence is key.
it really helps to know that the area you are hunting will produce the desired mushrooms at some point though.
which is why i would advise new hunters to wait until the season is in full swing before heading out so that they don't cover ground multiple times for no rewards.
