Good luck mate. Way too warm and dry around London.

Yes, two of them are definitely Liberty Caps.

Just chuck 'em down. A man standing next to a pile of picked mushrooms is very hard to form as the basis for a conviction. Different if they find a load in your house, too, or on your camera.

I doubt I'll find any cyans but they've been spotted 3 or 4 miles away.

Cyans are native to North America, though. They're so rare here because they're an introduced species. Climate-wise it's pretty much perfect for them here.

Well clearly they can appear on natural wood because the species pre-dates man-made woodchips. They were supposedly introduced from a poorly disposed-of sample at Kew Gardens.

I guess I'll bus it up to the Forest itself. Then I can have a little butcher's hook upon arrival.

I can't think of any fields round here where Lib Caps would grow... We have a local golf course, but would they really grow there?
Yep. Look in the rough. Long grass is trampled less and retains moisture better.

No way! Hunting Libs is best on the most dismal, low cloud days there are. Nothing more relaxing than being alone in a field in the middle of nowhere. A few pre-rolled joints and Kaya on the headphones= total bliss. So nice to get something beautiful from a horrible day! I am a miserable son of a gun though... 
Word. Less Nosey Parkers.
