hey man, the jogging trail looks like dentenburg, like in worb, bern canton, but i'm probably wrong. k well i live in bern, and i was wondering if you knew any good places to go mushroom picking around here, i went to dentenburg close to the gumligun area, and didnt find shit. also, if you need any help spreading these around i've got not problem doing that, i live real close to the aare by bern city, so i'm guessing i could even spread spores around there. also another question, could i make alder woodchip little growing area in my garden and just let these mushies grow? add a small new layer of woodchips every month, harvest half of the mushrooms, wash them and take the spore water and spread these even more, and could i even make patchs in the woods?

The patch is located near Zurich. If you want to find actives, look for Psilocybe semilanceata. It is the most common species in Switzerland and grows from the end of July to the end of October/November (depending on the weather) in pastures in the mountains. Use the Swiss Fungi Map to find Ps. semilanceata locations: http://www.wsl.ch/dienstleistungen/inventare/pilze_flechten/swissfungi/verbreitungsatlas/index_DE
It is possible to inoculate wood chips by spraying spores on the beds, but it takes time till the bed is colonized and the first mushrooms appear. A much faster procedure is to use this technique, working for all woodlover species: http://www.magic-mushrooms.net/growing-psilocybe-azurescens.pdf

Yes great pics indeed, have my heart set on a Panasonic Lumix DMC LX3 so great to see a similar(?) camera do the biz.
Sorry if I missed it but are these pics from the original man-made 'mother' patch or one of the new locations that have sprouted up?
And also have you, or do you expect a couple of flushes from this spot similar to what would be expected of say Psilocybe Cyanescens?

It's a new location, but of course it is possible that I have "contaminated" the place earlier. I guess my clothes are sometimes infested by spores. For example, after harvesting this patch, my hands were literally black from spores.
I didn't notice real flushes yet, it is rather an ongoing process of fructification, depending on the weather. I think they could fruit even during summer, if the weather is cool and wet.

New Ovoid clusters are popping up along the wood chip trail:
A really aggressive species, the mycelium even attacks logs and planks of coniferous wood (Picea abies):

I think the climate in the UK is nearly perfect for growing Ovoids. 
I found a newly laid out wood chip trail, very close to a pond. Tons of left over wood chips along the trail under the bushes and trees. I inoculated more than hundred spots and my back still hurts.

Weird malformed Ovoids:
