I would guess they can be, but there more common in landscaped areas that are mulched with woood chips.
I have had no experience with shrooms in ireland, but its the right zone climate for them so i would guess their there somewere.
Good luck and happy hunting.

Its not really proved yet weather or not they actually need
trees or shrubs, just the wood chips. Most broadleaved trees
are best i.m.e. chipped in a tree surgons chipper.
But there normally found in beds which are sheltered by shrubs
such as Roses, Azalea's & Rhododendron beds.
Try large parks with boarders, but still keep your eyes open in the woods :-) as i have found them in forset setting also, this is just rarer.

around what time specifically did you find them in england?
and also do you reckon there is much chance of me making an error
in identifying them ,ive seen a good few pics on mushyjohns
site (were there other similar looking but different shrooms when you picked them)
one more thing are they similar in size to those mentioned (ps cyan)
because a lot of liberty caps i pick in ireland are a bit smaller
than the sizes given for liberty caps in US on some sites on net
thanks paid or anyone else if they answer

they fruit in southern england mainly during mid Oct to mid Nov but flushes can occur outside this time
I've seen them fruiting on exposed beds not associated with any living trees/shrubs
Size of mature specimens seems quite uniform.

Well, autum is the main time to go searching.
Starting about nowish i suppose, but its far to dry were i am :-(
Size is bigger than liberty caps, caps around 50pence size and a little bigger normally, i belive, and once you find some id shouldnt be too much of a problem if you use this site as an aid :-) though the key factor to look for is the blue bruising and a purple sp  re print.
Good luck in you hunt, but dont forget to still
go get some liberty caps, as Ps. cyans are a little rarer
and harder to actaully find

Hello thegoone,
Membername 'mjshroomer' has posted Shroom-maps (just dots on a map) for the countries of both Ireland and also in Germany. We normally do not allow anyone to discuss or post exact locations in this forum. But the maps he posted are an especially cool study, and the locations are only gerenalized (just dots on a map of each country), but still, a very helpful tool for Shroomers whom live there. Use the search function~! Also visit mj's website www.mushroomjohn.com.
Keep shroomin,
GGreatOne234

Ps. are rarer and harder to find, but their range is spreading year after year. And when you find them, you often find 1000s at a time. Then you can lift some mulch home and start your own colony

excellent so if you find them you pick them all and then take te shit off the ground and bring it home with you
good thinking batman, i wouldnt have thought of that
recently in a place near where i live a huge big tree was cut down
about two months ago and they used one of them chipper yolks to break it down
do you reckon they might grow on this sort of thing
(when the weather gets a bit wetter probably)

They might well grow there, but I don't think it's highly likely.
I have most often seen them growing on woodchips that have had a chance to interact with an existing colony. For example, borough councils, tree surgeons, landscaping supply companies, and botanical gardens all tend to keep large stockpiles of woodchips ('mulch mountains') that are continually added to and taken from. I think these settings give the shrooms maximum chance to take hold and spread to new locations. I have seen a few regions where nearly every place that was mulched by the local council (roundabouts, paths, etc.) produced P. cyanescens, and similar examples abound within public gardens.
