interesting, I didn't know libs grew fondly in mountain areas. I always check sheep fields and I hate doing it (paranoid sheep giving me weird vibes), I'd prefer a more public area (I hope you're not talking about a sheep field in a mountain area). I'll check the hills out next weekend .

holy shit man same fucking area!
There are very few on this website from this country (you're the second guy I've met, the first guy was banned a while ago), there are quite a few from the Republic however. Maybe I'll bring a big Shroomery flag to the next 4/20 and try to get this website some publicity 
I'm from N. Ireland but currently on the Isle of Man.
You might be interested in my old thread - http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/11374820
I found them again in a completely different area last year but I think I was a bit too late in the season as they were kinda rotting away.
Happy hunting. 
Cool find if I recall rightly I know a forested area with lots of tree cuttings and wood chips lying everywhere (ironically enough in the same town the mountains I talked about going to in my previous post are found). I'll check out the area along with the mountains next weekend (I could see myself going home with a bin bag full of shrooms ).
Why is all the members from Northern Ireland only appear when I say there are very few on here from Northern Ireland?

Saw the farmer in a gold mine of a field a couple of days back spraying this stuff with hoses all over the field. Any ideas what it could be and if it would be bad to eat shrooms growing from there? (The guy was bringing in sheep at the time so surely it can't be that harmful?)

I've never found Psilocybe cyanescens in a natural setting. Both my finds have been in manmade beds of woodchips. Worth a look anyway I guess, who knows what you'll find.
I'm hoping to find liberty caps on the Isle of Man while I am here but no luck as of yet.

Possibly nitrates for the soil, and you might prefer not to. Up to you.

What would be the harm in eating them?

This might be a slightly noob-ish question but where would I find man made beds of wood chips?

 interesting, I didn't know libs grew fondly in mountain areas. I always check sheep fields and I hate doing it (paranoid sheep giving me weird vibes), I'd prefer a more public area (I hope you're not talking about a sheep field in a mountain area). I'll check the hills out next weekend .
Funny, that, the past few years I've found that all my yields are coming from the mountains, long(ish) grass hills though, not heather covered slopes. Last year I was focusing on sheep fields and found 0 in them! Then moved my search to the mountains and was overcome by them!

What MarkJ1992 says - flowerbeds. They aren't that common so I wouldn't waste a lot of time looking for them, but if you do see a flowerbed full of woodchips, take a look for cyans.
Bark chips seem to be more common than woodchips and those don't seem to work for cyans.

Oh yes flower beds (why couldn't I think of that, mind went blank I guess ) I'll probably pass some tomorrow and I'll remember to check them out. Thanks  Quote:

I've got a sheep field behind my house and I've not once found libs in it. They'll appear in other fields but not the one behind me weird it happens.

I went out today and found 1 lib, just the one! There wasn't much other fungi life at all either, definitely need to give it a week or two.

All elevations are fine. It just means that the season might start later for the lower land people.

My farmer can be seen zooming around spraying from the back of his quad- it's against nettles and thistles, the bane of sheep-pasture. Seems a bit late for it, mind. They normally do it mid-spring. What it might do to mushrooms, I don't know.
