Still think it will be a couple of weeks round here (West Midlands)as the top soil is still rock hard, from past seasons seems to be a week or so after your heels sink into the soft earth enabling the beauties to push on through. But hey ho I will still mooch around sorry doggy!
I'm near you and know just how you feel! Still a fair bit of dead, dried up grass in prime hunting spots, which sucks. But yeah, this area does yield well when the seasons's properly steaming

Let it pour - lots of rain is forecast country wide over the next few days. We're nearly there - other mushrooms are starting to pop up now, and libs should follow.

I was out today roaming cow fields and pastures and can across several mushrooms and fungi. I have a few and would like to say they were all in the cow fields within long grass with caps poking out. * Habitat - pasture cow field, rather hilly, south easy Uk coast. Loads of different cow shit some fresher than others. * Characteristics of the gills (some are rather white but they seem yellowish and some others are quite dark brownish Majority attached. * Characteristics of the stem (stems vary from couple inches to 5 inches 1cm ish dark towards bottom yellowy white throughout rest, streaks going through stems, solid thin) * Characteristics of the cap (vary from half inch caps to the larger inch half one, off white bruised dark brownish, smooth on fresh ones and rough on dryer dark capped. some have nipples but without a dot ontop and not that noticable. * Spore print color in progress halfway will repost * Color that the mushroom bruises = dark brown on some and others don't bruise * Scent of the mushroom very earthy fresh mushroom smelling, can't tell of husky or not.

Not much of any mushrooms at all around me. I wonder with the good summer we've had what kind of winter it'll bring?

You're so far off the mark if you're thinking those are libs. Look at more lib pictures and read more lib information.
Not even sure if they're all the same species but looks like Marasmius oreades.

After hearing of my friends finding upwards of 300 at the weekend, I decided to go a little trek myself yesterday. Found a couple hundred in 2 hours before the farmer started to round his sheep up. There was massive clusters I could see from distances of 10m away. T'is the season to be jolly =]
Yeah, these mushies are looking yummy! Which part of the country was it in?

Hey guys Ive been lurking these forums a few years now. I have decided its about time i get out and find some shrooms this year ( found a few i was 99% sure with over the years but Ive never had the balls to actually eat them lol)
I live in glasgow and Ive been searching all my local cow feilds and other areas that look good the past few weeks with no luck, the only problem is i was in a car crash and broke my leg so im in crutches at the moment.
Anyway does anyone know of any good spots in the west of glasgow that wont be too much effort for me to get about and find some shrooms?
Thanks for any help guys!

unfortunately you are breaking rules by asking that, however, check any fields of grass for P. semilanceata (liberty caps) it will also be easy to walk around there. Hope you get better man...
