I'm planning on going psychedelic shroom picking soon, i'm a first timer. Advice on places to go?

Okay, so from what i've heard, the time to go shroom picking is apparently at hand, but i can't be sure. Before any of you worry, I will most certainly be identifying everything before it's picked / eaten and i will keep a log of any and all i pick. I live in Limerick, Ireland which normally has a wet / windy environment and there is no shortage of varying landscapes, from farms to fields to forests and cities / towns in all directions.
So can i get some pointers for how the best way to go collecting is? Starting with whether or not it is the season for it. If the harvest goes well i will probably start trying to grow my own.
This is my first post, and first time on this site. Any help would be appreciated and i will do my best to return the favour of knowledge to other posts.

Why not start growing on your own already despite what you do or do not find in the wild

Ignore him and you might get lucky the weather there is just high of the right tempatures 15-20c day 5-10 night so i hear but honestly check the higher altitudes its colder up there. Good luck buddy.

I don't want to start growing yet, it sounds like more effort / time than i'm able to put in at the moment. And to be honest, i like the adventuring aspect of going picking. Thank you guys for the advice though!

I feel you bro! Sometimes Nature beats whatever we can grow though and I think that's what he's looking for.

Plus if you're in Ireland you'll probably be picking Libs which are 2-3x stronger dryweight than what you would likely cultivate yourself (libs are very very hard to cult).

Grow your own and do some hunting, best of both worlds.

I must imply that he didn't ask anything about where to hunt just when, I broke a rule mentioning weather but not weather where he is just general temperature needed for libs loaaaaaads of rain here loooooooads! i wanna go check my local golf course tomorrow it still seems a bit warm out but something i have learnt is expect the unexpected

Hey everyone, thanks for all your advice and links to other parts of the site, im starting to getthe hang of it!!
Anyways, i havent gone picking yet due to some events ive had to go to. Besides that, the weather has been getting warmer (surprisingly) and drier so i havent really had a chance to go. I gotta ask now though, is there a decent, space efficient method for carrying potentially different breeds of mushrooms around before identification?

Take a few bags, different looking shrooms in different bags (obviously each bag would be a type you come across often). Sort through them when you get home?
