You should be looking in fields with grass about ankle high, with bigger tufts of grass all over, A field that has animals grazing, or had withing the last 5 years or so..........
Now thats where I would look right now, I have no EXP. hunting Liberty caps but your in lib country and this is the time is it not, starting to get colder, From what I understand they will fruit until it frost once or twice....So get out and VERY IMPORTANT...this has helped me spot many shrooms.....You must walk EXTREMELY SLOW THROUGH THE GRASS, and every ten steps, get down and take a peep around , get real low, Look in all the TUFTS of grass, where there is a clump of higher grass, or around older shit patties....From my Exp here in the states hunting cubensis. Those TUFTS or CLumps of grass that shoot up real high when all the rest of the grass is low from grazing animals, is usually do to a pile of shit, being there and the animals dont like to eat there own shit so they graze around it, allowing the shit to fertilize the grass and then you get that burst in growth, which is also why its supreme spots to check for your Liberty caps, and in the southern united states, we check those clumps of grass for pan cyans and cubensis........Also Your gonna want to check and see what kind of wood lovers grow in your area...IF Psilocybe Cyanescens does, then go to all local parks with wood chips around, check the wood chip beds, and dont stop until you have checked every park possible.....Dont waste your time looking for Cyanescens in the wild, I did and never was sucessful but as soon as someone turned me onto a park, LOW AND BEHOLD in mid january freezing weather, there were tiny 2 incher psilocybe cyanescens all over, some solid blackish blue from the cold, That patch was one of the very few left in all of washington that year,,,,,IT WAS so cold, I had no hopes of finding anything, So get out there before it starts to freeze, 40's at night and 50 to low 60's with the rain is premo for the liberty caps and the cyanescens in the wood chips.....ALso, All along the sides of the roads, Look for landscaped areas that have wood chips, I have seen many pics of cyanescens growing on the side of roads up in PNW united states where the city landscapes and lays wood chips.............And other than that, Check School yards on the weekend, they use allot of wood chips....you wont find them by the play structures but again any where that is landscaped,,,,under bush's, around trees, areas with coverage.....GOOD LUCK>>>>keep us all posted....You should have a few species besides libs that you can hunt.....The cyans will probably last much longer after a rain than the liberty caps,,,The liberty caps will be the hardest hunt I believe...Your gonna have to get them the day they FRUIT, or the day after,,,,,,They look so fragile I cannot imagine them lasting very long after they fruit, not to mention how hard they will be to spot in the grass, so remember, Mushroom hunting is never a walk,,,,,,ITs a two steps stop. scan the area....another two steps repeat....I even get down to grass level...ITs amazing how many shrooms appear once you bend down and just look around for TEN minutes....

I FOUND THESE TIPS FOR YOU ON AREAS TO LOOK>>>>>>
near Glasgow (on the road to Aberfoyle) should get out to 'The Wangie'. There should be loads of them there at the moment.
It used to be my harvesting area when I lived in Glasgow.
Old Kilpatrick to Helensburgh man ffs.. And carry on all the way round to Cove. Either that or jump in your motor cross the Erskine Bridge and hit the Glennifer Braes in Paisley
Greenock and Port Glasgow
All the hills each side all the way up and down the Clyde Valley. I have two cracking wee spots up the kilpatrick hills . Glengoin distillery area is pretty good iv heard. Muirshiel country park at the kiam dam . Basically every fookin where. Iv no even picked any this year tho. I seen my first around the 20th aug . They should still be around for a wee bit after the first couple of frosts (contrary to popular belief) as long as they are not to prolonged or hard. Iv picked libs in October b4 . But aye get your skates on. Effort equals reward. Its a symbiosis ,the shrooms get your effort and you get their reward . just get out there. i love semilenceta mushrooms ramble ramble ramble
ALL THAT INFO I FOUND ON A PUBLIC SITE THAT IS NOT MUSHROOM RELATED BUT IT WAS A TOPIC FROM A YEAR OR TWO AGO< NOW THAT IS NOT EXACT LOCATIONS SO THAT SHOULD BE WITHIN THE RULES TO POST>>>EITHER WAY HURRY UP CHECK THEM WRITE EM DOWN!!!! or do your own search...google. SCOTLAND PSILOCYBE MAGIC MUSHROOMS......see what you find,,,,allot of peeps share relative areas and fields it seems where you live,,,,,,quite different than here in the unitedstates....here if sumone finds a patch you be hard up to get even an area code out of them!!! LOL......But I have had a few really cool peeps give me tips......SO there still legit yankees abroad, i must say ladie........lol........now thats about as much as a stranger could help........Now if you could only tell me exactly were a nice weilii patch is right now....lol...

Thanks everyone for your support!  Just one other thing. I'm a bit paranoid when it comes to entering other people's fields/property. Nature reserves are public places but someone's livestock is their livelihood and will want to keep people out! Would you recommend going at dawn and dusk? Or am I being paranoid??

You're not really being paranoid. It is private land after all. The worst that is likely to happen either way though is that you're asked to leave. It's better if you can find farm land with public footpaths that go through them.

The best reason for going at dawn is they won't be buggy or browsed. If you stick to what looks like open access land, which is to say green fields that don't require scaling walls and don't have signs forbidding entry, you should be fine. Technically even if trespassing - a private and distinct offense - taking mushrooms (or any of the 4 fs: fruit, fungi, flowers and foliage) that are untended is allowed. Obviously Psilocybe is a different thing but just so you know, foraging is no crime.

Just to clarify, the semilanceata look like small liberty caps and the cyanescens are larger and rounded with thicker stems, is this correct?

Psilocybe semilanceata = liberty cap; grows in pastures Psilocybe cyanescens is a wood-loving mushroom of which plenty pictures are available online. You'll never find both of them growing in the same habitat. Your best bet is ps. semilanceata; generally much easier to find in Europe/UK than ps. cyanescens.

It's 11 degrees here, and apparently is due to snow on Saturday. Is 11 degrees an okay temperature? Or is that too cold

In a field with sheep in. I have more, I will upload more photos soon. They're really sticky and have a scent.... I think they may be the ones I'm after, can someone verify this?
