Doubt it bro, don't think he has any left anyway, not really the place for it either, stick to PM's.

Supplying class A was a crime last time i checked. Sorry. Amazes me how people can be so stupid, you're asking me on a public message board for Class A drugs. Give your head a wobble.

I don't know what to say. I have left plenty of libs which didn't look very appetizing, I'm pretty sure they have dropped spores. Also I have only picked a little this year so I don't feel like I have contributed to a destruction of liberty cap species in my area. And no, not my fault, been busy doing other things than picking - I don't need to have a massive stash of mush, there are other psychs I take and considering I trip no more than once a month, I have more than enough. I do shrooms max 3 times per year now.
The fungi will continue to grow no matter how much you pick - they drop spores readily and besides there will always be a huge mycelial network under the grass that you can't see. Once the conditions are all perfect again they will continue to fruit. If you don't believe me Alan Rockefeller just made a comment recently on this.
Cheers!

The presence (or absense) of necessary nutrients in the substrate seems to be the most instrumental factor. A regular mistake is to believe that a mass-producing field has been "overpicked" when it fails to deliver the next season. After oh-so-many seasons of hunting liberty caps I see somewhat of a pattern - that the individual fields fruit in "waves" with more or less 4-5 years between each peak.
Funny how exciting it is to observe these rather nondescript and sticky little beings - and the interest in them doesn't wane either - for my part at least. The anticipation of the coming season is always present, even as I found my last ones just a week ago.

Agree completely Anglerfish! I've had some fields produce nicely for a couple of years and then bam ... this year, not a single one in those spots. Mind you I am not able to make it out every day and of course there are so many factors as to when they will fruit given the right conditions ie not getting enough precipitation until the end of the season.
This year though I also found the most in two spots where I have searched every year and not a single one found before. I think the best mushroom hunters are true observers and don't give up that easily. I often find myself talking to myself about all these different variables, almost like I am producing a documentary.
Anyway I am just sad I didn't get out yesterday morning before the cold and sleet and hail hit. Today was a decent day weather wise and after so much rain it could have been good - work and family are more important though. I think the season is pretty much done for us here in Estonia, but you never know - unless the big freeze hits 
I still enjoyed the small amount of time I got to go out hunting and look forward to next season.
Cheers

I'm just wondering but how much did everyone find this season? I ended up only finding 4 caps this year (I know sad) but I ended up throwing them away because there's no point trying to trip on 4 tiny mushrooms that's like even lower than micro dosing I bet. PS I'm not a cop

I've not had to bad of a season, considering I've hardly been hunting this year.
Bagged around 500 Libs in total, but lost about 150 of them to mould because I didn't dry them properly before storing The rest are now dry and stored for when I want them.
I also found around 250 chunky Panaeolus cinctulus and of course I had my cyan patch fruit for the first time this season. That bagged me around 100 fruits from that. 
So all in all, not bad I guess.

Hiya folks, is the first frost the end of the season then? Hard to find a definite answer, some suggest that they flourish after the first one?
Gutted if so, got 20 dried caps left and nothing to do with them.

No, one frost in general won't end the season. Its usually a prolonged spell of freezing weather that does that.

It's just a bad trip, it happened to me a lot last year. The 'what if' thoughts become; 'nope, this is definitely happening'.
Then you're just stuck in a loop of 'what if' till you can pull yourself together, it's not uncommon for me to feel pain when anxious and since a bad trip is just that, extreme anxiety; then naturally any pain you may get or whatever; cramps, etc. make it seem like it's the end of the world.
It's not nice but them difficult trips i can guarantee are the ones you're going to be gaining the most from.
The bad trips are the more deep ones where we actually learn something, the good trips are bordering on the line of just recreation, hope people understand what i mean and i've worded it right here. Tired.
agree completely and trust ive minimized usage... spesh after that although this time after drinking that yesterday feeling the effect after 5mineuts on an empty stomach - I knew id fucked up and mis judged .. it was a lesson - my job was to cry so fucking hard until the earth gave way for mercy then I became normal wel things were still shifting mechanically making elfs faces perfect faces were pixel perfect I knew id had to much im sayin this felt more than 200 - was out of that loop of helpleness tho to say the least -told me off in a way .. I knew ambulance wasnt an option due to my stash so I called a m8 he came asap tookem plus didn't wana waste there time
- turns out my muscleS were not expanding but rather my vision became ULTRA MAGNIFIED although some how became lean like if in fight mode - the usual signs coming up is there is a code that shifts through the geometry of everything... the floor mathematically arranges it self in a type of hindu elf lanaguge - things are all lirally alive but it does it in a mechanical fashion..
shifting I had a vision that I was becoming a transcendental sea creature and it scared the shit out of me I then realised that maybe now I can manipulate matter in this state - felt like my dna was being transformed by the psilocybin, the sounds I was hearing could make me a record instantly!
i have the sound layout mapped out in my head - which is the point , im using this for art and music in return depression once a month is fine with me .. what scares me is the realness of the situation.. it litrally extends real possabilty .. entheogen is it class which means generating the divine within and its very real to the point I cant believe it going un noticed .. not even a joke ..
I recon what it does is it reveals matter in true form - shit is normally intershifting all the time but in are normal state we see matter condensed..psilocybin releases the vavle extending truth and possibilty.. u could sit there and draw exacly what is being seen - trouble is senses can get overwhelmed so find a sweet spot and stick with it - the body load is far to much if your gunna dose beyond 200 have a sitter on the same level and meditate thru it - I bet you could bring back some golden knowledge by doing that - ud have the reassurance that ur trip pal is experiencing what you are , then just go with it ...
bubbles - yeh mate last year it took around 7 consecutive frosts as I said before I remember snapping them rather than nipping , it was around mid December I had last pick last year and it was freezing .

For sure mate I've picked them when they've been frozen solid aswell.
Just going back a few pages and saw you had a negative experience during your last trip. It's a bummer when it happens man I've been there myself. Fortunately not that often tho and touch wood it stays that way.
My bro had a similar experience to yours with the gag reflex thing one night. Sent him straight into a bad trip. Anyway don't let it get you down to much brotha. It's some thing we all experience at some point.

I actually feel amazing although lesson learnt - don't eyeball a dose - gues it was karmic for getting cocky .. i kno psilocybin is an entity of nature disguised as a chemical .. it tries to do whats right at the same time your magnetically chatting to some type of octopoid sting ray?! that's why sweet spot important.. find the spot that suits u where sht doesnt gets out of hand - I belive this where shamanism comes into the equation -they trained for high doses and can deal with it .. - theres a thought
they were crushed and powdered aswel water thick full.. didn't come to that why I had to part do with the rest... what sent me off was the sheer force and power that came with in minuets for a moment I was in a space that dmt brings... trhe visions become bright more stronger accompanied with sounds and mechanical chattering... I panicked as it came on to quikly and though I had seriously over dosed... wasn't ready for that level atall... if I would of remained calm I would of properly had the best experience to date.. glad in away as now I know what that level islike and can now tread in it with respect instead of jumpin the gun
I feel there a lot to be gained there.. just that you literally have to have absolutely no distractions - if that be the case I believe knowledge and truth can be gained there with the setting set well
if that sound scheesy wel atleast it can inspire us

I'm guessing that you don't like the taste of Libs? If you did, you would never throw even one away

I've been picking them since August this year and they're still going.
We have had several frosts and we also had snow and they still seem to be out. Finding hundreds at a time like I a month or two ago isn't happening, seems to be 30-40
the annoying thing is with the constant rain and cloud they're a nightmare to spot. when they're golden and out in their hundreds you can look for them easily. when they're brown and wet you've got to bend down and look at every square inch of grass, it's a nightmare
I was wondering the other day how many billions of pounds worth of Liberty Caps grow in this country every year. I can get several thousand from one field and imagine how many millions of fields there are...it's nuts when you consider it.

If any thing the couple of nights of frosts we have had will probably encourage fruiting, seeing as the temperature is about to rise again.

Loool fuck, sorry I didn't mean that just wanted a reply to my question really, was high as fuck when i wrote that ignore it. Thanks anyway but obviously i missed the season pretty much, gonna look into cultivating some non-psychedelic mushrooms for salads and stuffs so I can explore my consciousness in other ways if you feel

that's right bubbles - why im going to take advantage of the rise in temps , wil wait for the rain to clear and give a fav location one last pick,, I like to put them stem first between lips - as gay as that sounds, I get the feeling they like using me as a human spore spreader ...
good luck to all last final hunts I feel upto 2 weeks , though again that could change so im gunna split it down the middle and go final hunt Saturday ... got 40 gs left - sold an amount though had wel over 250 grams since mid September... ive really enjoyed this season 
cheers all

Yeah man, i need to get out for another hunt my self. I know my spots were still fruiting a few weeks ago. So i don't see why there not now 
I've got a shit ton of shrooms dry stored tho. Last season and the season before 2013 & 2014 i had epic yields and I've still got tubs full from those past two years, as well as what i have picked this season, so I'm pretty comfortable right now in terms of not running out
