Juncus effusus tolerates quite a large moisture range generally. If you can see nothing but Juncus and couch grass I'd agree with you; probably too wet to even walk amongst them without sinking yet alone find anything.
But a few Juncus tussocks in a field composed of typical pasture or lawn species (perennial rye, annual meadow grass etc.) is usually a pretty good sign in my neck of the woods but this is by no means a given considering their track record for golf courses, football pitches, garden lawns etc.

I was highly depressed at the beginning of the year too, my doctor tried to get me on the anti depressants but i ended up turning them down.
What up Zak!? I'm happy to hear you turned them down! Perscriptions for SSRI's are often made on the assumption that your depression is serotonin related and can further mess up the brain soup. It also dulls the psychedelic experience in the case of most substances including shroomies!
But I was in those boots the sad squelchy everything is pointless boots, but the best advice I can give and I was spouting this all last year as well..
Omega3, high in EPA and DHA. The brain is mostly made of fat, DHA! Neural pathways are made from DHA! EPA increases serotonin naturally. Taken from fish sources is best!
Magnesium, hard to obtain through food alone because it is depleted in soil from the rape and pillage of the earth. A supplement will do brilliantly, preferably magnesium citrate. I really mean it, it's amazing. Magnesium is an electrolyte and is used in production of serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, GABA.
L-Tyrosine + vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) L-Tyrosine is an amino acid found in loads of food, available as a supplement and highly beneficial for eleviating depression as it converts into dopamine and norepinephrine with the help of pyridoxine. Does wonders for JamaicOvers after heavy canabis use to! Can also increase the high from canabis with regular use!
If it's anxiety related an amino acid in green tea can help. L-Theanine, brilliant stuff! Also available as a supplement!
Any amino acids used for depression should be taken on an empty stomach with pyridoxine!
I can't recommend these tips enough do any depressive tendencies, there is nothing worse than living with depression and these are completely natural and help do so so much!

Overboard?? haha shiiet man. I only ask because im trying to get a feel for how much is too much tripping myself. After the other nights experience im instantly eagure to start doing more but i dont want to take the piss with the holy medicine. I must of had 5 or 6 reaaal low doses this year, never took them before until recently.
And yeah found that 2g dose a real nice ego boost but in a non self righteous way, more of a self loving way.
Really beautiful turn around it sounds like you had man I was highly depressed at the beginning of the year too, my doctor tried to get me on the anti depressants but i ended up turning them down even though the doctor was trying to pursued me to take them -_- I knew from some of my mates experience that they dull down your being. I decided i would go down the change of diet and exercise route, with the intention to find some mushrooms to add to the mix. Fuck all this medication they try give us, they never ask you about what food your getting down you, or whether you do much exercise or if you get any sun.
I know what you mean about them needing to be regulated too, i dont suppose your family have ever taken them? id love for mine too. I think if the trip went well it would help my mums ways an awful lot.
And yeah, the government dont want healthy minds, no money to be made off that.
:P they tend to not take drugs (parents) few fam smoke weed tho, don't even drink my parents, don't mind me doing drugs though so it's all good i am nearly 25 tho 
Yep, good diet, nice long walks, shrooms, sativas in morning, indicas at night or just hybrids :P lovely jublyy.
Beats all medication that lifestyle.
Tried all sorts of medication, either addictive (valium), too much sedation (seroquel), nightmares (mirtazapine <- actually a psychedelic apparently @150-200 mg, sounds horrible though) or the terror - SSRI's.
BRAINZAPS if you miss a dose, fuck it all, shrooms n cannabis work best.
exercise(hikes) are brilliant too as are pushups, from 18 stone 4 to 14 stone 8 me just from shrooming :P
is there anything they don't help with? lool

Didn't see this, well it depends, HPPD isn't too bad (got it last year) i did trip too much though, basically however you wanna do it i suppose.
Tolerance is anywhere between 10-18 days (average of 14) to baseline, if you trip too much though you'll get HPPD like me prob, tracers n shit.
Not really much though tbh damn sight better than depression.
Anxiety/Depression is horrible as is depersonalization/derealisation which are both forks of anxiety, intrusive thoughts etc, had it all me, still get it a bit.
It's just tolerance man, might get away with a couple times a month like trippin, microdosing though when i do it i do it till i feel better (every 2 days .3ish gram of libs).
Only tripped once n i was a bit drunk this year but yeah the brews will be on soon and you'll see how much i usually trip (post my brew pics on here init tryin out different stuff lemon tek etc).

SSRI's treat symptoms. Most medication treats symptoms not the cause.
Food is where it's at for maintenance. But figuring out what neurotransmitter you have an imbalance with is essential.. And all neurotransmitters are made from amino acids and use magnesium to produce! So supplementing to replenish is essential and THEN focus on a balanced diet!
At the risk of sounding like a complete knob I want to say magnesium changed my life haha! It makes me more focused, more attentive to people, an karate chopped the shit out of my social anxiety!
Thanks Blazey! Can't wait for my first trek out, I have a job this year though.. Shit buzz! What's up Dr. Delban? Good to see your cyber face again! Any way back to mushrooms

You don't sound like a knob lol. For some people severely lacking in these nutrients, to then get a proper supply of them will be the difference between an improperly functioning brain and not. And you experience all life through your brain. Although most peoples (that have a more normal balance) experience of taking magnesium will not be like that.

... and theobromine
I take around 3 table spoons of this before dosing shrooms. This gives me more bliss and euphoria during the trip.

So people speak of MDMA-like effects from psilocybin, but does this have a depleting effect like MDMA does? Because that's pretty much the worst thing in the world. What is the hangover/recovery actually like? Is it more physical or more psychological in nature? And what about for those who don't get along too well with weed (or anything trippy), would you recommend that they avoid it?

Mushroom hangover? The most I recall is being tired and feeling a need to take a nap the next day. Other than this nothing negative really. It definitely doesn't make me feel apathic as MDMA or any amphetamines do.
The problem is that most (or to say the least: many) people who take shrooms smoke weed along with it. Any info on hangovers obtained from them would be irrelevant as they mix two substances. Obviously the next day they will feel different that someone who only took shrooms the night before.

Been out for a few walks to look for some potential spots and was asking for a second opinion on this particular place, it's a massive area full of sheep and cattle wich are still grazing there now, the only thing I have is that it's surrounded by conifers,there's alot of brake in patches too but you get alot of grassy patches with that reedy type grass so moisture seems great, have heard of locals finding some up there but I'm only 70% confident about this, what are your thoughts?

This place looks promising to me. Keep checking once a week until winter kicks in.

Thanks for the tips, I check here to see what are best conditions and habitat, most fields with cattle are farmers fields that I can see. Went to a place with horses, who all paid me a visit which was amazing, so days are still good. just wish I could join these who are finding them by the bucket. I was going to meet Blazeyy but he stopped private messaging for some reason, so Blazeyy get in touch?
Happy hunting everyone
