Hey, were you returning to a previously successful location, or just trying your luck with a new area? Finding fresh amanitas proves, that there is enough moisture in the ground for the lib caps to grow. Think about it. Amanitas grow under the trees which means that they need even more rain than libs. Water needs to pass through a layer of leaves and other dry plant mass before reaching the mycelium.
Trying luck with a new area as I've never been to the peak district. The area we found those in the pics was an area with ruins around, it was pretty wet under the trees were we found them, and found so many types of mushrooms but no Libs in that area.
It was a pretty sunny and clear day, and we went out in the early afternoon, the grass in the fields had no moisture and soil was barely damp.

These 3 look (to me) like little liberty caps with the nipple and wobbly stems. The caps got slightly squashed in the bag so they look a bit wider than they actually are.


I know these aren't anything I'm meant to be looking for but I was curious, anyone know what these are as there was hundreds!

And finally, this was the spot I was picking so even if I didn't get anything worthwhile, the view made up for it

No libs.

You went to a wrong place. My spots in Peak District are always damp as fuck. There are streams of water popping out of the ground on the slopes of these hills. Did you go along public footpaths?

Any other opinions on these?
Yeah they're all libs
All libs, very nice! I like the ones with long stems! Good idea to get as much stems as possible, more psilo for you! But try not to rip them out of the ground like this though.

Hey guys, went out hunting the other day and found two definite libs, I'm pretty confident that a lot of these aren't since I got back and did more research. All of them have a definite rise or point, but would that classify as a nipple? I'm wondering how much variation there is between liberty caps and whether some of these look less obvious because of their age?
I doubt whether most of these are libs due to the dome-shape - most seem bell-shaped, but it feels as if a few could be. Some feedback would be great as I can't seem to find much online.

Yo the two on the right next to eggs are not. There are two libs on the left, the ones with slender caps. Smell them and remember this smell!
The creamy dome-shaped slimey caps are not libs. Notice that when libs are brown - they are slimy. When they dry in sun/wind they turn creamy but they are dry when touched. These creamy lookalikes have no nipple, have different gills, and are slimey as fuck!
Always smell the shrooms.

This is my second liberty cap hunt, i think i have identified them correctly but im a far way off from trusting my judgment atm, would anyone mind confirming if these are libs?
caps = are slightly curled over, tacky to touch. gills = dark colour (except 3rd one maybe) stem = light colour and bendy, i could bend them around my finger, most snapped after too much bending bruising = they appear to bruise at the stem, but im not sure
I did a spore print of a few but only the 3rd one from the left came out, looks dark purplish to me.

Thanks again!

there were public footpaths, and each field we did venture into, we did get in pretty close to the grass to try make sure we didn't miss any but didn't have any luck.
I will go back out hunting at the start of october when the forecast is showing plenty of rain

Hi mate, thanks so much for the quick reply.
That picture with the eggs in is from a few days ago - I discarded the two on the right after the picture was taken, and I the other two were libs!
Cheers for the info, I'll try again tomorrow haha

Yo last year when I went to the peaks at some point in September, I found plenty of them on the north facing slopes, behind a tall hill. On the same day a south facing slope which produced stupid amounts in October the year before (thousands upon thousands, more shrooms than grass) didn't have any libs at all.
Try north facing slopes, at the base of the hills.
And try not to mention specific names of places like you just did,

I wonder if they are psycoactive to sheep. It would be hard for them to avoid eating them in such a situation lol

So how do you guys go about scouting for new fields and locations apart from just driving around randomly? Obviously just going to the peak district or wales is a no brainer. I've done that and had some finds.
However, I'm trying to figure out how to go about finding other locations more locally. I've been pouring over google maps but it's not always that easy. A lot of land that looks green is really just covered in bracken. Also, it doesn't show which is has public footpaths for easy access, or meets the correct habitat requirements.
OS walking maps, or something else?

Enter your location into this website, and it will show you where there are public footpaths/rights of way:
http://www.rowmaps.com/
As for what you are looking on the maps being potentially unsuitable when you get there, that is something you have to be willing to accept in order to find what you want i think. That's what makes the activity so rewarding. It takes a lot of time and patience.
