Night picking
    #22336531 - 10/05/15 11:30 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Right, so I've recently become interested in hunting mushrooms at night, due to the amount of sheep fields that surround a farmers house.. I know for a fact there is mushrooms in the area and his fields seem like the perfect environment, however I'm too much of a pussy to blatantly walk into the field by day (in full vision of house)
I was wondering if anybody has any tips for picking mushrooms by night, I was told at a festival that using a blacklight will illuminate the mushrooms as psilocybin glows in the dark (this could be utter bullshit told to me by a random hippy)

So does anybody who does go picking at night give me any tips? The fields in question are so easily accessible by me and I think under the cover of darkness I have virtually 0% chance of being seen

Or would I be better off going straight up to the farmer and asking him if I could pick mushrooms in his empty fields..?

I would ask the farmer nicely and he will either say sure you can or get off mi property. Most are laid back and like some company of any sort and some do not want to be bothered. Be nice and ask. You can say you are student or a photographer.. some thing like that. A good believable cover story.
As for just going for it I would wait for a dense foggy morning where visibility is a few feet. No one will see you you the field. Here in Oregon we get mornings like that but you have to time it real early just as the sun is rising.
I've never tried at night.
Happy hunting

Yano what, you're probably right. I know the farmer personally and he's a nice fella, I just feel quite paranoid asking if I can go pick mushrooms in his field, although realistically he's an old school Irish farmer & probably picked many (non psychedelic) mushrooms himself over the years

Better to be brazen i suppose :smile:

Still am interested in picking at night though, as I feel it would make it slightly less awkward.. Maybe I should just learn what edible mushrooms grow in the area, and pick them aswell use it as a cover.. >_>

What if you get a headlamp that is a very low light or spectrum so when your out at night you not sticking out?
I'm just thinking of good ideas...
I'd say go by moonlight but then you will most probably will be spotted.
I hope others who have done night hunts will chime in.

As for asking.. People stop at my step dads farm all the time to take photos of the trucks that are part of the landscape now or the delapitated barn /shed.. they stop in and ask first.. This past summer there was a film crew shooting their scene there. They were driving around and liked the lay of his land; they asked if they could film there.. my parents even got compensated for the use of their land.

Thanks SkagitHunter

Good Luck CorcaighDnB

I've been getting into hunting lately and only going at night. No success but the guy that's been talking to me about hunting says you can see them pretty easily at night w/o the use of a light. Everyone I've heard from seems to say that the caps will stick out at night
