sand - yeh those slimy ones,i know what u mean,ones blazed had mentioned, u shouldn't have any trouble with separating coz well, they slimy as fuck cant get it wrong. not unless the sun kissed them
roro8 - red spectrum of time of year? I think your confusing it with growing ganja , fungi don't need any light nor rely on it, fungi is more animal than 'plant ,they don't need light coz they are the light pahaha,you may have some truth in there somewhere, but I was under the impression it to do with moisture, temperature and the amount of light in one day - as in temperature not photosynth, just because you had the rain and reasonable temps don't mean to say they will fruit the same as they did last year at your patch,why its good to have many spots,just incase the pattern is different in terms of starting,ending or not beginning at all.... had one spot closest to me that stopped fruiting, but I feel that coz others knew about it and got carelessly over picked tearing up mycel - actually when first starting out hunting 2yr back the first spot was the spot I'm talking about, I had noticed 2 people looking around - I thought jackpot! so be carful who sees you , as it probly gunna need a few years to perhaps recover and establish its broken links to recover , a fair few people I met on that sloped pasture that year... but.. who knows why... worst case scenario ^ give it a week or two and you'll be posting your pics of libs roro
more on the spectrum thing, as you may know the main responsive body is underneath doing what ever importance it does for the soil and network comms that interconnect things together as a responsive unit that do rely on the suns light or certain spectrums such as grass,plants! .. and as for lib pins they tend not have their nipples pull through yet at small size and sometimes even the bigger ones have no nipple is what ive come to learn so far, so don't let that throw you off just coz it don't have a nipple.. . .
just a heads up on the fungus gnats that inject them with the lavi - they have their roles of spreading spores so appreciate them,its nonsense that they eat the entire mushroom, they don't,they cant, its those slugs that u gotta watch out for :-)
- last year on a night hunt to a spot of mine ,cant in the day with that place, which a fucker , not unless the moon is out in full force , the mist and fog give me all the camo I need , anyways , look at that slug enjoying the lib feast , no need to kill em though just throw em out of the patch

Dude mushrooms grow better in different spectrum tests have been done its obv not the heat because libs are hard to cultivated probably due to !ask of spectrum.. Don't believe me I don't care but going of hunting they do start when the sun changes
-------------------- Hi i recently become interested in mycologist after a good trip on AMT which changed my life, I started Studying mushrooms ins and outs from where they originate from back to the aztecs an mayans. now the hunt begins I live in the UK in liverpool where im not sure if im going to find many if any at all BUT we do have a few fields with horses on and the rain has been bad with the warmth im expecting to see some really early... its june and I think they are going to show up Any guidance any help feel free to email me or ask me questions at davidj156@hotmail.com

They have likely evolved to use the light so take that away and it may work for a while and with certain types maybe indefinitely but they use the light to make sure the fruits survive to reproduce, i think when the days get shorter they go dormant so that the fruit bodies don't get frozen before they can release spores to continue the cycle, some mushrooms are more extreme cases that show these evolutionary traits, liberty caps appear to be a big one in this regard, also it's likely stages, insects are also less likely to eat a mushroom that looks dry on the outside so the fruit body can survive longer, these seem the most sensible ideas towards it but you'll never get a straight answer because it's speculation for now all i know is there is differences between the ones grown in the dark and the ones on normal cycles i just can't pinpoint it, i'll do experiments one day

I've cultivated cubes a few times eating 8 grams off them blue looking babies and it's been pretty shit compared to any wild mushrooms iv had so I think that may be one of the main differences but that could just be down to poor spores iv grown cubes 7 times and never once had a experience described by someone who went out and picked them

hey the mushie, dude calm the fuck down , no one is sayin nothing is believed, if u read I say , some truth in there no doubt.. but yeh whatever we are all from the SUN so we are all light so all fucking good in the fucking hood .... 
but now since you just jumped to the assumption, I will now scrutinize it
I will say the spectrum changes due to the shorter days as we orbit yearlly , that's why autumn they start creeping as no so much light no?,higher further north that shift happens much earlier like a month in front, days get shorter, the sun doesn't change anything , its the annual rotation of us with it if you wana get shirty and technical about it - fungi is an independent species more of animal than plant that does not require the light to grow... themushie - are you suggesting they photosynthesize ?
maybe you and roro8 since both from Liverpool and talk about spectrums being the key to growth, do some concise tests.. not unless your the same person ? lol , I thought the used the light within the mycelium to transfer information , the fruiting body is just the spore releaser , not sure it uses the light since there is no seed nor root , its independent and it will do what ever the fuck it wants to do, and travel when it needs to, I mean fuck it may even uses a both balance of light and dark, even the moons light and energy , who knows, so do tests, actual tests ... I know no body that's cultivated libs tho so... , if it aint heat aint moisture aint shorter days then I guess youl start saying plants don't need water next...
mushrooms are almost like flesh... skin, so .. there's no pigments in there that uses the light , and when its underneath,dorment!! , its dark always dark so how can it see the spectrum of the suns rays anyways!??? ever thought about that?
its a finely timed thing that is automatic on the basis of temperature and hours in a day , if you want to be stuck in this mindset then good luck finding them is all I can say to you both.
take for example the dung beetle, its real job is to shift the spores of the stopharia cubensis that's among the dung , roll it as it does , it then digs a deep hole in the ground, pulls the ball deep within (no light!) year later, new mycelium networks have begun! ironically these beetles navigate using the milky ways band of light in certain parts of the world
the argument is do mushrooms use light to start popping up... anyone ?

Tepee your not wrong but iv read they do need light after pinning suggesting that they intact do use light... different r spectrums of light from the sun north to south ... different species as u travel to different sun sets and rises.... the light must be a factor atleast

Hi everyone, first ever post here, I was wondering when the season starts in central Scotland? I've seen few mushrooms around but not had a close look, is it worth looking for libs? or wait until September, cheers!

I didn't end up going to the Pennines earlier this week like I said that I would. I'm guessing that with this heatwave that you guys haven't had much luck these past few days. It just seems way too hot for liberty caps to be growing.
On the topic of finding people out picking, I've literally never came across somebody else picking. Never. I did have an old dude come over to me once to give me some 'advice' about where to find the best windfall apples because he thought that was what I was looking for.

Just took a look at the forecast, it's supposed to start raining at 5:00am tonight and it doesn't stop until Saturday night, when it will probably only stop for a few hours before it starts again. Which means I am definitely going out on Sunday!

Highs of 19°c and lows of 14°c, reckon it's worth searching at 1000ft asl in the Midlands on known lib habitats? Also had a period of no rain for weeks before today, will this kill or affect mycelium?

I wouldn't check just yet If I were you. Best time to Search is after there's been a few days of heavy rain. Libs love moisture.

just popped to the shop and on my way there the first real hit of autumn air struck me just now.,i love the feeling of that transition, especially the winter to spring, I'm still going to leave it late September,may even mid October give the fields a chance to spread some spores about the place..
edit. lolam I the only one that just noticed the love heart symbol be default to everones comments lol ?

Because it's still too early, but at the same time it's so close, so we're all just too excited. Had 2 days of constant rain now, so tomorrow I'm feeling pretty optimistic about making the journey and going hunting.

Hello everyone, anybody had any joy in Somerset or the south west yet? We've had plenty of rain over the past couple days so it won't be long before I start going for long walks whenever I can.
