No worries, thought they were something else because they were just tonnes darker than the libs i've found already. I do see some darker looking ones posted in this thread though so thats what swayed me to pick them up. Anything more specific apart from the nipple I can look out for? Because these seemed to blue at the end which I heard was a good indicator of libs. Cheers though dude!

I actually made it up to 40 the other afternoon Sobercobler. But i was in a good mood and had taken mirtazapine the night before. Had a tangerine too and some chamaile tea. Cycling was difficult.
15 is good too.
I'm going camping in the cairngorms. Next weekend. Need to get a stash to take up the road

Success in the Black mountains. Got about a hundred or so, will try to up pics in a bit. Couple of lads already there probably had a thousand or so between them.
Could have stayed and got more, but didn't want to be too greedy, as I'll probably only do a couple of journeys with the gf who's never touched entheogens before.
Interesting to read on doses. I always count and consider 20-25 a minimum hit for some nice visuals, insight and laughter. Figured I'd start the gf on 10-15 and let her build up, as she gets panic attacks and I want to guide her through safely. Thoughts?

Always start the girlfriend low. Got 2.5g cubes frozen for when my Mrs is ready . If you're gf is starting with Libs, go real low, probably about 1.5g.
Can't reconcile the rest of you who say to eat 10, 20, 30 etc: 10,20,or 30 of what size exactly?
Scales are a must if you want to ensure your safety.

Hi, all
Just found this place after deciding I want to experience mushrooms so I am going on a quest to find some in my local area, but after scouring the comments on here I don't think I will have much joy living in the city of Liverpool.
So a couple of questions if anyone would take the time to answer....
Is parkland any good - specifically Stanley Park if anyone has heard of it.
And, can you train a dog to sniff'em out?
I would appreciate your input in leading me in the right direction,
Peace & love,
Mr E. Bucket.
-------------------- Just curious after all these years.

I dont think you could train your dog to snigg out liberty caps, have heard of dogs bieng trained to find a species of truffle... even if you coudld that may be somewhat time consuming Your not in that bad of a place, if you can get over to the peak district you'll be singing and dancing! Happy hunting

I figured low dose - been doing psychedelics since 88 and had my fair share of bad trips. I always figured that since concentration of psilocybin isn't a constant, weight wasn't going to be any guide either, (some weigh dried, some weigh wet) so counting out was as good a method as any. Obviously low doses mean smaller shrooms, and larger ones for more intense trips.
I gave up scales when I gave up smoking, and keep my use of everything to occasional and making sure set and setting is as good as it can be. Nearly thirty years of experience have taught me to be cautious, not like when I first got into mushies and gave away handfuls and ate them myself throughout a day.
Thanks for advice though

10 is a good start to see if you're comfortable with it, mind you dried is different obviously. There's a calculator on shroomery somewhere. Gf with panic attacks, I can relate to that, and mine doesn't suffer with them anymore thanks to lady lib cap. The key is to be there and be totally supportive, even if it gets really emotional. People forget about the therapy side of it, and do it for kicks only and get into bother. Be there for her, and give some good music as well, pref with headphones.

While setting these out, only were definitely wrong species, picked by gf I think, and 1 I'm dubious about so will dispose of anyway. Some good specimens amongst this lot and probably 3-4 low doses for level 3 excursions.

it's just the overall look of the mushroom really and yeah dogs can be trained to sniff out anything
-------------------- I give you the choice of 2 pills.
With each containing one of the following: Cyanide... Psilocin... Would you take the risk? Didn't think so. This is why Positive Identification prior to consumption is important.

I can also say that some spots I know aren't very high above sea level. This spot is one of the most prolific places for them I know. Got 300 from there today in literally 15 minutes. It's really great! Kinda cheating tho!

Hope everyone else gets to find a place like this

Most of the big finds seem to be in the hills in Scotland. I haven't found any in East Anglia yet but was told to wait till Ocotber so guess I'll have to give up for now. I'm actually feeling kinda desperate for a shroom trip. Been so suicidal since I quit Opiates. The temptation to use gear haunts me every damn day. Feel like I need a good slap in the face from a shroom.
-------------------- My Psychedelic experiences: LSD - 30+ times (2 hits min / max 3 hits) every time. Shrooms - 4 times (2.5 - 3.5g) DMT - 5 times (Powerful breakthrough only once) Life can be one hell of a bitter pill to swallow so I chose acid instead -YeOlde

Dont give in. Let your brain go back to normal! Opiates will alter your brain alot, especially if you use them to treat depression. But with the right thought and relaxation you can do it, sleep is important aswell.

'88 exact same year I started. But only did two seasons then nearly a 30 yr gap til this year!
I hear what you're saying, wise words friend. I'm two months off SSRIs now bro but I still think they're in my brain: 7.9g dry cubes last week and still no ego loss. Very nice five hours though with headphones and my sphongle collection

Another haul today in the hills surrounding Rochdale, very modest once again though, just waiting for the weather to get a bit better/worse.

Anyone have any idea what the 4 in the bottom right could be? Im not sure if they're libs or not, 99% that the rest are though
