That could be true. But how far from the original place should we go? A few hunder meters, a few kilos, more? There aren't many more places to look for libs in my town except that one..

Yeah, another crappy season for me. No rains at all, maybe 100 semis in the spot this year, dry so dry for past five years. Plus side is that I was able to find P. medullosas in two new spots.

This season seems to suck so much :/ It has been raining quite a lot where I live, and temps are quite low.. Should go out for a hunt, I guess.. But won't have any luck probably, we'll see.

Seriously, no positive update from the Nordic countries?
I'm leaning towards thinking the chemtrails have killed them off (sarcasm)!

In Lithuania it's already somewhere from -1 to -3 celsius. If it gets warmer, and according to the news it should, is there still a chance for libs to grow?

That's hilarious knarkkorven ! So poetic... I want both of these pictures in poster format. Btw how do the cows behave around you when you go on their field? Are they ever aggressive?

I only encountered aggressive bulls once, stomping in the ground and really making me know I wasn't welcome. In most cases, they are only very interested in what I'm doing there. It begins with all of them staring at me from distance, then they come running towards me, stopping only 10 feet away (that was a bit scary before i learned their behavior). The leader cow come closer and take a sniff, then a couple of others do the same. Then they follow me around for a couple of minutes until they finally realize that I haven't got any food, after which they go back to the usual cow activities, leaving me to continue my search.
They are very curious and at the same time very suspicious, sometimes a quick move like raising my hand will cause them to jump back.

That charging toward you and stopping only 10 feet away sounds way too terrifying for me They're huge, heavy, strong animals. I don't think I could it, which makes me kind of sad because hunting in a cow pasture was something I'd hoped to do one day; whenever I see them, they're immobile or very slow, so I thought hunting in their field would be peaceful, as long as a farmer isn't shooting at me. Are sheep/horse pastures any better? How do they behave?

I had a bunch of sheep running at me once. But the same as cows, they just stop like 10 feet away.

I find them more cautious, especially horses. They have a strong instinct to be afraid of everything...

How's it going for you guys? It has really exploded now! People are reporting finding large numbers (1000+) here now.
I went out for a look and found maybe a hundred, many small ones coming up. But since the grass was very wet it was hard spotting them.


I also found some Stropharia pseudocyanea (not active, but very blue):

So far the driest fall I can remember. Haven't been finding anything since maybe mid August.
But I haven't really had the time to do serious hunting, so much travelling/working.
Nice that it finally hits though, maybe I'll get a chance over the weekend.
And very nice shots, KK!

Thanks everyone! I was actually very pleased with how this one came out:

ISO200, 1/60 f2.8 . Manual focus and freehand just before sun set. The gray background is lichens on a stone. I held the mushrooms with my right hand, the camera with my right and the lens leaning on my left arm... It took about 10 shots to get a couple of good ones and one great!
