So, went to the horse pasture, one of my best spots, which usually fruits before my lawn does but nothing.... Took a couple pics for shits and giggles. Not too often you come across this hunting for Libs.......

and a lone patch of semiglobata

Also went over my lawn pretty good, no other finds so just a shot of the view I'm blessed with waking up to every morning and one more shot of a couple baby libs with that "golf ball tee" for a reference to monitor growth.

Sweet! I was looking for this thread to start, I kept looking for weeks, and was about to write a post asking if anything was happening down east, because I hadn't heard anything and it's almost October ... Hope the season will be long. Thanks for posting the pics, and I look forward to more.
Looks like a lovely place to wake up to indeed, wolfedawwg. Are you retired and live at your cottage?

I just took some time off work, this is usually a busy time of year between hunting shrooms and my "hobby job", which I will be up most of the night doing..........again.....lol. Just live a simple life in an older style mobile home that used to be my grandparents summer getaway from Florida.

Found a few more on the lawn today so I ventured out to another spot close by........

It was a grind but managed to find a few, about 5 out of the lot were visible to the naked eye.

A little bonus today as well, a lonely Panaeolus cinctulus

Not much to add, these pics are the same mushrooms from my lawn in the very first post. I had them covered with the wheelbarrow and have been misting them several times a day.

Went looking today and found a couple, haven't had much luck and there has been frost the last couple days. Hopefully this tropical storm brings some heavy rain cause it is kinda drying out a bit.
Here are some pics with bonus mushrooms.

Found a few more the other day, haven't been out since It's just been too damn warm here lately, drying up fast. We are getting some much needed rain today so bring on the Liberty caps!!
  
Just for the record, that is a 1 1/4 paper used in that cigarette.....lol

I came across a thread earlier which was about implementing soil survey maps to help find shrooms but it was a map just for the UK so I did some digging and found this........
http://sis.agr.gc.ca/cansis/publications/surveys/index.html
A pretty useful tool for pre-planning shroom hunts IMO.

WOW those maps are a perfect tool! yes we got lots of rain too not supposed to be really cold tonight but around 6c i think which might produce some hopefully 
So i figured i would edit this post with my finds this morning.
Only found one patch and they were all within 1 sqm lots of other cool mushrooms too in the same area.

AWESOME Resource Man! Thanks! I've actually just ordered the last item I need to start doing soil pH Testing! I want to compare all my areas and see if they're close to the same. I'm going to continue skimming through this while I wait for the GF to get off work so I can head off on a Hunt! All that rain yesterday hopefully prompted a good flush!

typically if you find mushrooms of a certain variety some where that you and looking for, you can cross reference the soil types to help find other areas that could produce those mushrooms.

My best spot EVER on my map is listed as: Parent Material: ACIDIC Dark reddish brown gravelly clay loam till Drainage: Good Topography: 0-30% slope Stonieness: slightly to excessive with slightly being the preferred side of the scale. Not sure how the maps for the other provinces are laid out but that how it's described in mine. Liberty caps also love feeding on sedge grass roots!!

Thanks for the awesome pictures, makes me want to go hunting for some. I live in Halifax, so I just assumed libs only really grew on fields with dung and did not want to drive to and wonder around on some random guy's field. I don't think I saw any poo in any of the pictures. Are you having success with hunting spots without any animals that roam the fields?

Pretty much anywhere there is grass.....lol Cemeteries and any newly sodded/seeded areas are good spots to check if you don't have access to any pastures.

Ok great, thanks for the tips! I wonder if the type of soil helps determine good hunting spots to check for libs. Someone linked this on the site for the east coast a day or two ago. http://sis.agr.gc.ca/cansis/publications/surveys/ns/index.html

So, I medicated this morning before I went out for a quick pick and forgot the facking camera but their wasn't much to photograph anyway, as I suspected. The first pic is the haul from a local pasture that has been inactive for about 5 years, still yields decent amounts but the grass is so long, it's a struggle and time consuming. The other pics are from my lawn, I found about 15 (didn't harvest any yet) but they are all new since the rain, just judging by the size, I would guesstimate that Saturday/Sunday will be prime picking.

There was a spot that used to produce lots years ago, where the grass grew quite tall over time. Last Year I brought a "Whipper-Snipper" with me a few weeks before season and cleared a "Test-Spot"... and Bam!... a few came up. I didn't get down this year in time but next season I'm gonna call ahead and offer a few buddies a couple cases of beer to go in and clear it for me ..... and the answer is "Yes".... I am that Crazy Obsessed!

I was checking out this abandoned house and in the really long grass I spotted a lib that had to be close to 9 inches long, it was a freak of nature lol there were a few other really big guys there too I feel like they can grow bigger in the long grass it gives them something to hold on to, but yeah they are harder to spot

This will always put a smile on your face first thing in the morning.....

The habitat: Active horse pasture Drug along the young fella for an extra set of eyes today.

More..........
 
Took home 160.....nom..nom..nom. Probably left at least 50 pins. Just for the record, I consider these to be on the smaller end of the scale for a pasture but in comparison to my lawn, I don't think I would find much bigger......the visuals are starting to hit me pretty good as I am typing this.........................lololoolololololololololol

Yep...100% they adapt to a certain grass and its length. There's a spot back home with super long grass that produces Monsters too!

Man...So jealous of your habitats.... I could only wish to have places that sweet to hunt... unfortunately most pastures anywhere around here will get you shot at for going near! I wish I could find someone who would allow me to hunt their fields though! Til then I'll just keep scrounging em up on lawns & where I can!

Yeah that's really too bad, Liberty King, but as long as you're able to gather enough for yourself and maybe a few friends, you're good. It is, however, annoying that the best fields are private. It's on my bucket list to find and try semis in my lifetime, but I find it discouraging to read posts like yours about private pastures. Makes me almost want to give up. I'd be traveling quite the distance to try to look for them, and I imagine that more public places like cemeteries would have tons of competition and I'd barely stand a chance. Seeing post after post of finds makes it look easy, and then reality sets in

Yeah, I searched 7 or 8 fields today in Halifax with no luck. They make it look easy.

 I too have been hunting Libs that long.... exactly the same! They are like hunting a small elusive animal... You may go years without seeing it in the wild, until one day you catch a glimpse... then you start to learn what to look for, and get a feeling about "areas".... but all that does is better your odds.... It doesnt mean you'll be sucessful most hunts ... it's all about persistance! Good Luck Hunting Folks.... I'm heading out to my 5th new area in the morning... 0/4 so far.... then heading to my ""Neverfail Zone" after to make myself feel better!

That looks awesome!
Checked out a spot today that i have every only found 100 or so at a time, two days ago there was only two libs about 15 feet apart and now they each have about 15-20 around them i picked a few of the older slug eaten guys and spread them around a bit.
What methods do you guys use to try and promote spreading these guys, i usually just deposit a few caps in areas that look lib friendly, is this effective? or is there a better way to go about it?

The most important thing to help promote spreading is to NOT reveal the location of your spots to ANYBODY and never pick it clean. I use the 10 % rule and leave 1 out of every 10! I usually always have my spray bottle with a spore print or 2 in it. The first thing I do when I get home is drag my spore laden boots around the lawn and then I cut any stem butts still attached and throw them in a shallow graves around the lawn. When my Grandfather still owned this place, I checked this lawn EVERY SEASON for about 15 years, NOTHING!! That's when I started spraying spore water and spreading stem butts about. I will easily harvest a couple hundred off my lawn this year.

I've been quite busy "Hunting by Day.... and Stix Drinking By Night!.... All Day!" (JRE or Diaz Fans will get the "All Day" addition! ) Anyway it's supposed to "Storm" tonight So I'm going to try and post my updates & pics later on! No Hauls like the one above but it's definitely been a good Lib-cation so far! All "My" spots have produced & I'm hoping this 2 days of rain will prompt a Nice big flush before I shoot over to CB for a Night!

Sorry but this isn't the spot for that Info, nor are you supposed to ask for, Locations! I know from experience that Halifax is a tough Area to Hunt... My only finds were for 1 Season, Then they never returned again! Same goes for the one Darkside Spot!
Anyway my 1st Stix hunt was october,18th, 2016... It was my lowest yielding day, only resulting in around 50 or so... I spent most of the time messing with my Camera and trying to fix-up my new mount. Anyway the Pics over the next few days get better as do the results. So Here are a few pics from Lib-cation Day 1... was going to post the rest but it's 3:30am now and I'm heading back out at 5:30am so I need to crash for a bit!

Even if someone did, I don't see why they'd want to give up one of their known spots for you. And I don't think we're allowed to ask exact locations of mushrooms on here. I've searched a couple dozen fields multiple times around Spryfield, Cowie hill, and Herring cove without luck. Also been looking for wood lovers, but nothing active seems to grow in this area, or at least not very commonly. Only interesting thing I've found was a couple of large clusters of honey mushroom. If I find some p. semilanceata, I'll be sure to spread the spores around in some fields so that some actually grow around here. Good luck!

I don't know about the rest of the maritime's, but the last few days here on PEI have been the absolute perfect mix for the growth of libertys (warm/cold and wet)
I feel as though the sporadic warm temperatures and the consistent cold temperatures are PERFECT for lib mycelium growth and also for the proliferation of spores and their ability to form new myco structures. Having had frost temperatures over 2 weeks ago, and 3 days ago having had temperatures in the near 20's i feel encourages the germination of spores that would have had to normally waited till spring to form their mycelial(is that a word?/why not?)structures. now causing new excessive fruiting.
The reason i mention this is because today i checked out a few spots but did not harvest, and expect to be able to pick over 10 lbs tomorrow 
If i decide to pick tomorrow and not wait, i can guarantee you will see 3000+ libs on here tomorrow

Can't wait to see those pictures. I think it's supposed to rain the next 5 out of 6 days in Halifax, so I'm hoping for some potential finds myself. Some days are really cold, some are really warm. What a weird October we're having.

My first ever "successful" hunt in Halifax 
 Quick question for you more experienced fellahs. How deteriorated does a liberty cap need to be to stop you from picking it?

You will be able to tell when it is in the rotting stage, it's pretty much either not "fresh" looking or in one of its varying stages of hygrophanous. It's in between there if that make any sense.....lol. Libs will literally dry out perfectly left in the ground, provided it stays dry long enough. I'm gonna do an experiment for my next trip to compare potency. I picked about 100 off my lawn the other day after a couple days of wind and sun, they weren't cracker dry but they had a darn good start. Also, another thing I noticed with the "vine dried" libs from picking them the other day is the mycelium on the stem butts seems a lot more hardy versus fresh ones, next time yous are out pickin and find some dried ones, have a look. I've been burying the stem butts from those fuckers everywhere, even got some in flower pots with sods from the lawn.

Fuckin' Sweet NewLibAngel!... and I can't complain, I'm doin' alright... Glad to see ya back around! The day before yesterday I hit a patch, by accident, that was better than any I've seen in at least my last 10 years of hunting.... Unfortunately it was in a busy spot so I couldn't get field pics but there were thousands... Grabbed an easy 5-600 in 10-15mins between vehicles! A few monster specimens too!... I wanted to at least do haul pics but we were at my Girl's granmas so it was too complicated... They're all dried up and not as impressive at the moment ( They were Growers Not Show'ers ) Anyway gonna try N' catch up with libcation pics... here are some day 2 pics from Oct,20th They are from multiple spots I call: The Foxhole, The SeaStar, My Never Fail Zone & Doozer Field!

I will also say it has been unusually dry this fall.... The Stix where I grew up is usually always grey & misty, if not raining! I usually change my socks 5-10 times per day hunting there... this year dry as a bone hahaha Had to take my sweater & Layers off several days! As far as "Too Late".... I dunno your specific area but to me if the ground doesn't get a solid perma-frost it's still go time... n even then I've found Stragglers! When the dreaded white stuff stays on the ground (*Hint* Not Booger Sugar) is usually the final whistle for me!

I wouldn't leave em in that bag too long, wet like that. I like using a large Tim Horton cup. I've been approached many times while picking, I mean taking pictures.....lol, and just throw my lid on the cup and literally walk away pretending to sip on my coffee.

It was pouring out and our paper bags were soaked so we used the plastic tii we got back to car. Tim's cup is a great idea! We have permission from a farmer to pick so not worried much in that sense but great idea for more public spots!

total dry weight is 14.6 G from that 1 hunt (5 hours of hunting) blowing our record of 5.5 G out of the water certainly was a pick to remember I've had good days, but never have i experienced a day when it was impossible to not find them clusters everywhere unreal ,...for two days afterwords whenever i closed my eyes i could see libs in vivid detail and on top of all that, we finally asked the owner of the property if we could hunt there and he is fine with it, he even walked with us and pointed them out for us amazing,.... literally a dream come true, we fantasized about that day for several years no more running to the edge of the field when we hear a truck pulling up sorry for the rant 0.o happy hunter over here

Holy Shit Newlibangel That is Impressive! Even more so that the owner allows you to hunt there now!.... That's my ultimate dream!
Here are my day 3 pics from the Libcation, taken on Oct,21,16 at the Foxhole, the SeaStar, NFZ, DD1 & Roberts Ridge. THE VERY LAST PIC HAS A VISITOR TOO!

Few more small flushes in my spot that seemingly popped up over the weekend.

and.... Finally Day #6 of my Libcation Pt.1 on Oct,26th,16 was by Far the Best! I hit 2 New Spots. The 1st I dubbed "The Honey Pot" was by Far the Best I've seen in at least a Decade... Unfortunately it is in a very busy, very public spot!  I snapped a couple quick photos when I 1st got there but then put the Camera away and just tried to snag what I could. There were literally thousands there, with one patch of a few hundred being the nicest group I've ever seen... I'm still pissed I didn't run back and grab the camera just to snag a quick shot but it was at the farthest area in the Spot and the Shear Number of onlookers, plus the length of time I'd been there and amount I'd already picked got the better of me  Anyway though the pics make it seem like the worst day but it was by Far my Best! After that we went to where we were staying and, lo and behold, more Libs!  This Area I'm Calling "The Barn Yard"  So.... in summary, Shitty Pics... Great Day!

Well... Before my Libcation Pt.2 I couldn't resist getting to the "H-Zone"..... So Glad I did! For the last few years I've only ever found random stragglers here & There. 2 Years Back I ran into an Older Man there who seemed a bit Stand-Offish when I said "Hello". He seemed annoyed that I spoke to him but I noticed he had a bucket he was just throwing random mushrooms in. When I said "Nice Collection" he said "Yeah they're Liberty Caps".... I pointed out that a few were but most were not and told him which were.... Perhaps my simply trying to stop him from consuming a "Hodge-Podge Mushroom Tea" was where I messed up  In My over 25 years of Lib Hunting I've met some really cool people in fields.. Mostly "Amateurs"& "Novices", Like Myself. I usually try and help if I can, or gladly accept any knowledge they wish to share.... I'll continue to be that way with people who seem cool... But I think the next Guy like this I may just leave be  As I was walking back to my GF Today I saw this very man again... As I would with anyone I said "Hello"... He rapidly walked by cutting a shitty look at me and refusing to respond. Not that it matters in this story but... I'm not a small guy, nor am I one to shy away from confrontation... I've been in more Knock-Down Drag-Outs than I can remember... being on both ends of them plenty of times  As I said though, he was an older, somewhat Frail looking man and I didn't want to escalate the situation by calling him out on it.... I'd never lay a hand on someone like that if they "got stupid" with me anyway... I prefer to Fight aggressive people with "Tough-Guy Bully" mentalities! Anyway I'm sure he has been the one pillaging this area the last few years... Not like either of us own the area but I noticed he went directly to a spot where I left some little Baby Pins and started frantically ripping them up with clumps of grass which he was angrily stogging in his bucket... Over the last few years I knew I was showing up after someone because I would find the grass all parted, with footsteps and Litter thrown around each main spot... as I left I watched him throw some garbage and thought about walking back again... but... why bother... I knew I already picked any Libs worth picking and nothing good was going to result. 
So... One Shitty Picker... but one Great Day at the "H-Zone" on Nov,8th,16

Entertaining story to read, and thanks for the pics. Reminds me of a guy I encountered while hiking this summer.

Found another 30 or so, for a total of around just over 100 from my spot so far. Found this pretty big one 3 or 4 times bigger than any of the others I've found. Stem was also a lot shorter than most of the libs I've found. It was growing with some other libs. I mean, it looks like a lib to me? You guys often come across any monster ones like this?

Yup.... I find "Bobble-Heads" like that quite often! If you look in my last batch of pics there might be a couple of them.... but they're in their habitat so there is nothing to use for comparison. It does seem that Giant Caps either have super short stems or really long ones too. The Biggest one, last hunt but might not be in my Pics, the Cap is actually split/Busted and the stem was doubled over with grass propping up the half-fallen Cap! Anyway Congrats on your successful season so far Fellah! I'm on the 2nd half of my Libcation but unfortunately it's been terrible here.... I did better before. It's very dry & very warm here which is almost unheard of down here. Supposed to have a few showers overnight & possibly tomorrow but nothing yet. Then beautiful for like a week  In my 2 days "out" I found 2 Libs... 1 per Day!.... Fingers crossed for tomorrow as I took today off for Remembrance Day. Anyway #LestWeForget & Cheers to the Veterans! To everyone else Good Luck Hunting & Keep your Eyes peeled!

Well... Libcation Pt.2 was a BIG FAT BUST.... after a full week in the Stixx I averaged 1 Lib per Day! It was so dry & warm the entire week, it was pitiful! I've never seen it like that, especially Mid November! The Day I left it poured and it's supposed to do so for the next week... Then get cold again so I'm sure they will be everywhere then!  I strategically timed to be there during, what was peak time last year.... but it's just how it works... sometimes you hit the big "Flushes"... sometimes ya don't! ohhhh well.... best of luck to those still hunting! Maybe I'll get one more in before it's over!
