Just a quick question is finding any shroom or fungus on public land eg. A park,golf course or such a good sign that don't use fugicide on that land or am I wasting my time?? Walked miles and no luck on libs found alota pretty mushrooms though

Usually if you find a host of other mushrooms its a reasonably good indicator that libs have a chance, albeit you'd be better off looking in areas where livestock graze or have done so in the past.

Hi. A lot depends on whereabouts you are. I used to live down south (UK) and never found any. This was near the New Forest, very good for lots of other sorts of mushroom but not libs. That being said there's a high likelihood they are there, but they're hard to spot as there is fewer around than say Dartmoor, the Pennines, Wales, Scotland etc.
Best idea is to check Google earth, look for old pasture, so called 'unimproved' grassland, at some elevation. And cover lots of ground! Keep looking and you will find them.
Also look out for wavy caps, these are you're best bet if searching in a built up urban environment and from what I can glean they're spreading throughout bark chippings up and down the land, increasing in number each year.
Here is a pic of some Wavy Caps for reference

Wow I belive I might of found some of them yesterday but I cant say for sure since they had dropped all there spores and well on the way to dead,are they matured libs? And all the land I'm searching is well used for livestock from as long back as I can remember (I'm 29) I'm in cumbria so I have what I think would be good spots in every direction I walk

Good stuff, you've definitely got the right surroundings then. Wouldn't be able to say without pics and even then they will probably be too far gone to ID correctly. See if you can find some fresher ones after a rainfall and post them up

I agree Cumbria is brilliant for loads of kinds of mushrooms and you'll have no shortage of libs.

Congrats Ultima! I thought you wouldn't have far to look in Cumbria. Odd ones will be widespread throughout the region, however some particular fields contain much higher numbers, for specific reasons unbeknownst to me.
