Could you rig up something like this>



an old computer fan, a new one only cost a few £££, for when you want to dry those huge hauls quickly. You could put them in front of a radiator for a few hours. This little old fruiting chamber holds four tiers, and is plenty for the small number of libs I used to find.

Hi everyone. I'm new to this but I'd just like to ask a question. I'm in the south of the UK (Bognor Regis area) and it's still about 18 degree here... I read that it ideally needs to be below 15 degrees or so during the day but it has been raining an awful lot recently. Is it worth going out to look now or should I wait until it's a bit colder? Thanks

Hello people. As I am trying this I am sat in a field, it's a lovely field with plenty of mushrooms, rusty gilled small mushrooms, plenty of them. But no liberty caps at all, at this moment it is 16 degrees, last night it was about 9, and this has been the trend for a while, the grass is wet, fairly long and the altitude is about 104 metres. It's a real struggle out here I just wish trains to lake District were not £100. I am crawling on my belly looking for them, but nothing. It's still early however and I have probably only searched 10% of this field. Here is a question, if within the first 10 minutes of searching in a field you find nothing, should you just get out of there and search for another place? Or am I just impatient? Thank you for a reply if anyone feels so inclined

I like to follow this rough system:

1. I find a new prospective field
2. I walk around quickly, covering ground looking for any signs of mushroom life.
3. If there's no mushroom life at all after 10-15 mins, I go to step 1. If I'm seeing mushrooms which grow in a similar environment to what I'm looking for, I keep walking around.
4. If I haven't found any libs after another 15-20 mins I go to step 1.
5. Once I find a lib, I go slower and lower and keep my eyes peeled.  It's unusual to only find one or two but does happen, so I don't pin (no pun intended) too much hope on one or two pins.

Having access to a car is a real benefit and my heart does go out to younger people who are limited in their ability to get around.

You need to start loving yourself. You might have to force yourself to do this, but it's easy when you know how. First step, treat your body with the respect it deserves, and know who you are. Feed yourself like you are a potential cup winning plant, trying to win a prize at a show. Nothing but the best will do. Then, activate your zest for life by trashing all the bad stuff you do, all the negatives (especially the negative people,no matter how close they are, trash them). You have to do this. "Know thy self". Fill your life with what you enjoy. Quit your shitty job if you have one. If you hate it, quit. Do something more rewarding for less money.
Eat as much organic+ food as possible. Cut out all the non-organic.
The best foods you can put inside your body are the "electric foods", discovered by Dr Sebi. A google and YT search will give you all the info you need. Make sure you eat loads of Sebi foods. It's an awakening in itself. Listen to what Sebi says.
Listen to Richard Bandler, and his techniques for reducing depressive states. His Higherside CHats interview is a great starting point.
You are in the Garden of Eden. You are a lucky bastard to be here, if any other of the darts your Dad fired into your Mum other than the one that did make the grade, had beaten that particular one, you would not be here. It's miraculous. And it all starts with a flash of light. Pure magic.
Sack the Smart Phone. Get a cheap phone, go text only.
Take cold showers, a la Wim Hoff. This is very important. No pain, no gain. This will make you feel instantly better, and put some hairs on your chest.
Meditate, breathe, feel.
Just boshing a few mushrooms isn't going to cure anything, you have to take all the other steps to enrich your heart and life. I've given you what I think are good tips, but I'm just an armchair person, not a pro.
