so ive been hunting once before and posted pics of my find here, but (stupidly) ate a small white mushroom before i got an id and found out it was a posinous mushroom but i was luckly fine and since then i have been looking online at the most common shrooms in the uk and the best conditions although i cant do much about the month right now, it has been raining for 3 days on and off now and finally stoped last night im on a farm with cow and sheep fields in cornwall along side some pretty big woods. does anyone have any tips for this area and coditions that i may of not heard? im going to be looking for Psilocybe semilanceata (liberty caps), Psilocybe cyanescens (wavy caps),Panaeolus fimicola and Psilocybe fimetaria if you have any others i should look for or stay away from please drop there name here, and dont worry i will not be eating any until i inspect them, wash them, check to see that they are in fact what i think they are and also try and get an id from here
thank you

You should look for Psilocybe semilanceata in sheep and cow pastures. I'm pretty sure you'll still be able to find some, although season appears to be fading at this point, even in Cornwall.
Don't waste your time on Panaeolus fimicola, they are difficult to identify without a microscope, and in any case the content of active compounds is very low so by the time you eventually found enough of them you'd probably have to spend an entire mushroom season.
Psilocybe fimetaria on the other hand is apparently potent on the level of P. semilanceata, but is a very rare species, and it is also pretty similar to the latter in appearance, with the distinct difference that it grows directly from dung of horse and cow.
Remember to bring a camera with you when you're out hunting, take good close up pictures of the mushrooms you find, include all vital details like gills and stem. Take notes for each find and post pictures and descriptions here and we'll do our best to help you with identification.
Happy hunting!
