If you are eating 40 libs you should be feeling something. Are you sure they were all libs? Looking at your post history looks like you were also picking the occasional semiglobata thou you were finding plenty of libs as well. If you are mixing those up with your libs you might only be having a smaller dose...
Another thing I’ve noticed is if you eat Shrooms after a big meal the effects are less pronounced. Better trip i find if eaten on a empty stomach or having only eaten a light snack in the few hours before. I think you said you hadn’t ate so maybe the above is more likely

thanks! yeah could well be, fungus is mysterious. I think this area might just always be sparse, but I'll see how things go!

Thanks to the advice given @ruddy_nora / @sid shroom, and perseverance I have finally found my first libs! Unfortunately it's on private land. Ticks many boxes though: pasture land, predominantly sheep but cattle as well, has been pastures for 100s of years and is uncultivated, many clumps of reeds large and small and a deep spongy layer of decaying roots. Made for difficult initial sighting. Yurns out I stumbled right into a great little flush. Picked 45 before the rain had driven me off, but I officially have a "spot" 🎉 Had to dig into the grass to find 90% of them, sneaky little things.

30-40 libs you'll feel something but if taking close after the last, it can weaken the effects.Back in the day, My first ever dose was 50 libs, then I upped it to 200 fresh libs the second time a week later - to the next dimension.

can i ask what kind of dry weight people are taking for a decent trip - just curious to see the variance really. I am off out for a final foray tomorrow depending on the lock down situation in my area. Hopefully I can get stocked up. Went local today about 20m above sea level and nothing doing still.

Nice one JayBizz, congrats! I'm genuinely really pleased for you.
I only found my first ever libs 2 weeks ago, after spending the whole of autumn 2019 searching and finding nothing.
Oh God yeah - they are pesky little gits - hiding out in those clumps of grass, all brown coloured and blending in. The cheeky little buggers! But once you've seen them, you can never un-see them, eh?

Going to take my first shrooms soon, I’ve spent so many hours picking and exploring and learning and hopefully it’s going to be the first of many. Wish me luck guys and don’t worry I know to take it easy and just have a good time 🍄 Peace out

https://www.shroomery.org/12510/Psilocybe-semilanceata
these are dry weight (dry/fresh actually fairly similar due to Psilocin, tho personally rarely take fresh)
level <=2 for more recreational doses level 3+ for heavier trips
obvs can vary significantly - dealing with wild shrooms afterall start low. can always take more after few hours -- but doesn't work other way around

Had a weird one last night, did 1g dry in lemon tea, first time using lemon so was being cautious, soaked dry shrooms in a little lemon juice for 20 mins then added everything to just off boil water and let it steep on a low heat for another twenty, then strained and made tea with the water and added honey and milk [milk was a big mistake as the lemon made it curdle, not nice but still tasted ok lol]. trip came on within 10 mins and was nice but not enough. After about an hour made another cup of just tea [didn't like the taste of the lemon] with another 1.5g and that was a nice level, another hour went past and I had to go for a piss and in this time I became very straight headed and even listening to The ORB on headphones I couldn't get back into the trip, another hour later I was asleep. shortest trip ever and the shrooms were from the same spot I had a nice 5 hour trip 2 weeks ago. Can anyone think of a valid reason for this or was it just my mental state.

Compilation of finds from the last few weeks
The Photogenic boys!

Old and Gold

Sturdy

Some strange looking fellas here, straight caps and quite pale, no visible spores, ideas?


Most blueing I've seen

Biggest patch I've found, love the shape on this variation.

Blue gills! (threw it out though, didn't look great )

Freakshow

Mate I took 20 fresh last night and had a really fun time. Went back to the same field today to collect more to dry. Picked about 150 before my bag couldn't hold anymore 😭 I'm going away for 3 weeks tomorrow so I won't have a chance to collect anymore but I'm over the moon that I've got some. Probs 3-4 happy trips or maybe 2 heroic doses 👀

Thanks ShroomAnon, it's funny how excited I get when I see them 😂 I hope that never goes away.
@ Sid Shroom: You're right, can't unsee them 🧐 now I just need to research the other strains and fungi in general I think.
PS: Watched Fantastic Fungi last night as well...i would recommend it to everyone on this forum to check it out. It follows Paul Stamets and what he's doing with fungi and his experience. Really interesting 👌🏻

Could it be tolerance levels ramping up? Much like weed, the body builds up resistance to psylocin. If you've been shmashing it that could be it (not that I'm saying that twice in as many weeks is smashing it at all)
Just my 2 pence
