Went checking my two spots yesterday. North-Estonia. One was empty (this year didn`t provide at all). From other spot I picked around 15 little ones in 1 hour and saw lots of Panaleous species growing. So they are still out there. I think if the weather holds plus degrees and some heavy rain & sunshine in coming week, I will go and visit the spot again on the weekend
P.S. Just a "shower thought" : Imagine if I would have visited the field that didn`t provide any for the first time in my life. There was not a single mushroom to be found (not even wrong ones), I would think "f*ck it, waste of time" and would never return. Even though it seems all the conditions are right, but no shrooms. But I know in fact it was my main spot last year and years before that, have picked hundreds of semis there. So for sure I will return next season. I think I have crossed out many promising fields that way. Just cause in this particular year they didn`t provide, doesn`t mean that next year they will be empty too. Have to remind myself that when encountering another perfect habitat but empty spot..
Happy huntings !

Take some fresh libertys and throw them to places which have perfect conditions. They should appear some year in those spota if you lucky enough. Some guy gave that advice. Also don't go picking every year then. Give them time.

While the season is coming to an end for some of you, it just started for me in northern germany. First significant finds for this year on a recently abandoned horse manure.

Yeah was a bit cold in Southern Finland this weekend with some light snow, but it should be warming up tomorrow. Going back out later this week, this season hasn't been the best, so i'm hoping for some late season finds..
Good luck everyone!

That is what i was told, when I asked how to outdoor cultivate liberty caps in home garden.

Is it common to still find them after the first snow? For example if the temperature gets warmer again, or it's not likely?

I guess with P. semilanceata, nature is the best cultivator. With an outdoor grow, you'd likely have to follow the season anyway, like people do with woodlover cultivation, so your fruits would probably appear at the same time as the wild ones.

If the snow is temporary and the temperatures rise a bit after the snow melts, then it's possible to find them. It's not common, though, since most times a snow fall signifies winter which normally is the end of season.

It dipped to almost freezing yesterday but I thought this weather prognosis looked promising:

I'm still searching for new areas as I couldn't find any libs this year from the spot I know of, so really I'm asking if it's worth my time. Several days of wet weather and those temps look ideal to me, especially if it will be warmer and possibly sunny. Thoughts?

That prognosis looks good, yes.
You should always be on the lookout for new spots, though. It really increases your chances of a good season if you have more available areas to hunt in, since different spots tend to give different yields each season - i.e. one that really delivered last year, might appear dead the next, and vice versa.

This year was pretty great year. Overall about 500 libs. But I did not find any good pastures where libertys grow. No luck this year. 1 person gave me a good place to look, but its known place, but still managed to get 300+- from there. So thanks for him. I hope next year I have more money to travel around

Is the season over in the Sweden (Stockholm and southwards)?
I haven't found a single thing. 
Someone give me some tips please.

Best way for you to find out is to get out and look. Don't spend your time here while someone else might be out there picking your mushrooms!
Seriously though, just follow the forecast and if the temps are somewhere reasonably above zero degrees, the humidity above 75 - 80 %, and the pressure somewhere between 990 and 1015 hPa - you're good to go.
This time of year it usually takes a bit more work to find sufficient amounts, though.

How do you look for new fields? Do you find a good place and go thoroughly through it or do you try to go over more places and at faster pace?

Depends on the field. If the vegetation is right and other conditions (it has been raining etc.), then I look more closely and spend some time. Also if you find indicator mushrooms on the field (panaeolus species for example) then it surely needs closer inspection Or in fact any kind of mushrooms is sometimes a good sign already. With time you will develop the right gut feeling

I will use google satellite view to find areas likely to harbour liberty caps, or I'll take note of potential spots when out walking.
I usually walk at a moderate pace and look for any kind of mushroom growth, then if I find anything at all, I'll start combing through the area more closely.
One thing I've discovered over the years is that even though I got regular spots to which I return season after season - and this goes for all species I'm hunting, also edibles - is that very often the best finds are surprises in new and unknown fields or forests. Like the late great composer and mycophile John Cage said - hunting mushrooms is about chance encounters.

I must had been extremely unlucky. I do pretty much the same things, however I did not find anything in Lithuania even though I tried looking in perfect spots and different parts of country. I had found some lib caps last year in UK so it's not like I am incapable of identifying them.

Look for clay soil in some maps. The field that my buddy said has some, in maps shows clay soil.
