I went hunting today, North Estonia. Found 120+ mostly smaller libs over the course of about 3 hours. By the time it was getting dark, frost started to appear on the ground and some of the mushrooms even began to freeze, so I think the season is ending here. Luckily I found a new field and managed to have a successful hunt this year, so I'm really glad about that. I learned a bit more about the habitat too, and I guess my 'technique' for spotting the mushrooms themselves developed a bit.

If it wasn't getting dark by 4-5pm I would search the field a bit longer and possibly find 2x as much, but I didn't have a headlamp with me and don't have the time to return tomorrow. Later this week looks to be too cold already.

For those who are having difficulty finding new areas where libs grow - I was used to finding liberty caps in taller grass tufts like this first photo

For instance in overgrown grass that looks like this:

This year I finally had some luck with a new field that was mostly short grass, a variety of moss, some other very small plants and many other mushrooms. When looking for a new area, I would normally scout to see if there are any mushrooms at all - if I can find other mushrooms sprouting I continue to look for libs. If it is completely bare, I move on to search for a new area. From my experience when other mushrooms are also sprouting then libs are also very plentiful.
Libs that grow in shorter grass/open field seem to be considerably smaller when compared to those growing in "deschampsia cespitosa" and similar grasses. Mushrooms in open grass also don't seem to grow in bunches, but are near one another.


However 'taller' specimens can still be found:

Next season I will look for cleared pathways near forests, for example where forests are cleared for power lines and are overtaken by grasses. Looks like nearby woods that help keep the moisture up and prevent wind from drying the area helps the mushrooms to fruit. Open fields with too much wind like we have on the north coast of Estonia generally are dry, so search near treelines or 'protected' areas. Good luck to those who are still searching but I am done for this year. Happy with what I learned and found

Seems like you found my spot . Cool, but keep it secret. Too many people know it already. And if on next year you see cars full of people coming there when you are there. Leave , they might take away yo stash
