Going for a nice walk in the forest which is not old tomorrow, going to try some new spots which look quite good with the help of google maps and magic mushroom map, the area is also steeped in ww2 history, nearly every bomb dropped by us was tested there including the bouncing bomb, so even if it's to early for libs it should be interesting. Had an ok season last year but only found enough for 4 or 5 mind journeys last year, even found a Amanita muscaria but left it where it was (not brave enough to prep them lol). hoping this new spot will be more productive, used to have a great field about 5 mins from my house but got ploughed about 5 years ago and hasn't produced since. Hope everyone finds what you are looking for, happy hunting.

Hi, So I dried my shrooms in oven and the ones I picked early dried differently, then ne ones I've picked recently? Did I burned them? Or picked the wrong ones? Can someone explain please? https://ibb.co/LnQ7gCx

Do you not think it'll be a long one? I don't know, I'm supposed to be heading out again on the weekend, but it's going to warm up after today, it'll be dry too. The weather has been super weird this year...I reckon it might prolong the season if anything. Conditions have only been ideal over the last fortnight at most.

I wouldn’t dry them in the oven, they’ll lose a lot of their potency. Dry them on paper ideally with some good airflow for a few days. Then ideally you can use Epsom salts (you can find some links on how to do this online). After that you can store them for ages.

Went out on a mission yesterday eve, only a short one for about 1hr 45mins. Was a lovely evening and the findings where bountiful. Had my first 4 albino libs this year and some massive ones too, as well as a few fimetaria to spice things up! Definitely in the thick of the season here so going to be out every other day until we get the frosts.. happy hunting and good luck to all, enjoy the pics 👌🏼🍄🤙🏼

Nice shrooms Harvonio, what's the rough area you found them? I went out in the new forest for a couple of hours today, didn't even see 1 lib and only saw a few lbm's, still think another week or 2 before we start seeing them on the south coast, always late down here. I would take a drive down to Dartmoor if the media hadn't scare mongered the idiots into panic buying fuel. happy hunting.

I’m in north Devon. Have lived and worked up here all my life so I know exmoor pretty well. It’s been pretty productive this year much better than the last 2 but I believe the shrooms this year are slightly less potent.. good luck pal I’m sure you’ll find some soon!

Long time lurker...first time poster. I had a feeling yesterday something was calling me, went out to a field I had never foraged in before and within an hour had my first (tiny) haul of the season.

To be safe, I would get someone to ID those if I were you DangerChocomog. I’m not confident they’re lib caps.

Found in Ireland last week. First flush is always strong but these... Nobody would believe me if I said what 7 of those did to me.

These are all 100% libs - however some are flat-cap phenotypes which are often disputed as separate psilocybe species, there is even a name for them but I can't remember. @Alan Rockefeller

I dry mine in the oven especially later in the season when I find the prevalence of the maggots you find under the cap increases, don't think the radiator dehydrates them fast enough nd they keep munching caps as long as they live so I prefer oven. I don't really notice a lose in potency but I'm running it at a really low temp for a long time nd place the tray infront of the fan. After that desecent/Mason jar they store ages nd retain potency well.
I'd totally believe what 7 of those did to you, love hunting around megaliths here they always seem to be hot spots... Funny that.

There's one there I'd bin just cus looks a bit gone but I'm with ya, I see flat capped ones like that, I started calling em context pics as I'd find them in context of a flush or family then confirmed by how they dry and bruise, Psilocybe strictipe was a name came up when I tried look at this in more detail.
I've also been finding albinos for the first time this year like others here.

Cheers folk. I threw a couple away that were definitely not libs but what I have left are dried now and a little harder to identify. I went back to the same spot the day after and there was nothing save some funny looking Decievers or something similar, the libs had gone into hiding again so the difference between what was growing up there was definitely apparent to me. I have a couple of other pics I took pre-drying I'll put up in the ID thread.
Many thanks
