2 days ago I went to a spot I got a nice amount last year and there was absolutely nothing yet, not a sign that anything has grown at all... It was late October last time I was there, so I'll have to check the place every once in a while and hope I'll be lucky soon ~

Those are some nice catches I see on the photos, I hope to get something similar soon ~

Got some spare time and couldn't resist one last run. So I went far far to the wet west. There's f-in snow on the mountains now! Cruised over one of the 1200moh + passages litterly alone up there, spectacular!

And since it's pitch black outside, quite early and I wasn't tired due to caffeine overdose while driving I went for a stroll with my headlamp..

Got pretty spooked when several tons of beef I hadn't seen got curious on me.  Got a Pretty decent haul. it looks like it should now, finally!
Looking forward to the coming week. Picture quality sucks though

That’s encouraging news. Has it been as dry in the North as it has been here in the south? We’ve had 1hr of rain in the last 2 weeks.

September was dry and warm, but it started to rain about a week ago and now it's rainy every single day.

Hey everyone,
Just wondering is the season coming to an end since the last few nights were 2 degrees celsius? Yesterday I went out in the evening and managed to only find 50 libs with slightly frosted caps.. Will this kind of weather make them flush or it’s coming to an end? Thanks :mushroom2:

Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum for search of some help. I live in Lithuania the capital city Vilnius, and I'm wondering if it's possible finding libs in Vilnius or do I need to take a drive further away from the city :smile:

Where are you located? They will come untill several nights of frost in a row. The season in northern higher altitude Baltic seem to be closing in to finish, but they are still coming in pretty decently in other areas that is lower in altitude .. if autumn is going, so will libs. I would be hunting until snow hits

In 2016 we had a similar kind of season as this one, and I picked my best hauls
in late November after a week of temperatures as low as -8 celsius. It surprised
me then how hardy these fuckers can be. I picked my last haul November 29th that
year, they were coming up through the thin layer of snow, frozen but maggot-free and strongly bluing.
:sunny:

Let's see how things come on, mushrooms are unpredictable and we really know zilch
regarding their optimal requirements.

Some shots from the previous week:

I'm in Bergen so the altitude I normally hunt in varies from 1 to approximately 600 meters above sea level.
Most of my best regular spots are at 200-250 meters. There are many areas around that I've not yet been to, even
after almost two decades of hunting in this region. But as man is a strongly habitual animal, I tend to revisit
the spots that gave good yields in previous years.

I just love the sombrero guys. Very nipply <3
I'm the last two pics they are growing in gravel, almost no soil. But since there is grass ..

It feels like there is a few phenotypes of libs that occurs quite often.
Los sombreros, the wizard hat, super flat, mini, monster, albino .. often in the same patches.

What kind of other variations do the rest of you see?

Hey everyone, been obsessed about finding at least one liberty cap this year. Bought shroom map, been checking various maps and gathering everything I can, but without luck yet. Searched some open fields but as experienced edible mushroom picker I can definitely tell not enough humidity in part of Lithuania Im in.

Today I went to woods to check some roads that are under constant shadow from both sides and boy I found alot of mushrooms which raised my morale to keep searching. Im finding lot of stuff especially ink caps and while I was in woods I've seen crazy amounts of amanitas.

Will be going this weekend to different parts because I can see that North Western part of Lithuania had alot of rain.
Some of todays finds tho probably not liberty caps so I left them.

Just keep looking.. that grass land looks very nice, what temps you got?
I mostly hunt in high altitude, but lituania seems quite flat?
Is there some regions famous for sheep around? For some reason it's usually where I find the most active places.

Mostly I try to find really old, un-machined places. But have also had some crazy finds on fields that has been tampered by human activity.

As anglerfish earlier said, we know silch about their preferred fruiting conditions. Maybe it's still early around you or you just need to keep going and they will come.

It's not like I find them everywhere, one needs to search aloot of possible places until luck hits within the local season

As long as you keep your obsession level up, they will eventually show themselves;)

Water temp is around 13-15 degrees so I assume that's day's average. Actually those open fields looked amazing but I found 2 shrooms in about hour and a half. As I mentioned feels way too dry.

Most stuff I found was on this road in the forest which has cut grass on both sides and is under constant shadow through day so it keeps moisture in. If at least 1% was psilocybin mushrooms I would be in outer space for next year probably.

Next I went back to the city and managed to find crazy amount of some kind of liberty cap lookalikes, they were growing in low spot in an open field with some big oaks around so it's under the shadow most of the time.

Lithuania is very flat compared to Scandinavia so I have little to no choice regarding that. Sheep are very scarce here but we kinda have a lot of cows so I tried following them but did not really seen any difference there regarding species. I did not make a lot of photos of my findings but I was wondering - can Psilocybe semilanceata have different characteristics like color, size, shape in different climate zones and parts of the world?

Biggest problem right now I'm facing is wanting every "creamy brown" mushroom to be liberty cap and even if it's not "creamy brown" I'm trying convince myself it is haha.

Nah, a lib is a lib..
They have some slight cap variations occasionally but mostly looks like text book. Darker grey/brownish when wet, light pale beige when dry. Look in the other threads on Liberty cap Id

Just keep going out, hopefully your season has barely started. It's alot of work finding good spots, but soo rewarding!

As you say, if its hot, it's not ..the weather should be in wet woolsweater mode.
