Anyone having any luck in southern Sweden? Weather has been so weird this Autumn,I don't think we'll see any substantial finds until November...

Went out for a walk around where I live (1800m altitude). I found these two types of grass.


And guessed who was waiting there patiently

I went back this afternoon, took a few photos and continued my investigation. It’s impressive how they are everywhere! I still can not believe it. Altitude between 1700-2000m Temperature 5-15 degrees

there is need in the community for liberty cap prints if anyone who still got a functioning season is up for it.. i took a few but most of what i found was in a not so fresh state.
this is a good way to do it, but any plastic container will do if its not to big so that they dry out to fast:

and preferably specimens that are ripe, fresh and not to old since picked.
if you get some done you can post in this thread: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/27613283/fpart/18/vc/1
i hope it doesnt interfere with the intention of this thread.
happy hunting !

Some documents as well as Soppos's posts helped me a lot to get an idea of the habitat to look for to find Semilanceata.
Last year I spent all autumn finding a suitable place without success. And this year I see them everywhere!
It seems to me that the key to finding them is to look for the right type of grass and then to have the right conditions. I need to find the original documents and publish them here.

yeah, its all about them grass man!  im happy my lib spamming has been to use.
i usually criss cross a new field to find one or a few. then set the sight after those specifik variables of grass, moisture and such and then go deeper.. if i dont find any quite fast i change field. personally i rather "waste" a few fields with few, to find one that is flushing properly.
this year was a tricky one though. couldnt find a proper flush anywhere, just occasional patches. but those are saved for coming seasons so i know where to start looking. there is quite alot of data in my liberty cache by now :P
i also made me a google maps i have been using for years..

I have been surprised a lot of times when it comes to habitat. But almost every time I find them, Deschampsia caespitosa is present, as is the starry moss Campylium stellatum. I suspect a relationship with either or both.
Seven or eight years back I remember finding some really tight clusters growing in the middle of a thicket of young birch trees, I had trouble moving in there. But the same tufts of said grass species were present.
I get the feeling that we know very little about their true preferences, and that many of the keys to their existence and proliferation is found under ground and not visible to us at all. Hence the difficulty with indoor cultivation.

I have the same feeling. They're mysterious creatures and do things their own way. Which is exactly what makes the hunt so interesting.

The ones growing in grass tufts like that often have a strong stipe. Well nourished, girthy solid fruits.

My first harvest! Thanks for helping me to find my first field!   I have a question about storage...If I put them in the freezer, how long can they stay like that without losing their properties?

Dry them properly, store them in an airtight container together with a desiccant like a silica gel bag. Keep out of direct sunlight, preferably in a closet. Freezing is not really necessary, I've even heard that freezing them affects potency although I can't say for sure.
All I know is that I've tried four or five year old dried mushrooms without noticing any potency loss.

Hi all,
Tried to hunt in cow dung and sheep dung areas, as well as grasslands (don't know whether they were right ones), but could not get any in 4-5 hours. Only found these 2 specimen, apparently not libs. Southeastern Latvia.

I am no way an expert, but these gills and your description of the habitat makes me think these are "Protostropharia semiglobata". If you google this type, you will get more pictures which are really similar.
All in all, I think Baltic season is pretty much over. Too much night frost, more than 1 week in a row.

Probably Tubaria.

My first season this year so Im no expert but last week in Lithuania was perfect weather for libs. Around 8-10 degrees day average and alot of rain. Started looking for libs this year and already found amazingly flushing spot with around 200 individual shrooms and that was 11/03. Was looking close to the weather and next week is around 5-7 degrees day average with some rain. So next weekend will be 2 almost perfect weeks for libs and I will go hunting for sure
