I've just found this thread and think it may have inspired me. I'm South Midlands, so it sounds like I have the opportunity to go for a walk at the weekend.
VH - thanks for the photos. I guess most on here have picked for years and the examples are obvious, but they're really helpful to a total noob like me.

Nice stash so far! Do you reckon you'll smash all that before next season?
Do you freeze them or just stash in dark room at room temperature?

With mild visuals... eyes closed.. quite a Nice feeling last about 2-3hrs need to take early or else no sleep! Anything more ( for me is too much.. i was teleporting around the house.. not pleasant! Dog barking at me like i was possessed! )

I've dried two Fly Agaric but can't really find info on microdosing..
Also many contradiction on high heat low heat, i started at 50 and went up to 100 with the oven door propped open, now in airtight container with desicant packs.. they both look and feel cracker dry... but not sure if i converted the ibotenic acid as you're supposed to do..

They can be hard to dose best to combine it all and make a volumetric solution say of 400ml like a tea for example and just start with maybe 20ml depends how many you brew into it, tea up the mushrooms and bang it on the stove for 30-40 mins make sure to add lemon juice or vinegar to the water and be generous with it, vinegar don't taste that bad either with amanitas, cheers
edit since there's two i'd start at 25ml, 50ml may be the right dose though it really depends how strong they end up being or weak

Probably just a short spell which might halt them slightly but trigger them in the long run. It's likely the cold front is coming down from Scandinavia, we had a light freeze two days ago, but now it's back to "normal".

Thanks man. At the way my field has been fruiting recently, I'm beginning to think 200g+ dry weight is more than achievable with some added time and effort out in the fields.
As for long term storage, I've got all my dried libs sealed away in lock tight jars with some Selica packs to avoid any added moisture. The jars are then stored out of direct light in the back of some cupboards for longevity.

As promised, here are some pictures from yesterday's hunt.
With it being nice and sunny, I had plenty opportunity to be taking pictures, but with me being the twat that that I am, I somehow mistakenly was taking short video reels instead of pics without ever noticing until the last leg of the hunt - D'oh! 
Here's a few pics of another successful hunt. My field has been littered with shrooms. It took around 4 to 5 hours yesterday to pick absolutely everything in the pics you see below.




The total wait wet was roughly 480g.
This pic below made me laugh. After the hunt, I needed to pick up Newspapers to dry everything out on. While grabbing papers, I seen this on the front cover of a crappy paper which I found pretty funny considering I was buying papers for the sole purpose of drying out Shrooms. 

My next hunt will be on Friday if the weather holds up. It's certainly getting colder so I'm not sure how many more hunts I'll have in the coming weeks.
Happy hunting folks!

Nice haul generix, love the newspaper clip Holly quit to get on shrooms. After what she's been through she might need a good trip .
I Myself had a look out today in my local spot , it is always late to fruit but had time to myself so thought why not . 15min drive from home I parked up, hopped the fence into the farmers field which has access via a public footpath. Notice the cows were a bit on edge for some reason then noticed a load of calves and a few angry looking mothers .
I must have startled a few of the calves and the next thing I knew there was a bit of a situation brewing. At this point I knew it was time to go , abandon my efforts but they had blocked my route back to the car. Ended up having hop over the gate into another field and walk the other direction taking me around a hour walking a loop through fields and Footpaths to get back to my car . Not a single lib found but made it home safely in the end .

Someone on here said dry them then freeze them, so I tried it. They lost potency and disintegrated. Much better to just dry them and store them in the dark.

Yikes! That sounds like a pretty close call. After all these years out hunting, I try my best now to avoid fields where sheep, but more expecially, where cows and bulls are grazing. They can become a real nuisance, and Farmers can be on hyper alert because their concerned about their livestock. Not only that, but heavier animals like cows and bulls dig up the earth far more than sheep when their moving around. This disturbs the land and doesn't give libs as good an opportunity to fruit.
Next time around, I'd suggest exploring a little further and see if you can find fields where there are no animals. This makes your whole picking expedition all the more enjoyable as you can relax without having to look over your shoulder every five minutes.

It's rare that I ever freeze drugs. It certainly works as long as whoever stores them away does everything perfectly right. Otherwise, situations arise like the one you experienced where they disintegrate the minute they're out the freeze, especially a fungus like shrooms.
For pure peace of mind, I store them away in sealed containers and keep them out of direct sunlight. Will they lose potency over time? I'm sure they will depending on how long I keep them there. Will they drop so much potency that they become worthless? No not at all. The drop will be nothing worth being concerned over.
