That's definitely cold enough for normal libs, but the question is if ours are different enough to prefer closer to freezing. It'll be interesting to see how the rest of the season goes, and if they do indeed come out when temps drop more. It's been much drier too, which can't help. Winter chanterelles are a good find though!

My side the islands been non stop rain,

Looking out window of work right now there's showers going on w 11°c temps outside and this morning was on and off im gonna be running around some nearby fields in the city again in hopes there's a local spot I can check each year :grin:

I really do feel like our liberties are adapted to the cold climate, everything I read up on semilanceata within newfoundland seems to have the heavier harvests of the season happen late October into early November

Still hope yet and aint nothing gonna stop me until the snow starts coming down

Today's hunting locations

No luck though :frown:

Hopefully after the temps start dropping and frost starts up a little stronger we start getting our season :grin:

Along with a couple of other fields that were once farms it had animals grazing are now just empty fields that sometimes has horse

I don't see why I wouldn't find any here, only conclusion I can make is it's not it's time yet

Not enough yellow grass would be my guess, that's what they feed on so it's less common to find them in an area absent of that. Most pics of libs I see you can see the yellow grass all around where they're growing, even if it's only just some mixed with healthy grass.

Ended up raining a lot more today so I'm heading out tomorrow morning. Hasn't been much rain lately before this, so could be exactly what's needed to kickstart the season.

i agree that those fields don’t look like where i would expect to find libs. in my experience you want to see this grass ideally, tho it’s not a must it is definitely a good sign

Don't worry these fields were huge, the bright green was only the beginning here :grin:

along the sides and in other less kept fields further, it starts getting much more yellow I just snapped these couple at the start of my venture

The spot I'm to looking here is where my father found his " shroomies " back in his day but still nothing came about

Couple more spots I was too, wish I snapped a few of the spots of grass I was checking

If it was low and green, leave it be

High and yellow, get down low

The rain has been scattered but lots here on the west this week at least once a day there'd be rainfall over the last week so definitely not to dry for them over this way lol maybe was just too wet yesterday?

I just want to find at least one to get a full understanding of their habitat and growth all this research saying it can grow on decaying grass but is there a particular kind it likes lolo :confused:

The other thing to keep in mind is that even if conditions are perfect somewhere, it's still not guaranteed that some liberty cap spores travelled through the wind that way and settled there. This is what makes it a bit more needle in a haystack-y, imo.

How was the town I went to a spot for them once upon a time and is now all dried up? I'm going back today no rain all sun and was near frost last night

There's no way the town as a whole got picked dry right??

I don't know, I sure hope not. It's entirely possible they'll pop up later the season, too. We can play god a bit, and put spores in a water gun, or liquid culture to be even more effective. This can help them get new growth in those places again if they did get picked to death.

I went out today and didn't find a single mushroom, really unsure where to go that's actually got a good shot of producing that isn't just entirely private property. I'm worried this season will pass me by before I find somewhere good.

Don't fret buddy! It's part of the experience

Our research this year will do us good into the next season:grin: and our dedication should pay off

It really does seem like the season is around but extremely scarce until our temperatures start dropping some more for it to really kick start

I was out again today and didn't find a single one either :frown:( maybe tonight or tomorrow I'll step out for a search in different spot but like i said nothings gonna stop me until the snow starts dropping, sure it's disappointing coming home empty handed but its still nice getting out and hopefully someday I'm coming back home with atleast a trips worth, would love to go spreading spores everywhere but I can't even find one bugger for a print :rolleyes:

I'm predicting that once we get the next good frost they'll be everywhere

But at least it's giving me more experience in finding mushrooms in general I need to get a good newfoundland book for local species and IDs if you or anyone has any recommendation

Can't help you there buddy, I'm out western

((wish someone out my side would comment into this post, all the bhys are out Avalon hahah))

Seems like our season this year's gonna be a short one between full-tilt growing and snowfall

I've been out just about every chance I gets as well, searching low and far and afaik theyre 'here' but seems like a lot of hunters are having trouble with searching early this year

Seems like you gotta already know some heavy producing areas to get some right now

Found a patch of these guys on my morning walk

I know they aren't p. Semilanceata but am curious as to what they are and would this be a similar habitat/way of growing to where I could potentially find some?

This was just a normal nature walk along a heavily wooded trail so definitely doubt I'd find any that way I was just out for a walk before work :grin:

Good luck buddy! If you find some take lots of pictures we need some more examples of successful habitat types you can find them in here in NL

People are finding them on the Avalon, seems to mainly or even exclusively be on grazed farmland though. Nobody is willing to share much info but unfortunately the only real promising spots I can think of require trespassing.
