Alright guys. was a bit tired of seeing only US peeps on the forum so decided to sign up and post as its approaching the season. Anyone in the UK found any Liberty caps yet?I'm in Lincoln, East Midlands, and they've JUST started to come up. Would be nice to hear from some fellow Brits. First liberty cap find of the year in the pic below cheers - alex [image]http://TheNoizeProphet.overgrow.com/view/nipple.jpg [/image] [image]http://TheNoizeProphet.overgrow.com/view/nipple2-copy.jpg [/image]

Hi . There is a topic somewhere, can't remember who started it, but they found liberties quite a while ago. Mid July, or something crazy like that... I keep looking, and find loads and loads of cool looking fungi (including some GREAT edibles ), but no liberties around here that I can find. I don't have a known spot, so I'm not really sure where to look, but I'm sure I'll find some soon enough! I think next year I'm going to start some azures, so I don't have to try to find wild patches. Although I bet picking them wild is kinda fun...

I found a couple on Tuesday here in Northern Ireland but havent been out since, will likely take a dander tommorow as it's wet here right now. I was quite lucky to find a great field close to my home last year, most of the fields in the area have quite bad ground and are over farmed because we're up in the hills.
How do you think the season will go this year after the summer? I see the farmers can't harvest the crops because the grounds too wet, is this good shroom conditions? I thought it was too warm to be finding them this early last year I hadnt spotted any untill about the 10th of September.

Hi guys, I live in Fife, Scotland and I am going hunting tomorrow. As a rule I don't normally go before the 14th as I have wasted many hours in the past going out too early, but there has been so much rain recently I am confident of getting a result. Hopefully I will have some good news to post soon. Havent had a blast for a few years and looking forward to getting back in the saddle :-)

Theres a few fields near me that i havent checked before, varied length of grass, used by sheep, no fertilizers etc. are they very likely to pop up there? anyone know of any other active mushrooms that are in season in the UK at the moment?

Psilocybe cyanescens, (wavy caps) can be found in mulch at this time of year, they're quite potenet but not as common on liberties I don't think.

It was me openminded that found Liberties in july! http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat-Number-2931385.html Found a few since but it has been way too wet, the fields are all waterlogged. I think it will be a very good year if the weather settles down a bit.

I found a good few in mid/late july after some rainy weather then many many more from August onwards. I was curious to know if anyone else has noted the potency this autumn? These were by far the most potent I've had here in scotland in the last 3 or 4 years..... we made vegicaps with them :P The stems of these stained the most deep shade of blue I have seen
