Also, Psilocybe semilanceata tends to grow only as tall as the grass it grows from. Sooo The mushroom are likely to be shorter when they do grow.
Also, The long grass both aids in holding moisture in the soil, as well as shading growing mushrooms from direct sun. So unless it's really rainy and over cast, I would expect to find less mushrooms for a while.

yeah it will recover  ...so long as the grass is allowed to grow back... the field i first found libs in was fucked by the farmer 2 seasons ago and now its only just starting to fruit well again... just look in the fields in the surrounding area.

Sure mycelium is underground and the mushrooms will continue to grow. If they continue to mow that field, they will continue to get chopped down and ruined.
If this is a once in a great while mowing of that area, then you can probably still find some at reduced numbers, if it is more frequent mowing, find a new area.

i dont think they will keep moving it. they tend to mow it once now and once right before winter, or in my case they keep some snow on to keep the snowmobile damage down.
they spread a shit load of spores, wait until the grass is high enough, you should be able to tell when its good again. around the time it looks like it could use a mowing and a little before that. go out there and find gregarous amounts

First off, this is an old-ish thread, you probably should have started a new thread and asked the question.
What kind of mushrooms are you picking?
