Aha, my hunts last season(my first ever) yeilded under 100 grams dry powdered libs.
And i have access to only 1 spot of which is less than 2 acres Maybe we should go hunting together sometime.
P.S, i remember the big bottle of whisky and the note to the farmer with the bag of mushrooms

for my money, the biggest limit to semie hauls is the time you're willing to spend picking the little guys.

aah yes the season has well and truely started my friends.
These are the two harvests i've managed in my two expeditions this year so far..


unfortunately, like uarewotueat, i also have to endure a 115 mile round trip to get there!.. But on the positive side, i'd say my spot on the moors compares in terms of natural beauty... it's a large valley with a quaint little river running through it. Theres even an ancient stone bridge there to help you cross it!... but best of all the place is heaving with quality libs!
BTW, have you seen the rain today!! it's hammering it down all day in yorkshire, so i reckon my next trip out should be a proper haul.

perhaps man, perhaps... 100g dry is good going, theres not many people about that have the patience to collect that many! as canid said, its a patience/will power thing

yeah i was going to go out shooting today, but the rain has stopped play... im more than happy to see that its pissing it down though... should bring the little fellows out in force for the weekend! 
theres some cool ancient sites up where i pick too... like this stone circle... 5500 years old if wot i have read is to be believed...


its not close enough to my main spot to give away the location though 
the rest of the circles in the peaks are swarming with tourists, but this one has no path or signs, i usually take a walk over to it after my days hunting and chill for a while, never seen anyone else up there...

 i didnt ask him actually... so far this year our conversation has been a passing "now then" i doubt he ever tried them though, he has had access to them for 25+ years and never tried them before... but his son showed alot of interest last year, kept coming over to me with a handful of mushrooms and asking if they were the right ones... so maybe he ate them lol

that's probably not far off the truth, and that place is fabulous. To me, it makes the mushrooms seem that bit more special when they are from such isolated, beautiful places.


i need to take a better camera in the future i think.

Nice finds solarhelix!

have u had a look on the common yet?
I have looked on both, although i think the South common is too overgrown in most places with only a few horses on it nowadays. I have also found some decent looking fields about which i think have more potential than the over picked commons. Loads of rain today

all of my south facing sloped fields arnt producing.. getting too much sunlight im guessing so they dry out faster. But the one north facing field IS producing.. ALOT.. more than ever before

I have a feeling its the warm weather we are having that is helping the budding on the plateaus and on the northern slopes. The rain we had today will have them out like peas in a pod or is it shrooms in a bog... lol.

Hopefully I can find a few more other hunting areas this season.
Ill defo go and get a nice haul from my spot and then move on and see if i can find any other fruiting fields .
My spots are about 45mins to an hour walk away. In a car its 5 minutes tops . And on my motorbike. 3 minutes :P
Im hoping they pop up this week, so on the weekend there are a few decent mature fruits .
