Libs In Newfoundland!?

I am from Newfoundland, Canada. As some of you know the only thing we have here are Liberty Caps. The problem is I'm having no luck finding any EVER, in my town the surrounding towns have lots of them but no luck here. Now most of my friends pick them on other people lawns and i don't want to do that. there aren't many fields here and there are no places with cows.
If any newfies here have any tips or could help me it would be appreciated. Do you guys ever find them in the woods? only in grass planted by people, or wild grass in wooded areas.?

I havn't looked yet..but many seasons i have had no success. I see you are from newfoundland...can they be found in the woods where there is no grass? or natural grass that wasn't planted?

woods = 
you can find a few scattered in parks and other grassy fields, but your best bet is always to find a pasture or farmland and give it a browse

Yeah it seems that the images isn't working right, i'll try and fix that later.
And yes, i was gonna research before baking..and i found out i shouldn't so i won't , but i read i should make the brownies but just add the mushrooms to the fudge and coat the top.
But they are not dry...is there a quick way to dry them without harming them...like if i sit them next to a wood stove for a while..i'm quessing that would maybe destroy them chemicals too

better to air dry them slowly and at as cooler temp as possible, but drying them for consumption isnt necessary at all...

great to hear about your finds.
hope the brownies work out good. in my opinion, you'd be best to put generous amounts of mushroom on each brownie, as your stomach may be less than friendly if you have to stuff down three or so brownies right before your trip

i'm in st. john's, haven't had much luck so far. picked about 70 shrooms all year. my normal fields has been picked to death and abused the past few years, and no one likes sharing their locations with me. too bad.
