I did this last weekend. Just tell them you are doing a Biology project. The most I got was some annoying cross examining.

"hah you squeabs gotta deal with guns, thier illegal here"
Dude i don't know what your smokin, only handguns are illegal in canada. I've lived in Ontario in the country my whole life and have known many farmers ALL of whom posess rifles. I myself own 7 hunting rifles. How would a farmer "put down" an injured animal without one?. Also MANY people possess handguns here illegally w/o a permit.

Ide also like to ask how many of you have tryed the mycology student/edible mushroom thing? Probably none... Find a field that doesnt have a farmer on it...
I use that line multiple times in a hunt. Works every time. But, i hunt in landscaping beds in urban area, People allways come out of their buildings and are like, "WTF are you doing?"
i allways tell them, "Im a mycology student doing research into the growth patterns of certain fungi that grow in man made habitats". I tell them im just taking pictures of mushrooms. Only once was i asked to leave. A couple times i was offered a cup of coffee

I don't lie. I just don't tell them everything.
I tell them I am an amateur mycologist who collects and studies mushrooms, with a particular interest in the edibles. People always ask what school I'm affiliated with, and I tell them that I am not, and that this is my hobby.
Most of them ask about actives... What's funny, is that they are usually these really uptight looking squares, but then they say "Find any of the hallucinogenic kind?? Those are the ones I like!"
I've never been asked to leave, though I have been invited into the back yard to look for more mushrooms!

Butter up the farmer.Give him a jar of honey, a gift card or do some work around the farm. Farming, is not the richest job out there.A cow or other livestock, is a lot of money to loose.

What would be smart is to find what edible mushrooms grow out of cow poo and bring pictures of that mushroom growing out of poo and say you're searching for that mushroom and that if you found some you would cook him a meal or something along those lines. I would think the more specific and well informed you look, the better your chances are.

I dont think edibles grow out of poop... If you talk about mushrooms and cow poop in texas theres only one thing your talking about and everyone from kids to mothers to fathers know what it is... Even grandparents know what mushrooms are =-O

a lot of people forget that. the livestock are usualy what the farmer is most concerned about. they are expensive and constitute a serious invensment of the farmer's livlihood. he or she doesn't want the cows getting loose and will often be just generaly sketchy about having strangers on his land where they are kept. horses all the more so as owners tend to have personal bonds with them.

you can fed the farmer with huge balls of calvatia if you find some, with tons of paneolus antillarum or agaricus sp, if you are close to the woods you can find even more,and more

I actually work for mutiple farmers. One thing I don't see mentioned is the SUPER religous farmers that are more concerned for your own well being than theirs. They would turn you in thinking they are doing you a favor. At least some around here.

If I was a farmer, I wouldn't let anyone come onto my property to pick active mushrooms. Considering the potential liability, it would be foolish to do otherwise.

The misconception around here is the harmful ones ARE the Ps.
Same area where Grass is tought in schools to be just as harmful as Herion. And Evolution in school is banned.
