well well well, tis the season to be jolly

im gonna be heading out for my first picking mission of the year tomorrow. Ive not been picking for a 5/6 years and im very excited to get some tasty little Liberty Caps again after so long.

So UK Nexians, has anyone had any successful picking days so far this year?

I wish I knew a 'patch'.
I going to have to do some real searching around here...
Perfect weather for it...Yay!

fortunately i live in the same area that i always have, so i have got a couple of old patchs that i used to go to as a youth to check out. i live in a pretty rural area and there are green fields as far as i can see, so there are lots of new patchs just waiting to be discovered.

Octobers weekends are now accounted for.

I live in the scandinavia, but tomorrow I'll be heading out for a mission too. I already tried a few weeks ago but I think it was too early and warm. But now the weathers are colder and it's been raining alot.. Perfect occasion to go play hide-and-seek with liberty caps and amanitas! I wish lots of good luck to everyone else too..

good luck to you as well daedaloops

I'm in the US but tis the season here as well, hope you don't mind me butting in, but this is my first year that I will get a chance to find some.

I found my first psilocybes the other day. 3 dried grams of P. Stuntzii Hoping to find some libs or cyanescens as well. Good luck friends!

my uni campus is in the perfect spot, animals, hills, long grass. gonna check early next week

Ok..went out to cut the grass and this little fella was sitting all alone..

Sure looks like a cube to me....no visible frill though

Plenty blue (photos don't do it justice)

Could I get an ID plz..?

psilocybe azurescens ??

^no, nor is it a cube.

I found my first liberty cap(s) today!

Mind you I'm in Germany, so you should definately find some up where you are...

Check out these pics, aren't they gorgeous?

There's so many psyilocybin shroom varieties the mind boggles. Do some google research my friend. They may well even be liberty caps. Sometimes shrooms can be deceptive when identifying, crafty critters!!

Put it like this, if there's plenty of these then collect them and THEN get them checked. If it's a few, leave them, ignore them, they are probably bunk. When shrooms are abound, there's usually plenty of them.... plenty....

- So far possible lib caps, azurens.....

Hmmm..def not a Lib...I know my way around them...

Just very curious as I've never seen a Blue shroom in these parts before (UK).
Looked just like a small Golden Teacher that I know and love from OZ..except for the gills...

Thanks for the input christian

Could be a possible Psilocybe caerulipes, aka, blue foot.

some of the google images results look similar, some completely different.




proceed with caution

Definatly not a liberty cap or an azurescen. Azures are woodlovers for one..and they look nothing like that. They have carmel caps for one which is a dead giveaway that that that mushroom there is not an azure..

MMM, true.. probably best to dump them, a la harm reduction', boys!!

no..it looks like a psilocybe for sure..but it should be properly ID'd and a print should be taken.

Going to print it overnight now...

Here's the print...
I've no idea how to interpret them...
Reddy Brown in colour

You should make a post @ the shroomery. There are a lot of talented identifiers over there.

You could also check paul stamets "psilocybin mushrooms of the world", here's an online copy:

Maybe they are psilocybe caerulea...
