Well, I'd never spotted any in my garden until the year after I took some from my dad's old garden and stamped them around my lawn. I'm currently getting 20 - 40 a year in my garden - not loads, but enough for 2 or 3 light trips (which I prefer).

40 is half a light trip. How you can get 3 light trips out of 20 is beyond me.

I have a (fucking hippy) mate who reckons he can have a good time off 8 shrooms.

PISSING down overnight here and all morning, and been some cold nights too, I reckon this coming week should see the start of it.
 
40 is HALF a light trip? Oh piss off - how much do you weigh though? I can have a good time off 12 libs - no particularly visual - slight shifts and ethereal effects, but I get a come up that is noticeable and exciting.

I personally like taking around 30 for going out in public, and 60 - 100 for being around a good group of friends...anywhere between 12 and 200 by myself.

Hahahah fucking good effort brother!! I will give that a try when an abundance of liberty caps come into my possession
 
Apparently we've had a months worth of rain here in the south in the past 48 hours, so I'm pretty optimistic about finding some this year. :)
 
Reports showing that libs are starting to be found widely across the uk now, even some finds in the south, with good numbers further north particularly at altitude.
Wish I could get out there this week, but no chance.

40 is a light trip i would say, 80 is quite heavy imo. It does seem a bit odd tho that you can have a good time from only 12? but still take up to 200 on your own. I've never heard of pepole taking as little as 12 before, basically everyone i know that takes them does 50 at a time but make them into tea.
 
^ So people don't dose via weight but rather quantity? Does anything different happen if you dry them like loss of potency etc? That's what I'd do for preservation reasons. The ones in Dam had weird mould growing on them because they were sold wet.

I mean 10 - 15 is a light trip for me. That's where I get wavering wallpaper. The one time I upped it to 40 it got too psychological and I ended up having to think about stuff I didn't want to.

You might expect to lose about 10% if they're dried carefully, more if not. It's as easy to count as it is to weigh. They're generally speaking so uniform in size that even allowing for variation in strength counting 30, 50, 100 into your hand is about as accurate a way of measuring a dose out as weighing with experience.

I wouldn't quite agree with that. From previous pickings i've noticed they vary in size quite considerably, and that's excluding the ones that aren't fully grown.

95% of a liberty cap is water so you might as well just dry them out and weigh them accurately. Less chance of fuck ups that way.
 
Some strange views on what constitutes a worthwhile dose of mushrooms in here... Try harder next time! :p

...Also, nothing but rain up here for ages. Not finding much at all. Usually picked enough to last the entire year by now, but already consumed the meager amount acquired over a weekend. Starting to worry a bit!
 
If I have no tolerance, I enjoy a mid week visit to the pub for a few beers on 10 to15 mushrooms round here most people take 30 for their inaugural trip of the season.

Yeah, I was being very general but yeah of course you'd allow for variation in size etc when you're counting but again with experience you'd know how to adjust for that. Counting's still as easy and roughly accurate as weighing with practice.
 
You can assume that there is an average weight for libs and consequently that 30 counted mushrooms weighed and divided by 30 will cone to within a very tight tolerance of that average weight.

However mushrooms don't dry out evenly, you will have coarse vegative matter and also a very fine powder that is far more potent by weight and because of this I have always found dosing dried by weight more problematic than fresh by the count. I ought to say that when you dry by the thousands you end up with a semi powdered preparation from scraping them of the drying surface rather and from the need to reduce the bulk than with dry discrete specimens.
 
Moved down south cos of uni and I don't know of any fields I can count on down here, so I feel like I'm gonna have to spend a long time traipsing through fields to strike gold. Is it true that the shrooms start to pop out later down south than they do up north? Cos my mates from back up North are starting to find mushies whereas I ain't found shit yet :(
 
in reguards to taking them wet and counting how many you take vs drying and weighing them.. i found drying them and eating 1 dried gram does the trick for me. nice n visual but not too overwhelming but dont forget everyone is different. Im yet to find anything but il have a look on friday as the weather seems to be perfect!
 
Taking the day off college and going picking tomoro .. Whats the best way to dry em ? last year i just laid them out on a sheet of paper with a desk lamp over them ... Seemed to work at the drying them but alas they were duds but thats a different story :p
 
An hour spent high up in the hills in Wales today gave me 140 grams of wet libs, should dry out to about 14 grams I reckon. Best session so far this year.
The ground is so wet after all the recent rain that I only really found numbers of them on raised areas or on steep slopes, where the ground isn't soaked.
This was up around 1000 feet up, I've found nothing below 700 feet yet this year, and i expect to find them down to 500 feet by this time of year.
It's been hard work, most of the caps are small, even though I'm giving them plenty of time to mature, by not visiting my spots more than once a week.
I always dose by weight rather than numbers, and find 1.5 to 2 grams to be fun but easily manageable. I generally find that the early season caps are a bit stronger than those I find towards the back end, but I guess it might be that early on I'm taking fresher ones, rather than ones that have been dried and stored for 7 or 8 months.
