I live in Scotland so plenty of greenspace but not sure how shroom friendly it is.
I've never hunted so I've no idea. I'd probably just wuss out and purchase shrooms for my first time. I love the idea of picking them though. Maybe I'll spend some time versing myself with identification and location and then go on a mad wee shroom hunt.

Aw thanks for the advice. Looking forward to it. I've heard October is peak time over here, but I'll google before my search.
mmmmhhmm and you are........a smartass......ofcourse im not gonna eat these after 1 person has said yes and givin me the go ahead i study the shit out of the subject as much as i can behind a computer.then once i have the shrooms ima do a spore print (i got pretty much brown spores off mine)make sure all the gill colors match up and look out for other things i could use in a ID....im not planning on eating these until i have had like 3 experienced pickers verify them for me...fucking WOW, you are going to kill yourself or others at this rate
Please be careful man, 'cubes' don't grow on wood. Psilocybe Subaeruginosa is the mushroom you are probably looking for, but they don't grow on wood. They grow in and around woodlands, woodchips, things like that, but generally not directly out of a piece of wood (log, fallen tree etc). There are many lookalikes that do though, some are deadly, and my area currently has thousands of very convincing lookalikes growing out of wood left right and centre. Go to Shroomery and get your find ID'd before consuming.
Dude are you seriously joking?! How are you even qualified to go shroom picking if you don't even know the bloody name of the mushrooms?! Thats kinda the first thing you learn.... I am seriously hoping you haven't gone and poisoned yourself but honestly mate even if you don't poison anyone you have been on here long enough you should know to thoroughly research before you pick, obviously you didn't bother...
jesus i fucked up....
jesus i fucked up...i do know the names of them thank you very much. my brain wasnt functioning at its fullest when i posted that so chill dude chill.......u should know i've been on here long enough to not just pick and eat and or go out in the feild without any research what so ever........i was with a experienced picker but hes used to ID'ing cubes (the ones that grow out of cow shit) so his ID attempt is pretty much usless hence why im trying to gather up as much info online as i can before taking a few to a doof and meet up with some people that have gone picking heaps of times and/or grow there own to give me the go ahead.....even then ill be a bit worried.also for ur last little smart ass statement. i've been researching mushrooms for 3-4 years (out of curiosity and for a horticulture course) i just havnt bothered going out picking so excuses me if i got my names mixed up.....treat other members with respect obviously you didn't bother...
Found a few gold tops / cubes near Byron today
cant have done much research if you thought you were looking for cubes
