Mushroom Season 2011 UK / Ireland / Anywhere else

Hi everyone, I've been picking a few times in the past, quite a while ago to be honest and I can't remember where we went so I'm going to venture out and see if I can find some, does the season last right through now til October time or is there only a specific window of time that they come out in?? Basically do you have to keep checking or will they come out at different times throughout these months?? Cheers
 
Thought I'd try my luck and went for a wonder today. All was looking good, and there's still obviously very little footfall through the field, as all the stiles I climbed over were totally surrounded in nettles, with no obvious walking tracks through them, so yay for that.



then it started looking like it was gonna piss down ... aaaand within about 10 minutes this sky of doom made its way over to me, and thank fuck I brought a raincoat. not very sexy, but it served its purpose.


felt like i was being stalked half the time too ... uber friendly and nosey sheep as always tho


was definitely worth going to take a looksee today, and I can't say I was even looking real hard, since Giles was ploughing one of the fields nearby, which overlooks the whole of the field I was walking in. I didnt want to bring too much attention to myself, and just mainly took photos



naturally I left these in the field, cos bringing them home would be illegal. these were uprooted by the sheep, honest.


and since its still pissing down right now, the next few weeks are gonna be very fruitful, I recon

hahaha that was funny mate ^ 'here theres 2 people up there......wait....they have a bag and are looking at the ground, HEY WE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!'

yeah man that was funny as hell. my mate was like "shhh, who is that over there?... ITS MORE PICKERS!.. hold on, i know him!" i havnt weighed mine yet, gna wait till they are dry.
 
I think they dry down to about 10%.....

an eighth is a nice dose......

Might have a look tomorrow, day off work, been raining alll week, temps dropping, and now I've got a dog I can at least appear a bit more legitimate. Scouting round the ground with me poo bag looking for a miniature dogturd.

Got "caught " by a farmer a couple of years ago, asked me what I was doing, I just told him, "picking magic mushrooms, your field is always good for them" He looked at me and asked me what they do! Then he said there'd been a load of yobs/louts/hooligans/pikies, can't remember how he'd described them, upin his field the previous week, dropping litter, shouting, but as I seemed okay he wouldn't mind me picking there if I wanted, as long as I didn't tell loads of people and take me mates up etc
 
best way to dry them? i live with my parents so they cant be in the open :/ currently, i have them spaced out in a shoe box under my sofa.
 
Finishing early tomorrow and going out hunting. Will be take the dog, man with dog bending down to put something in a carrier bag, whats odd about that? :)
 
No, I reckon on 10% of wet weight, but so many variables....did you pick the shrroms early and wet, or was it afternnoon and they quite dry...

The 10% is very variable...you should end up with 4-6 grams (and if they were fairly dry when you picked them maybe more!) from 45g wet, but there is no real way of knowing till they dry.

I think i used to reckon on an eighth of dried shrooms for a good trip.

I used to collect a LOT. dried them and broke off the dried caps, they can easily be swallowed with a drink like tiny pills, also seemed to get less stomach problems like this, i think a lot of the tummy pain is from the stems, all the cowshit and soil on them, dunno....

The stems I used to soak in alcohol, turkish raki was my favourite, for a couple of days at least, longer the better, keep mashing it up now and then, filter it, and you've got the most amazing concoction, the alcohol is good solvent for the active ingrediemts, and it hits you very very fast indeed, turkish rake too was my choise as it so strong flavoured......stems of about 2000 dried shrooms per bottle of raki, the last one i did was 1500 whole shrooms, caps and stems, but numbers are not ery accurate as shrooms vary so much in size, that's why i think it important to find your favourite dose based on weight, not number of shrooms.....
 
well ive 45g wet, 10% means 4.5g dry give or take, ive to split that with a mate so 2.2 say, recon we will get a decent trip from them? will it be strong, weak or inbetween?
going back either this afternoon or tomorrow to see if more have appeared, how long should i be going back to check when new ones appear? eg. how long do they take to grow again after being picked?
 
right got 8g dry from that 45g wet which is pretty good considering i thought it would amount to 4.5g just, a good wee surprise for the morning, me and a mate are gonna munch 4g each on friday, ive heard libs are different from cubensis when it comes to visuals and body load, how are they different? more melty walls and less reality kinda thing? if so i cant wait :D
 
Personally, 2g for me is a starting point and the weaker kind of trip. Enough to give an awesome body buzz, as well as coat your visuals with something beautiful, and make you smile like crazy. Everyone's gonna recommend different amounts based on their experiences tho. if youre just doing them on their own, without anything else, 2gm will definitely give you a decent trip, and you'll be able to go about your business still and function fairly normally and get away with not looking like youre totally spazzed to other people around you.

if you want a deeper, heavier mind/visual experience, where you can have the above at first, then totally zone out into your own head for a couple of hours, taking yourself off to wherever you want to go, then I'd personally go for taking 4gms each .... once things start to get lighter after a 2-4 hrs, you'll still feel it for a number of hrs and music/movies/chatting is nice

I tend to go for either 2g, or 6g now, depending if I actually wanna trip properly [6], or if I just wanna feel an awesome body/mind buzz as I go a about doing whatever Id planned to do that night, with the addition of adding some cool visual decoration to whatevers in my vacinity.

[edit]. just saw your new post. 4gs = perfect. hope you have a good one
 
I grew some mexican cubensis once, outta the kits King Bong used to send for about 15 quid when it was legal in the UK.

I think I liked them more than libs tbh.

My experience with different kinds of visuals. [and i recon it poss applies to most shrooms], is that wet for some reason provides a much more animated visual trip, than when theyre dry. Cubensis were almost of the Yellow Submarine variety, which was pretty kick-ass. Mexican Cubensis and liberties both are better visually when wet tho definitely

Dry, shrooms generally are tighter visually and not as intense, but mind engagement isn't really affect. maybe just a longer delay in how long it takes to come on.

I'll do my first trip of this Lib season with 10g of wet, freshly picked.

Most people seem to take dry, but i think thats more to do with how theyre supplied and how everybodys become accustomed to taking em.

If you get the opportunity, try em wet and compare your trips.

Also, you may find the weight of the ones you just dried changes between now and friday, because in my experience, it takes more than a day to fully dry them - normally 3 to really dry em out imo
 
8g from 45g sounds a little bit too much, are they cracker dry? do they bend or snap when you apply force?

I'd leave them drying a little longer and i reckon that will got down a gram or 2 at least. I can't get them fully dry in 24 hours even when having a fan trained on them over a gauze in a bowl filled with desiccant.
 
I *doubt* they are completely dry matt, like watson says....but must be not far off if you think they are dry..

I always like to underestimate yields of anything, so 10% is the figure I use, and any more is a bonus.

IF you picked the shrooms late in the afternoon, on drying ground, and the sun had beeen on them all day, and the caps were very light/cream colour, then perhaps 8g is possible, but if the ground was wet, the caps still slimy etc, then there's prob a litlle bit of moisture remaining, not really a prob, you're not planning on storing them y the sounds of it ;)

Like I said before 3.5g was our standard "going out" dose, with pills and wizz as well, trippy, but not overwhelming, it depends on you though very much with any psych it's def YMMV, well, any drug at all really, even alcohol....how do you advise someone how much they should have to drink if they are off down the pub, I'd tell them 4 pints of weak bitter is MORE than enough, others here would tellyou to start off with a 4 pack of Tennents Super, and a few shorts before you even leave the house.

And totally agree with marmalade, the first pick of any season was always eaten wet, and does seem very different in feel, I couldn't quantify in what way, but Marmalade just has anyway.

One thing, don't make tea with themI dunno why people do that.....got a few mates swear by it horrid shit, and just seems to dull the experience IMO, a waste of shrooms....lol, I know there'll be a lot of dissenters to this =D

Depends a lot on the variety of shroom and its psilocin / psilocybin ratio as to whether there'll be a massive difference between wet and dry. Psilocin will degrade quickly during the drying process and psilocybin won't. That's what causes any subjective difference between the effects of wet and dry shrooms.

The reason Liberty Caps are a good mushroom for drying is they're much higher in psilocybin than psilocin, so very little potency is lost when you dry them. If the reverse were true then it'd mean... well, the reverse.

Oh yes thats what someone said i know, that the mexican cubensis ones are great for a nice happy trip.

I wonder if the liberty caps would grow near where horses graze and poop?
 
has anyone got advice for getting rid of/proventing maggots? just less than a 1/4 of mine had maggots in the caps which really pissed me off. im sure they cant do me too much harm but i dont fancy eating maggots obviously!
