Liberty caps in Denmark

Just wondering if any of the Danish members with mushroom hunting experience can give me any tips? Most of the fields I've found with animals in are surrounded by electric fences, and outside those fields the grass is too long. And the animals are mostly cows and horses, I'm more comfortable with sheep :) Maybe I should just go early and jump the fence?

And what about the season? It seems a bit too warm still, though it's really wet, and people have been finding them in the UK already, maybe it's at higher altitude though, and there's no altitude here :)
 
1) The vast tracts of land that the nobility usually opens up for the public. There are fences at some of them most likely. Estimate whether jumping them is worth it.

2) psychedelia.dk if you speak Danish. The Danish equivalent to bluelight. I don't think there are any specific topics on good spots at the moment, but I wouldn't be surprised if you'd be able to glean some useful information from there.

3) Regarding animals: the fields I've been most successful with didn't have animals when I went there. They probably shift them around during different times of the year. Traces of animal manure will probably be a good indicator as well.

On a side note, if you aren't Danish, it might be a good idea to confer a book about the mushrooms in Denmark. I know that at least one of them ((Panaeolus papilionaceus; almindelig glanshat in Danish) looks so much like a liberty cap that I wouldn't be able to tell them apart (luckily, my friends can).

Happy hunting!
 
Great tips, thanks a lot! :D Yeah I've looked on psychedelia.dk before, I should probably keep checking it now the seasons coming up/here. The Panaeolus look pretty different, IMO, in cases where they do look similar the straight, dark coloured stems are a dead giveaway. It's very common to find them in the same habitat in the UK too.
 
Yeah, it´s definitely too early. In one month there will be some, or even later. Some people say it´s best just before the first nightfrost.

About spots, golf courses are really great, there´s one inside Dyrehaven and also one in Kokkedal, a few stops further with the train.
The problem with golf courses though, is that the golfers get annoyed with the mushrooms pickers. Understandably. getting up and out there really early in the morning might be a good idea :)
 
lol, sorry, off course it's Dyrehaven and not Dyrehavsbakken. They don't grow in the amusement-park

And yes, go to the golf-course
