Liberty Cap Mushroom Picking Psilocybe Semilanceata

[Thedreamisover1]

Where was this? I live in Washington state. Apparently we get quite a few liberties out here during fall and sometimes in spring. I'm a noob hunter, i'm gathering all the info I can on these little beauties before the season starts. We get cyanescens in abundance here too I guess.

[TateTrips]

@Thedreamisover1 Hi, this is Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire in the England.

[Thedreamisover1]

@TateTrips Oh! Wow! You get quite a few over there. Lucky! I know where I'm planning my next vacation.

[1ukjunglednbraver]

thats a good feild i pick but never really found such an abundance except for a few years back

[DOMAlN]

how was effect?, looking to get these online soon, not sure if I should wait till the mushroom growing season nov/oct (I think) or get online what would you suggest?

[TateTrips]

@700007123 I will send you a personal message.

[700007123]

Are those mushrooms illegal? And can you become addicted to them?

[thecsslife]

@700007123 They are illegal, and are not addictive.

[gomerrpm21]

why do you flick them before you pick them? is there a reason?

[TateTrips]

@gomerrpm21 Flick them to release the spores and nip them on the stem to leave the root in the ground. To encourage more growth.

[SkipjackEddie]

Nice video. And of course when the season is over, it's possible to mail order various interesting species of truffles and shrooms from enlightened foreign companies, or even grow your own for minimum effort, although I'm sure you knew this already :)

[TateTrips]

@SkipjackEddie Yeh Wholecelium have been good for me, incase anyone looking for a site. But i'm sticking to LSD at the moment, though gonna also try Bromo DragonFLY this week.

[SkipjackEddie]

@TateTrips Yeah I'm on that wavelength - we've been sourcing some seriously potent LSD from these lads around the Lake District these last few months, and I see no reason to discontinue :)

So to identify liberty caps, basically i look for a thin stalk, bell shaped cap, tan coloured and with a sort of nipple on the top? is that right?

[TateTrips]

@PaintKyZR Look at lots and lots of pictures first, take one with you picking if you can and start off only picking those that you are 100% sure are correct. When i started picking i found that once i'd found the right variety, i had no problems..However the colour of the mushrooms vary dependent on how dry/wet the day is, If you pick on a damp day with less sun, the Liberty Caps will be more brown and sticky, On a dry day, they will be more white/tan.....

[TateTrips]

@PaintKyZR ....One thing to note is the nipple of the mushrooms are tinged yellowish. Just look at lots of pictures and if in doubt post some pictures of your findings on the shroomery forums and some helpful people will help you to identify what you've picked! But finding liberty caps is pretty easy and fun!

[PaintKyZR]

@TateTrips Thanks for the tips, i checked out LOADS of pictures of them so i can identify them now :) the only problem is i don't know when the UK's mushrooms season is, you have any idea?

[TateTrips]

@PaintKyZR Yeh, unfortunately you've just missed it, the last i picked were in late october with a few stragglers in early november. A few can grow in spring, though not many, this season i found mushrooms as early as late June, the peak of the season was september for me. Where abouts in uk are you? If near leeds or london send me a PM.

[Drone357]

Found just one Liberty Cap today :(

[mmonsieurr]

is picking season over ?

[TateTrips]

@mmonsieurr is for me, actually the field in this video was a privately owned patch of land, when the owner caught on i was picking there, she extended the electric wire around the whole thing, mowed all the grass and put a no trespassing sign up... even though it wasn't even being used, lol.

[bta1992]

no not yet

we had a late season

[erkierkierki]

god, they are so beautiful! i recently found a field near my home with just a few specimens (found about 10). i flicked every one of them, so i should score higher next season, yes?

[tomastomas777]

but i prefer fresh mushrooms couse they more stronger.100 fresh mushrooms like 150 dried in effect.

in russia semilaceanta is most popular drug couse its free for all ;-)))

[tomastomas777]

In Russia i have got 4 spots of semilanceata near my house. every spot gives up to 3000 mushrooms in september .after good rains and after 3,4 days it gives over 3000 mushrooms again.From october to november there 300 - 400 mushrooms on every spot.so in september i do stocks for a year forward.

It is insulting that it is impossible to eat mushrooms every day becouse of tollerance to effect so i eat semilaceanta 2-3 times in a week on 150-200 dried mushrooms.

[MindCrazedBanjo]

I been all round nottinghamshire & only found about 30! I necked the lot in case theres any police reading this.

[ammypam]

I'm in Czech Rep. We didn't have first decent rain till 7th Oct but i can't find anything at all, not even any kind of field mushroom. Now it's sunny again with frost in the mornings. Is it too late, too early or what?

[HazePacks]

@ammypam It's perfect. I live in Germany, and those mushrooms grow like hell if it's frost. They need a 'coldshock' to grow more.

[TheKonrad1984]

@ammypam Hi, those Liberty Caps grow until the weather gets really cold,. They still grow if the weather is between 5-15 degrees.They can grow to middle of november if the weather is good.If you have weather under 5 in 4-5 days then they start too die so it's not too late.I live in southern Sweden and i had found some but not much because here we don't have much rain right now and rain is very good for shrooms so we can just hope for rain don't we :) Greetings.

[Aztechyian]

weird season - some areas early - some areas not a sausage yet as too warm and dry. However seems plum now - they should start to appear down south now methinks.

[Aztechyian]

hope you don't mind, but have put this on the Shroom Liberation Front's homepage - hope everybody is having a great shroom season

[dangerjoshc]

Could someone please help me out of where to look and when to find them etc ? I have done many different types of shrooms but have never experienced these.... I'm in the UK aswell

[Greshapa]

You should eat some of your MDMA and mushrooms at the same time. Cool videos btw, i love watching people that are experiencing !

Good vibes

[Sulky1010]

Hey do got any tips on where to find these shrooms, i kno they grow in grass areas like in your video, but do they grow everywhere or do they prefer shady places or tall grass?

[TateTrips]

@Sulky1010 I always tend to find them on mossy slanted grass high up, check out the shroomery forum for tips.

[terry9675]

sweet video dude, i went shrooming this morning, got around 360ish. thats the 28/09/2011

[baybkain]

did u pick these in the last few day's? i need to get out there if so

[TateTrips]

@baybkain they were picked the day this video was posted, many more have grown since! Are you in same area as me?

[Pyware50]

Why are you flicking them before picking them ?

[TateTrips]

@Pyware50 Just something i read to do, flick the cap and it releases spores, and clip the stem to leave the root in so that more grow.

[TheKonrad1984]

@TateTrips Cool video i can't wait for the weather too get better because it's pretty warm now in sweden :)

[chefslot]

@TateTrips sweet think more peeps should do this then once you have found your field then you know where to come back too next, week, year!!!

[TateTrips]

@EternalPower666 I'm not sure on wales, i think in general late September/early October is the best time for them, but it all depends on the weather, last week it poured down for days, followed by a couple days of cool sunny weather.. so lots grew here.

[TateTrips]

@EternalPower666 They started growing in August here. Last year they were still growing till early November. These were picked in Sowerby bridge, West Yorkshire.
