Hello everyone, last season I began preparing photographs and eventually began to create what I set out to be a photographic guide to the identification of Psilocybe semilanceata. As of today, I have finished the guide and have it in PDF form. Using the link, you will be able to view and download the whole guide in PDF form via the DocDroid website. I hope it finds itself to be useful amongst newcomers and even seasoned pickers. Happy hunting everyone ~ Pas.

Drying libs in wild

2 Upvotes

Is there a way at least keep them from rotting on 7 days trip? I love wild camping in Scotland and hiking day after day. However on last trip ( i didnโ€™t planned to pick) found loads of libs and everything just went to bin. Can you share your tips and tricks on longer journeys how to keep them safe while you are on wild camping trips? Drying on sun is not an option, but on gas is an option( if it works). Looking forward to hear whats your options ๐Ÿ˜‚

QUESTION Species/plants giveaway on soil acidity

2 Upvotes

Hi guys I'm new to this and I want to find libs, but according to sporecast the "soil type" isn't the right one which I'm guessing is the acidity of it and I was wondering which plants to look out for that would suggest high acidity levels(I'm from Bulgaria and if someone here is from BG too I would love to see your spot suggestion). I'm guessing there are other plants that are dead giveaways of high acidity tho, but I gotta know lol

Three of these are not liberty caps. Make a guess in the comments!

Make a guess or let your knowledge be known in the comments. Last time most got it correct. Most importantly, be honest and don't check the comments or the spoiler beforehand!

Spoiler: counting from the left, number three, eight and ten are not libs

--------------------

Also sharing with you the place I picked them and find myself tripping in right now. I ate maybe six or so, so the mental filters are present still. But feeling a lot of LOVE for the trees here, which I'm hugging.

Getting caught

9 Upvotes

Hello, I've recently gotten interested in trying hunting for liberty caps and pan cinctulus but have been wondering about how likely is it to get caught. In Lithuania we have very strict laws regarding any kinds of drugs which also includes psilocybin. I am a bit paranoid as punishments here are severe and we don't have a lot of big and open pastures like in the UK, Ireland, Norway, etc. which means it's harder to stay far away from houses and farmers. Does anyone have some wisdom regarding this?

QUESTION Does Psilocybe Semilanceata grow exclusively on acidic soil?

2 Upvotes

I was researching a bit about the species, looking for the spot near my location where I might end up encountering it. I ended up with following criteria:

1) Low-growing vegetation

2) Pasture or meadow grazed by cows or sheep without a lot of trees nearby

3) Land uncultivated by humans

4) Terrain that is close to some kind of stream or river

5) Higher altitude

Now, I live in Vojvodina and based on my geolocation alone, not all the criteria from above can be easily fulfilled. Next to this, soil type in Vojvodina is mostly alkaline or neutral. Is there still a chance I might find this species on non-acidic soil or is the soil type another criteria that must be fulfilled?

Thoughts on forthcoming season UK

Hello, I've been thinking what kind of season we might have and also trying to manifest a long autumn to match this drought summer.. I try :) lol

Without jinxing it too much, do you think this is going to be a super short season or a much longer one lasting well into November?

thanks โค๏ธ

Could these be libs? I don't think so personally. There is no tit on the cap and they appear more flat + stem is shorter and weaker, wavy tho? I know there can be a less potent kind of these too, can it be them?

Additional information:

A field with sheep and sheep poo everywhere + plus that tall grass that is an indicator of acid ground.

Found today 15.08.2026. Can I eat them?

The season has started all over Norway, and today I found these. But! Two of them are not our beloved magic mushroom.

Guess which two are incorrect. Make a guess in the comments, then check the spoiler afterwards.

Was it easy?

Check out that link for more guessing. Not my website. It was a valuable tool for me when getting started out.

Spoiler: number four from the left and the one to the very right are not libs
