This video is for mycological research purposes, in order to help other mycologists in correctly identifying the right soil types, habitat, indicator plants, key identification features, and similar species to avoid.
Below are some useful resources such as a soil acidity map of the UK, an online database consisting of species and location they have been found previously, and an active Facebook community that I run, where you can chat with me and 50,000 other people about this fantastic mushroom.

Never done this but defo taking the dog out for a mooch now!
Noob question, what’s the best method of ingestion if I’m successful?
Get a wind filter!
I’ve been edale way back in the eighties picking em ,best feeling in the world when you get a nice trip ,but wouldn’t recommend it for obvious reasons
One question please 🤔 whats your thoughts on regeneration?? Do u pick and flick? Leave the root ball in the ground? Is there any proven way to pick and help respaw the muchrooms?
GOLF COURSES
I've always won on golf coursed. 😉
Used to love going out picking, bottle of Fanta to kill the taste then one down the neck then a few in the bag. Ribbleshead viaduct was great and nearest to home York racecourse.
Maybe mention the worms mate! tummy troubles lol
Aaaah brings back happy memories of tripping on the golf courses and beaches of St Andrews at night in the 80's…
Great video fella. Really appreciate it 🙏😊
How many days after it has rained is it worth to go looking?
I’m in the tropics and friends of mine here tell me magix grow in the pastures where the cows graze. It’s nearly the end of the rainy season so shall take a walk and see if I see any. Cheers❤
My absolute hero this will help a lot!!!
Will the lookalike shrooms make you ill?
Early eighties,buxted park Sussex. Happy days. Thanks for your video!
In 1982 we picked over 900 one day and fired the lot into a pot and made Psilly Tea. I think there were 6 or 7 of us who took a cup each. It was the strongest trip any of us had ever been on, to this day I still remember all of us walking the streets for hours going through the motions, I was coming up for hours…and some nice soft Leb for the come down..those were the days as a 17 year old 😂😂
The final enclosed field on the Llanberis path up Snowdon is a good place to see them.
Good vid! Also good to say if the other lookalikes are dangerous or not
Wish I knew where to find them on Skye.
Don't know why this was recommended to me, but at least I now know what the mushrooms growing in my garden are.
1:32 just under your hand
Bros took so menney shoorms he looks like one😂✌️💯
South wales confirms..
Go Dartmoor loadsa of them around.
How long can you store them dried in a sealed glass jar with silica gel bags?
I've just munched some of the libs I got in the peak district last week 😂😂
Hey guys dose anyone have any advice for drying them with out a dehydrator it would be really appreciated please 😊
I seem to have found much less this year. Still a little time, I suppose. 🙏
They do say if you eat the wrong mushrooms it's new liver time ……
Brings back some memories, this.
Once you know, you know.
Great video.
Great visuals … 😂
Dont uproot them! nip them off at the base with your nails or a pair of scissors so as not to damage the mycelium that produces them.
From Laois just wondering any good spots for picking or any1 willing to sell?:)
Hay Bluff in Wales guaranteed
i didall this in my 20s and lovewd the whole buzz of getting up on the moors etc and comeing back with tupperware FULL. now i live in scotland and christ, theres so much land on my doorstep that i know is riddled but im 39… havent done shroomz in years. TYPICAL !!
Anyone know a place in Essex?
Dartmoor?
6:20 – are those libs? They look way too light and more umbrella shaped than bell shaped, with lighter gills too no?
Don’t drink it drive take a mushroom and fly home. Greetings from Hungary.😂
AMAZING VIDEO BRO 👊🏽 They thrive so well in South Wales. I find about 200-m 300m is their optimum altitude in Wales
Also if theres sheep, cows (manure) in the area
I find if you find one, because of the mycelium you’ll find more near by hidden in clumps
They tend to stay away from the wind
What kind of land do liberty caps grow best in.
plenty of them in Ireland, i found fields that havent been ploughed in years are good for finding them, watch out for the bulls, few close calls in my day and pesky porkers
Picking them in Yorkshire for years
That's a great location right there.
Do they bruise blue?
There is a field next to my house and they are everywhere!! Found out later that the patch where they all grow is over a mass grave for people who died in the Black Death lol didn’t stop me from going back though 😂 picking soothes my soul ❤
