Mushroom season

[Jamie.]

Is here!

Anyone been/planning to go picking this year? I'll hopefully get out a night this week.

[GhostRider]

Had a go this weekend, first time I've tried, pickings were slim from what I found, my location was textbook as well - cows and rabbits there every year, 140 acres of countryside - there's bound to be a harvest for the taking there surely! Well, perhaps, but not right now, will have another venture next weekend as theres more rain due this week.

Following a thread on the Shroomery regarding this years season, people up North are having a great result, whereas the midlands and further south are lagging at the moment but there's hope yet.

Here's a few I picked - some of them are the Precious but I think a few are lookalikes - waiting for confirmation from those wiser than I at the moment.

They've been decent for weeks up north, think I'm just going to get someone to post me some from up there rather than chase the elusive trail all over the south.

I'm not an expert ghostrider, but you don't have many, if any liberty caps in that pic.

[Visitor Q]

Cheers for the reminder. Give me something to do tomorrow.

[GhostRider]

Perhaps not, but it wouldn't matter if all of them were since I need a good couple hundred to do anything worthwhile with, so as long as I can confirm at least 1 is I'll know exactly what to look for and where to find them next week. That was 1 of several photos I took as well so might have some in the others.

I've been out harvesting berries for weeks now and have so many my freezer is bulging at the sides, top and bottom! The cupboard is popping with alcoholic concoctions and just today I've made another 3 litres of damson vodka and picked another 2kg of sloes!

However, there are no 'shrooms to be seen anywhere yet I'm not very confident with them TBH but my neighbours are knowledgeable, so I figure if they eat them I'll follow

If I get some free time then I fancy giving this ago..
I don't have the first clue though, I have heard of a place or two locally where they may be abundant though but I wouldn't know what to look for..
So BCF tell me all I need to know

[Moonie]

[Mac_Black]

I may well just have a suitable candidate for this purpose, I will ask him also.

[trevoriv]

This sounds like a fun way to spend a weekend

Marked a couple as I reckon from the photo.

Bear in mind I've only been picking the once, but at the same time ate a fair few of my haul and I'm still breathing so take it however you wish.

Top left look nice with a pronounced nipple on top, the one I've X'd I think are too grey/brown and too rounded on top.

Obviously photos are hard to go by for finicky stuff like mushroom ID'ing.

I need to get out soon myself.

Happy hunting all.

Had several expert opinions now, the ones in yellow and green are Libs for shizzle, so this weekend I shall be hunting once again looking for those!
