A Practical Guide to Finding New Spots for Observing* P. Semilanceata aka “Liberty Caps”
* It’s illegal to pick Psilocybe Semilanceata in the UK
This easy & practical guide aims to increase your chances of finding a quiet spot from which to observe these rare & magical specimens.
“I travelled 35 miles west on a grey morning, heading to an unknown spot somewhere between Manchester and Bolton. I’d had no luck all season, seen a handful of caps and decided there must be a way to use logic to find a place where they grew in abundance, there had to be. I triangulated the moorland I’d found ensuring it was equidistant from the largest nearby towns and in my mind the most likely not to have been ravaged by pickers. I’d inspected the spot remotely to see if I could find somewhere quiet and not overlooked, found my parking spot – I knew the soil was almost perfect and the weather was spot on. Stopping for a piss at a lay-by on the way I found a cluster of about ten over a stone wall and hoped it was a sign. It was raining when I pulled up and slipped my waterproofs over my trousers. I climbed the mossy stile, in this completely unknown isolated spot 35 miles from home, and within half a minute I’d spotted the caramel and brown clusters sprouting across the path leading upwards, they were everywhere…”
