* 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 wet and 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. It was raining heavily when I pulled up and slipped my waterproofs over my trousers. Climbing the mossy stile into a completely unknown isolated spot 35 miles from home I had no idea if I’d find a fucking thing, but within a minute I spotted them… caramel and brown alien clusters, sprouting from tufts beside the path, and as I looked around the deserted moor I realised they were everywhere…”

Frequently Asked Question

  • Couldn’t I do this without the guide?
    • Of course – This guide is just common sense approach to using freely available data and information, you could absolutely do this without this guide
  • Does this guide guarantee success?
    • Absolutely not! This guide is no guarantee whatsoever or a successful hunt, I wish it was that simple – But, it does significantly increase your chances
  • What about that famous Magic Mushroom app, couldn’t I just get that?
    • Yes, however sadly I’ve found its terrain & soil suggestions extremely limited. Some of my most fruitful viewings have been in areas that the map says nothing would grow

    • No not at all, you just need to give a shit and have an internet connection to do your planning and spot saving
  • How long does it take to find a spot?
    • You can find a potential spot in about 10 minutes – beyond that it takes as much time as you have to go out and explore
  • Can I find a spot and get to it on public transport?
    • Yes but having transport makes it a lot easier – This guide can be used regardless, but if you’re on buses, trains, or on foot, there will be limits to how far afield you can get
  • The guide didn’t work for me, can I get my money back?
    • Sorry but I don’t offer refunds…I’m offering the guide for a really reasonable amount and I’ve had tremendous luck using it, but I’ve also discovered nothing at possible spots – If you’re not 100% sure you want to invest, I recommend simply not buying the guide
