Seasonal Hunt for the Liberty Cap



End of September and into October is the time to see various hunched figures looking closely at the ground, usually in pasture land. They are not looking for examples of interesting forms of sheep droppings. Much more likely they are after examples of nature's hallicinogenic fix, the Liberty Cap fungus also known as the Magic Mushroom. As many as ten of these dedicated foragers have been seen at one time in places like Longshaw. This one was the first seen this year on Blacka.


Could this be what they are looking for?
