Up near the Blue Light in the Dublin mts, was where we had the best picking, but that's going back a lot of years, also I heard from one of irelands leading mushroom experts that there's a field at Inch, near Arklow that is full of them....

From what I've heard, the problem is that farmers are fertilising fields and that this kills off mushrooms.
prof you have hit the nail on the head there. Even down to the odd old GAA pitch that used to have a shit load of them. you really want to be hitting the curragh the start of sept.

Got a few shrooms there yesterday only got about ten of the smallest blighters in the field lol

Went down the curragh aswell, got fuck all, puffed a bit of funky cron so it wasnt all bad;-)

Any of you know if the frost kills them off or what? Want to get a few more over the next few days but its been gettin fairly chillie on the willy the last few days.
yes mate first frost kills them off.

How bad of a forst now lads cuz i have been doing a smidge of reserch and some crowed are saying a small frost that thaws in the morning doest kill them off. I just might have another ramble this week.

Like the day before i went out there was a slight ground frost and i still found a few.

Like what maulstrum was saying there kinda like acid, much more fun and giggley i think. I did have one or 2 bad trips on them tho where i thought i was in a differnt world lol

Around 50 gives you a nice slightly trippy fun happy buzz, highly recomended.

The lads use to get carrying bags full of them on the mountains in Wales...
My ribs would hurt from laughing so much on them...

We heard the it was fine to consume them up on the mountain but if you brought them down in to town then we could get done with class "a"... Not sure how true this is but yeah fun times have been had on mushies.. Can't see me taking them again though (body probably not able for them now)

Might go for the mushies next season then or if it was you would you guys say fuck it and buy the mexican or phillipino ones in the shop near me? Their pretty cheap and boys I know that like mushies buy them the odd time...they do say the fresh ones are a better buzz though so it might be worth the wait.

Staring at the plants? Haha I do it flat out, I'm a bit overboard but not to the extent I'd hurt the plants, I sit and check in beside the nodes and see how many false seed pods are growin and turning them around, since they grow everyday even by a millimeter I move the light to get the best angle for the buds ect...It's either that or smoke myself to death as usual, I work nights so I have a bad social life as regards gettin out durin the week I spend 5 days or more tending to the cupboard.

I was lookin up the LST method lastnight and decided to tie down the big girl also so now the light is hitting the budds all the way down so they should grow a bit better or produce the chemicals better whatever stage she's at, it's a bit confusin she's had another centimeter of height since 2 days ago now with this growth spurt, any ideas how long or big she might get because of it?

I'd wait. I've had the Mexican and Liberty Caps are way better! Depends on how bad you want that trip though ;-)

Before I describe the situiation it may turn out to be one of those you had to be there ones but I still laugh my head off thinkin about it and I wasn't on anything except comedy and pot.

Got an ounce, a load of mushies and a shopfull of munchies, a ps2 (3 wasn't out yet), rented 3 or 4 games and bought a few albums to play out, obviously we were intending to get in a wile way for a whole weekend smokin, gamin sleepin to smokin and gamin...so on and so forth, on the 2nd day my mate rogan who is well over 6ft tall and about 15 or more stone, not a small man by any means, is trippin the balls of himself laughin at god only knows what and shouting NO...NO KEEP THEM AWAY FROM ME THEIR TOO CUTE....so whatever these were started to walk over and try to hug him or whatever so he jumped up screamin and ran towards me on the sofa....jumped in behind me and pulled a small tissue over his head and said...make sure you stay like this mick they can't get me aslong as they can't see me hidin here....I fuckin roared out with laughter and still do, he stayed there I dare say for around 20 mins gigglin and makin me shake with his giggles...excillent time and they were the mushies I'm talkin about, red ones with white spots, this guy took mushies every season and said those ones were just as good if not better.

That would be Amanita muscaria, the fly agaric. They are supposed to be good, but have to be prepared properly or they will poison you.

Ah right, their sold in a shop would they not be checked or regulated to be sold? They have proper packaging and that too

Has anyone come across 'psilocybe cyanescens' also known as 'wavycaps' in Ireland?
I found a fair few this year. Very stronge buggers, incredibly visual.
In fact the patch I found is in its third flush right now.

Wouldn't worry too much, the oldest set of leaves will fall off

right guys i think i might need to flush the plants, a couple more leaves are yellowing around the edges and still showing green vains. one or 2 of the first set of leaves have started to curl. In simple mans terms how do i flush. Do i just continue with my normal watering cycle for a week or 2 with just water???

hi fella
when i flushed my plants i put them in the bath and ran about 8-10 litres of water through the plants. you really need to have the water pissing through or at least thats what i did. my first sets of leaves are also yellowing and dropping off so as said i would not worry too much. how are the leaves further up the plant are they ok .
i got my UFO LIGHT today, so i am setting it up this evening and i will put picks up tomorrow. i must say it got here in about 6 days and that included the b weekend so it was quick. the guys over there are great, vic. the light itself is very well made and the light from it is mad!
cant wait to see the results i get and i hope it works ok.
later
lu
