Hi, this is something I want to try, but I don't have access or contact with people like dealers andif I'm honest, I don't want to either. I'd like to be able to find some magic mushrooms in the West Midlands area (specifically Coventry) and I want to know what season/weather they're most likely to bloom in?
I know what they look like, and I know that there are some poisonous ones to look out for, but I want to know if you can like.. find them in random fields or near woods or something? I don't live near any sheep farm, just near some horses..
I'm under the impression they appear in damp weather, but I could be wrong. I apologise if I come across as really naive, but I just don't have the patience to sit through longarse articles about the chemistry behind them and stuff....

They're a piece of cake to find. They grow all over the country. This idea that Wales is the only place to pick them is false. I get them in my back garden and in the field beyond.
In the case of Liberty Caps look for grasslands in rural areas from mid-end of sept through to start of nov.
Wavy caps grown on wood chips and mulch and can be found even in urban flower beds.
Flay Agaric are probably the easiest to find, they grow anywhere near silver birch trees. These are little different from the others in that they contain musicimol rather than psilocybe.
Fly Agaric: I thought they were poisonous? Or have I been playing too much Metal Gear Solid 3..

I've had them plenty of times. Does give you gut ache, but as long as your careful they're alright. It's just that they come from the same family of mushrooms as some of the most deadly.
Good question... worth taking on board the following from our factsheet which I'm sure you've seen already
Don't treat them lightly either. Taking magic mushrooms can be a very powerful experience. Company and surroundings are key to have a good trip.
I know this is an unlikely'ish event but what if you have already ate them and you get, say, stopped by the police? Can they arrest you for it even though you've already taken them? If you don't say whether or not you've taken them.. just asking because I have bad luck in regards to these things like that.
But yeah. Thanks for all the information. x I'll do a bit more research.
My advice would be to take them with somebody who's taken them before if possible, and I certainly wouldn't do them alone. Do them in the day time, in safe surroundings (we always do them in the forest) and allow plenty of time to for the trip. They can last for quite a long time.
