UK Mushroom HotSpots on Google Maps

Heres a favourite spot of mine in DerbyShire on Stanton Moor.

I lived there for about a year.

There is also a bronze age stone circle on the moor, and in the surrounding woodland, badger, deer, foxes etc.

The link shown is excellent for liberty caps (psilocybin)

Please feel free to show other places in the UK that are great for mushy picking.

But also around Stanton moor other friends of mine found Fly Agaric, I never tried that though, I just did thousands and thousands o mushrooms for a month. I ate them straight out the ground - best not to look at the tiny maggots inside LOL,
When we returned home to camp at the end of the day, we'd put the half thousand mushies we didn't eat all into one big pan and make a massive tea for everyone.
Then people would begin the yawns...

Did I mention there used to be a protest site on Stanton moor? Well they have now saved this beautiful part of Britain from being quarried and the camp, I hear, has been cleaned up and people have moved onto the next piece of wild Britain under threat. wooah went off a bit of a tangent there lol

You should be careful posting this.. You are giving up the spot! Not only to people here but to anybody else who wants to see.. I don't know how long this thread will last but goodluck! Also you should keep this to yourself.. If that field gets picked clean over and over then someday soon it will stop producing.. Always leave ample amounts unpicked.. This way the spot will be guarented to produce over and over..

I won't have a chance to go there this year. So to any Derbyshire people reading. Feel free to pick some mushies but like matey said above always leave a few for continuity. :)

When I first asked a mate about Magic mushrooms -
he said: "Have you not tried them?"
Me: No What do they look like?
Him" (Walks 20 feet away) Here you are.

After that moment I spent the rest of mushy season walking and picking.

I would show everyone that came up where to find the mushies. That reference above - you could literally walk 5 miles in any direction and as long as you're near fields you'll find the mushies.
As I said I used to go every couple of days and always come back with thousands. Mind you I didn't mind spending hours searching and munching.
