I am not sure about this, I am a noob... I am not sure what you should plant I don't think it should matter too much... You are planning an outdoor patch... You'll definitely need spawn to get it going... Correct me if I am wrong but I think it's best to put a fully populated spawn to give you a leg up against contaminants that are sure to infect your patch in an area that isn't meant to grow your shrooms... I'd also like to know how this goes for you when you get advice from a better source than my noob status... If I recall correctly liberty caps grow in Ireland and the UK... I don't know anything about them except they are small shrooms... I will be watching this post to see what develops with some more experienced advice...
here is a quote from another shroom site...
I am hoping to try my luck at finding some liberty caps in the wild this year...
I have read up and looked at pictures and things on identifying them and I'll like post pictures here for help should we come back with anything...
But my question is, when would be a good time to go, because we've had a heat wave summer and little rain, and I know it's around september (later) but are there any times or signs in the weather etc. I should def look for before I stomp out to the nearest fields?
I am under the impression it is a bit too early and need to wait for more rain...
Also, I read but couldn't find any information on poisonous look-a-likes to liberty caps...did I miss something or are all look-a-likes harmless. I obviously won't be taking any risks but for peace of mind be nice to know...
Thank you to all those who reply! If I missed something vital tell em and i'll reply or edit it in...
Btw, I am in the south of england.
