WARNING;- Many scammers are posting in the comments offering to sell mushrooms and other substances. They will take your money, but there is no way to be sure they will provide anything at all, let alone a safe product. Please do not support these scammers.
Fair play. Crystal clarity and some great advice. Keeping a lot of kids safer than any government guidelines ever will. Respect!
Haha.yeah this video wasnt around in the late 80s😳
why do you want "the government" to do what "the people" should?
@@rajadasdeviento4000
Cos they take a lot of money from us - so they can take care of us … Hmmmm ?
@@snowyowl6892 You skipped the first step and went straight to the "well, have it your way, but I want a treat" kind of posture. They shouldn't be taking money from us like they do. Also because they don't know how to spend it.
There's government guidelines on identifying psychedelic mushrooms?
Psilocybin trips happen to be some of the greatest experiences of my entire life.
Anybody who has undergone intend psilocybin therapy will understand that trying to get life changing therapeutic benefits of psychedelics without the trip is laughable.that’s what rattles you out of depression.
Dmt showed me the future of humanity. I was shown every mathematical equation written in every language that ever existed, I lived the life of every creature. I felt like I was gone for a million years. I was a dinosaur with an elephant trunk that lived on a planet with a blue sun and red vegetation. I heard colors and saw sounds. It was truly the most magical experience I have been through. All in 7 mins. Thanks to dr_xzavier_**. Cheers
I’ll recommend you to a store I got my psychedelics products
dr_xzavier#
Yes, dr_xzavier#
I’ve been having anxiety disorder and depressed lately just need to face my fears squarely.
I have been an amateur mycologist for over forty years, this is the best video on the subject of liberty caps out there. Very well thought out.
I would also state that this video is specific to liberty caps. There are many other species that do not share the same morphology.
Well thanks for the information below. I was looking to use it to help battle my alcohol problems but again,I’m not confident about buying illegal substances over the internet in a state that classifies them as class one felonies. How do I know it is not a DEA trap. Instead, the state of Oregon in setting up clinics where you can dose. By the middle of 2023 they should be up and running. A plane flight to relief
I agree. As a somewhat newbie I'm hoping he does this with all edible mushrooms. I like his style

I picked magic mushrooms every October in Sussex where I live back in the 80s and 90s. Liberty Caps is an American name because they are shaped like the Liberty Bell.
We called them Witches Tits. Far superior name.
Far far superior
The mushroom takes its common name from the Phrygian cap, also known as the "liberty cap", which has been worn throughout much of eastern Europe and the middle east.
That's a great name! I wonder if the phrase "cold as a witch's tit" refers to the mushroom rather than the bosoms of a Wicca practitioner.
Hi, Im from sussex myself and could use your input.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Some more handy bits of information:
- Remember to flick the mushroom before you pick it, as it helps spread the spores for next year. Also, don't pull the entire mushroom from the "root". Instead, slice it with your fingernail from where the stem meets the soil. This is known as the "pick and flick" rules/method. If you're just passing through an area that's abundant with them (or you're in an incredible rush) then you can just pull it all, but if you do there's no guarantee that next year they'll grow again.
- Micro-dosing (eating 2-5 liberty caps, not 25 - you won't feel high but that's the point) can be a great idea for creativity. Usually, a microdose is 1/8th to 1/10th of a "normal dose". A "normal" dose - what I'm referring to - is just over a threshold dose. Some people may like to eat heroic doses and 1/10th of that would still get plenty of people really high, so I set the number at 2 or 3, or 4, or 5 caps. Other psilocybin species has the dose set at 1 mushroom for a trip, but these are different species of psilocybin, and are huge compared to tiny liberty caps).
- A standard dose is around 30 liberty caps though I've felt a noticeable high with 15 (my first time taking them).
- Check the laws where you live. In the UK, dried mushrooms are a class-A drug (psilocybin). It used to be legal to be in possession of fresh mushrooms (which is how they were sold in Camden Market - from fresh mushroom incubators) but that isn't the case any more. If you're caught in possession of even freshly picked mushrooms you may be charged with possession of a controlled substance.
- They can help with very bad headaches/migraines including the "incurable" cluster headaches (as can LSD) but people who suffer this "untreatable" illness are not allowed to relieve themselves from the pain because of the laws surrounding psilocybin.
- Laws surrounding mushrooms are completely idiotic, considering it's a natural substance that grows from the earth. These stupid laws are made by people who need to try these wonderful little natural bounties more than anyone else.
- Keeping mushrooms require that you dry them, which will preserve the mushroom and stop fly eggs hatching into maggots on their flesh. Remember to wash them too.
- When you eat them, it may feel like there's bits of soil in them. A friend of mine describes them as being "gritty". This is normal - so don't worry that your tooth has chipped (which is exactly what it feels like - same texture and sound).
- You can eat them like normal mushrooms or brew them into tea. I knew people that liked them on a pizza.
- Psilocybin are being used to great success in clinical trials with people who have terminal diseases and have very bad anxiety at the thought of death. After taking psilocybin mushrooms, around 75% of people lose this anxiety (source: Professor David Nutt).
Most importantly be safe and have fun.
Can you fry them? Does doing so reduce their efficacy. How do you make tea with them? Can you smoke them ?
@@phildoodler2199 I don't see anything wrong with frying them. They more or less taste like normal mushrooms you eat except for those gritty parts although I've never cooked them like that, there were plenty of people I knew who treated them like normal.
For tea you buy a pair of woman tights (or pantyhose if you're American) and put them in that as a strainer. Just add boiling water and let it stew then loads of sugar and honey and down the hatch.
Some people get nauseous when taking them. Some people might vomit with tea but be fine eating it with food. Or vice-versa.
I honestly cannot attest to smoking mushrooms but I doubt it works. Psilocybin and DMT are the exact same molecule (although DMT is far far stronger and a different high) except for an extra oxygen. That extra oxygen lets your stomach break it down, except with DMT you need an MAOI if you're going to take it orally (ayahuasca/yáge).
Best just sticking to tried and tested methods.
@@raoulduke344 cheers. How many individual mushrooms do you need to ingest to get a visionary trip?
@@phildoodler2199 Start at 30. That'll be about 2g. you could take 50, which would be about 3.5g but I'd start at 30 at most.
The first time I tried them I only took about 15-20 and felt a lovely glow off them. A little like MDMA but once you go to a higher dose it's own unique effects come into play.
If you start small and ramp it up the next night/week, you'll know which way is best for you to ingest them: as tea, with food or on their own. That feeling of nausea can be worrying if it's your first time - you might think you've picked something poisonous and it may upset you, which you don't want.
Mushrooms are more forgiving than LSD (like MDMA, they're a fantastic "entry" to psychedelics) but people can still find them problematic.
Also, pay attention to the "set and setting" rules. Do you know what that means?
@@raoulduke344 set and setting ? Nope, don’t know what that means. Just so I’ve got this - 30 separate mushrooms? That’s sounds quite a lot.
Best mushroom identification video EVER. LOVED the quick, and THOROUGH, “quiz” or tutorial at the end. I wish every edible mushroom video had this feature. It’s really helpful. THANKS!
I guess everyone arrives to mushrooms with different expec- tations. For me it was my eternal search for answers.
I learned more about myself on one trip than I have through over a year of therapy.
@briansmith3392How did you get the shrooms?
Shrooms are the safest recreational drug to take, it should be legalized.
Can I find him on Instagram?
I have never tried magic mushrooms before. is it similar to DMT? How do people feel like on them?
Psilocybin is an ancient and powerful medicine. It is amusing that “modern” medicine is only now trying to understand what Indigenous people have know for a millennia.
Psychedelic help a lot and they’re like a cheat sheet to life, but you could also experience the same things. Psychedelic amp tf out whilst being sober, meditation and astral projection are key.
Ive always been open to try and see what is really beyond, what is brought out through atoms and particles in the reality of what we live in. And just open up my consciousness to a whole new plane, but how do you get ahold em?
Heard of dr_xzavier.?
On IG?
Yeah, dr_xzavier.
This is the best guide I've ever seen/read on liberty caps. Very easy to follow, definitely learned some new things !
wander how long till it gets taken down
@@redreuben4147 if u have seen any other content on this. You’d be more hopeful that this video isn’t gonna be ‘taken down’.
@@redreuben4147 that or an age verification in able to watch it
agreed. best video i have seen about the subject... (been picking libertys for a few years myself)
I was lucky enough to have clicked on this video as my first introduction and I need not search further. Pure and to the point... or cap! Thanks to The Forest!!
A point about the stem:
The Liberty cap's stem should not snap in two, when you wind it around your finger. It may break, but it should hang together by it's internal fibres, like when you break a straw of grass.
If the stem easily breaks in two, it is not a liberty cap.
This must not be used as the only point of identification, but it is an easy way of dismissing lookalikes.
Lookalikes poisonous?
This info might not be true so if your reading this, maybe do some other tests
@@frankrizzo2724 I believe it might be considered poisonous but I'm not sure. I just know people don't eat the look alike.
@@Nothing-mu9ys No that aspect is true about the stem. Liberty caps don't snap very easily at all and will snap back to place more often then not. I would NOT use that method alone. It's lookalike does not do this however.
Edit: The best check is to see if it just bruises blue or almost blue-black. The bruise is near instant.
As I said, this is not a method for positive identification but for ruling out other little brown mushrooms.
If the lookalikes are poisonous is not the point. You NEVER eat mushrooms that you aren't sure about. There are so many species that could be misidentified as liberty caps. Many of them are poisonous, but I couldn't identify them all.
You see the difference between -positive identification- and -dismissing-?
Foraging and identifying mushrooms is a process of going down a checklist (mental or in a book), of key details.
Learn to positively identify those mushrooms you intend to eat. That means you learn their key features, what to look for.
Some features (like snapping stem) can be used to dismiss a specimen as a certain species but No single features can be used to make a positive identification.
Everything you can't positively identify should be regarded as poisonous, always.
This is an amazingly educational video. I'm glad that you've made people aware of the fake psilocybe pictures in articles. You've also really helped show the differences between some of the closest lookalikes to liberty caps.
I suspect microdosing may have an effect on mood, and over time it might build up resilience or improve well-being, But I don't think it will rapidly be legalized.
But make no mistake: Psilocybin has a number of potential medical benefits.
I learned more about myself on one trip than I have through over a year of therapy.

That's bloody brilliant. Honestly I had my reservations at the beginning but by jove I'm glad I stuck with it the whole format of "ding" when it's the right one. I'll definitely remember most of the ID features now. Dogs will be getting a good walk this weekend. Thanks!
Ding..
That is the thing..
Buy never get cocky
Psilocybin, LSD, shrooms and ketamine are absolutely life changing substances that have so much potential to help people with mental health issues.
You can't overdose on mushrooms alone . You can definitely eat the wrong mushroom and get poisoning from that, but no one has ever died from psilocybin OD

Masterclass in relaying information. I have crippling inattentive adhd and managed to listen to everything you said.
Thank you so much, great job
Thanks! Personally I have noticed that looking for mushrooms is something that at least some ADHD minds seem unusually well suited to! In a way, the ADHD way of being can feel like foraging, on the move, hunting for the next little hit of stimulation. That can be very difficult in many contexts, but is perfect for finding liberty caps.
@@theforest3484 I concur with your statement. I may be one of those minds you speak of!! Darting around looking for them is exciting. 100%
BEST guide I've ever come across as an experienced picker my self.
Thank you so much for making this video, I did a lot of research on liberty caps last foraging season and found it almost impossible, your video is an incredibly meaningful step in the right direction for the internet as a whole.
Wow. High praise! Thanks so much!
Cool
@@glenneville3963Glenville wv here....Enjoy~
wow. Stunned by the thoroughness and accuracy of this guide. Appreciate your generous contribution to the world!
I think anyone who has watched this video and taken every lesson firmly into mind and succeeded in the identification section ,should feel confident enough to go and take a look for themselves. Superb video..extremely well made and just brilliantly done. A fantastic service to foragers.
I just realised this is your first and only video. I'm genuinely SO EXITED to see more of your content. Brilliantly informative. Thanks again!!
If you eat the wrong ones you will be 'exited'

Great video. The connection with the sound and picture when you identify a liberty cap is an excellent learning tool. Awesome job!
If you get an OS map of your local area, look for fields with names like springfield or that have a spring nearby, this is often a good sign there might be mushrooms found there. Also if you've been going to a particular field for years, and you find none, go up wind to other fields, mushrooms can move. Wear a hat when picking, great to put mushrooms in and if your interrupted by land owners etc, bung it on your head, "what magic mushrooms squire?" & "I'm looking for field mushrooms" or "I'm a student mycologist looking for agiricus species and sign's of symbiosis" : ) Lastly, picking mushrooms can be a spiritual experience, treat the land with respect, no breaking down fences or leaving gates open, or dropping litter, you'll just fuck it up for yourself and others. Happy picking.
I mean the last part should be a no brainier to anyone even just going out walking. Its such a shame it has to be said because of all the dick heads who ruin the countryside.
I live in Springfeild road in Dorset and at the bottom of it there is an old grave yard where the graze sheep to keep the grass down 🤔 thank you wellies on tomorrow 😁
Thank you ..
They seem to like to be near Cow shit .😊
Psilocybin containing mushrooms saved my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit. It has also helped me survive depression.
The Trips I've been having really helped me a lot,I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well

Best recognition video i've ever seen !
It's the first time i feel i could actually recognise the plant after watching the video !
The long exercise at the end is very effective, thanks !
this is the most responsible mushroom identify video I have ever seen. I was thinking 30minutes video just for one mushroom? But after look through all the look alike. yes, I need 30 minutes.
I was looking for a video like this for so long , this was just wonderful and I hope to see more like this in the future !
BEST GUIDE IVE FOUND!!
A copy things you could of added about picking like you should always flick them before picking & snip them not pull the out the ground if you want to use that location to
Pick again next year!!
This is a great part of shrooming culture! But actually, there's debate if it actually makes any difference... though I appreciate it as a ritual. Some studies say no difference (see link). But it can't do any harm. For beginners collecting unfamiliar edible mushrooms though, it can be worthwhile to pick the whole mushroom because the base can give identification clues. This isn't so relevant to liberty caps.

Yes doing that flick thing aswell and not pulling up from the ground just cracked half way up.👍👍🌜🌛🙏✨⚡
It's not necessary. Picking a mushroom is like picking an apple, the mycelium extends far beyond, if you picked it with a shovel it would be no different.
@@nickbownz right. Take the full fruit.
This is the best video/tutorial on how to identify a specific mushroom, ever! Thank you for that. I think the idea of displaying an icon of magic mushrooms along with the sound when the proper mushroom is shown is an excellent one. Also, the quiz at the end is a brilliant and very helpful idea. Absolutely the best instructional video of that sort. Thanks for that, again!
This is the best and clearest video I've ever seen on identifying liberty cap. I really appreciate the skill and work that went into producing it. Thank you.
Grasslands and sheep fields in autumn
The structure and information in this video are awesome. Great work!
Beautiful Trichocerious towers you have growing behind you.... :)
This vid is (by far) the BEST presentation for identifying Lib Caps.... I love the little "ding" sound, it offers a "conditioning" component to the instruction that helps it "stick" into the mind on a deep level...
I can't wait to pass this on.... SO COMPREHENSIVE AND PRECISE!
Very informative and well executed video. If a picture is worth a 1,000 words, then hundreds of pictures combined with knowledgable commentary is priceless.
This is hands down the best resource ive ever seen for liberty cap identification. Thank you.
Simply brilliant content. The camera work, the editing, the information and the presentation. I'm a novice "picker"so this is invaluable to me. Thank you!
Fantastic information! I feel sooo much more confident hunting for liberty caps now. Thank you for the great info
Thank you so much, can‘t wait until autumn!!
I can't find a source anywhere for any good psychedelics in my area, I suffer some pretty bad depression and i got a chance to try K and man it was a miracle substance, I felt free, the only high or euphoria was from the relief of my vices being released, that's exactly what it did
The psychedelic experience is temporary but many people have permanent results.
All the problems that these compounds can help solve, and the potential for peace they have.
I had 3.5grams dried lemon tek most beautiful experience ever!

Damn man...this is some top-level content! Thank you, Sir! I'm fairly new to the wonderful world of liberty cap shroom appreciation and this video was extremely helpful!
I absolutely loved this video! Was the best one I’ve seen yet to help guide. I liked how the liberty cap symbol popped up for each identifiable one in the video, very helpful thank you!
Thank you for posting this! It’s obvious that a lot of work went into it. This is the best video around about mushroom id. I’d love to learn about other mushrooms as well. I hope you’ll have time to post more ❤️
Thanks! I am already making one for next season on another psychoactive mushroom, but maybe should do edibles... though there's already good content out there. I like Galloway Wild Foods.
This should be essential viewing for any budding mycophile or beginner forager who is interested in these little treasures of the British countryside. I only wish I had this last year; it would have helped to no end in sorting sneaky mottlegills from the libs but I'm glad that it's here now for the season ahead! 🍄 Excellent work and happy hunting
When does the season start?
Instant Subscribe. This saves me all the time I normally use viewing multiple sources. The comparison and practice segment is brilliant. Best video without question (and I haven't even seen any others). Cheers from Germany
The advice, not to pick is the best, I have ever heard. The video shows me that I never found a liberty cap until now. I saw all the various forms you show us. All wasn't the right species! Thanks for the high quality!
Wow just a boss with deep understanding and caring about his viewers. Thank you @TheForest
wow!!! what an amazing video - beautifully documented. Time flew by when I was watching it, super engaging. Thanks a lot, I feel so much more confident going out by myself to forage liberty caps.
Man this is absolutely brilliant, such fine detail you went in to, this man cares 👏
He's got magic shrooms, Dmt, lsd, mdma, chocolate bars, he's got a lot and also ships globally.. 🍄 🍫💊

Each autumn I intend to forage but often lose confidence, this seems like a really decent resource, made for the right reasons. Thank you.
Absolutely legendary format. If you guys could do more like this for gourmet edible mushrooms that would be amazing.
Brilliant. Well made and thoroughly explained. Terrifying to see so many articles with inaccurate photographs
By far and away the best content Ive seen on how to identify, admire n photograph liberty caps ... thank u for going into such amazing detail 🙏🍄 seriously , fair play for putting the work into it n sharing , learned more from that than my past 28 yrs of shroom photography ! Cheers
Thanks so much! Can I see your shroom photography anywhere?

This is a great video. Can’t wait to see other videos. I would love to hear you break down characteristics of other edible mushrooms for foods sake. Thanks for the info. This video has definitely changed the way I will look at mushrooms moving forward.
Was pleasantly impressed by this video and it's thoroughness!

@@jamesdavid7599 Well you don't have much choice when you find little in the wild, where I live those are pretty rare.
I don't plan on collecting any mushrooms but it is nice to be able to identify them , Thanks for the great video. I'm slowly considering mushroom identification as a new hobby and this was a fun place to start.
Yes! For me, mushroom identification was an interest long before psychedelics were. Lots of mushroom users go the opposite direction. Mushroom use leads to being fascinated by fungi. Check out the book Entangled Life.
I think I would be about 90% confident in identifying a Liberty Cap now! Thanks, this is a great vid!
Wow, freaky synchronicity! I've just got back in from a bit of foraging for sweet chestnuts and sloe berries and I stumbled across what I thought were liberty caps. I picked 5 or 6 and brought them back to check. Just sat down for some lunch and a half-look on CZcams and this video pops up... I thought, "I recognise that guy"; I did a psilocybin retreat in Holland in 2018 where Josh was a guide. Awesome content, keep going with the vids Josh, it's needed now more than ever!!!
Thanks so much!

A brilliant, concise and very much needed collection of information for anyone not completely confident identifying the beautiful caps...thankyou. 🙏
The stork is the defining factor it must be twisted at the bottom
I love this video. Although it is about "magic mushrooms", it is remarkably good as a model for how to teach species identification of all sorts. By the end of the video I felt very confident in my ability to correctly identify liberty cap mushrooms. I would, however, want to watch it again just before going into the wild to refresh my memory. Brilliantly done, thank you.

I really appreciate your deep sense of responsibility regarding your advice you are giving people. Cheers for that. There is alot of very potentially dangerous clickbait info on the internet these days . Best of luck to you.
you are so chill i can tell you are enlightened
Thanks so much for this...I'm on my 3rd season & feeling fairly confident when looking.... watching this has confirmed I'm doing good 👍🍄😻🏴🎃👻
Hello! I live In the uk and I am trying to start my journey. I suffer from severe adhd and I would like to speak to someone who have some experience about liberty caps. How do you feel?
Excellent analysis
What an incredible video. I have not tried finding any in the wild yet, but because of this video, I am now a certified expert. [Confirming Liberty cap chime sound]
Thank you Josh for putting this together in a clear well thought out mannor. The comparison and identification towards the end are really helpful.
I will say though you're wrong about parks, one of my best spots is a park. Cricket pitches, golf courses, race courses and parks can all be amazing and defiantly worth a check.
Yes, there are some good spots like that. However, in all the online places where newbies post pictures of finds, there's loads of hopeful people who stumble upon mushrooms in their garden or nearby urban park, and virtually none of those will be liberty caps. Whereas out in the fields and moors there's a better hit-rate. I want beginners to understand that the chances of the first mushroom they see in a park or grass verge being a liberty cap is very low. Could be worth checking tho, you're right! Thanks for commenting.
Les endroits dont tu parles sont tous fréquentés par des chevaux ou l'ont été par des bovins dans le passé ,donc cela m'etonne pas si tu y trouves des magic champi !
This is an absolutely brilliant video for the identification of liberty cap mushrooms for educational and safety purposes. Amazing, love the test at the end.
BEST/TOP guide into libs available online ! hats off, true heros wear no capes
I love it how I hadn't watched any videos related to the topic but youtube still suggested this video to me.
Anyway it's a well done guide!
To the creator. There are bots trolling your channel scamming people who watch/comment. Hopefully you continue to make identification of mycology content for the people like me who enjoy the hobby.
Thanks. I'm really sorry about this problem. I have reported the scammers and complained to CZcams, but it's an uphill struggle.
This video is methodical, easy to grasp and concentrates on what I want to learn without fatal errors. Thank you for your efforts friend ♥️
I'd appreciate your comment
I bought some psychedelic product from a drugstore online they're very reliable ship discreet

Thanks Kiara, good idea. I will consider that for summer time, in the winter it grows everywhere here though 😍
Thank you for a wonderful video tutorial. This is by far the most effective and concise explanation of how anyone should identify libs. Keep up the great work.
Brilliant video, I've been picking liberty cap's for the last 3 year's, I travel quite far to hunt for mine but well worth it. I remember finding my first one and was literally over the moon and once you find one you can never go wrong. I now love all kinds of edible mushrooms and forage for my own edibles.
Can you travel by plane with them?
Great video!
You are a good teacher in this class!I started to pick this one, back in 1982, I think! I just ate the ones I found, until I got to 25, and I was starting to feel waves of something different from usual mind. Although I have taken psychedelic mushrooms countless times, all together, I will always remember the first time!
It's easy to dry them! But they can also be preserved with honey or be frozen in doses.
I think it was legal the first time. But, I have not been bothered by cops in the pastures they are found, at any time.
did you find I took while for to get use to the trips over time.
That was pretty helpful, thanks mate!
This is the best video I've seen about identityfiing this type of mushroom , thank you keep up the good work 👍
This is by far the best guide i've seen! i played it at 1.5x speed as i found the pace a little slow, but appreciate how thorough this is!
Ozric tenticals on the earphones are a must on expeditions.
Try the folk rock band called trees ..only did 2 albums but they work very well when visiting that realm

Get the Hawkwind and Gong out , bamboooooo!
Thanks for this. Great. I wish I could walk past mushrooms and hear that “ping” to confirm
Amazing. Thank you. Please do more guides like this! Very thorough!!
You've pretty much cleared up any uncertainty I've had in my picking career
Loved this video, thank you so much, but I did want to add that Liberty caps also grow on playing fields. Not all of course, as some have been sprayed with fungicide but I have found many over the past few years on a playing field near me. Nevertheless, thank you for this once again ✨
Fungicide dosen't actually kill the mushroom, the mycelium is underground and can't be killed
@@Maddy7210 would it make the shroom inedible? i would think so
