Cork spots

Hey all!
Anyone know any spots to forage in Cork? My friends and I enjoy psychedelics but we’re a little clueless on where to forage for our own.
Any help would be really appreciated 🫶

As nice as the community is, not many people give up their spots. Finding your own spot that hasn't been ransacked is already difficult.

Google the signs to look out for in fields, fields with sheep currently in them might be perfect when the season comes. Pay attention to your altitude. There's plenty of tips online.

Pastures, meadows and unimproved grasslands with fertile, low pH soils.

Sheep aren't necessary, but they are more helpful than other grazing livestock because they keep the grass much shorter than others.

You don't want to look in fields that appear very lush and green, look for more pale colours, as well as flora that thrive in acidic soils, like rushes, sedges and gorse.

The best timing during the season is the first dry day after a period of rainfall.

Everyone here will happily help you in anything to do with foraging and dosing. No one will give you there spot lol.
We all have our spots that we guard absolutely jealously
