Magic mushrooms grow in all sorts of environments, but woodland, naturally fertilised meadows, and any large area of grass or fields all offer ideal conditions for various species. 

You shouldn’t have to go far to find some magic mushrooms in the UK. Local parks, common recreational areas, race tracks, woodland and country paths are all potential growing spots. 

Disclaimer: Please do not search for magic mushrooms without sufficient knowledge, some of the species shown in this article look very similar to poisonous mushrooms. Also, don’t test mushrooms by eating them, poisonous varieties can be very potent. Psilocybe semilanceata (Liberty Caps) are a good place to start as they are very common and relatively safe to identify.
