I don't know what I'm looking for how do I know which ones are the ones?

This is the general shape you are looking for, this is a commonly found but weak conifer psilocybe (spelling? I'm not googling here). I believe this is the correct species, it is commonly mistaken for the liberty cap which is very similar in shape. Either are quite common and basically what you should be looking for though.

I recommend doing some research though, making sure you know specifically what you're looking for and know what similar looking species look like that can be dangerous, such as deathcaps, which although uncommon can be deadly. It's not all that difficult to tell the difference if you've done your research though and very few people make that mistake (or ever find deathcaps).

Research is the key though, in certain areas it pays to know all the various types of hallucinogenic mushroom as some are significantly rarer but quite potent. You never know what you might stumble across. If you're going on a mushroom hunt get a book on it and take it with you, once you start looking you start getting quite good at instinctively knowing the right areas where mushrooms would likely grow, dark damp niches with protection, etc.

Making me want to go hunting for some again now, just to see if they're still growing where I used to pick.

EDIT: A death cap with a noticeably similar shape, take note of the wider and straighter stem and more round and smooth bell shape tip compared to the more conical tip of the psilocybes you're looking for.. Compare multiple images though, mushrooms all grow slightly differently and you can get drastically different looking mushrooms of the same strain.

you could spot that death cap a mile off thanks for the tips don't wanna kill myself

Yeah, some are rather more obscure though, I chose that image because it's pretty much the closest match in terms of shape while also showing the very clear differences in skin smoothness and structure. Some may be significantly more dogeared and there are variations in breed(or whatever that term is). As I said research things properly to get a wider idea of the variations.

Also, when out hunting for this kind of thing you inevitably come across thousands of other types of fungus and mushrooms out there. Many of which are in fact edible and very tasty, I was with a girl a few years back who's dad was a fungal expert (forgotten the term now) for the local green part of the council and he used to collect hundreds of different types in an hour trip outside his front door (they lived in country surroundings). They did need preparing though and not all were edible straight from the ground. It's actually quite cool stuff though and knowing what you can and can't eat is unarguably a useful skill should you ever find yourself in a pinch.

definitely I'll have to get my hands on a book up for spinning out watching a random movie. I'll have to find some of my drug using friends to do it with though not a good idea to do it by yourself.

We used to go picking shrooms on the golfcourse by my house. One afternoon me and my mate picked 800!

Think they grow sept/oct.
