Now that I'm in the city though I'm not sure the pickings will be as rich. I missed out last year's season because of the house move.

Are there any good grassy areas around Ballinlough/Douglas/Mahon for mushrooms? That Clover Hill Park on Skehard Road looks relatively wild and unfertilised, is that any good?

Clover hill park is effectively a dog park.... because it's enclosed. I have not seen any mushrooms there.
