Heya, I've shroomed a bit in the past and have been reading up and researching liberty caps and other species all year and i just cant wait for the season to get started... I went out yesterday and didn't have any luck with liberty caps though it still is quite warm, but i did stumble across some interesting mushrooms though, i cant remember the exact habitats but the red and yellow one was on a north facing slope, in a field which had medium length grass and quite a lot of dew. (picture quality isn't too good as it was with my phone)
Specimen 1)
Specimen 2)
(found growing under some trees around rotting wood)
Specimen 3)
(Found on the same field as the first specimen)
Specimen 4)
(Found in some grass to the side of a path, growing from the soil)

1 is a Hygrocybe, probably H. conica, 4 is Paneolina foenisecii. You should read the instructions on how to do a proper ID request though, it's often not possible to make an ID from pics alone.

Yes, the first 4 photos are Hygrocybe, though I do not see any black staining on the red ones, so I would guess H. punicea, H. coccinea, H. splendidissima, or H. aurantiosplendens.
Mike, Please read the Mushroom Hunting Forum Rules before posting:
II. Accurate mushroom descriptions
It is critical that you describe mushrooms fully and accurately in order to get a proper identification.
A good picture of the mushrooms is invaluable, but not required.
Along with the pictures YOU ARE REQUIRED to provide the following data:
* Habitat (where [woods, pasture, state,province,country, altitude] and what [soil, dung, wood (dead, living, what kind of wood?)] does it grow on)
* Characteristics of the gills (color, attached/not, gills/pores, etc)
* Characteristics of the stem (length, diameter, color, texture, hollow/solid, thin/thick, etc)
* Characteristics of the cap (diameter,color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc)
* Spore print color (very important!)
* Color that the mushroom bruises
* Scent of the mushroom
* Anything else you might find important
For a template ID request please see this thread.
For more detailed guidelines for describing your finds, please view this document.
For an explanation of mycological terms please refer to this document .
