Liberty Cap UK ID

Today was a a weird one, sitting in the park smoking after work talking about our prospective mushroom gathering trip with our local guide when something caught my eye. To me this looks like a semilanceata. I could never be sure with my very limited knowledge so i hope these pics are enough for a positive ID.
I found this mushroom in Short - medium length grassland, it had dark grey almost black gills when i found it with a 5cm in length light brown stem drying slightly darker with some slight bruising at the root of the mushroom. The Head of the mushroom measures at 1 cm across.
happy hunts

If Im lucking in feilds that have wide veriety of mushies in already does it make my chances alot better? X

Not a Massive hall, about 20-30 libs at that spot in the park and when i got there they were cutting the grass...i do not make a habit of running, usually only from police but luckily i got there in time. Spurred on by my find i started making tracks around some of our countryside yesterday and today, unfortunately all i got was wet feet and 3 libs!

Nice one. What altitude was this found at? Just went out looking today, but didn't find any. I'm on sea level, give or take.

The patch i found which i took 200 from was miles away from where that specimen in the picture came from, however it was probably around the same level in terms of sea. Im from the midlands in the UK and that averages between 100-150 metres above sea level, at a guess i reckon that spot was around 120 metres above sea level.
By the way i had a mind bending trip yesterday, thats what i've been waiting for since i got back from Thailand 4 months ago. Brewed up about 60 of them but nothing on what i was experiencing from the Thai shrooms eating them fresh, probably increase the dose next time and see if i can unlock a new world.
