Psilocybe cyanescens DOES grow in the UK from woodchips. (The kind found around flower beds.)

A different species called Panaeolus cyanescens (= Copelandia cyanescens) does not, and only grows in tropical climates from dung.

They both contain psilocybin but have very different appearances and habitats. Hope that helps to clear up any confusion!

Late last summer I dug up a very overgrown rockery & then leveled it all off & mixed about 4 large bags of manure into it, ready to plant vegetables this year, which I never really got around to apart from on a small part of the patch. Anyways the majority has been left fallow adjacent to our lawn, when I went out today to do some weeding in preparation to plant some more veg I noticed quite a lot of mushrooms - que excitement .
At first I thought it was way to early for Liberty caps & then I found this thread, here are some photos I just took. I'd really appreciate it if some of you experts could help ID them. If they aren't is there a chance that if I leave the land as it is I may get Liberty caps growing there in a few weeks/months time?

I have more photos if you need them, thanks a lot.

It's been a great weekend for finding libs on my little walks, they are still massively outnumbered by a lot of other mushrooms but I have passed the 100 mark. 
Dinner tonight included a Vascellum pratense and lots of raspberries, and I just found some nice Suillus grevillei for breakfast. I feel blessed. To top the weekend off my visitors made pictures using Coprinus ink:

After seeing this thread I decided to go for a walk and I found this:

Is it a lib cap?

UK Explorer said:Has anyone had a mooch down to the woods as of yet? Is there plenty of non-active growth there?
They're looking good. I was walking in woods and fields in another part of Wales, found no libs in the fields, having chosen that spot for altitude, type of grass, sheep shit and other factors that made it similar to my patch. Anyway the woods were jam packed but I came away with just a handful of nonsense (mainly Boletus luridus) so I could still climb fences.
