Hi all, first time post here from a complete newbie. The hubbie and I went mushroom hunting today for the first time, looking for liberty caps. Hopefully we've found some. As we are really new at this, I was hoping some more experienced members can help us identify them - they were all found in the same field. When I got home, there appeared to be four different types:

Habitat: Grassy field. Field has sheep in it. Grew in grass, near droppings. Gills: Purply brown, ascending into cap and crowded. Stem: flexible, fine, 6 - 7cm long, pale golden, brusing to brown Cap: Smooth, conical, 1cm long x .75cm wide, pronounced nipple on top, golden in colour with small brown striated margin Spore print colour: dark brown Bruising: on stem, golden to brown Location: west England, near Welsh border. Scent: very subtle, grassy and mushroomy.

I'm a myconoob, so here's my guess: 1 and 3 look to me like libs.
-------------------- In ancient times, when demons roamed with man, They hunted, loved and lost, hand in hand, As time went on, the difference between them faded. You couldn't tell anymore, demons and man were related, and some would say the same, but who would like to claim? In time, Gods had even forgot, Demons, too, once love had sought. In times recent I remember, Once I was a man, In my heart I had an ember, I'll relate the best I can but it was snuffed, one distant December. And yet here I stand, no flesh, no bones, no seed or semen, All that's left is this Demon.

PS: Try not pulling the whole mushroom base up next time.

Many species take it well, but seeing how Psilocybe semilanceta mycelium is very fragile and delicate it's better to treat it gently. I've seen a whole field going from full of libs to none within 3 years because it was discovered and raped by some punks.
