My guess is no, mainly judging by the somewhat translucent stipe.
Hard to tell what it is though.

Have to agree with Anglerfish. Hard to tell what is, maybe a Conocybe.

@ Flux, Anglerfish and Oboy:

Thanks for your replies! Since I didn't find any other libs on this particular field, it probably isn't a liberty pin I suppose...
This is my first year hunting, and it's realy fun!

@Jefke thanks, hope the pics help you, so you can compare finds :biggrin:

:biggrin:

- i also would say its a conocybe pin, definitly no lib, but its close :tongue:

:tongue:

so don´t give it up^^

@Libertyking-
I mostly look in fields where the grass is a bit longer, i don´t know but our shorter fields aren´t producing that fine, hope your season drops in this way the next days too :laugh:

:laugh:

@psilosymon-
then i think the season should start in your area soon too,i heard from LK that he allready found his first one :wink:

:wink:

i know canada is very big but that could be a sign

I learned something yesterday:
hunting on a Sunday + clear blue sky = frustrating!

The massive amount of hitchhikers and tourists (the sauerland is a pretty touristic area) made me feel unconfortable while inspecting the pastures. There were people EVERYWHERE!! :mad2:

:mad2:

On top of that the sun just annoyed me. I couldn't see shit and I feel like the sun helped the little ones to hide behide grass bushes.

But don't think I will give up that easy :smile:

:smile:

The search must go on!

I guess you'd need a microscope to safely separate P. strictipes from P. semilanceata.
The variety of shapes among liberty caps is quite astonishing, and some specimens
will lack one or more of the typical features.

Thanks Anglerfish!

I've got another question (and please tell me if I should post this elsewhere):

There is a beautiful narrow valley where I live, and to me it looks perfect for finding liberty caps.
The only possible downside is that it is a limestone area.
Does someone know if this could scare away the libs(due to the lime raising ph)?
Mind that there are cows and horses grazing here, so lots of natural fertilization.
Here are some pics:

I would say the area looks good, but you got the point with the limestone, p. semilanceata avoids areas with limestone, you can try your luck but you should be miore succesfull in another area.

Success! The season has a lift off around here...

Yesterday I spotted an interesting pasture, very narrow next to a forest:

First thing I did this morning was try my luck, and yes indeed, lucky I was:

My first Liberty Cap ever! It's a special feeling isn't it? :smile:

:smile:

There were a lot of small caps and pins, I realy had to watch not to crush them with my feet. On top of that, I only searched about 20% of the entire pasture. So my guess is that I will find at least 3 times as many on this particular field.

Some more pics:

I'll hope to find many more, and will post pics of my findings.

Good luck to all my fellow psychonauts!

Very Nice finds and congrats!

The "HUNT" is so addictive for me I love it! Every time I make a find it's like the rush I got the 1st time I found them!

Be safe & have fun... I'm sure we will be looking forward to many more posts from you! Good luck hunting! :hatsoff:

Nice finding, congratulations!

I hunted today with 2 good friends and we found just around 50 fruitbodys but they are such beautys, love em=)

I printed the 8 bestlooking caps, so if anyone is interested in liberty prints from lower saxony just hit me.

Good luck all hunters, this is going to be a good season=)
