Liberty Caps/Psilocybe Semilanceata ID Request
    #18788202 - 09/02/13 03:33 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Pretty sure all of these are liberty caps apart from the big ones, which I'm unsure of. I've not yet come across ones this big (as I'm new to this!). Am I right in saying these are all liberty caps? A confident identification would be much appreciated.

You should make a spore print when you are unsure, I think they might all be liberty caps but a print will never hurt. What area of the world are you located?

There are a number of liberty caps in the fourth shot. Some are not. If you can take close-ups of those we can ID them. In all the other shots, the largest ones might be an Agrocybe, and there are some other LBMs in there.

Is Scotland at the moment. There is a disused golf course right next to where my grandparents live (Aberdeenshire).

Here are the mushrooms. I've numbered them. Hopefully this helps:

I think you're good to go. Most of the larger ones look rather expanded which is throwing me, but those might even be P. strictipes. The stems are helping, as is the blueing here and there (eg #2). Can you confirm the larger ones have a separable pellicle?

Yes the pellicle on #1 through #5 is separable. Was a struggle to test this as they are very fragile - picked 6 hours ago and I'm trying to dry them as fast as possible because travelling tomorrow.
The expansion on the larger ones threw me off too, but since I found them in close proximity to #6 through #12 I assumed they were the same species.

What makes you say 1 and 5?
I can see that the head on #1 is not as rounded as a typical semi but I found it very close to other ones that I know to be liberty caps.
#5 has the same sort of buckling or expansion, though not as pronounced. Are they active and/or edible or are they poisonous? Should I keep them or not?

No worries mate. Your the one helping me out here!
So all liberty caps you reckon? Are they all active/edible? Just want to be extra certain - I'm new to this, and this is only my second bounty :confused:

Nice find! :thumbup:
Personally, I'd eat every single one of them, they look delicious.

IMO they are all semilanceata, I have found several of these larger mushrooms with expanded caps in "clusters" of semilanceata.

Thanks mate. Those were my thoughts as well. I just didn't have the experience behind me. Cheers!
