Possible Cyanescens and Libs

Went for a walk here...

Was lovelyyyy.
and i found these! bunches and bunches of these. They resemble Liberty caps, but they were big. (you can see the spores on top of it left from a bigger one above it, they look very mature)


I also found a bunch of what i believe to be libs.. including one of the larger ones i found in the pictures above.

And then... the cyanescens. Im very skeptical because it is still rather warm and well i found them in a field kind of. It is high up in the derbyshire dales and there are big holes where there used to be mines. I found these kind of in one of these holes, so it would be cooler. But i know they like to grow in wood chips.



anyway. if anyone could help me out, would be great . Cheers Monk.. Ps.. get outside. its a great day

The pics are great, much better than the usual fare. Unfortunately your mushroom collection contains neither libs or cyans.
Edit: Perhaps one or two in your collection could be libs. Closer photos of the gills would tell for sure. You have several species in that pile.

Can you get closer photos with shots of the gills on these two?

It's never easy to find any kind of mushroom when you want to really. They grow where they want to grow and if you spend enough time looking in many locations for them you eventually find them. It definitely requires patience for this reason. It helps to enjoy the process as it can take a long time. The benefit with libs is that it's easy to track down a specific habitat that you should be able to find them in. So it's just a matter of looking through enough of them until you find one where they are growing. But even then they can be very difficult to see. Much harder than pans etc.

That's close enough to see they are not libs. Probably Panaeolus. Keep hunting bud! Don't let it get you down. Like Untitled said, enjoy the time outside and eventually it will pay off.

Prostropharia semiglobata i think. Edit: On second thoughts I'm not sure anymore.

The texture and consistency of the stem as well as the gill color set them apart Monkshroom.
