ID please - possible liberty caps?
    #18905900 - 09/29/13 05:53 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Hi all,



Many thanks for helping me last year, I'm back again. Very sorry I can't give the same amount of detail as my previous posts - I just grabbed these when I saw them and shoved them in my pocket and wasn't able to get them out (won't go into why) until now, 24 hours later. There was tissue in my pocket, which may have speeded up their drying out I suppose.

I notice that three of them have a pronounced nipple on top and I have put them together on the right in this picture.

Habitat:
Where does it grow?
Village park, between football (soccer) pitch and the (resting) cricket pitch. Far south of England, altitude - generic, a bit above sea level, not hills or mountains or anything.
What does it grow on? in Standard parkland grass about four inches high

Gills:
Color, attached/not, gills/pores, etc.
Didn't see them when they were fresh. Presumably can't accurately fill this in.

Stem:
Length, diameter, color, texture, hollow/solid, thin/thick, etc.
Stems were all thin, a couple of millimetres or so. Can't really say more than that.


Cap:
Diameter, color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc.
As picture. When picked they varied but were in the region of say half a centimetre in diameter. Sorry I can't be more specific aabout shape, texture etc - they are a lot drier now than when picked and although some were definitely say bronze-coloured, and some were sticky, and some had very white stems, I can in no way identify which were which now. Sorry!

Spore print color:
Very important!
They have dried out a lot, so I guess I can't do on now?

Bruising:
Color that the mushroom bruises, if any.
Again, dried out quite a lot now, so don't think I can do this.

Other information:
Scent of the mushroom, anything else you think is important, large close-up pictures showing stem, cap and gills.
See picture.

OVERALL: I might pop back at a less crowded time and try to pick some more and do a better description and phot of fresh samples. Sorry again - hope to do a better post like my other previous ones if I do.

I understand if there is not enough info to go on, apologies for wasting anyone's time.

Too dried for an accurate ID me thinks. likely Protostropharia semiglobata

Pain is temporary. It may last for a minute or an hour or a day or even a year but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it will last forever.

Could you take some clear photos of each individual specimen, not all of them just enough to get a closer look at the details.

Thanks for the info - yes, pity they are so dry. Here are bigger pics of some, I managed to drop the scanner lid down so some got even more squashed, but the first is two of the ones from the right in the original pic, and other has one in the middle that looks like it has a bit ofa nipple on top, it was over on the left in the original pic.

hopefully they will magnify up a bit better than the original pic.

cheers

I'm not so sure. The stems on 2 out of 3 look rather meaty.

I'd consider these unidentifiable.

There's no way to be sure, dude. Just because a dried mushroom looks like a dried liberty cap, doesn't mean that it actually is one. Nearly all lbm's look the same when dried.

Btw, given your apparent minimal experience with liberty caps, I'd consider refraining from giving advice on identification of this species.
