Mushroom ID - do liberty caps sometimes have white gills?
    #18971369 - 10/13/13 08:25 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Hi!

I'm in the UK and found a few (things I'm pretty sure are) libs at a field I know to produce them. Among these were a couple of mushrooms with white gills, as compared to the dark gills of most of the ones I find. Otherwise, they looked very much like liberty caps should. Does this mushroom have white gills sometimes? Could it be an age thing?

Unfortunately the mushrooms are now dry, but I've uploaded pics. The 3 ones on the left (photo 1)/ right (photos 2 and 3) are examples of (what I think are) libs that I normally get from there. The 2 on the other side are the white-gilled examples. These also show more blueing, though both mushrooms show some...

Thanks for any help!



Habitat:
Grazed field where libs grow

Gills:
White, see photo

Stem:
~3cm, wavy, creamy gold as cap top of cap, blue toward base

Cap:
~8mm diameter, cream going gold at top, clear nipple at top

Spore print color:
Didn't do this while fresh and now dry so not sure I'll get anything, but can try...

Bruising:
Blueing at base of cap and base of stem, more than other 'libs' I've found at the site

In my experience, roughly 0.1% of the liberty caps are sterile. The sterile ones have white gills.

Probably just young or sterile.

Can't tell with these pics though.

Sterile libs is what those are.

Here's a recent example that I found:

Note the similarity between the above pic and the mushrooms in OP's post. The pics in OP's post are obviously pretty bad, but I'm pretty sure they are a couple of sterile libs.

It isn't all that common either though, given the gazillions of non-sterile libs people post here. :hatsoff:
