thanks for the replies
how about any of these? Are any of the mushrooms in questions psychoactive?
Confusing as i ate about 30 of these fresh (i knew they were not poisonous) and had a rather pleasant trip, not too strong maybe level 2-3. However i wasn't sure if they were libs or a psychoactive lookalike.....

Please show us a shot of the gills. I would imagine all the shots in your first post are Protostropharia semiglobata, and the ones in your second look similar but it's a blurry shot.
They are not psychoactive or really toxic but they are not considered good to eat.
I have questions for you: Have you taken magic mushrooms before? How come you "knew they were not poisonous"? Please can you describe the trip?

Read up on Placebo Effect
Please don't eat mushrooms that you don't know what they are
If you guess wrong... Could be poisoned, sick or die or take too much of a magic mushroom

I don't have the pictures of the gills anymore, however I have just checked out 'semiglobata' and they look like the ones I picked. Yes i have taken them many times, just never picked myself before, or had a lib cap experience. Well as far as I'm aware there aren't any poisonous mushrooms that resemble lib caps that grow in fields, I have done quite about of research on here about liberty caps, but remain a novice on the subject They seem very similar, nipple, olive cap, white stems, bell shaped... One thing though, they had a thick layer of goo which was really slimy all over the stem and cap, does the liberty cap also share this trait? The trip Well I was hiking in the lake District at the time, and high up on the mountains I came across thousands of lib cap looking mushrooms (to my untrained eyes at least). So I ate my fair share, could of even been up to 50 I was just sort of grazing on them as I went. I didn't get my hopes up, I honestly thought they would just be an inactive lookalike so I was surprised on the descent when the landscape was swaying and moving all my senses were heightened. I could see words and letters when I looked at things, something I nearly always get on shrooms. In the pub at the foot of the mountain people also turned into strange creatures, again something I always get on shrooms. It lasted I would say about 3 hours.
Perhaps I picked a few libs as well...

Not edible, possibly toxic. Here's some further reading: http://www.mushroomexpert.com/mycenoid.html

Do yourself a favour, ditch that rule of thumb and learn to be diligent, there are small Inocybe, Entoloma, Hypholoma, Mycena, Galerina... and maybe you would find other things growing from a buried substrate; what you say looks like a lib is in the air if you ate those Protostropharia. You know you're a novice, please next time don't be so stupid.

No, liberty caps have a gelatinous pellicle which is separable, an incurved margin, adnexed rather than adnate gills and a fibrous stem.
