Newbie looking for mushroom ID's (UK)
    #19030089 - 10/25/13 08:53 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Hi there
I have been browsing the forum / site for a while as I've been seeing a few mushrooms about since spending more time walking through fields lately and its taken me back to my younger days when mushroom eating was an occasional treat.
I am wondering if what Im seeing in the fields are in fact Liberty Caps.
Ive been looking at the pictures on this site and others around the net and the mushrooms im seeing do look similar to some of those confirmed and posted as Liberty Caps on here however, im not convinced they are as they don't seem to have a distinctive nipple on top and are slightly more domed.
Any way I picked a few, and took some pics of others as I found them and was hoping someone could ID them for me.  So here goes:

Batch 1
These were found bunched closely together.






 
Habitat:
United Kingdom - South West
Short grassed cow grazing fields.

Gills:
See pics for details

Stem:
See pics for colour details.  Stem length - largest 6cm

Cap:
See pics for colour / shape. Diameter - largest 3cm

Spore print color:
Not completed

Bruising:
Not really noticed any. Stems seem to be dark brown in places where they have broken.

Batch 2
These were found in the same field but close to the perimeter hedge rows.
As you will see from the pics they are nicely domed without any noticeable nipple / cap.  I didn't pick any of these.





As I didn't pick these I don't have any measurements or specific details however they were no bigger than the largest from batch 1.

As mentioned above they were found in the same field as batch 1 but in front and along a perimeter hedgerow separating two fields.

Batch 3



Only found 3 of these together.  A lot darker than the others.
Again found in the same cow fields as batches 1 & 2

Long thin brown stems 6 - 8 cm in length.
Darker brown gills
Cap Diameter - Largest 2cm.

Batch 4
I did find one more batch, very similar in shape to the others but a lot smaller and lighter than the rest but with a yellow colour on the cap.  I do have a picture of these but didn't think it necessary to post it at this time.

As a complete newbie with no hunting / foraging experience what so ever I wouldn't be at all surprised if the experienced among you tell me none of these are Liberty Caps. But, they do look similar to some of the pictures ive looked at and saved for reference however I appreciate that there are some mushrooms out there that look very similar so I thought id post and at least it will give me some idea of what im seeing on my travels.

Thanks for looking and I hope ive followed most of the rules before posting.

Cheers.

Looks like Psathyrella and then some pan sp.

But will wait for someone smarter and more knowledgable

I'm thinking the same but see if someone who doesn't smell dank comes along.
