I don't think those are liberty caps, from what I can tell those are almost pure white.
My advice for you this to look at this link. Familiarize yourself with the species you are hunting the more you research the better your odds.
Your in a great area for hunting.

Conocybe cyanopus*** Pholiotina smithii*** Gymnopilus aeruginosus** Gymnopilus luteofolius* Gymnopilus junonius** Gymnopilus viridans** Gymnopilus liquiritiae*** Panaeolus cinctulus* Panaeolus olivaceus** Psilocybe azurescens* Psilocybe baeocystis** Psilocybe cyanofibrillosa*** Psilocybe allenii** Psilocybe cyanescens* Psilocybe fimetaria*** Psilocybe liniformans var. americana*** Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata** Psilocybe pelliculosa* Psilocybe semilanceata* Psilocybe sierrae*** Psilocybe silvatica** Psilocybe strictipes** Psilocybe stuntzii**

I've seen it done once before, it was strip of a cork board and they were tacked up similar to that with a fan going on them.

Liberty caps don't grow on dung In the grass... Read: http://www.shroomery.org/12510/Psilocybe-semilanceata
Advice... Learn what mushrooms grow where you are, read up on their habitat, and learn to do a spore print
Good luck and good hunting!
