Ah it's been ages since I've last been here! Hello shrooooomery!
Found over the weekend in South West of England. Nearby Ford!
Can anyone give me any further ID on this? Might go out this weekend to take some better pictures and obviously pick more hahaha!
I can't seem to find a match to any psilocybin mushroom but they look pretty similar - or that could just be my placebo haha.
They seem to have a soft brown 'make up color' when young but grow out of it and it leaves a 'lighter patch' in the middle top of the mushroom.
Did have a spore print and it seems black. I can't seem to find any purple hint.
Cheers guys.

Jesus that was quick as fuck haha. Shroomery is kicken and alive it seems. These look exactly similar http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/19012008#19012008.
Let me google your reply!
Edit: Just had a quick google images search. Can't seem to find much resemblance. Here is one pic that matches the little ones though: http://www.messiah.edu/oakes/fungi_on_wood/gilled%20fungi/images/Psathyrella%20hydrophila1%20SN.jpg
So poisonous?

I think User_7 is correct, compare to Psathyrella candolleana.

They do look similar, but those ones are a Panaeolus species. The clue is in the stem, these ones are lighter, slightly thicker and more brittle. In fact the English name for Psathyrellas is Brittlestems! There's also a clue in the stem as to why they're not Liberty Caps. Libs will have a whitish stem - like those, but thin - like the Panaeolus you linked, and much less brittle than either. Apparently you should be able to wrap it around your finger without it snapping, although I don't remember that ever working for me. It will also likely be somewhat wavy.
Then of course there's the sharp nipple you need to look out for. Some Libs don't have it but most will and none of those do.
It's probably a bit early for Libs in your locality given the hot weather. Edit: - Just checked the weather, it's colder than I thought. Now's the time! You want temps constantly bellow 15 in the day and 10 at night for a week or so before you'll find them. Keep at it

Ah thanks man! It's been a long time since I've found such helpful input on the internet! Kudos to you!
Definitely agree that they aren't liberty caps.
I'm off to get some sleep! Have a good day/night!
