First time hunting, identification help.

So i've been reading a lot, but couldn't find information on how or where to find them Northeast Turkey(Europe).
I went out and to the city forest which is next to a lake. All mushrooms were collected under trees, some of them were on loose soil others on normal soil. All were collected under oak trees, that was the only place i could find any fungi.
All these mushrooms are on the same sheet, i took a couple of pictures hoping the experienced mycologists or experienced hunters could tell me if i found any active mushrooms.

No actives.
What species are you targeting? Do actives occur in Turkey?

i believe L-tryptophan does in fact occur in turkey
sorry im tired, i tried doing a google search but because of the popularity of turkey tails, and turkey and mushroom recipes, its almost a lost cause, the most relevant thing i found linked back to the shroomery which didnt have much info

edit:, panaeaolus cintulus is almost a sure bet anywhere, try searching horse poop

Try PMing a member named Shrine. Here's a link to a thread where he has found Psilocybe subaeruginascens in Cape Town, South Africa. He's probably closer than anyone on the western hemisphere to your physical location. Which tells me this Psilocybe probably occurs in your area as well. Good luck. Not a whole lot of information on your area.

I think you took a wrong turn at Albuquerque (or at least have your geography mixed up). South Africa is about as close to Turkey as you are (in Washington) to Peru.
As for actives in Turkey, I think the options are limited. Mushrooms are generally scarce in dry climates. Panaeolus cinctulus and Gymnopilus species are probably the best bets.

In the European part of Turkey, you might find anything from P. cinctulus and Gymnopilus to P. semilanceata and P. serbica. All of those have been found in Greece. But you said Northeast, which would be deep in Asia. It's possible they would grow there too, but there's just not enough information.

It wouldn't surprise me. I never was any good about geography. I did google it but I thought maybe it was worth a try. Thanks for correcting me though.

Northeast? Whoopsie i thought i typed northwest, Sakarya to be specific, which gets a lot of rain during the year(and it used to get really heavy pours during the summer but that's not been happening for 4-5 years now). But still its a humid subtropical climate.
I wanna thank all you guys for taking your time and replying to this,(and also keeping me from poisoning myself) i've seen the replies during the day, but i was working hence i couldn't reply.
@Tas75 Well i'm not targeting anything specific other than psychoactive(are they called that?) fungi in general, i went picking in hopes of finding the conic shaped ones (semilanceata i believe, and many others as well with the same shape). But the fungi kingdom seems so big, and without knowledge no other than a "Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World" e-book from Paul Stamets on my tablet, I almost got lost on my hunting trip due to the lack of preparation i've done before the hunting. The big one being didn't bring food or water with me. So i got tired pretty fast.
@idenseek1 Yeah "Turkey Tails" comes up a lot. Makes really hard sifting through the results i tried a google query which looked like this: site:shroomery.org turkey -tail -tale -tails -cold -bags -jive -protest -cooking -stuffed identification
And for anyone else who is on the same quest, there is good news; i found little academic research information on this which leads me to believe there is more but just undiscovered yet.
I would love to compile a list of the findings and present them here for future hunters like me, but the research papers are all hosted on a government domain and i don't think it's a good idea hotlinking a government domain. I'll try to download and re-upload them on to the shroomery server. They're all written in english so i think that will add a little to the community.

OP,
The reason I asked is because if you're targeting libs and manure species like Panaeolus cinctulus, you should be looking in pasture, not under trees. They're probably your best bet.
Anything you find will be interesting, there's not much known about Turkish mushrooms. I just looked at a tourism brochure. If I were you I'd be concentrating on highland pastures, if there are any nearby, and manure in warmer, lowland areas. Have a look at threads in this site to see what Panaeolus species look like, it will help.
