Could anyone tell me if any of these guys are libs? Found them around 380-400m in a field with sheep.

Went to a place with horses, who all paid me a visit which was amazing, so days are still good. just wish I could join these who are finding them by the bucket. I was going to meet Blazeyy but he stopped private messaging for some reason, so Blazeyy get in touch?
Happy hunting everyone
He's probably protecting his turf? Kind of sad if true as the mushroom teaches us to share and embrace life in all it's glory...not to be secret, hide or do all the negative things that the establishment does.
Where are you based, I'm happy to have a wingman if you're up for it.

Looks like a fair amount of Stropharia semiglobata, perhaps a Panaeolus or two top left. Not entirely sure about the two darker/wider ones on the bottom row but would be interesting to look at the two on the bottom row/right-hand end from a couple of different angles if possible. Were you picking directly out of dung? There looks like a lot of dung-loving species there.

Any idea what these are? All found within inches of groups of libs, do larger libs lose their nipple?

Im assuming these are all Libs?

Found in sheep grazing area, covered in $hit, high altitude (Approx 360m above sea level) in longish grass

FUCK yeah, those are libs... not sure if every single one of them are libs, someone with a brain can help you... but yeah, you scored good.

Bottom pic looks like a good haul . Some large liberty caps have a very pronounced nipple whilst others sometimes not so much or at all, they're a variable bunch when it comes to cap shape. Most in the other pic are also libs but if unsure about the larger ones you can either try and moisten them and look out for the change back to a dingy olive green colour, get a spore print and look for the purple brown and if you manage to rehydrate (doesn't always work too well) try and peel the cap. Should be a detachable see-through membrane; this is really an important feature, try and do it with any you're unsure of as you pick.
The two largest ones where only the top of the cap and the other with only visible gills; couldn't say from that picture alone. need another angle. This your first pick?

Mostly no libs, just quite a bit of Stropharia sp. but it was just the two on the bottom right corner I'm not 100% on. They do look interesting. Perhaps someone else has a better idea. You're definitely looking in the right places though given what you've picked.

I had a quick look yesterday and found one or two while walking the dog, but today was my first proper hunt, for about an hour and a half. Still wary while picking with the odd walker around!
Were due heavy rain in the area next tuesday and wednesday so im going to go back afterwards and give it a proper go, only done around the paths of a large field for them, seems like a good spot.
Ill have a search for the technique of peeling the cap to see the membrance
Thanks for your help, think im getting addicted. Also cultivating some B+ for the first time

I assume this is what you mean by the membrane? Or separable gelatinous pellicle 
Great tip, thanks

Good going man for a first proper hunt! Given what you've said the spot sounds pretty perfect. I also pick in some quite public spots (inner-city Ps.cyanescens) and have to deal with many nosey walkers, worth learning a few other mushrooms (edibles) and a few latin names; if someone asks just throw some terminology around and watch them glaze over. It can become a bit of a life-consuming hobby once you start identifying others . Good luck with the hunts and the grow.

Are there any worth keeping? These are close ups of the 2 in bottom right corner

Went for a walk today to see my spots and two of them had grass trimmed !
Next spot, nothing there, not even a single mushroom of any species... And at the end got chased by cows :/
Went for last spot... Found Blackening Waxcaps only and some Panaeolina not so many mushies on such large field... Guess it's still too warm and not moist enough! And on that field I found four suspicious looking ones, making spore print just to be sure...
Pretty unlucky run today meh... need couple of weeks more I guess. (east mids)

I was highly depressed at the beginning of the year too, my doctor tried to get me on the anti depressants but i ended up turning them down.
What up Zak!? I'm happy to hear you turned them down! Perscriptions for SSRI's are often made on the assumption that your depression is serotonin related and can further mess up the brain soup. It also dulls the psychedelic experience in the case of most substances including shroomies!
But I was in those boots the sad squelchy everything is pointless boots, but the best advice I can give and I was spouting this all last year as well..
Omega3, high in EPA and DHA. The brain is mostly made of fat, DHA! Neural pathways are made from DHA! EPA increases serotonin naturally. Taken from fish sources is best!
Magnesium, hard to obtain through food alone because it is depleted in soil from the rape and pillage of the earth. A supplement will do brilliantly, preferably magnesium citrate. I really mean it, it's amazing. Magnesium is an electrolyte and is used in production of serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, GABA.
L-Tyrosine + vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) L-Tyrosine is an amino acid found in loads of food, available as a supplement and highly beneficial for eleviating depression as it converts into dopamine and norepinephrine with the help of pyridoxine. Does wonders for JamaicOvers after heavy canabis use to! Can also increase the high from canabis with regular use!
If it's anxiety related an amino acid in green tea can help. L-Theanine, brilliant stuff! Also available as a supplement!
Any amino acids used for depression should be taken on an empty stomach with pyridoxine!
I can't recommend these tips enough do any depressive tendencies, there is nothing worse than living with depression and these are completely natural and help do so so much!
Yo matey! you was the fella who ID'd my libs last year You good? Liked your Liberty Cap hymn... Will certainly be singing that one at the fire.
I think it was almost an inevitable decision for me to turn them down, Part of my depression stemmed from a total resentment to the way the system is being operated, Pharmaceutical drugs being one of them. I began waking up to what we have been almost programmed to eat in a typical western diet. All about fresh produce and lots of fruit now. I do not eat meat anymore either, pretty much full vegan apart from the occasional temptation of one of my mums pecan brownies... 
About the Fish oil, i did make the decision to not shun that off because of becoming vegan i was using this one, for a good year but stopped using it. http://www.greenpasture.org/public/Products/SkateLiverOil/ you have refreshed how good that shit is. The first few days of using them i was experiencing cold turkey sweats in my sleep from how strong the antioxidants got to work. I presume this will have a good level of EPA and DPA too? Need to get some more, this stuffs supposed to be a good pineal gland decalcifier.
With the Magnesium i think ive been getting a good source of from the spinach and chard we are growing in the garden, Its the popeye piff wiffy! throwing lots of it in smoothies when in season. I think im going to get a blood test analysis to check im not lacking in any thing this year, will probably get some more magnesium supplements just to be careful. When i first found out about magnesiums link with depression i was eating waaay too much cashews haha  If i had the money id be drinking coconut water every morning too, not only is it divine but thats incredibly high in electrolytes.
I didnt know about L-Tyrosine + vitamin B6, have taken note and might have to include some of that to the supplement shopping list.
Cheers for that all though man, you got a good heart to get in that much information for the aid of a fellow human being on a forum, the fact its a psilocybin based forum has a connection i bet!

Everything i write on both the forums and private messages are just the ramblings of a troubled mind, and are purely fictitious.
