Are these Lib Caps?

What's up everyone! With all the wet and coldish weather we're getting here in Ireland I decided to go out and see if anything was growing. After about 15 minutes I came across this lot! I'm nearly 100% certain they're lib caps but because I'm relatively new to mushroom hunting Id like a second opinion to confirm Thanks!

Found them in a field in the country side. The ground is wet, the weather is fairly cold, and there isn't anything grazing there. I found them in the same place last year but I wanted a second opinion before I go eating them! Better safe than sorry haha!

Haha thanks yeah I'm nearly 100% sure they're Lib caps now. They look identical to the Libs I found last year and the ends are turning blue. No real red lights to be found! I'm just surprised they're popping up this early here. It's usually into September or late August at earliest! Thanks for the help

@AHunter
Hah, don't thank just me, thank everyone here (with a Trusted ID Badge ^^) That's really cool hah, yeah they turn blue on the bottoms of the stipe sometimes!.... Other parts, I'm NOT sure! But what do you mean by "real Red lights"? Like the Fuzz? the Popo? The police you mean or what? BECAUSE I think I read somewhere that the UK was patrolling pastures (Face palm) and I dunno if ANYONE got arrested for possession!

Haha your absolutely right! Thanks to everyone for the help By red lights I just meant that I can't see anything to do with the shroom that says it's not a Lib cap! I had no clue they were patrolling pastures over there!!!! Sounds a bit over dramatic if you ask me haha! @pinneapple3 Some more rain would be great alright. Hopefully more will start popping up in the next few weeks!!!

Congratulations on your findings, were there any animals in that field (ever)?
