Help Identifying

Habitat: Grazing fields, Somerset, UK.
This is my first time out picking hoping to find liberty caps but quickly realised it wasn't as simple as id hoped. The mushrooms i found were difficult for me identifying and had many similarities in colour and size so I picked all types in hope to learn and get advice before going out again with a better understanding of what types are safe.
I have uploaded a selection of pictures here http://www.shroomery.org/forums/upload.php?action=viewthumb&folder=First+time+out+picking.

I see some liberty caps in this picture - https://files.shroomery.org/files/15-36/104012146-IMAG0684.jpg
The other ones are all Panaeolus or Panaeolina. Some may be Panaeolus cinctulus.

Ah. So Iv looked them up and read a little about them and learned that they also contain psilocybin, well the Panaeolina are only reported to contain the hallucinogen. Yet I'm not sure if they are all safe for consumption the Wiki content doesn't suggest otherwise. What would you suggest?

I've never eaten a Panaeolus, but as for the liberty caps, 1.5 grams dry was more than enough for me. They dry well just by leaving them out for a few days, spread out on some paper.

This.
Or what i've started doing is oven on the lowest with the door ajar no loss in potency noticed yet, this is a gas oven too so it's pretty bloody hot even on the lowest, 10-15 minutes it takes i then transfer then into the freezer in a container for 20 minutes then into packaging with silica overnight, they can then be stored however you like, i dunno about fan ovens but with this gas one it's really fast and really efficient
-------------------- I give you the choice of 2 pills.
With each containing one of the following: Cyanide... Psilocin... Would you take the risk? Didn't think so. This is why Positive Identification prior to consumption is important.

There may be some gastrointestinal issues, as there can be with any mushrooms. I've never had any, but psychedelics generally seem to give me stomach cramps sometimes.

Dehydrator works very well. I've taken P. cinctulus a few times without any issue. They taste like butt though. Pan foes shouldn't be any harsher on the stomach than cincts I think.
