Liberty Caps? Iceland
    #22183724 - 09/03/15 04:31 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Hi there

Complete noob here! I've been hunting for Liberty Caps here in Iceland for a few days (it's mushroom season, and apparently Iceland gets bumper crops), and came across a big patch of different types of mushrooms on one piece of lawn. There were quite a few different types, so i just took photos of some of the more likely candidates and will post them below in order of likelihood.

Curious thing: a lot of the LBMs looked like they had been set alight - they were shrivelled up charred little black things, and the grass around it looked charred as well. I wondered if this was a natural spore-related process or if authorities had tried to crack down on shrooms. Probably the former :wink:

Habitat:
Longish healthy grass lawn area outside flats in southwest Iceland.

Gills:
Attached, dark brown.

Stem:
1-2 inches long, 2-4mm diameter, brown, smooth, no bruising.

Cap:
Conical, some with different color nipples, 1-2 cm diameter, mostly light brown, some darker brown.

Spore print color:
Tbc

Bruising:
No bruising visible



Is there even the remotest chance that any of these are liberties? A friend who has some experience with liberties here in Iceland thinks they are - but I'm not sure how reliable that judgement is. Seems the right size, right shape caps, right color, right bruising (none), right stem, right gills... The only thing that was missing was the sliminess on the cap - I think - and maybe longer stems?

Yeah had some problems attaching/uploading them because I'm doing this from my phone on a hotspot.. I've edited it and put the links in. Hopefully this should work, but let me know if it doesn't.

Your pics for #1 look like an Entoloma species. Pics for #2 and #5 look like a Panaeolus species. Maybe they're P. cinctulus: check for a jet black spore print. I don't see any images when I click on the links for #3 and #4.

Okay, cool. Thanks for the speedy response and for being patient. I've edited it again - hopefully all the links work now.. #3+4 are just photos of some clusters anyway.

I'll check the spore prints in the morning. I guess if they're purple/brown, they're not panaeolus cinctulus. Is there a chance they're psilocybe semilanceata, or no chance?

I'm no TI, but I'd say there's no chance that any of those are P. semilanceata. All look like Panaeolus to me (except for the first Entoloma-ish ones) and I'd guess they're Panaeolina foenisecii.

(Btw, that tinypic is a really annoying site to post your pics on. Why not just use the shroomery?)

Righto. Cheers.

I know - the photos wouldn't upload on shroomery for some reason. And I tried to link them inline, but everything just failed.

Thanks for the help.
