First season picker got some pictures of Liberty caps for you, hopefully!
    #22227480 - 09/12/15 03:02 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Hi! im new to posting, but The Shroomery has for quite some time been one of the sites i go to for information. Hope you guys can help me identify some liberty caps. Im new to mushroom picking, so might be doing it all wrong :rolleyes:

Habitat:
Pasture, we have had a couple of days with sun and warm temperature.

Gills:
from light brown to dark color.

Stem:
light and tough, often blueish at base.

Cap:
Many shapes and sizes. sticky and dark when wet, like paper and gold-brown when dry.

Spore print color:

Bruising:
not sure.

Other information:
Pictures


First place i looked was a huge batch of golden wierdlooking shrooms, looked like some pictures of old libs ive seen. I also found some younger speciments same place having same type stem and kind of surface in cap(some kind of transparen protective layer?).
About 20 young and old

Pictures with white background was taken about 3-4 hours after picking.

Any advice on identification is welcome:mushroom2:

From what I can see you have libs, but only the one clear pic I feel comfortable making a proper ID on, the other ones are blurry.

Even your blurry pic with the harvested specimens looks good to, but again I would feel horrible if you ate something you shouldn't.  The pic with the group in their habitat is also to blurry.  Can you get some clear pics?

The transparent protective layer you mentioned is called the pellicle, it's one of the identifying features which mushrooms in the genus Psilocybe have.

Here's a pic of pellicle on a lib.

Thanks, what number picture is it that you can confirm?
And do you feel from what you see in the blurry ones that i have the right species or do you think that its mostly wrong mushrooms?

The big ones can be liberty caps aswell?

This is without a doubt Psilocybe semilanceata.

These all look like Libs too, but without a clear pic I just don't feel comfortable saying without a doubt that they are libs, that would be irresponsible on my part.

This pic I cannot tell at all what you have, it just doesn't show enough, sorry.

Some of the rounder, zonate ones look almost like Panaeolus or Panaeolopsis, but just almost.

I think all of them look like Psilocybe semilanceata, nice blue staining ones too.

New bounty secured and im hoping for some help identifying.

Ill add overview pictures for all the shrooms i feel quite certain are libs. Please just ask if you need closeup on any dodgy shroom.
I have tossed all that i had bad feelings about.
Some Liberty caps hopefully! :mushroom2:

Should i keep these?
They seem to have the stem and pellicle but are a little different in shape than usual(some more flat under cap).

I had lovely help dragging this load in!
G'day

yes they are all libs

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.

lol...I always try to drag my friend, who doesnt even do drugs, along with me when I hunt shrooms. We usually dont find anything active (all my actives have been chance occurrences) but hiking through the woods is fun.

By using this forum to its potential it is possible to learn how to hunt and identify magic mushrooms in most regions of the world.

Happy hunting!

Well, most of them look good to my untrained eye.  The one with the inverted cap looks a little off to me though.  It is very, very clearly not a liberty cap, but the gill pattern and inversion remind me of cyanscens.  I still don't think it is; the cap is too dark by a longshot, and the stem is far too dark.
