Identification of Liberty caps
    #22274921 - 09/22/15 04:17 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Hey guys I found these shrooms on my first ever pick as this is my first time and I'm just wondering I have general knowledge and was wondering if you guys could identify these I believe I found 2 species as when I did a spore print the smaller ones came out a blue / purple and the other a much browner pictures are below

Habitat :
These were found in a field in soil pictured below , the field is not ploughed and cows graze in this field

Gills:
The gills were a slight brown colour mainly white with tint

Stem:
A very narrow slender no bigger than 1mm , stems were mainly a few inches on the smaller side of 2inxhes mainly the stem is smooth and appears to be very flimsy

Cap:
the smaller looking smurf ones have a cap no bigger than a penny , and some even smaller than that especially the young looking ones a lot of them felt sticky when picked out of the habitat but now inside have dried out , the colour is mostly a tan colour on the light side

Spore print color:
Below I will show the two species I believe to have the smaller one tho faint shows a lot of blue / purple tints , compared to the much bigger heavier mushroom which shows a very strong brown spore print

Bruising:
could not notice any bruising too mushroom

Other information:
Some of the caps were almost "sticky" to touch especially the ones with a more "smutf" looking cap compared to the much browner ones with a more dome cap

You have three imposters- you must watch out!
Cinnamon brown gill ones = possibly deadly or just not good.

You do have liberty in there - your going to have to really take time to check each fruit and keep your collections not mixed.

Most appear to be libs, the blue staining on the stems is a good indicator. I CANT say with 100% certainty that all are libs.

All of the mushrooms in your most recent photo are Psilocybe semilanceata.

Your first photo is Conocybe or Pholiotina, and in your first photo that shows lots of mushrooms you have three of these. 

Pholiotina can be deadly, but you would probably need to eat a lot to get sick, if you accidently eat one nothing will happen.  You should still pay close attention to gill color, especially how the color of the gills change over time.  Also look at stem texture, cap texture, and how the cap color changes as it dries.  Conocybe is not closely related to Psilocybe, so you will notice a lot of differences if you are paying attention.

I disagree. You should always be able to be 100% certain and it's the one thing you need to be 100% sure about. Eating mushrooms is never a gamble if you do it right.
