Okay so this is my first post and I've only created an account for help from you guys despite having been on the forum and stalking posts for a few weeks.
So I came across a little park that had mushrooms... first time I've ever noticed mushrooms growing which was perfect timing as I've been reading up on them recently...
Anyway I'll get to the point.. This is what I picked... There are some that I just stuck straight in the bin as they were practically dead.

But some I thought were half decent but was wondering what exactly it was that I picked up... they are super dry now because the weather recently just got dry. I don't know much.. maybe nothing but I thought these could be Liberty Caps?!


At first I posted this in the wrong section where people told me to take prints of them, I haven't a clue how to could someone fill me in?
Can also post better picture if you need it

A lot of them look like Panaeolus cinctulus to me.

I'm fairly confident that all of the mushroom in the second picture are Panaeolus cinctulus. Making a spore print is a good idea. There are no toxic Panaeolus.

Aren't my findings in a park in Ireland somewhat lookalike?
 Though doctorghosty said these were Psathyrella sp. Second opinion? xD

Those do look kind of similar but yours look much more like Psathyrella than Panaeolus.

Only one way to find out for sure then  seriously though If I make some tea out of them, I probably won't die right?

"There are old mushroom hunters, and there are bold mushroom hunters, but there are no old bold mushroom hunters."
They will do nothing to you.
Also you shouldn't hijack other peoples threads.

These are the pictures of the spores. I planned to get three but one just didn't release
Anyway both seem black in the pictures but the bigger print had a little brown tinge... (Picture number one is the one with a "Brown Tinge"

Thanks dude Sounds silly and prob a waste of a question but how come I'm so oblivious with all of this yet your so confident, how long do you reckon it will take for me to grasp a half decent idea about what I'm dealing with Again with another question, I'm planning to make into a tea, is it worth while drying them out of just let them sit in a Tupper wear until I'm ready to brew

You'd probably need 20-50 of them for a decent trip.
