Identification help please!
    #22362585 - 10/11/15 10:31 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Hey guys it's my first post here so I hope I do it right, I went hunting for a bit and I've acquired a load of mushrooms.  I was looking for liberty caps specifically and I managed to find some really nice blue ones, quite big too.  I found lots of others (My first hunt I think it's a lot at least) and I'd really like some identification help please!

Pics: 
















I took multiple photos and I have some more of the small ones but I'm more focused on these at the moment.  Any help is appreciated, cheers! :smile:


EDIT:

I found them in Goathland, up north in the UK in mossy/grassy areas, no trees near them.  I'm hoping to have them tomorrow but I want to be safe.  Not too bothered about drying them out, I'll just hold my nose and chew I reckon.  Any help is great again, thanks.

OK so the ones with the blue caps and strongly bluing stems are a Stropharia sp., throw them out.

The ones with the conical caps and black bruising, are Hygrocybe conica, some people mistake them for actives.

However, there are two that I would like to see better pics of, which I have highlighted here.



The other mushrooms in your collection are a colorful assortment of random inactives.

Shameless self bump.  I did some googling on the blue ones and it says they contain psilocybin however not edible?  It confuses me since if they're active, surely I could eat them and have a trip?

The ones pictured in your latest post (except the one showing partially on the left in picture one) are liberty caps.

The blue ones in the previous post are, as mentioned, one of the blue Stropharia species, probably S. cyanea.
They do certainly not contain any psychoactive compounds and will not make you trip. Any claims to the contrary
being false. The blue color is inherent (and fading in older specimens) and is not a result of psilocin oxidation.

Oh okay that's fine then, I'll throw them in the bin.  Was hoping they'd be good so I dried them out last night too haha.  Oh well, I have my order coming soon since I've got a supagro from Zamnesia, just wanted to do a hunt for my first time.

2 small liberty caps; will they do anything really?  Also thanks a lot for the reply! :laugh:
