Hi again, i have tried to split my haul into the 3 different types which will hopefully make the ones im after easier to identify! props to Elprawn for helping me at least notice differences by pointing out there were a few different species i had! i think the second pair of photos are the lib caps possibly the first set too
i have taken a photo of the gills and a photo of the tops for each group! if you could help me identify them it would be appreciated the last 2 photos are the ones im completely unsure of, or might be something different completely! amateur hour over here (first time picking, had a blast!)
Habitat: all from a casual stroll up hills around a loch in grass/heather patches! sheep can roam and great spot for wildlife (west scotland)
Gills: took a photo of the gills for each set.
Stem: the first 4 photos all have a weak stem and the stem on the last 4 photos seem to be more rigid
Spore print: unsure
Scent of the mushroom: not much of a smell to them
color of bruising: unsure, i probably didnt handle them very well
again, thanks for the help, really appreciate it!

it looks like half of your haul are mycena and the other half resemble lib caps, but wait for a Trusted Identifier to confirm the species. The top row in the 3rd to last pic are your best chances.

Yeah, agreed, mix of mycena sp. and the others are semis for sure

haha that pic was just meant to be of the top row, thanks for the response! id just like to point out but on the lib cap wiki page, the pic looks more like the bottom row than it does the top! very confusing

Yeah, the ones with dark gills and gold caps.
Note the stipes and caps, they are vastly different :P

that's why I don't feel comfortable identifying libs for sure, cuz they vary a bit, but I know the bottom row are mycena
