S W Scotland ID lib confirmation please
    #22434597 - 10/26/15 03:00 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Hi there,

I'm making my first post on here to try to confirm the shrooms in the photos are Liberty Caps.

They were found growing in on an urban school football field in S W Scotland yesterday. We have previously found mushrooms growing there which we know to be Liberty Caps. These look similar in shape but were darker in colour when picked. Since picking they have dried partially, turned lighter and now look more like I'd expect Libs to look.

We've been finding lots of Libs on this field over the last couple of weeks but recently we've been finding these darker looking mushrooms that have a Lib type shape but because the colour is darker we're not sure what they are.

Libs are darker when they are fresh and wet.  They turn lighter as they dry like you describe.

Thanks. We were confused as we've see lighter coloured ones growing as well. Do they start to dry out while they're still growing? I guess it could be part of their natural ageing process.

Check out the pics here to see them at various stages of drying and how variable they are.

It's just various stages of drying. When fresh and still moist they are that darker olive colour. When they dry they turn a sandy/golden colour from the top of the cap down. Here are some libs I picked the other day showing the various stages of drying.
