First hunt - possible libs? - ID Request
    #22439184 - 10/27/15 07:52 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Hi guys,

Five days ago I literally had no interest in mushrooms in the slightest, I came across this website and my curiosity took hold, yesterday I went on my first hunt for liberty caps.  I found some mushrooms and I'd like someone to let me know if I was successful in my hunt or not.

I found these mushrooms growing in a grassy field, inside a golf course.  The grass was long and wet and they were all growing up the side of a small hill.  I only had time to pick about 15 or so before I was kicked off the course by a very angry groundsman.  There were hundreds more where they were growing.

A spore print showed a light brown colour.  I would write a full description but I think a few pictures would suffice.  If anyone needs more description to identify them just ask but I presume they are quite easily identified just by what they look like.

Sorry that the pictures aren't perfect quality:







Thanks for your help guys.

I'm quite confident they are liberty caps. But the pictures aren't very clear so can't be sure. Are the stems tough and flexible and bend around your finger without snapping? That's a good sign of liberty caps.

Spore print should be dark purplish-brown. You should wait until the spore print is strong then the true colour should be more clear.

Looks like libs to me as well, at least most of them looks like libs.
Hard to tell from these pictures, need some close ups and if possible make a spore print.

The spore print I made was quite rushed, I'll start to make a new one now and edit the thread accordingly.

Leave it for 12 hours or overnight to make a print.  Small caps dry out quickly so I recommend wetting the inside of the glass they are under and putting drops of water on the caps to keep them hydrated.

I've done just that, I'll add a picture of the spore print in about 12 hours then, thanks for the tips.

Another feature Ps. semilanceata have is a separable gelatinous pellicle.  When moist, pull the cap apart or peel from the edge of the cap to see if there is a membrane that separates from the cap.  The ones you have pictured there are probably too dry so you could try submerging one in water to wet it and see if the pellicle separates.



Edit: pics added
