None of them are P. semilanceata as far as I can tell. But do not get discouraged, you live in Ireland so you shouldn't have to wait too long until you score.

They aren't liberty caps, mostly Mycena. Liberty caps don't have pale gills like that, look for dark-purplish gills. Some libs for comparison

The hardest problem I've had with libs is 1) mycena everywhere and 2) stages of growth throwing off identification. Now that I've "got it" and picked their lookalikes after passing over legitimate ones, things are a lot easier, took me a few excursions and a lot of homework.

My battery is dying I can't search for it but go on YouTube and there's a few well done time lapse videos. For example, even though the above picture is stunning, you'll find some that don't look like them because of aging or lack of rain.

They feed on dead grass and dead grass roots. If you go in a field look for the dark green parts, they're wetter. I found some yesterday just hitting darker green patches since the field was so big.

However, maybe darker green grass is too wet in Ireland I don't know the habitats there. I try to look in areas with either really tall trees that shadow possible areas for 25% of the day.

I've found a lot in a field that's landscaped. The way they mow it they kicked dead grass into an area they don't mow that's shaded by a tree. Find that kind of equivalent in Ireland, but honestly you should be able to find so many just in open pastureland.

Please do keep in mind I'm not a Trusted Identifier or a mod and this is just from from my personal experiences. If you find a like-minded person they can give you hands on advice for your climate, but do your homework and then hunt again and repeat. I attribute my finds to 90% research 10% hunting, and I've done a lot of hunting.


Edit: One thing that helped me a lot was printing out quizzes I made for myself. Once you get the terminologies down then it's easier to read information about them and not have to use dictionary.com. I've been treating this like a university course in biology/mycology.

Edit2: when you make a thread and there's a few responses, scroll to the bottom of the page and look and the "Related Threads". Then the related threads in those related threads.

I'm going back to the libs I found yesterday and see how they're doing. See if I can get a few stages of growth pictures. Three hippies with paper bags walked by me to where I was so I'm not sure they are even there anymore. I hope I can be of some help at the very least. I'd say check those time lapses first. They've taught me more than reading, and as a dual advanced degree literature student I can read and absorb fast. Take your time, and if you get that "um, what, I think I get what he or she is saying" then start the paragraph/post/whatever until that "I got it!" feeling hits. Try to get terminologies down its so much easier when you get a tricky species. I use small brown paper lunch bags and wear coats with many pockets. Always separate your unsure ones from your positive ones. It would suck having a few lookalikes that are poison and next thing you know...

Don't forget to read the sticky threads at the top of this forum. They have a pin icon on them.

Another tip: Follow your gut. Someone gave me this advice the other day and I ended up looking where I'd never look and there they were. Someone else said not to forget we evolved to find food and even if the thought doesn't cross your mind, maybe a gut instinct is telling you to go that way. Let nature and its fruits sing to you!

Habitat photos should be what you're doing in downtime if you're sincere. Don't get fervent or upset if you don't find any. You gave yourself plenty of exercise and had excursions in beautiful pastures a lot of us don't get to see.

Keep up the good work!

Cheers from across the pond my friend!

No. I think Inocybe [which means one of those better with that genus is going to tell me Cortinarius :tongue:].

From now on please post your ID requests in their own thread.


--------------------



Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it.
If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.

No, you're all good canid, that one looks to be Inocybe lilacina.
As for the mushrooms in the original post, I suspect that is a mixed collection, the larger three in the middle of this image with the slight olive hues are Bolbitius, maybe B. titubans, the other smaller samples are something else. maybe Mycena but need more information to be certain.

Yes, and please do make sure to get pictures of habitats. It's easy to rule out a species by location and where it's at. Another helpful step would be going to the "stickied" links at the top of this forum. Read them, study, read them again. Sort through habitat photos and specimen photos of what you're looking for. In those stickied threads, please see "how to make a spore print". It can rule something out immediately.

No, they appear to be Coprinopsis atramentaria.
