Mycena sp.

I would suggest doing a little research first. No offence intended but once you have seen enough pix of Liberty Caps it's hard to confuse them.



These are Libs :smile: They don't grow from wood chips.

RIP Matt, your friendship and your contributions to the world of fungi will be missed. Unfortunately we never got to hunt together.

I spent almost two hours looking through photos this morning determined to work it out myself but found it very confusing due to some photos of "lib caps" looking exactly like the ones I found (I guess from people wrongly IDing them). I knew I would probably get at least one answer like this...but surely that's what these forums are for?! To help those of us who aren't as knowledgeable as yourself about mushrooms :wink: I'm confident in the research areas that I'm knowledgeable in, but mushrooms certainly aren't one of them, hence I sought out advice. Anyway thank you, I appreciate you being kind enough to offer your help, despite presenting it in a manner you presumed I might take offence to :smile:

You will never find liberty caps in woodchips in town.  They will be out in manured pastures growing in the grass, not directly in the poo.  Animals that eat grass and poop a lot + rural fields = libs.

And that includes deer, when there are a lot of them.

If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.

at least you know mycenas characteristics now so you shouldn't get confused again, libs are more dense and don't have white gills unless sterile but i wouldn't get into steriles till you get down the characteristics of semis

I give you the choice of 2 pills.

With each containing one of the following:
Cyanide... Psilocin... Would you take the risk?
Didn't think so.

This is why Positive Identification prior to consumption is important.

Hey, no worries - it took me almost ten years to find my first lib although the original locations where I looked in Canada they were considered very rare. I finally found them soon after I moved to Estonia and started hunting for the first time here... by then of course I had researched the hell out of them lol and truly knew what I was looking for and where to look, knowing that they grew in most surrounding countries also helped :wink: But yeah they can be found in fields that haven't seen much large herbivore traffic and even in lawns but there are several things that need to be in place before they will grow in these environments and the yields seem to be higher in grazed pastures. However, all of my finds have been in un-grazed fields, with the exception of perhaps a few deer. I just don't have the time or the means to get out into the countryside at the moment. Look for low-lying, moist and fairly spongy fields - not swampy so much but the ground shouldn't be overly hard to tread on. Look for sedge grass, and mosses ... they usually prefer to grow in and around sedge grass. Grazed fields or somewhat mowed fields are of course easier to find them in as the length of the grass is shorter and thus easier to spot them in. I can't remember your exact location but this is also important to know if they do grow in your area.

Cheers and happy hunting!
