Things are finally getting going in my spot! Im in the south east so prepared for it being later but was starting to get worried!

Picked just over a hundred on Saturday. 150ish today.




Still getting the hang of the camera.

Overall pretty happy with the last few days.

Good luck out there guys!

Found these four little guys today.  Grassy field with deer, S. London, 90 meters ASL.  Not sure of identity.  Came to less than a gram.  Just need to know if they're what I'm looking for.  Thanks

Don't think they're what you're looking for, nothing active. Maybe mycena sp.

Keep trying though, I've always been pretty lucky in my local deer park.

Anyone think this is a liberty cap?



I've seen quite a few this year that had convex rather than conical caps, which I initially did not recognise as libs and I have been re-evaluating my understanding of how to recognise P. semilanceata all of the time... but I have yet to come across any images or literature that indicates that the caps are ever uplifted. Doing a spore print on it now.

This came from the same field a few weeks ago. I think it is probably the same species, but I tossed it.


Also learned about sterile caps... I found a few sterile one's that all grew in the same place. Only exanmples in an entire field (that I could find anyway) and they all grew within 50cm of each other. Anyone able to tell me what causes them to be sterile, and is there any effect on their chemistry?



Found a few of these below too. Still not convinced they are libs, spore printing them also. Gills look white and the cap is tan, but it looks so much like some of the libs that were growing around it. Maybe just because they are young. This small field has so much variation... stupefying for noob like me :smile:

It's hygraphanous and drying like a lib does. There were a troop of them, this was one of the bigger one's with a cap at about 1cm diameter with an 8cm stipe of about 4mm.  Spore print pending on this too.



All in all, have found this to be an interesting season and have enjoyed the hunt tremendously... especially my day out at Hadrian's Wall :smile:

south east as well. been a slow start but it seems to be picking up within the last week. first time looking for them so i haven't got experience to compare it to, however researching on the optimum conditions seems to indicate that the weather has been far milder and dryer than the mushrooms enjoy.

the increase I have seen seems to bear this out as we have been experiencing wetter and colder weather.


a general question. is it a better idea to leave the smaller liberty caps? are they sexually immature at a certain size and I am preventing the spreading of the spores by picking them?

although u can get libs like those,,, first 3 pics are not.. first 2 are wet ones of the third, I reckon .. - sterile take on a tan orange I thought.

don't know second from bottom.could be sterile lib then again not sure and not sure what causes it although someone here no doubt does, also I have found they each grow in a certain character as in its shape at certain parts of the patch and mycelium... every year the same looking ones pop through the same patch everytime.. strange

bottom pic is for sure

ubbercheese - I leave the pins,mature caps will release,but . I also leave enough for the certain insect..its equally there's too  :sporedrop: - and if you see a slug chowing on one leave it be, it will make a good spore spreader - snail/slug trail will make potential lib trail :thumbup:

The north wind doth blow, and we shall have snow.

So, I saw what you said blazeyy about keeping on going even though there's some ground frost, but when do we call it a day? When the snow lays ? You said something about the sun, couldn't fathom that.

I'll still be going out regardless for the scenery, but curious as to when to call it a day scouting.

Spores are dark and purple elipsoids on the first image above. Second and third sets are from older images, so no print. The tan one in the third set of images didn't drop many spores over night, just a few in the flesh that had stuck to the paper. They were also purple elipsoids.

Bloody cold here today... end of days is nigh :grin:

@PsyMindz86 - Were all wet except for the last image, even the white one's. The first image and the second and third were taken weeks apart.

@Blazeyy - Cheers, I thnk you are right, all libs. Not going to eat them, 'cos there is enough for me to doubt a couple, but all fascinating.

Thanks chaps.

Cheers,

Hi all, first time poster here.
I was wandering if i could get some ids please. I was walking through a field right on the edge of town and came across these. I usually wouldnt need an id but because of location i found these i would like a second opinion as these where more or less found in town and i honestly did not expect to find them in this area i usually would have to head to the moors to find any. The 3 in the first two images im pretty confident are libs but the others im not so sure about, one of them has white gills but its cap looks just like a lib to me.

That third one doesn't look like a liberty cap to me. Maybe a Conocybe (apala?) Some of the others look like they are drying a bit dark too... would make me uneasy. Maybe it's just bruising :smile:

I would put a seperate post out for ID and try and get a spore print on any you aren't sure about.

They all look good to me, but wait for someone with more experience for a positive ID. ..but I'm 99% sure :smile:

Thanks for the replys :smile: im trying a spore print on a couple of them hopefully it will give me a better idea. The ones which are dry i found already dry i assumed the colour was from the conditions they dried out in they still look pretty golden on top of the cap though. And im not sure the 3rd/4th are a apala but ill probably discard it anyway cos the gills are white but i think i remember reading somewhere you can find albino libertys ? This is the only reason i kept that one but better safe than sorry :smile:. Also is the season still going well in most places ? I hadnt bothered looking in the last week or two cos i thought it was getting too cold for them too keep growing plus there hasnt been very much rain this year compared to previous years.

I found quite a few 'albinos' this year, it is apparently because they are sterile and have no spores. I chucked them too... can't be too careful :smile:

I'm up north, near the borders. Went out yesterday and there are still plenty about. If the current weather is sustained, I can't see it lasting.
