You can pick a conocybe and let it dry. Its more sandy orange and the gills are orange. Will have a differebt spore print too. As the conocybe dries it looks different to dried libs.
Your probabaly find but i find the little ones harder to ID

Ok that's good to hear because they all had the exact same shiny crumpled up wrapping paper texture once they had dried out. These were tiny as well only 3cm ish tall, much smaller than I was expecting.
Are you familiar with cyanescens? I think I might have found some today but really don't know much beyond libs.

I've put in about 15 hours of hunting so far and haven't found anything psychoactive, have found a few edibles but that's it! I haven't found libs, psilo cyans or amanitas. For libs I'm looking in fields fertilised by cow and sheep shit, temps are about 11-13 c highs atm and lows of 4 at night! I've been out most morninrgs from 7am and haven't found shit! I've looked in cemeteries and also slopes, I'm in Sherborne Dorset anyone wanna meet up for a hunt?

We got around 4 grams (dry) at 300 metres altitude on a South Welsh mountain on Monday after the weekend's rain. Latest I've ever picked, but it's been too warm and dry until now.

Anyone had any luck around the midlands? i'm in Worcestershire and there's a serious lack of anything out there (any species) I've come across the odd one or two types in woodland areas but even there they are few and far between.. Bloody weather!

Just visiting again, see how things are going on the forum. So far have found just under 1000 of the little beauties (all libs). Wish I could find the PDF on here to link to. It's great for showing habitat and identification. Certainly would help folks on here.
Had some great walks out, took lots of photos.
My question is, once you've picked from a pasture, how long do you wait before going back ?

They grow near tufted hair grass, I used this website to find where that grows near me. Or use google to search for it where you are. Deschampsia cespitosa

Maybe it'll help you? For amanitas, look near pine trees. Or woodchip. I passed a place once that had about 50 growing in woodchip outside their house.

Guide to identification - get it now
This little guide is great, grab it now (click the text) and ignore the fact it mentions nordic countries, the info is all relevant to the UK.

Even the underlined ones on my last pic? It seems Allah may have smiled upon me.
Some XTC guaranteed in that lot I'd think. Should hit the (psonic sun) spot if you take 'em around 25 O Clock. Huge AP fan here.

Fezmond,
Look all like libs to me, some right ugly looking ones though 
Question for all,
Picking libs and them throwing them about some likely looking area to spread the spores. Or just let nature do it work? In some other threads it mentions making water solution of the spores and feeding it to cows/sheep or something similar, so the shit helps them take hold.
Thinking of taking a few hundred fresh libs, scattering them and see what turns up next year.
Thoughts?
