Woo more libs, where abouts are you in the UK and at what altitude did you find them? They do look a bit like strictypes though. The spore print for the pans should be jet black.

P. strictipes is the same as P. semilanceata - it's just that sometimes the caps expand to convex.

Wikipedia says otherwise and that they are a different but similar species? Unless it's wrong but I don't know.

It's wrong, but it's not the fault of Wikipedia. Wikipedia documents what has been published. Especially with regard to Psilocybe, not everything that we know has been published. Both Jan Borovicka and I have been sequencing the DNA of various "Psilocybe strictipes" collections, and all turned out to match 100% with P. semilanceata. Also several intermediate forms can be seen, further weakening the case for P. strictipes being real. The supposed microscopic differences are slight and overlap with the micro characters of P. semilanceata.
