Libs up in the mountains 2

Yesterday I went for a nice bike tour up in Bucegi mountains, part of the Southern Carpathians. At 5 AM I took a train 40km to a city at the foot of the mountain. After that, it was all about pedaling 1700m upwards.
6AM alone in the train wagon, seeing in the faint morning light the mountain I was about to conquer:

On my way to the top

Finally on the 1700m plateau:

And now, since we are on the shroomery...the libs 
All of them were found in the same ~500m2, and I couldn't find any other(than small and dry specimens) in the same habitat and also at higher altitudes. That was strange.
Habitat:



Here are two very different libs, growing side by side. I'm sure the second is a lib, I could later see bruising on the stem. The color and form of the gills is also right for libs:

How much dried stuff do you guys estimate I'll have, from what you've seen in the box ?

Beautiful photos! Looks like a great place for mountain biking (and of course lib hunting)! 
It's difficult to see how thick your pile in the jar is, but my guess is 70.

Thanks guys The place is indeed very beautiful, and we have plenty of other mountains here I'd love to ride on.

Yes, he obviously means specimens. I guess you might have between 2 and 2.5 grams dried, but you should weigh it.

I was also thinking somewhere between 2 and 3. I bought a scale, it should arrive today or tomorrow.

Awesome pics.
Nice bike too! I can't tell from the pic, but is it a 29er or 26, and it's a hardtail correct?

Nice, I was just in Romania at the end of June! First Europe trip ever (even the locals thought it was weird and kept asking me why in the hell I chose Romania of all places as my first Euro destination lol!)
Didn't know that libs grow there...it's not even close to the ocean/sea, which I thought is where this species occurs. I don't see any animals in your photos, and it looks like the middle of nowhere, but you said it had sheep and cattle...
I was very close to where you were (Brasov, Bran...visiting Dracula's castle)! Of course they were probably not in season when I was there, but it's still cool to know they occur in the areas where I physically visited. Cycling tour sounds like fun and a great workout! Nice and scenic.

these scenery shots are class, what camera is that?
-------------------- 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.

If you look on the left of the habitat pic, you can see some white spots, those are sheeps There are plenty of sheepfolds, but I don't have any pics.

 I agree, it isn't just the amazing scenery, you're good at it. Well composed.
