Being a woman of little impulse control I've eaten the ones I was sure of.
Found in grass, Moor, sheep grazing. After rains. In little families.
Most have the nipple.
Most have wiggly stems.
Some blue bruising showing..but I ate them.
I was unsure about some with darker caps. Now they are indoors they are becoming lighter.
I was also unsure about some with more triangular caps with less of a nipple.bruising should help id I guess.
Some with lighter gills I wasn't sure. I know a spore print would help I will do then now.
Orange bruising would be dangerous right?
And orange gills..also very bad?
I'll post pics of the ones with triangle caps and litter gills..

Nope I'm north of border.
The smaller of these two I'm not sure about has light purple brown gills. Maybe once they dry the gills look darker?
And the bigger one, rich brown gills, more triangle shaped and open around the bottom of the cap,as apposed to the typical bell with a nipple on top.I'll print them.

All appear to be libs, IMO. Nice ones too. The lack of nipple is fairly common, as is some difference in Gill color as they age.

Thanks folks.
The spore prints are dark. The smaller one more purple and larger or the two I posted I was sure about more brown black.
Of the LBMs in the UK which ones is it that can be easy to mix up without having printed them?

Its galerina I'm thinking off. Not good to mix them up. Death caps unless they are babies wouldn't be mixed up with libs I don't think.
I have been leaving the baby libs, so they grow and drop sores so the family continues in that spot. Is it also correct if you leave the bottom part of the stem the mushroom may grow back from the mycelium?
