It must be too warm. I always remember being cold and wet picking mushrooms....

Look good to me. There's an old saying, that I pulled out of my arse , If in doubt sniff em out, by which I mean, learn to identify them by smell and you won't go far wrong.
>shrooms out west. Liks 'psy' I'm sceptical, but the same applies "If in doubt sniff em out". If they smelled like libs, they were libs. If you can't smell em, chew a small piece of stem between your front teeth to get a feel for the texture, and, 'tutting' as you chew to get the flavour.

Thanks man, I've never considered ID'ing by smell, but that actually sounds like a really clever thing to learn to do. Its one of those senses I suppose we don't make the most of but can be really useful. I should take note of all those dogs I see running around the fields sniffing the ground!
It turns out anyway these guys once semi-dried out have reveled themselves to certainly be libs. I still didn't add em to the brew last night though. But 47 was certainly enough for me to have a great time watching Pocahontas.

the only thing you have taught me is that you cant be criticized.. this is all about the one apparent 'lib' that looked a lil odd,more like an ear plug 2bh,drying differently,no colouring of lib since grass is wet, etc... no dramas were needed.it isn't a game picking the wrong shit , actually quite concerning .. but as I say.. moving on - to your latest pictures, they aint libs either. ^^
ignorance is apparently bliss tho right!!?
Moonshake - since finding first liberties few year back, ive never mistaken them for anything else since,they call out, trust your instincts . but yeh they do got their unique smell also.. but generally you just know in your heart that they are or not. they are like animals and insects, fungi, , you can tell apart the bush cricket to the grass hopper right ?

he wont listen.. it just gets personal/defensive when ya try advice the kid/bloke,same time I'm no id expert but I DO KNOW a liberty cap when I see one. .. yet not realizing some will fuck your liver , this isn't a fucking joke and he better start listening. either that your some troll out west not sure ?
what I'm not understanding is that he has libs in his personal pictures.
no one Is perfect we make mistakes, so take it on the chin, mushroom hunting isn't no joke. ive bought an id handbook this year just to help teach myself of all the others around.
neither is this.. I'm really trying not to seem like a cunt. but would it be more cuntish me having a feeling and keeping it to myself, not everyone that will know will see it as posts get posted, they get lost amongst the other posts...

yeh.. much paler and yellowish than normal.. granted they look similar , but it doesn't cry out liberty cap, again the grass is wet, not looking like a wet fresh lib... like the dark brown slippery slug texture

Next time I visit the field I will pick one and show the partially dried pic. I know I said this before, but it is my camera, it does shit pics when the sun is strong. The colour issues on the stalk are the sun reflections trust me.

Hey guys back from my trip to the peak district. I didn't have as much time as I had wished, only 1-2 hours out. I did find some liberty cap looking shrooms at around 1300-1480ft. Could someone help me id if any of these are libs thanks.
They all got a bit battered and bruised on the way back.
     
Sorry for the bad pics.
