Can someone help identify these, pretty much identified all of them except these two.



(sorry bout the contrast on the last one, was very dark in the gills, so had to increase contrast which makes it look a differentish colour)

Agreed !!

Seasons of to pretty shitty start,went all the way through perthshire through the glens and up to Balmoral ,found about 25, washed them down with whiskey and had a decent trip, no shut eye geometry, shit season ,no rain and an Indian summer, Repton seem to just have lucky spots, i'll bide my time and wait til my real spot is fruiting in full swing and not waste my time looking for minimal that are few and far between, it's time consuming for what you get when you can pick the same amount in 5 minutes

Don't give up hope I totally agree, I'm incredibly lucky to have two or three spots that serve me well, for now... There have been years where the same spots seemed to produce nothing, and I'd be surprised to see a hat-trick and get another year out of this before the mycelium underworld takes a nap for another year or two.
Outside of the one early fruiting location I've not been very successful at any of my other more rural locations I've a feeling when the first proper chill hits the air with the right kind of rain and then a wee warmer day or two we'll see areas burst into life, the seasons seem to be off to me, like shifted forward a month or two but it could just be me... --- edit
Just found an old shroomery journal entry (11 years ago   ) discussing the same locations, it's actually quite interesting, I had no recollection of writing it...

to be fair, getting out there and abit of research is all u need, no new comer will struggle when all he she has to do is look , observe and compare.. then get arse out to enjoy the fresh autumn air, taking with you, your new found knowledge on what they look like and where they are ..
don't let my babble get in the way of using your own minds to establish a liberty cap habitat , think for yourself and find them,. I think its equally important to talk about experiences as well as id ing or asking habitats when , lets be honest the same things gets mentioned over and over and over, so no new comer will not struggle when there is more than one liberty cap season thread to take a ganders that again go over and over and over same pictures same habitats so really, its a no brainer !, so to me the asking part is just out of laziness and not using the search functions......
and you can feel free to hit the ignore button ... I suggest you do, aswel as you joey.. that settles that then really don't it. when I first signed up I made sure I had pictures of libs to show with out having to ask the same questions over and over and over and over, I spent the first month quietly here researching and paying attention, I didn't need to ask because it was already aaalll here... .......
and don't be pissed coz your spots have been nabbed,take the time to find new.. - that's why its good to have 3 or 4 more + locations, actually spend a season looking for new spots and reep in the rewards the next season or half of it, that's if you can manage to wait that long b4 chipping away at spots you currently had.
cheers
nice one Repton.. ^ see this place is a gold mine if use the search as well as this thread,
grow a pair of balls and mention me that's the one that making this confusing, I know I can run on, but deal with it like I have to ... use the ignore , that's what its therefore ..

I rekon we would do awesome with a dedicated yearly thread to all UK actives per year with general picking, ID etc and other banter and use threads like this for discussing and posting our picking results or that was my impression anyway but here I am babbling away now
PsyMindz86, I don't think anyone was targeting you I think it was just an overall feel that this thread was getting a bit distractedableated

Iv not giving up hope bro just been through this many a time before for over a decade, you'll no what it's like you can go out and dedicate a day to hunting to barely scrape a trip together when in a few weeks (i'm estimating mid October now) my spot generally fruits thousands that can be picked in a day or 2 in a 200 square metre area,
Somebody phone Thor and tell him we're needing a storm for the Scottish boys.

Sound man cheers. I had little look round last week with no luck but a thought it was maybe a wee bit early due to this late summer we've been having but I'll need to head up the hills this weekend as I think I'm too close to the coast where I am. Thanks for the info!!!

Def early days still, looking like October for full fruit. Psymindz no one targeting you, I really enjoy your psychonaut wisdom. Just that the spat between you and Joie was taking over the libs talk.
Thanks for the ID Repton, I still don't know how to spore print. I tried with a couple, but nothing on the paper. Will read up more about it.
Could do with a second opinion before I add them to the pile (100 now)



I've noticed a few that are very similar to libs, colour, shape, nipple etc, but the gills are pale. Do they go pale when the spores drop, or am I looking at panoleus ?
