UK Lib Cap ID request
    #23727920 - 10/11/16 10:40 AM (7 years, 3 months ago)

Greetings all,

I found these widely distributed in a field in local (urban, dog-walking) park in England.  I'm hoping some may be Libs.

They seem to meet some of the criteria :-

  • They all have dark spores, but I cannot tell the colour.  I am currently awaiting spore prints from a few randomly-selected ones. 
  • A few appear to have a very slightly blueish tinge to the stems, but not all. 
  • They are mostly going much yellower/paler as they dry out now than they were at the time of the pics. 
  • Some did have a sliminess to them.
  • They do have a sort of mushroomy smell.


Apologies for the less than perfect lighting in the pics.  I am happy to take more close-ups tomorrow in the daylight.

Please let me know if I can eat any or specifically should not eat any.  I have numbered them for convenience.

I have a few general questions:

1.  Do they have to be dried before being eaten.  If so, would putting them on a radiator suffice?
2.  Do they have to be washed before/after drying?
3.  Any other treatment required/anything else I need to know?

Thank you for taking the time to help me with my query.

I question 24 and more so 26 and rule out 12, 13, 18, 29, 30, 47 and 50. The others seem like libs.

Thanks a lot for your response, it was very helpful, I'm pretty sure I can see how the ones you mentioned are not libs when I look closer at them, and this has helped me with my identification ability. :thumbup:

If any of the remaining ones are not libs, is there a risk of them being poisonous/dangerous (just in case) given their appearance and the climate/environment I found them in?  :mushroom2:

Clearly I'm a n00b and just want to be extra-careful before I dive-in! :crazy2:  I've been waiting for this for at least 2 years :grin:

Thanks.
