Liberty caps

Hi guys,
First post here. Out for a walk today and happened upon what I think are liberty caps, along with some other misc types.
Any help would with id be greatly appreciated. Habitat: Ireland marshy field with sheep * Stem long thin * Spore print color * Scent of the mushroom * Color that the mushroom bruises when damaged. I know the bigger ones obviously aren't liberty caps but the smaller ones? Unsure of the lighter coloured ones.

I see at least 4 different species. Some libs but many Mycena, Entoloma, Paneolous and Conocybe, IMO. See if you can separate them and take some more pics of them seperated laying on paper or foil. Could take some spore prints too. Keep the stem near the cap you are printing, FYI.
You could definitely have some toxicity there with the ones that are not libs so do a good job of separating and post pics so we can help!

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.

This

This

This

And this, which I assume is a duplicate of the first one

And none of the others.
The picture of the first and last one is a bit crappy, but it looks like one. I'm not 100% on that one, though.

OK so I sorted them into groups now
First pic I'm fairly sure are libs.
The next few I am unsure of.
The page with the little white ones on are different, are these little guys edible??
The bigger ones too.

Most on photo 1 are libs - I see 3 suspect ones: third on top row, fourth on third row, and ninth on third row. Second photo: second row, first 3 look like libs. Third photo: middle set are libs. Seventh photo: 1st on top row, and first on second row look like libs.
Take those ones and put them in a single photo against white paper.

This and check for a gelatinous pellicle on ones you aren't sure of. Quick and easy way to check in the field as well. The little whitish ones are a toxic Mycena Sp., I think. Toss em and the ones jakefake mentioned... Toss any without a pellicle too.

Ah balls. I've had them all in a box together, would the toxic ones have contaminated the good ones?

No but be sure to discard the others and if you're planning on keeping the libs for a while then you have to dry them out before boxing them away or they'll spoil. Good luck with your future hunts!

i'll be picking till december easily, frost doesn't kill them constant frost does, it's only just started properly they have easily another month or two
e;
if you use that same location you should even be able to stock up, they flush n flush constantly, it's not cold enough to freeze the rainfall yet honestly it's gotta be consistently freezing the ground
