Lacking in confidence....
    #23752305 - 10/19/16 03:16 PM (7 years, 3 months ago)

This evenings dog walk proved to be fairly fruitful, there were grassland fungi popping up all over the place! I managed to pick a bunch before it got too dark and I decided that wandering around in the middle of a farmers field (with a PROW through it) with a torch was a little conspicuous :grin:

I am still quite the novice and many of my finds this year have quite differrent characteristics than I have trained myself to spot, some unusual shaped caps, although when I look through a loop the cap is striated as expected and I can see a gelatinous pellicle. The gills look as I would expect them to aswell. However, a few looked like they had dried, then got wet again, which I find makes ID harder.

Anyway, it would be helpful if I got some feedback and opinions based on the images below and please do let me know if you think anything is suspect, that would merit further investigation (spore print) or just to chuck. I only partake a few times a year and am in it just as much for the sport... trying to learn a little about mycology generally, not just the psychedelic kind :smirk:

Every mushroom in your pictures is Psilocybe semilanceata.

Thanks again elprawn. You are turning out to be my saviour... or the cause of my premature demise :wink:

I am interested to know if there certain environments are known to produce different characteristics in libery caps. I have seen quite a few that are on there way to looking like a sombrero, and some are quite white around the rim, while other much darker. First two images below are the same cap, third is different, but a curious shape I thought.

The 3 pics in your last post are not libs - note the whitish/light grey gills :-) likely mycena sp. in my humble opinion

Thanks Lauricularia,

I tossed them because I wasn't sure. The last one I was fairly confident was a lib, as the gills were darker. Based on the other characteristics of the former, I still think there is a possibility it was a lib, they can have grey gills when young I thiknk. I don't think it was dainty enough to be a Mycena... bonnnets are normally more fragile. However, I have little confidence in my own assessment and think your own is equally or more valid than mine :grin:
