Hi Guys,
I hope you're all well,
I'm just starting a thread here for people to show pictures of their mushrooms for identification, to discuss about the best types of terrain for finding them, and to post regular updates of my own shroom hunting!
I am fairly new to the shroom world, having researched extensively the health benefits, ancient history, symbiosis with nature and the spiritual effects of shrooms, I am ready to go and pick my own!
Where I live and the terrain: I live in the outskirts of Milton Keynes, besides my house is miles and miles of untouched woodland, accompanied by fields and fields of grass, which were inhabited by sheep a month ago. Also near me is huge lakes with fields upon fields, yielding willow trees, furns, wet grass and all the stuff the shrooms love!
I would really appreciate any tips in identfying terrain, or growing patterns. Once I have picked some for myself and have learnt the patterns, I will post my findings on here to help the people starting off like I was when I started the post.
I have had a brief search this week, as it is around 15 degrees here recently, and there has been rain the past few days, and I think it is the perfect condition for liberty caps.
My Knowledge of how to find them - Long and Twisty stems -Nipple shaped cap -They grow near long/medium grass -Ferns & Willow tree's are good spots - If you see alot of mushroom types, you'll see these too most likely -They like wet conditions, and 15 degree's is perfect temp. -They love long open fields
I will post some pictures below from today, and keep updating the thread for tomorrow and Sunday, and the following weeks. I'll be going out in the morning around 10:00AM to begin my searches.
My pictures from today, they are very broken because I'd finished work and had nowhere to put them. When I go hunting from now I will be bringing containers and storing them safely. I'll also use my proper camera to take better photo's of the stems, caps, gills etc and will make sure they're easy to identify. I have got some spore prints being made now and I'll post those soon once they're done. Please help me out guys! Any comments/tips/anything is welcome

Your find looks like a Conocybe sp. What did they grow from? Manure? Wood? Soil?
Gill shots are also essential.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me so quickly,
These were growing on medium-high grass, the first batch with the 3 on my hand was on a big field near a stream, with willow trees about 50 metres away.
The pictures where they are broken are from areas with big patches of medium grass, a stream at the end of the field.

They were growing from the soil, inside the medium height grass, in the middle of a huge uncut field. I'll post HD gill pics hopefully tomorrow or Sunday when I find some more
