Can you provide any more info? Are they any other psychoactive variety?

Hello.
Obviously new to hunting this season or I wouldn't be posting this however I'm struggling to find a reasonable amount of libs.

I assume these are all liberty caps?

Other than the rogue few at the bottom which I have no idea what to think of I was hoping these are just undeveloped liberty caps. Greyish purple colour with a thin stem, heads are mainly bell shaped but slightly nipply, some a full nipple.

Found these close to the actual liberty caps I found along with the next picture of shrooms that are similar but are smaller and have a more rounded head.

An ID on any of these will be much appreciated.

Wait for someone with more experience.
You have a few in the first picture and none in the others.
Although it looks like you might have just one in the last picture.

This little guide is great, grab it now (click the text) and ignore the fact it mentions nordic countries, the info is all relevant to the UK.
Sorry to repost this, but for those new to identifying, and looking, this is an excellent help.

ok on the top picture,your first one, line them aup all the ones you think look similar to eachother, lineup the ones u think look the same and add numbers below,, coz you got libs mixed with a few kinds , then someone can establish whats what abit better...couple of Bolbitius as well, sprang to mind whith those paler/yellowish ones.. a user shroomsoutwest had a few thinking were libs earlier on the season
bet yeh order the ones you think look similar m8 and number em

A little bit here and there. I'm based in Telford so I have the option to go near the welsh border and pick there but I've just not had the time recently.
The only field I've found so far is one that's a mile from my house so it's quite good, but, it's only giving me like 7-8 at a time.

Just a bump, anyone?

Yeah they look fine. The one on the left hand side could do with a better picture with the nipple on top. But definitely the one on the right Is the perfect specimen .

Hi could someone confirm these please?
Im confident on the last picture as they are the colour i would expect, but in the first two pictures (which are of the same bit of paper but more zoomed in on one) the colours are different so I'm just wondering is that because of age/exposure to wind or are they indeed a different species. They were grouped together (within a 1m diameter circle).
Any help appreciated thanks.



Oh and also, should i be pinching the stem to break it (hence leaving the "root" in the ground) - iv read this helps the shrooms regenerate but would like to confirm. I know the majority of the above iv had pulled up from the root :/
cheers

Ok so this morning I went for a wander and came across Lewis Carrols lunch ( at least I'm sure a number of them), however some of what I picked I'm unsure of and would like to get ID on all if pos.
Thanks everyone.
The pics with my finger in the left hand of the frame are the ones that I am unsure of.

Blackadder: Lieutenant, that is a military map, it is unlikely to list interesting flora and fungi. Look at the key and you'll discover that those mushrooms aren't for picking. George: Good Lord, you're quite right sir, it says "mine". So, these mushrooms must belong to the man who made the map.

All libs.
Are the cyans out yet? Going to go on a little city side hunt for some tomorrow down in the south east coast.
