ID please - lib i guess, not sure.
    #23833100 - 11/14/16 05:45 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Hello,

I'm new here and I need a little help.

Few days ago I was walking with my dog through some fields and I noticed small mushrooms in the grass. Not really special or colorful, but they had a nipple on top! So I wondered if those would be the psychedelic ones I hear so much about.

So after reading about magic mushrooms, I'm feeling pretty sure I found some liberty caps or Kaalkopjes (as we call them). But then again, lots of people are pretty sure they found some libs... :ooo:

So today I went back to the field and took some of them with me for a closer look. The smaller ones look exactly like the pictures I saw on the internet, but the bigger ones make me doubt, because the edge of their hood is not going inwards. Also the shape of the hood varies as you can notice on the pics below... And, in the field, they look a lot darker than the ones I saw on the pictures. But I've already learned, they will change colors depending if they're wet or dry.

Anyway, if someone can confirm these are libs, I can go back to the field to harvest some more... :smile: I'm quite excited, cause this is my first shroom-hunt ever... :cool: But maybe they're just look-a-likes.

I tried to describe the mushroom as good as possible...

Habitat: remote pasture with animals like rabbits and I've spotted a dear last year, trees surrounding the field. Mushrooms grow through the wild grass, no wood or dung visible. Maybe in the past some cows or sheep passed by. I don't know. The field looks deserted for a few years.

Location: Belgium, Europe

Cap: conical/bell shaped, nipple on top. When wet: (dark) brown. The climate here is wet at the moment, so I'm not able to find any dry ones in the field. But when drying them at home, the color is changing to light brown, starting from the top of the hood.

Gills: brown. Attached to hood, not to stem.

Stem: light brown/white. Fragile. Evenly shaped. Sometimes curved. Some mushrooms I got had a darker stem (not darker than the hood, though).

Bruising: stem gets little darker when bruised, maybe blueish or greyish, but not 'blue'.

Spores: they look dark. Brown, maybe a little purple. I'm trying to make a good spore-print, so i can have a better look, but without a microscope it won't be easy.



I guess these are Psilocybe semilanceata...
So... what do you think..? Did I discover a magic field or what..? :grin:

Thanks anyway... :-)

Please don't give out bad ID's on purpose.
They all look like Psilocybe semilanceata to me OP.

@ pyrolight & maynardjameskeenan: thanks.

The spore-prints I made, look quite purple to me.
Not the best prints, I know. The two prints at the bottom are black, I made those from another mushroom to see the difference.


Anyhow, today I went back to this field for about two hours and I collected about 200 libs :smile: I can still feel my back, though.




I didn't know there were so many variations in appearences, but half hour ago I found these threads (Lib patch invaders & 80 libs) and those mushrooms look the same as mine. If only I had seen this thread before, than I wouldn't have asked those dumb questions :grin: But better safe than sorry I guess and now at least SWIM could make a joke about me being n00b :cool:




I also found an orange one today, in the same field. Is this also a lib..? I haven't done any research yet... :blush:



It's the only 'different' mushroom I noticed in this pasture.

Edit: orange libs in this one..

that's a sterile lib, on the thread linked that blue one at the top is a blue stropharia sp. not a lib


--------------------
I give you the choice of 2 pills.

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.
