Identification and general advice.
    #23708861 - 10/05/16 04:17 AM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Hey, recently I've been getting into picking shrooms, considering  I've done truffles several times I have a rough idea of what to expect and how to handle the trip.
However, my problem is with the identification. I am aware of the fact that there are several variations of Liberty Cap shrooms. Of course, this makes identification more of a challenge.

I went picking the other day and found some shrooms; I was positive they were what I was looking for. So, I put them in vodka for two reasons: firstly, the vodka will sterilise the shrooms, secondly the vodka with absorb the alkaloids, which are the cause the trip. (to the best if my knowledge)

The plan is to get a good amount of shrooms, soak them in vodka for a few days (stored in my fridge) and then drink the vodka and eat the shrooms and hope for a good time. (after straining to get all the 'crap' out)       




Like I mentioned earlier, I've lately discovered there are many variations of Liberty caps. I've acquired many which could be what I'm looking for and all I ask is for help with identification and some advice for a novice.

In the photos I've supplied, I am basically certain the shrooms in the vodka and the brownish/creamy shrooms are what I'm looking for, but the white shrooms I am still quite dubious about.











I found all in a near by wooded area, which has plenty of nutrition and moisture and is fairly hidden from the sun, except for on warm clear sky days, which are rare this time of year, especially in Britain. I found the majority of the shrooms under bushes and by trees in more densely populated areas. ( By this I mean dense Flora)

I unfortunately have no pictures of where I found them, however I intend on taking some next time I go.

If I am right and later go on to drink the vodka and eat the shrooms, my plan is to do a shot or two and see where that gets me and maybe eat a few . What do you guys think I should do? (regarding dosage and amount of vodka I should drink)

If I am correct and these are all useful, will it be enough for me and two friends, if I put them all in the vodka and add more vodka and then let them soak in my fridge for a few days like I mentioned.

I am more than happy to supply more images and information, (to the best of my ability) if requested.


Any accurate advice is appreciated, even if I'm disappointed.


Kind regards, emobear25 and friends.

Could you take a look at these as well?

Found this growing from decaying wood. Solo growth.
Did not bruise from picking, I wasn't wearing gloves so I didn't attempt to bruise the cap.
The cap very spikey

I know it's probably not active but just curious

Are these psychedelic?

Habitat: I found these in a patch of grass in front of a tree that had mulch around it around my campus.
This was found in northwest Oregon

stem: white to light cream color
Cap: cone like

Baykingbaker has Strobilomyces strobilaceus or something like that.

Nikki has Conocybe species. Not psychedelic. I think Oregon season is pretty much over though, so definitely hunt next year.

Probbly Coprinellus sp., but you'll need to take better pictures for a proper identification.
By no means anything psychedelic.

You should also make your own post, you're more likely to get quick response that way, rather
than posting in a three year old thread.

You should also use natural light to take pictures of your mushroom observations and in situ photos are also helpful. Pictures of the cap, gills and stem are important parts of the identification process.

Strobilomyces
don't have gills, it's boletinoid. The depicted mushroom is possibly Flammulaster. Or more correctly was. :lol:

^ Wow, I had no idea they were boletinoids. I've never actually picked one up. Pretty cool.
