 ID - Semilanceata / liberty caps ?

Hi guys, I'm new to this adventure of collecting and I want to make sure I'm being safe. I found these amongst pine leaf litter in the ACT region. I think (hope) they're liberty caps but would love some confirmation. Any help would be really appreciated.
P.s - sorry for posting in wrong place

These are NOT Liberty Caps, in fact, NOTHING like them at all.
Post them in the identification forum where the experts reside; they’ll be able to tell you what the mushrooms are, but you need as much information on them as possible; colour of gills, colour of spores, do they bruise blue, etc. Etc.
These are liberty caps:

Not sure how it is across the pond, but here they grow in fertilized grass. I've found them roadside, in lawns, churchyards, rc plane airfields, ready-lawn fields, along forest tracks where people rides horses or cattle walk, sheep fields, horse fields and cow fields.
Cow and horse fields are usually the best spots, though, this seems to vary. A dude from Ireland told me they grew everywhere and picks his in the ditch along the road, a bloke from Scotland swore that sheep fields were the shit.

Yeah, Scotland... Sheep fields slim pickings.At least around here.
Get the feeling it's just *very* local and you need a feel for *your* area once you get your eye in.
Weirdly the *best* spot is on grass in front of the local school laid in the last 3 years when they put up new houses

the entire uk is coastal so they're able to grow a lot more places. in the few places they occur in USA they are in cool coastal areas not more than 80 miles inland where the only real habitat is cow and sheep fields, but i have seen them once in a very lush soccer field.
OP is in australia which would probably only have liberty cap habitat at sea level in pastures in cooler regions like the u.s.

I found some in VIC yesterday, 180M ASL and About 50 KM inland. Good luck! If you want to find Psilocybe in ACT region, your best bet is to target Psilocybe subaeruginosa.
