Lib Lookalikes UK
    #26613025 - 04/19/20 01:24 PM (3 years, 9 months ago)

Hi guys,

Bit of a weird one for you. So I'm creating this post to ask if there are any deadly lib lookalikes that grow in similar habitat at the same time of year? UK, sheep grazing fields, high altitude, October time.

I'm probably being paranoid, I had several really good experiences a few months back and have two seasons successfully identifying them without any problems.
The problem is I haven't touched these since October, obviously they're dried and kept in an airtight container but because it's been a while since I picked them the paranoia that I could've picked something else up is keeping me from trying any because I can't safely ID them all shrivelled up.

So yeah, unsure if this is an impossible question to answer, maybe I'm being a bit ignorant...

But generally speaking are there any deadly lookalikes that I could've picked? I wouldn't have picked anything that doesn't at least somewhat resemble a lib...

Depends. Some people think galerinas look like libs.

I'm no expert but I'd like to think I could separate libs from galerinas based on the gill colouration...

I remember there being some Mycena and Semiglobata growing in the same area as the 'libs' I picked if that helps but I could always tell the difference, semiglobata was more of a rounded slimy cap and the mycena were generally a darker stem and much were easier to snap than a lib

I understand I'm kind of asking the impossible here :eek: but say for example if a mycena did manage to sneak in somehow are there any deadly ones I should be concerned with?

Mycenas have white gills. I believe the toxicity of the mycenas is largely unknown, but muscarine has been found in a few species. But this won't kill you in such small doses. I would worry more about the conocybes and galerinas. But if you are sure the gills are all dark purplish brown, then you're all good. There's nothing that resembles liberty caps and have the same gill colouration which are toxic.

Thank you for the help, Psilosadhu
Currently waiting for my first ever cubes to finish inoculating so I might just try some patience and wait for them to be on the safe side... I'm like 99.9% sure they're just libs but that .1% paranoia going in the would probably ruin the trip anyway, this damn lockdown got me so bored!

Do you have a picture of them or are they all ground up?

Hi again, bit of a late response. They aren't exactly all ground up.. these were just leftover from last season and it's mostly stems/loose caps that have been kept in a mason jar

Do these look okay to you guys?

Some looks alright. Some rotten ones. If they were in a better condition it would be easier. It looks like a bunch of too far gone libs, but can't be 100% sure.

If they are libs, they're still ok. What I meant was that it's even harder to id dried, half rotten mushrooms than those who are dried when they were fresh. I believe they are libs as well.
