I think I found my first liberty cap! // Norway
    #26851913 - 07/29/20 02:01 PM (3 years, 5 months ago)

I took a long walk today looking for liberty caps. I found some spots that looked very much like good liberty habitat (as I've seen on other pictures). Tall grass with many grass types, among them many who looked like Deschampsia cespitosa, but they didn't have a tuft. I inspected the ground where said grass was growing and there was also a lot of Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus moss there at the bottom of the tall grass. I didn't find anything there however, but I'll come back there later in the season.

Anyway after searching for 2.5 hours I decided to take a rest on a bench on a grassy hill. While I was sitting there I noticed a brown mushroom on the grass right next to me. I picked it up and it had many of the signs that it could be a liberty cap:

* stripes along the cap
* gelatinous layer on the cap that can be peeled off
* some kind of material on top of the cap that hides the stripes
* kinda wavy stem


Measurements

* 2 mm stem diameter
* 1 cm cap diameter
* 5 cm long stem


Habitat

In Norway
The grass I picked it on was about 10 cm high. It was on a big grassy hill. There was no sign of Deschampsia cespitosa grass and Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus moss nearby.



I also tried taking a spore print, but the cap was badly mangled after I tried to peel it. There is some residue there but I am not sure if it is spores or just off-coloring from the cap.

So sorry, but that isn't a liberty cap.

aww! Can you tell me what indications you see that makes it not a liberty cap, so that I can stay clear of this type in the future?

Doesnt have any sign of a nipple. Liberty caps tend to be more rounded if that makes sense. To me its some sort of panaeolus sp.

Liberty caps almost always have a nipple. This could be an especially mangled one, but without a nipple I wouldn't trust it. Also if it was a loner, it may not be a lib. Liberty caps often have friends nearby,

Thanks all!

I will wait a couple weeks and check back at the place I found all the tall grass and the small moss that are often associated with libs.

Btw there was an area there that had really tall grass, like 1.5 meters. Do libs grow with such tall grass also? Or should I prioritize the 40/60 cm grass?

Are you sure? I thought liberty caps never grow directly from dung.

Not totally sure. Whether they grow from the dung or just around it dung is involved lol

Liberty caps dont grow in dung. They can grow near it, however.
