Hi guys. Thank you for previous ID.
I went for some more hunting yesterday but some of the mushrooms were a little different colour. I think it's because no rain for last two days but I would be thankful if someone could confirm.
They still have all characteristics of libs, but are nearly white. Is that normal? Thanks

Please post this in the identification forum this is not a post to ID mushrooms it is for posting what Libs you have found.

All libs, nice one. When a liberty cap mushroom first emerges, it tends to be moist, and is usually a lovely shade of brown (with a hint of olive green maybe). If conditions are damp and wet, the mushroom cap will likely remain a darker browny colour. But if the rain stops for long enough, the mushroom cap basically dries out somewhat, taking on the ivory-white colour. If the white cap is re-wetted, it will darken to a muddy brown colour with some fleshy colour too, but never quite returns to the browny-green of the freshly emerged mushroom.
They're much easier to spot when at least some have turned white, or are older, more than a couple of days. When freshly emerged and still a browny-green colour, they're very easy to miss, especially when it's raining/windy and visibility is difficult.
As they dry, some caps take on various "two-tone" patterns, especially when very small. The resulting appearance can cause confusion.
By the way, when wet, and certainly when only a day or two old, it's possible to peel the so-called pellicle off the cap, the presence of which is a confirming feature in the identification of psilocybe semilanceata aka libs. The pellicle is basically a translucent one-cell-thick membrane (like the membrane found between layers of an onion) covering the cap. The pellicle is the reason a fresh or wet lib feels slimy. Grab at the edge of the cap with a couple of fingernails and it should lift off. This feature, along with "blueing" (the stem or cap develops a definite blue staining, sometimes almost unnoticeable; not always present, but often occurs after bruising of the stem/cap), and the correct spore-print colour (brownish purple) are the 3 confirming features of liberty caps, when there's any doubt.
Hope this helps.

I'm trying to post some photos, I got 431grams of fresh in 2 days in a field that was poor for it last year. Who said 2020 was a bad year.last Sunday when all the caps were white. So delighted.

413grams? Wow That's inspiring me to keep looking. What kind of temperatures are you looking at? I'm wondering if it's getting too cold here on the other side of Europe.
