Maybe Psilocybe Strictipes???
    #27030208 - 11/09/20 01:03 PM (3 years, 3 months ago)

Hi all! First time poster but been scrolling the forum about a year or so now.

I have uploaded 2 pictures of a big (what I believe) to be a Liberty Cap. Found on clumpy old fields on a hill in South East England. I normally find a few small ones at a time whenever searching these fields but this time came across the biggest one I've had! I'm almost certain it's a Liberty Cap, just wanted to make sure.

Thank-you for your time!

Was it growing from the grass/ground or dung? 

It has a resemblance to psilocybe fimetaria to me.

It was growing from a little mound type thing with moss all over, the fields are huge and heavily grazed by deer. I don't know the elevation either but it was quite high up... atleast 100ft or so I guess!

Hmm if it was growing from moss/grass sod I'd say its a giant lib, with a very well opened cap.

If directly from dung then I'd edge towards p.fimetaria.

Unsure though, wait for a trusted identifier to give their opinion

Okay thank-you for your input there - I'm definitely leaning on it being a Lib as it's got a nice pronounced nip on the top, but you're right I'll wait until identified.

Does anybody know how it got to look like this? Is it just age maybe? And as an estimate, how old would anybody think this mushroom could be?
