Sorry Ern, but it's almost certainly not Liberty Cap. They are mainly European.
Quote:
"Liberty caps grow throughout Europe, where it is assumed to be an endemic species. It is thought that they were introduced to other countries by the movement of livestock. It now occurs throughout the temperate regions of the northern and southern hemispheres. In the US and Canada, P. semilanceata occurs along the west coast, from British Columbia to California, and in some locations on the East Coast, from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland. In the Southern Hemisphere, P. semilanceata grows in Tasmania, south-east Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, and South Africa."
I think the only ones that would grow on a lawn in Northeast U.S. that are psychoative would be Panaeolus Subbalteatus aka Paneolus Cinctulus.
They are pretty rare. You will need to post in mushroom ID for someone to take a look though.

Try opening your search results in a new tab.
1st go to the search page and type whatever you want to search for.
Then instead of clicking on link, you can do one of the following:
* right click the link and click open in new tab * Scroll click (using this scroll wheel on the mouse, push down) * hold don't control and click
Now each link should be open in a new tab. Read the links that you want and then either close them and go back to the search engine tab or keep them all open
Hey BigDub!! Been a long time. You are one of the guys on here that I am so grateful for. Thank you for all your support and help in my early days on here when I thought my head was going to explode! Lol. I am now a professional amature fungi cultivator! Lol Thank for the tips you just provided for me here on this subject. However, I use an I pad. I was actually referring to when I first found this platform. That’s when I had a hard time navigating…,Hence my thread title…(TROUBLE NAVIGATING) I still can but not even a fraction of when I was a noobie. Coincidentally I was just considering trying to find a used iBook. I learned how do use a computer back in the 90s and learned on a Mac. My three year old son was who taught me!! Haha. He is now 28 and an environmental scientist/engineer up in Boston working for New England aquarium among other companies. Talk about living the dream. I live vicariously through him. Anyway, I hope all is well with you and you are having much fun with mycology and in life in general. Thanks again for your help.

Hey Faht! I did find it thank you. I need to give myself more credit. I only had a lot of trouble when I first signed up on this platform. I can navigate much better nowadays. Hope you’re enjoying your summer and all is well with you on all levels.
Hey LT.p Thank you for your input as always, as you have been a great help to me… As you know. You are correct after posting pictures of my finds, I found out that they are Panaeolus Cint…(sp). And another type of Panaeolus. I picked like a pound of these things!!! Haha (Wet weight of course) my customers lawn is absolutely littered with them. After it rains or just a very humid misty night, they just pop up everywhere. However I have to be careful because they are mixed in with another type. The Panaeolus’ have a brownish gray-ish undercarriage/gills. Then there’s another species that have a light beige/rust colored gills and the cap is paper thin. Not too sure what they are. Anyway Lieutenant, I hope you are happy and healthy and doing well both physically and spiritually. As always thanks for your help and support about the past six months

You can still open new tabs by long pressing links and then clicking open in new tab
It's a great way to read lots about a specific topic without losing your place
Thanks man I am doing good

I don’t think I’ll ever get used to growing PE’s. It seems like every time I grow a batch the substrate forms and grows differently ever time. These particular tubs only needed one 1/4-1/2 inch of jiffy starter casing and it tightened up! Past PE tubs took several layers of casing&patching. Unlike the rest of my tubs of regular cubes where the substrate colonizes with rizomorphic growth and is then followed by hyphea knots, pins, fruit etc…the PE variety, the substrate just turns white with the substrate tightening up becoming like a solid mass as it colonizes and I don’t see the knots forming on top like other cubes. Then, at some point around three weeks I either see pins forming or I just get fruits pushing their way through the surface. Or it appears like the surface becomes bumpy with the bumps revealing themselves as caps/fruit. It’s never consistent. What’s up with that?! Now, here’s my other issue/question. Along side of my 2 PE tubs I had 2 lizard king tubs.(MY FAVORITE) I was so excited about these two tubs because the entire substrate was covered with knots. I’ve never seen such a dense amount of healthy knots!! So, I was expecting a wall to wall flush and….WRONG! Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. What would cause that to happen? Here’s a couple of pics of both sets of tubs. The Lizard Kings, and the PE’s. Any and all opinions, suggestions, and comments are welcomed and encouraged…as always! 
These first top 2 pics are the Lizard Kings that are loaded with knots but didn’t produce anything close to a canopy.

 These pics are the PE tubs. First two are at around two weeks, and the second set are the same tubs on day 19. If you enlarge you can see the fruits forming more so in the tub with the metal FAE vents. So guys, that’s what I have going on in a nutshell. If I didn’t bore you too much and you cared you add any comments I would greatly appreciate it as I always love talking shop with you guys. Lol. I’m just hoping that I don’t get blobs/mutants because of the way they’re coming from underneath. I don’t think that’s gonna happen because the substrate tightened up and there wasn’t all that rizomorphic growth on top like the first time I tried growing penis envy and did not know that I had to case it. Hope you all had a nice Independence Day. Up here in New England we had crappy weather all weekend including this morning. Not as bad as Florida is about to get. Hope everybody is well, happy and healthy, both physically and spiritually. Mush love to you all! Peace, love, and Mycelium:) Ernie

PE generally take a bit longer than regular cubes.

No, no, I understand that it takes longer. Usually about three weeks. I’ve grown at least 8 tubs of PE. Besides my Lizard Kings, PE is my favorite cube to grow. The reason being is I find drying and cleaning small, skinnier fruit to be a pain in the ass. I prefer fruit to be 5-6 inches tall and at least 1/4 inch-1/2 inch thick stems. Plus they are just so much more aesthetically pleasing to the eye when they’re fully dried. Not to mention when they’re skinny they’re much more fragile. Anyway, my post was more about how the substrate forms and grows so much more different than other cubes and also different in every time I grow PE. Thanx for your comment Brutha.

Looks like I’m going to have a mix of mutant blobs and regular fruits if you enlarge the pic you can see the floor of the substrate is covered with large pins/ caps/ starting fruits

I don’t know why am getting blobs because I did case it and the substrate did tighten up like it always did when I grew them. Any suggestions?

Ernie man!
What makes lizard king your favorite?
Have you done GT yet?
You gotta run some enigma buddy, I'd love to see what you pull off with that.

Actually my first grow is what made them my favorite. It was a wall-to-wall flush and they were all 6 inches tall with a nice thick stems. After that it just kept pushing out fruit for months later. I wish I could say the same for this batch but it was not. It’s still putting out fruit but not like my first try. I have tons of MSS’ Golden teacher one of them. Maybe I’ll give them a shot sometime. What’s in those pictures of penis envy. Those are my real favorite but they’re in a category by themselves. Thanks for reaching out and saying hello. Nice to see you again. Peace, love, and mycelium Brutha Ergot Ernie
PS…. I would love to try some enigma I don’t know much about it but I’m willing to try anything
 For anyone who’s interested here is my mess/mass of PE’s. Though I did case them I don’t think I cased them with a thick enough layer. I was taught to stop adding casing layers when the substrate tightens up which it did after only one layer of casing material. It was no longer colonizing with rizomorphic mycelium and just tightened up. So, I’m not sure what I did wrong. Though the majority of fruit produced here is normal there are some mutations\blobs. The other strange thing here is the difference in amounts and size of the fruits in the two tubs. They were inoculated from the same culture,same grain(popcorn), at the same time, spawned to the same substrate, same tub type, same liner, same lighting, same moisture/field capacity. The only difference is one tub has the metal venting inserts. However…there is still two layers of micropore tape over all of the FAE holes…with inserts or without. So why would there be such a dramatic difference in fruit production???
