Possible Liberty Caps
    #5820818 - 07/04/06 05:30 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I found a small mushrooms near my house. I'm wondering if someone can help me ID it. I don't plan on eating it, regardless of what it is, I'm just interested in finding out if I ID'd it correctly.

I don't have any pics, sorry...

Habitat: Roadside lawn, not shaded well, on Prince Edward Island (eastern Canada). It was growing out of soil. Altitude = just slightly above sea level.

Gills are attached and tan brown.

The stem is approximately 3-4 cm long, about 4mm in diameter, brownish with some whiter areas, smooth textured, and is solid and thin.

The cap is about 1-1.5cm, tan coloured, tan, smooth, conical, and concave.

I'm preparing a spore print as I type, and will update this post with the results when it is complete.

The mushroom did not seem to bruise much, if at all. Maybe a very light bluish bruise, although I might be imagining it.

It has no scent; or, at least, not a strong one at all.

It has the characteristic liberty cap look, and it was wet on the cap when I found it (something from the mushroom itself, not environmental conditions).

Thanks for any help provided.

It is very unlikely that P. semilanceata would grow at this time of the year.

Are you sure the cap was conical and concave? Or did you mean convex? I'm guessing you will either have a brown-spored Conocybe or a dark-brown spored Panaeolus. As Anno said, this isn't the best time of year for liberty caps - but all it takes is one find for everyone to change their minds a bit!

True enough , I agree with xmush about one find changing minds, but liberty caps prime season is in and around fall, if your find proves to be liberty caps that would be so damn awsome.
