Not untill you tell us what is under that grass and what color the spore print/gills are.
My guess so far would be coprinus by the way those caps are splitting.. But I could be wrong.

Ahhh... Well I doubt Libs are up yet over there, it'll prolly be fall before those start to show up. I place my bet on some species of Coprinus.

They sure look like psilocybe semilanceata to be. However, They could be Conocybe or Coprinus. But most likely are libs. Mainlyt becaause of the umbo and/or nipples on the caps.\

WHAT?!?!?!? THOSE could be Libs?!?!?!? Holy shit..they are EVERYWHERE here!! I can barely go outside without spotting them all over the place. They don't look like Liberty Caps..lots of pics I see online have darker caps. Are corpinus active?

Sorry man............i hate to argue with MJ cause he is so cool.....but, those are coprinus. Where i live they pop up all the time and i see that umbro and splitting on immature ones that lose there moisture source when young alot. If you eat them don't drink alcohol for several weeks because they don't mix in your system.

I would tend to agree...coprinius...not Psilocybe semilanceata.
These are they...

Based on that picture I guess I can see the resemblance, something still doesn't jive with me though...the cap colors are different, the stems don't seem long eneugh. I guess we need a sporeprint...should be purple brown and the bases of the stems should bruise blue...maybe even more of the stem. Semis should also have a removable pellicle on the cap...kind of jelly like.
Let us know
Cheers

Cool. I sort of doubted that such a frequent mushroom would be the Liberty Cap. By the way, I found this mushroom growing alone on a large hump of good soil and grass. The weather has been abnormally cool for this season, and I was wondering it if might be a Liberty Cap. If not, any idea what it might be? Check it out-

It appears to be Coprinus atramentarius. I note the spore print (black) on the mushroom most toward the lower right corner, and the deliquescence (dissolving of the gills and cap) on the uppermost mushroom (toward the upper left). The nipple like feature of the caps is common in Coprinus as the caps begin to dry out. Typically C. atramentarius has a more rounded cap, but Arora notes that there are many varieties and that var. acuminatus has a pointed or umbonate cap.

It has yellow stem. I never saw a Coprinus with yellow stem.
So nobody thinks its Bolbitius? They grow all around my house and these look pretty much like them. Bolbitius vitellinus is also deliquescing with age.

The yellow stem is an interesting point. I basically ignored the overall color cast in the picture because there is no way to verify that I'm actually seeing the colors in the picture properly (the stem might actually be more tawny than the picture appears, for example). The reason I didn't go with Bolbitius is that they have a rusty-orange to rusty-brown spore print (Arora), and the specimen at the far lower right appears to have a black spore print from the mushroom above it. If a spore print were taken and it showed a rusty color rather than black then I would agree with Bolbitius, since, as you say, they also deliquesce.
-------------------- Happy mushrooming!
