Liberty Cap ID Request (2nd Time Lucky?)

Hey everyone,
I was hoping someone could help identify these mushrooms which i am hoping are Liberty Caps.
Weather Conditons: Clear and sunny, temp was around 11c
Location: UK, sheep pasture, both short & long grass with reeds, steep hillside
Unfortunately i did not have my digital camera with me and had to take these pictures with my camera phone. It would be great if someone help identify these:

Looks like a mixture of different species to me. Some look indeed like Libs, others look more like Psilcybe Coprophia to me, but that's just a guess.

Only the one in the middle looks -at least- a little like one to me...

youre gonna need to separate them all and look for the ones with nipples on top of em and then check to see if they blue at all. thats about the best advice i could give you to sort out that mess.

Don't look like the libs I know to be honest. Not every shroom with a nipple will be a MM. In saying that, the one on the left of the coin looks a possible? but take a spore print to confirm.
I've walked my fields today and found wax caps and a few odds and sods but no libs yet.

i would say 98% are not libs, im not sure the one next to the penney on the left looks like one but thats it, the stems are to thick to be libs. Thats by 2 cents.

You've got a mixed bag there. Stropharia semiglobata and Psilocybe semilanceata I recon.

I'm with amatoxin. There is a liberty cap in the middle of the photo. The rest is stropharia semiglobata.

Thanks for all the comments.
Unfortunately 95% of the mushrooms i managed to pick were not Liberty Caps. I am going to go back next weekend though and try once again, i will hopefully be able to identify Liberty Caps far more easily now!

They grow in the same habitat so these mushrooms so your looking in the right place, look out for the nipple and small cuticle(invisible skin) that you can remove from the cap.
