Can you help ID please? I have some experience forging, but just wanna see if you also think these are liberty caps. Thanks

hello everyone, it's my first post in this thread, i like it a lot.

i wanted to ask your opinion about a thought that i had while harvesting today. Do you think that some of the mushrooms should be left in the field in order to have the spores remaing there to reproduce the species? because all the times i have been harvesting i have been taking home every one of the shrooms that i found and i felt a little bit bad...

Is there a rule about this?

Also could youe please id these shrooms? i am not sure about them

Keep seeing guys like this (the littler ones, not their big friend!) I don't think they're libs, but they also don't seem exactly like any of the lib lookalikes in the UK. What are they?

…considering all the other ones I’ve found were tiny. Too shiny on the cap and no blue bruising so I assume my gut feeling of nope is right and it’s just some paneolus, but thought I’d double check.

Been to the usual spots in the peaks where they grow in abundance every year. Not seen a single cap as of yet which is a huge disappointment.

Mostly been finding small ones so far this season, found a few bigger ones today, gods I love this time of year

I went mushroom picking, and the weather in the days leading up to it had been quite good. I found 10g and knew that, following the next rainfall, many more would grow. Two days of rain and one sunny day later, I tried again—and sure enough, I gathered another 50g (dried). I now have more than enough for a year, so I can leave the mushrooms where they are.

I wish you all a good rest of season!!!

Hi! I've found this (pictures) today. But I actually don't want to make mistakes because where I found them, other lookalikes where also growing, and at some point it was quite tricky to distinguish them (at least from above). I've some doubt about some of them (notified on the paper).

What are your perspectives about?

Thanks in advance for your review!

Growing mycelium indoors

Took some this weekend and it fixed my rebound congestion from using nose spray 3 times daily for a month. Completely took me off guard as after I took them my nose remained clear all day and didn’t need another spray. Sunday morning it was a little blocked so I sprayed my nose once and after that it hasn’t blocked up again. Incredibly bizarre.

Went on my first hunt but had no luck in a spot I know others have found them in before. It had drizzled a bit the day before but the ground wasn't at all wet and I'm wondering if that was the issue. Is it better to wait for a downpour (none on the horizon!) or is it more about getting the right spot?

Helloo! If i plan on going on a hike in a few days but im gonna spend the night at a hotel and go back home the next day, how I should store them till i get home?
Thanksss!

I am not sure that any of these are libs. Top middle seems closest. All of these were found in Hathersage in a naturally fertilised field, amongst grass.

I'll do the spore print test later today and tell you the results. Many thanks people!

Found in the Pentland’s, just wondering if it’s just a big lib or possibly another species! Size just threw me off a bit when comparing it to the others
