    yes i know my hands are dirty so save your breath. i would really like an outside opinion on these mushrooms and whether or not they are liberty caps. so help me out here.

    Iโ€™m no mushroom expert but Iโ€™m thinking no. The gills (the underside of the mushroomโ€™s head) should I believe be a brownish colour. In you pictures those gills seem too white/pale to be liberties.

    The one at the bottom of the pic looks like a possibility as it has the pronounced nipple on top that libbies have. The top one doesnโ€™t appear to have that nipple, possibly just the angle of the photo though.

    Are you based in UK because weโ€™re at the wrong time of the year for mushroom season here; which is a further indication that theyโ€™re not.

    There are others here though that know more about mycology and may provide a more informative answer.

    I am in the US in Ohio. So Iโ€™m honestly not sure if we are in the same time zone. And thank you for the advice!

    Well mushroom season for liberty caps is late autumn/fall. Also where did you find them; field or woodland?

    no

    I actually found them growing in a rotting log. Which leads me to believe that they arenโ€™t liberty caps. Oh well! I will resume my search in the fall. Thanks!

    Na they not what youโ€™re looking for. Liberties grow in shortish grass in fields.
