Thankyou guys I kind of figured they wernt liberty caps because the dont have the tips like that and are bigger then they should be I just wanted to make sure. And I don't think the other ones are actually wavy caps but still not 100% sure. I'll be looking in a better spot in a week to pick some shrooms. these ones I just got from the woods in my back yard and isn't the best place to find mushrooms. so I hope I will have better luck next week.
Thankyou very much this helps out alotwhen you find a good field of shrooms, you will offten come across whiter ones with the greasy younger ones that look like the ones on the left, but without such thick stems
no woods, you want open fields and rain

When I started taking mushrooms in the uk there was millions of them by the time I stopped around 95 you could barely pick a trip from fields that had produced for generations before me, one place in particular was widely known for its mushrooms but they stopped appearing???you wanna live whare i live, they populate the fields round here, not sure if the sheep shit helps, but wales uk is famous for there mushrooms

I've got 100,000s of acres I'm in Scotland your free to walk the length and width of the country.
I've never thought about growing them when I was taking them I didn't know anything about growing and I always expected next year to be better or normal?
This wasn't just local to me the number of mushrooms has diminished by 75/85% I was travelling 100s of miles, not specifically for mushrooms but it gets ingrained I still look for them and the millennium was the last time I had them, i went to Amsterdam for the occasion, it was fantastic

theres a spray on the market for farmers /land owners to stop them from growing, these could be responsible for some decline.
Yes if you can maintain a sterile enviroment, not hard at all, you can buy these . very easy to grow

Those are not shrooms. Be careful friend. We used to find them in the cow pasture up the road, it is easy to tell those ones. Home grown is a good option as well.

From start to finish growing mushrooms how long approximately to get a crop, getting spores isn't difficult they are there just nothing like the numbers there used to be.
That's interesting I'd always disregarded that theory but if there's a product specifically for it maybe I've been wrong all along?

ive been doing some research to see if i could find any info. all i came up with was
1/ yes it exists but its behind the counter as it were.
or
2/the feed companys put anti fungals in the food that stops any fungi from comming up in a field that the animals have grazed apon.
the info i got was from the mouth of a farmers son who stated that his father was going to get some to stop allthe hippy types from invading his fields. so the info is by no means conclusive in any way shape or form.
mushrooms do move from field to field , i remember fields not producing shrooms and new fields producing them, wether that was due to others picking the shrooms before we got theres im not sure
