The shaggy ink cap is good eating and unmistakeable, but don't eat a glistening ink cap

after researching inkcaps i can say there not inkcaps as they look nothing like them when there growing.

 

im 70% sure there liberty caps.

i'm 80% sure they're not, but the more i look at them.....

I'm afraid that none of those pictured are anything like liberty caps. Liberty caps have a more solid, creamy cap with a very small, pointed nipple on top. The stems are the same colour as the cap and are never completely straight - or so I've been told, you understand.

dont liberty caps with wet caps change and look like the single picture i posted, or so me research has led me to believe.

I don't understand all this lingo, but if you're thinking that they are 'Magic Mushrooms', please read the following article before consuming them, or offering advice about consuming them:

Basically, they are a Class A drug, which puts them in the same league as Heroine and Crack Cocaine in the eyes of the law.
