Photo ID is near impossible but....could be psilocybe coprophilia? (Not edible or hallocigenic). Looks too dark to be a liberty cap.

Early autumn is usually the best time to find mushrooms, especially on warm days after some rain.
But you really need to find someone who knows a lot about mushrooms before you start eating them, I.e. go foraging with an expert. They’ll teach you what is safe and what must be avoided. Often the latter can look very like the former, which is where expertise comes in very very handy.

Is that a grey cap or purple? The Amethyst Deceiver looks a bit like that but is unmistakably purple.
I've been out looking over the last few days. There are a few ceps around and plenty of other boletus. Also found a tawny grisette and a panther cap today. The former is worth finding, the latter is worth avoiding.

In the Peak District these days and I gather it’s a good hunting ground for lots of types including liberty caps. Not really into getting mangled these days but could be a laugh.
What time of year is generally peak mushroom?
There are a few poking through on my usual dog walking route now including this. Anybody know what it is?
