Where you live @William Shatter ?

I lived in Eugene Oregon for a year and some local hippies took me shroom hunting a couple times.. Looked just like those ... They called them liberty caps.

British Colombia, not far from Oregon at all. I was thinking they were liberty caps as well but everyone else convinced me otherwise so far, now your tippin the scales. Im interested in getting some more opinions, would also like to find some way to test them without eating them lol there legal in bc so I wonder if I would take them to a lab or something.

they look very smilar to psilocybe cubensis but if i were you i will be scared from wild mushroom. If that mushroom has toxic material inside only one muhsroom could be enough to kill a total family which is very common at rural areas of the world.

I ate a mushroom in a cow pasture during high school. I did not get off but the lymph glands expanded under my jaw. Fortunately, I did not suffocate--I was just about to ask my parents to take me to the ER. I also escaped liver damage, evidently.

Anyway, the skinny stemmed ones in the pics look like liberty caps to me. I haven't been out picking for a long time. Test a liberty cap (and maybe cyan, I forget) by looking for the viscid pellicle: split the head at the edge and look for a clear film membrane.

Edit from shroomery: "Liberty Caps aka, Psilocybe Semilencaeata have a pellicle..THAT is a pellicle
P cyanscens, sometimes, have an outside protective layer of extra gelatenous skin that is sometimes called a pellicle, but you sure as hell can't peel it off like liberty caps"

These are cyans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybe_cyanescens
"Although not closely related, Psilocybe cyanescens has been at least occasionally confused with Galerina marginata with fatal results. The two mushrooms have generally similar habits and appearances, and bear a superficial resemblance to each other such that inexperienced mushroom-seekers may confuse the two.[1] The two species can grow side-by-side, which may add to the chance of confusion.[15]"

hahahaha, I was planning on growing my own, you can buy kits all over town here, but when i walked outside and saw all these on my front lawn, for a moment I thought - why buy a kit when they may be potentially growing naturally in my yard.. but i feel you 100%, and im not about to be eating anything im not 100% certain about, fuck I havent done mushrooms in like 13 years and the last time I tripped balls, wasnt fun, so I doubt I would even do them again anyways haha I more so just want to know if they are. Maybe ill go buy a cpl pet mice and feed them little peices first.. haha jokes

Hey guys. I love in BC. Lots of rain and conifers. Found tons of these growing this morning. They all appear to be magic mushrooms. My friend thinks so as well but I don't want to try them without knowing for sure.

Anybody care to take a look and let me know what they think?
