They look like shaggy manes at first glance but unless you see them autodigest with an inkey black slime on the ends of the opening gills, they aren't. Likely a relative, if it is the one I am thinking of, you can eat them, and then get sick after a single sip of any sort of alcohol.

But they are not the fun ones, it is kind of like someone going through the pennies in their pocket and thinking constantly that they will find a valuable one. It doesn't happen randomly very often.

Depending upon where you live, you are likely to find that the majority of the mushrooms you discover are not poisonous but not tastey either. Not all non-psychoactive mushrooms are poisonous. But the vast majority of all mushrooms are inactive. I can't for the life of me understand why so many people see some sort of mushroom - of the milllions of different ones out there, and automaticly figure that becaus they are mushrooms they must be magic. Well, there is magic in all mushrooms but rarely are they what you seek. As I have said, I have been foraging for mushrooms in various parts of this country and have NEVER found an hallucinogenic one unless I was directed to a certain patch at a certain time of year in a certain place - EVER.

P. Cubensis occupies a small segment of the entire range of mushrooms that are easy to spot once one has already seen them, and the forager can be assured (on the north american continent) that if they have seen them in the wild once or twice they will not mistake them again. To my knowlege, any mushroom that bruises blue and yields purple brown spores is indeed cubensis - in north america.

But, as I have said over and over again, one must take into consideration how they grow, where they were found, how they smell, how they bruise, how the gills are attached to the stem, what exactly they were growing on, how they mature, what season they grow in, were they in clusters or singular, what sort of pellicle they have (if any), and these things cannot be identified through a few pictures.

Even professionals have problems identifying mushrooms or are not wary enough to keep from putting a few "look alikes" in their basket, and you actually want to publish a few blurry pictures and get a difinitive answer as to their safety, let alone their activity?

Shaggy manes, cubensis, amenita muscaria, certain puff balls and a few others are examples of mushrooms so distinct that they can be identified through pictures alone, the others? not so much. you will not lose your liver if you eat just any mushroom - probably. But what sort of trip would you enjoy if you were uncertain as to the EXACT nature of what it was you were putting in your craw? what if just one of that batch of liberty caps you ate was a galerina and you weren't thinking or being greedy?

yet we see this over and over and over again "is this a magic mushroom"? get yourself a key, get yourself an expert on the species you are hunting for, do some research, go out on foraging trips with others and closely examine what it is you find - it's fun, and after a while you will being to understand the underworld of fungus. When you do, you will realize the foolishness of posting a few pictures with the hope that maybe it might be that special one.

So far in the years I have been here, I have seen one - ONE person publish pictures of something that may have been azurescence. One, now what do you think your chances are?

And - if you do decide to try to eat it, do your hospital and your loved ones a favor and leave a labeled sample of what it was you ate on your kitchen counter so that the doc at least has a fighting chance of saving your life.

I dont think anybody was implying that they were better than anyone. That is not usually how this website works, Usually. I just think that people were giving you there thoughts on the mushrooms you gave pictures of and were showing a genuine concern for your safety . No there not the mushrooms that will give you the trip you were inquiring about, There are more then two million types of fungus in the world. Chances are those are offspring of the spores that were in your bag of soil when it was packaged. One time I got a bag of peat moss and about 3 weeks into it there were false morels in a few of my pots. I thought it was trippy as hell, only thing better would have been some black morels for a side with my steaks. Dont take it personally , It is all good:)

I think he was being informative. If you have a shroom question, you want him to answer not some random person...
Have you looked into growing them... that is what we are all about on here. It is roughly $300 to piece together your grow kit. We are here to talk lol.

This is not an "is this cannabis" thread. You do realise that the wrong kind of mushroom could make you SERIOUSLY ill? If i went out picking mushrooms i would want a trusted and experienced friend there telling me what i had, not the word of a stranger on an internet forum. When it comes to mushrooms, if people shot you down or mock you, chances are they're jut taking your life into consideration when they make such posts regardless of how they come across.

there a wider range of psilocybe species that inhabit N. America bruising blue and producing purple/brown spores other than p. cubensis. there are also a handful of hallucinogenic mushrooms outside the psilocybe family. that said it is still a small percentage of all the mushroom species and none should be consumed without extensive knowledge on what you are consuming.
