Ok, I think I might be familliar with the 2 red and white ones, yes they will make you feel like shit if you eat them directly, here is how I heard some people did them, mainly prisoners in russian gulags, they would get one guy (the bitch) to drink tons of whater followed by the tea made of the shrooms, as he starts urinating they would drink his piss and trip for like 12 hours, while the bitch would be sick but survive more often than not...I do not recall exectly where I have read this ,its been a long time, but the mushrooms look similar...who can be sure if they are the same species? And oh yeah, dont eat strange mushrooms...

Those top ones look like a variant of fly agaric...
i wouldn't eat them though

I only trust ze gold caps

fly agarics.... you boil some water in a saucepan, then you use a strainer to dip the shrooms in for 30secs no more!!! then drink drink the water and your off on a little venture for few hours.

If I goto a cow farm where and whut would I be looking for? Can anyone get a pic??

Mr. Dro

Tall grass, cow patties, golden capped white mushies with a greyish/black underbelly. They bruise blue when touched or pressed. I've found them growing in dirt on cow fields, but 95% of them grow from the cow patties. I have found mushies on cow farms that look exactly like Psilocybe Cubensis that grow their but the underbellies are pink -don't eat these; they also don't blue when touched, and are much rarer. DON'T EAT A MUSHROOM IF YOU AREN'T 100% SURE IT IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!

Happy huntin'!

I'm getting to this thread rather late, but here goes.

The first pictures you posted are amanita muscaria. They are poisonous, yes. But rarely does anyone eat enough for it to cause any serious harm except stomach cramping. And yes, they are hallucinogens. Siberian shamans used to use them (and still do) for spiritual purposes. They can be found pretty much all over the world, and have been used in various cultures, including European ones. And they are not one of the fatal varieties of amanita like pantherina... They're the genuine article, I'm sure of it. And despite what everyone's been saying here, they DO NOT contain psilocybin. Psilocybe cubensis, azurescens, etcetera are NOT poisonous, and do not cause food poisoning. They're just a bit hard to digest... The stomach cramps are psychosymptomatic. It's the mushrooms playing with your nervous system, that's all.

The active alkaloids in amanita muscaria are ibotec acid and muscimol, not psilocybin. They are both hallucinogenic, but ibotec acid is very slightly poisonous, and will cause often cause nausea. I've ate a bunch of Siberian amanitas straight before with no stomach discomfort, however. There are two ways you can reduce the effects of the ibotec acid. One is what the Siberian Shamans do... Someone eats the caps, and then others drink the urine of the one who ingested it. The liver filters out the ibotec acid, and a decent amount of muscimol is excreted in the urine. Urine is clean, and people do actually do this (even in modern countries), but most people wouldn't go this far, for obvious reasons. The other thing you can do is fry it up for a few minutes on medium heat, and eat it between two buns, or straight. This converts some of the ibotec acid into muscimol, lessening the nauseating effect. And don't worry. It tastes remarkably like poultry. It's actually good eating. An average dose is a cap the size your first. Some people need two to get them going. If they're fresh and not dried, you stand a good chance of tripping. It's unlike magic mushrooms, so don't have any expectations.

Also, the spongy mushrooms that look like brains are morels. I still wouldn't eat them, because there are a few varieties of poisonous ones. Be sure before you ingest anything.

As for the other mushrooms, some of them might be a variety of cubensis. But don't take my word for it. The only way to be absolutely sure you're not eating anything that might seriously hurt you is to take a sport print. Cut off the stem, and lay a mushroom with the veil intact on white printer paper. It will drop the spores as it dries. Take an amazing picture of it, show it to me, and I MIGHT be able to identify it for you. There are a lot of "imposter" mushrooms that look like cubensis varieties, so for God's sake, don't eat anything.

Also, to the poster that mentioned the notebook paper/bluing... That's a myth. The bluing is a natural reaction of the mushroom to injury and oxydation. If you make a few small cuts on the stem, and it blues, there might be psilocybin in there. Then again, there are a number of poisonous species that also blue. This will not rub off on any paper. Growers do this to test to see if their substrate produced shrooms of some potency. That's all. Spore prints are one of the few ways that might actually identify it... Bluing alone is not enough. I'm not exactly sure why you're mushroom hunting if you don't know what you're looking for... Injesting anything can be dangerous or even deadly.

P.S. Enjoy those amanitas, but be careful, and don't eat too many. Vomit if you need to. Be safe.

I was going to make a comment on the Red mushies, but it seems to me that it has just been covered. But the one with the cat is a Cubensis. I'm pretty certain that if you squeeze the stem or cut it, it will go a shade of blue. I just picked a nice bag of 23 Cubensis today. Very excited.

Good luck bud...

first one, amanita muscaria, almost definately

last two, both kill you painfully as far as i can tell from what i can find on the net.

careful guys

Ditto on the last line of 420chazz's post. Be certain, or be dead (or at the least, violently ill). Fungus hunting is a hobby that requires a lot of study and experience.

Iv seen those red caps before. They made most of us puke but not all of us, We also had to eat a good amount of them to trip.

I wouldnt suggest using those red caps, bad idea.

For the other shroom Im not too sure, Good luck on finding out tho

The first two pics you posted are of Fly Agaric mushrooms, a.k.a. amanita muscaria.

Although they have been used for hundreds of years by Siberian shamans, they are also known to cause extreme nausea, diarrhea, and a host of other things.

But if you keep the doses small, it wouldn't be hard to enjoy it. Agarics can give you a really great trip.

Just do some research on that strain and see if you'd like to consume them.

Fly Agarics are one of mans oldest hallucinogens. Be very very careful.

This really is a dangerous activity, something I dont think should be taken lightly. At least go read up on it, i recommend "Plants of the Gods, their sacred,healing,and hallucinogenic powers" (got mine off Amazon), and Psilocybin mushrooms of the world, an identification guide"

I still dont recommend eating anything you find. But you can send them to me and i will analyze them for you

Mycology has always fascinated me.

ive done my share of tripping on shrooms and buying and selling shrooms...and i have never, ever come across shrooms like that...please dont eat them

The second one you posted doesn't ring any bells, and I don't think it's a psilocybin. It just looks like a wild mushroom, though not like any edible ones I've ever seen.

Thanks for backing me up PokeSmot. The Fly Agaric is an ancient hallucinogen and psychedelic. But be forewarned, a lot of variables have to be taken into account.

those shrooms are called amanitas and are perfectly safe to eat within reason of course. they are the most powerfull of the psychoactive shrooms and your one lucky fucker to have em. although a little immature they should really give you a crazy ride.

there called amanitas and there really crazy and fairly safe to eat within reason. give you a hell of a trip
