thare are some books all about finding wild shrooms in your local woods maybe try picking those up but fisrt of all make sure it is indiginous to your area
Is that a joke? .Calico, your comment is the worst kind of reckless, 'cause it involves a life other than your own. Mushrooms can easily kill you, and a lot of poisonous mushrooms look a lot like psilocybin producing species. If it bruises blue that's a start, but take a spore print to be sure.
there are an abundence of very toxic mushrooms growing in the world dont go eatin every one you find even if you grow psylocybin cubensis they could be contaminated with a bacteria that could make you very sick or even dead
The reality is even if you find an authentic Psilobyn mushroom growing in the wild, the wild bacteria that thrives in the same substrate (growing medium) as shrooms. I grew up on a cattle farm, i know all about wild shrooms. The Shroom Farmer has to make sure his set up is 100% sterille/antiseptic to be sure his shrooms are safe. If you can't trust shrooms just grown in a nice clean house, how could you trust them growing in an open field.
There seems to be a never ending supply of people wanting to randomly eat fungi found in their yard.
Eating mushrooms because they look "like" something safe is simply playing Russian Roulette. If you quit posting here we'll assume the worst.
"Every mushroom hunter should be familiar with the three most dangerous groups of fungi. These are the amanitas, the false morels and a catch-all category known as little brown mushrooms (LBMS). Mushrooms in these groups cause virtually all the fatal mushroom poisonings in the United States, with amanitas alone accounting for 90 percent of mushroom-related deaths. The pictures and descriptions on the following pages will help you avoid them.
There also are hundreds of other mushrooms that will cause anything from a mild stomachache to severe physical distress-including vomiting, diarrhea, cramps and loss of coordination. Two common poisonous mushrooms of this type, the jack-o'lantern and the green-spored Lepiota, are described here. Although the symptoms of poisoning from these mushrooms may be alarming, they usually pass in 24 hours or less with no lasting effects. You should, however, notify your doctor immediately if you suspect mushroom poisoning of any kind. There is no quick and easy test that will separate edible from poisonous mushrooms-including peeling the cap, testing with a silver spoon, checking for insect damage or any other folk method. To avoid mushroom poisoning, you should follow these five rules:
Identify each and every mushroom you collect, and only eat those whose identification you are sure of. When in doubt, throw it out.
Strictly avoid: any mushroom that looks like an amanita (parasol-shaped mushrooms with white gills); all little brown mushrooms; all false morels.
Some people are allergic to even the safest mushrooms. The first time you try a new wild mushroom, it is important that you eat only a small amount and wait 24 hours before eating more.
As with other foods, rotting mushrooms can make you ill. Eat only firm, fresh, undecayed mushrooms.
Most wild mushrooms should not be eaten raw or in large quantities, since they are difficult to digest."
its darwinism and thinning the crowd, if they want to eat something that might fuck them up, for the chance it will fuck them up, and it kills them, well i guess we have 1 less person carrying the stupid genes
