Is this Psilocybe Cubensis?

First time ever picking any type of mushrooms, i did some research but i would like to be 100% certain that i will not get sick if i eat this.

Does it bruise blue?

Take a spore print and if it is dark purple and bruises blue then it is P. cubensis.


You'll get better response here.

yes that is a straight gold caps you got there sir. aka purple ringers, or cube, short for cubensis..i pick em all the time they are good, eat 40 grams wet(yes weight it out if possible) or 3.5 dry and you will have a pretty mild trip, drink lots of water, and orange juice, they chew down worse when theya re fresh tho and you might get more "nautious" like a drunk feeling, whatever you do, dont worry about your trip man, just et things flow, and go with it, just concetrate on having fun, and being responsible for the actions you take, like i decided to go running barefoot on a dirt paved road once, ad idea, next morning i wake up and my feet are all bloody and i start freaking out.. moral of story, get some more of these f you can. they tend to sell pretty good too,

I'm 99% sure you're correct..check the bruising..but if u wanna make sure you don't get sick,throw those away and grow your own.

they were in fact psylocybe cubensis
i ate them at a block party type thing and had a bad trip lol, but can anyone tell me why those mushrooms are only growing on 1 pile of shit in the yard? theres piles thats not even 10 feet away but they dont have the good stuff growing on them :l.

yeah you don't want to eat mushrooms at a block party. They aren't exactly recreational. Well in low doses they can be. On high doses you get pretty couch locked and just fry balls for 5 hours or so, and you don't wanna be around loud drunk people.

I'm not sure why they aren't growing on every pile of shit. I don't know much about outdoor mycology. The moisture and everything has to be just right. I'm sure you'll see more though. Maybe if the poo is really dry.... spray mist some water on it

when i go out picking, theres like 1/1000 piles that have the good stuff on them, its about the spores man, usually when i find a nice colony i know i should take a good look around as they seem tog row together, i went out picking yesterday and found a TON of liberty caps growing right next to the cubes, it was amazing, as both of the strains were nicely colonized and the fruit was ready to be picked, so next time you see the good stuff an you pick it, dont forget to tap the cap right above the manure it grew from and you should see some fruits soon, oh and by the way, do you cut yours when you pick them or pluck them with the roots and manure? i would suggest you cut them and leave the roots as un-touched as possible..

You need a ...well..I'm frying so I'm dipping out....

Could be about the spores..but is more like the 'setting'..I e. ..ur enviornment and where u are picking..I know in virginia its been a good year for fungi...I gotta go get high..peace...

Roots?..........

No, they are galerina rustica, a close cousin that creates galerenic acid, it tends to destroy your liver, I estimate you will have to have a .... oh, never mind, I can't do that to you, they are what folks said they were. Sorry you had a bad experience but I still worry about people identifying mushrooms over the internet. OK?
