fortunately i live in the same area that i always have, so i have got a couple of old patchs that i used to go to as a youth to check out. i live in a pretty rural area and there are green fields as far as i can see, so there are lots of new patchs just waiting to be discovered. Octobers weekends are now accounted for. INHALE, SURVIVE, ADAPT it's all in your mind, but what's your mind??? fool of the year

I live in the scandinavia, but tomorrow I'll be heading out for a mission too. I already tried a few weeks ago but I think it was too early and warm. But now the weathers are colder and it's been raining alot.. Perfect occasion to go play hide-and-seek with liberty caps and amanitas! I wish lots of good luck to everyone else too..

I'm in the US but tis the season here as well, hope you don't mind me butting in, but this is my first year that I will get a chance to find some. I found my first psilocybes the other day. 3 dried grams of P. Stuntzii Hoping to find some libs or cyanescens as well. Good luck friends!

jamie wrote:^no, nor is it a cube. There's so many psyilocybin shroom varieties the mind boggles. Do some google research my friend. They may well even be liberty caps. Sometimes shrooms can be deceptive when identifying, crafty critters!! Put it like this, if there's plenty of these then collect them and THEN get them checked. If it's a few, leave them, ignore them, they are probably bunk. When shrooms are abound, there's usually plenty of them.... plenty....  - So far possible lib caps, azurens.....

Hmmm..def not a Lib...I know my way around them... Just very curious as I've never seen a Blue shroom in these parts before (UK). Looked just like a small Golden Teacher that I know and love from OZ..except for the gills...

Plenty blue (photos don't do it justice)
Could I get an ID plz..? Could be a possible Psilocybe caerulipes, aka, blue foot. some of the google images results look similar, some completely different. proceed with caution

Azures are woodlovers for one..and they look nothing like that. They have carmel caps for one which is a dead giveaway that that that mushroom there is not an azure.. Long live the unwoke.

MMM, true.. probably best to dump them, a la harm reduction', boys!! "Eat your vegetables and do as you're told, or you won't be going to the funfair!"

no..it looks like a psilocybe for sure..but it should be properly ID'd and a print should be taken. Long live the unwoke.

You should make a post @ the shroomery. There are a lot of talented identifiers over there. You could also check paul stamets "psilocybin mushrooms of the world", here's an online copy: http://library.kisps.net...20-%20Paul%20Stamets.pdfMaybe they are psilocybe caerulea...
