Hi,
Get yourself a digital camera and take pictures of what mushrooms you find in your field.
And yes, Panaeolus subbalteatus is the shroom you might find.
Keep shroomin,
GG

PAnaolina foenisecii, not psychoactive.

That is incorrect.
Gary Menser wrote the paperback book, "Hallcinogenic Mushrooms," (Menser, Gary. 1977. Hallucinogenic and Poisonous Mushroom Field Guide. And/Or Press. Berkeley, California. 140pp.).
Recently republished in 1984 and re-titled as "Magikal Mushroom Handbook" from Homestead Book Company of Seattle, Washington. An even later edition returned with the original title.
Menser wrote that the analysis of Panaeolina foenisecii from the west coast was shown to be inactive while specimens analysed from the east coast showed the presence of psilocine/psilocine etc.
He had no scientific data to prove that the east coast variety was active, and he based his absoluteness on on one paper by Ola'h who claimed to have analysed specimens from Ontario and Indiana. not really the east coast. Ola's analysis was a false positive.
Other books than carried the same mistake into their publications. Rihard and Karen Haard's book Poisonous and Hallucinogenic Mushrooms (Haard, Richard. and Karen Haard. 1975. Poisonous and Hallucinogenic Mushrooms. Cloudburst Press. Brackendale, Washington.) and other bo0ks created an Urban Legend. The species is not active.
There have been journal publication reports of more than a hundred analyzations of that species by numerous biochemists and organic chemists who all found the species they analysed as void. Those records are from countries all around the world.
Anyway. Some people never learn about them and do not know.
Where he derived his information from will never be known because he passed away awhile back a few years or so, maybe a lot more than a few but not alot.
A friend of mine form Mass. said he ate some on a lawn in Boston and got off on them.
However it is hard to know what kind he ate. But I know t that they are not Panaeolina foenisecii.
I aalso know many who actually tried them, as I once did to find out. Not really a safe thing to try when one does not really know exactly what it is he is trying. Some people have died trying.
As Don Juan once said the road to the mushroom is a long one. And some die on the way to finding it.
Have a shroomy day
