So, being new here and all, what exactly are the penalties of shrooms? Say yer out in a field picking liberty caps and the cop pops? I did a little research online, but I'de like information from people here, along with opinions and tips of this whole matter.
Thanks!

That is an ignorant thing to say, you forget field owners, farmers or patrolmen. There are fields on the side of roads and people do get busted, many fields where they are known to grow get some sort of monitoring, I've seen cops pass by once a night and spot light some fields.

Well, some random cop WILL show up in some random forest 'round where I'm at.
I'm just wondering what the scenario would be... I'm sure there'd be many. Though I'm not dealing/selling them, which should reduce my chances of ever getting in trouble with it.

Trespassing, first of all. Secondly, if you have multiple bags of fresh-picked shrooms, they might try to prosecute you for having a "distribution" amount. It varies.
What you don't want is for a cop to see your car chilling by an abandoned field, wait for you to come back, then popping out when you're about to leave and arrest you. Be really fucking careful.

Don't even need multiple bags. The definition of psilocybin includes the entire weight of the shrooms in all areas I'm aware of. They base the calculated sentences and offense ranges off the weight of psilocybin for dry shrooms, if you have wet or water logged shrooms the weight will be much greater and you can easily appear to have many more doses then you do- easily get above the mandatory minimum or next offense level minimum.

Well, my idea isn't hoarding a bunch of shrooms. Maybe one or two. I'm after a quest to experience this to expand my consciousness. I've been on such a shamanic quest for a long time, and after recently researching psilocybin mushrooms, I believe this can answer many of my questions. I just don't want to get into trouble. It's fucking ridiculous.
But answer me this: If one were to be caught; which would be worse? Caught from growing a cake, or picking a couple shrooms on non-private land?

Throw them away if a cop comes after ya if its a deep grass field so he can't find anything. Kinda be hard to find anything scattered like that I guess.

I allready told you you are cool in zaire. Have fun, just don't leave the country. Course their website is crap so I might have missed some laws.
---
And your picking one or two shrooms? Ok, whatever man.
Anyways, in ohio you'd be sentenced to a term of incarceration of 1,2,3,4 or 5 years with a presumption of a term of imprisonment if you had more than 30 grams (the bulk amount), which I assume you would.
This means that that you could have one dose and you'd get the same degree of offense and the same possible prison sentence range as someone who had 25 grams to a hundred grams of pure cocaine. (though if it was cocaine you'd get a mandatory minimum one year)
Put another way: you'd face the same offense level and prison term as some adult who molested a child that was more than ten years younger, or you'd face the same offense level and prison term as someone who commited sexual battery.
Get the picture?
"Yeah... I think I'm just being over paranoid about it all."
If getting these sentences, the same as someone who commits sexual battery, sounds like not a big deal then I guess you are paranoid.
Don't assume the law makes sense. And stop asking what the law is without telling people what law you want to know about.

Cultivation, even on a small scale, is always exponentially worse than possession.

I just wanted to know what the penalty would be if I picked one shroom on non-private land.
I mean... What if some old lady or something was just on a hike and picked a shroom just to observe it. Would a cop honestly freak on her?
Like I said... I'm not out to bring a bag to harvest a load of shrooms, 'nor be on private land. So if a cop saw one shroom in my hand, and I was just out on a hike and whatever, would a cop honestly care?
(If a cop would actually be there that is.)

Grab some legal mushrooms and have them with the illegal (don't mix those fuckers up though) and just tell a cop you were just collecting mushrooms to see if you can eat any of them for a recipe or something. Many times, he will give ya the benefit of the doubt plus in court if it ever happened, you had a bunch of mushrooms and you had "no" idea what they were then it's not going to look bad.

If you find psilocybin mushrooms growing on public lands, go for it. Assuming you exercise a decent amount of discretion, no one should be the wiser.

Thanks for the tips guys.
I also thought of a good idea. If I find a psilocybin, I could pick only the head and chop it up finely, and kinda mush it into my hands. That way if a cop even spotted me, like entering my car or whatever, I would act like I just noticed that I got mud on my hands. 
A real chopped up shroom like that wouldn't lose its potency, would it?

I don't know what you want. I allready told you in ohio you could get five years for possesion alone if you had about one dose (30g) picked. (two year mandatory minimum for cultivation)
Their are thousands of jurisdictions in the world. I have no idea what law you are asking about.
