they are totally active spieces jack ass and very potent. you only have proven your ignorence here.

If I were you, I would not be [even thinking of] ingesting mushrooms that look anything like this on such little information unless I was an expert on the species.

Just for the record, staining is a direct result of damage (oxidation),  not to be confused  with coloration which is a natural phenomenon.

Yeah, I know

basically im going with inocybe but its to be reminded experts used to consider the inocybes to be in the family of Cortinariaceae so its clearly a wavey subject. as i said earlier if we cant decide on a name for it im totally naming it

---

Cool! be sure to name it something good

and yeah I would say if defiantly looks active, but what do I know?

thanks for sharing.. looking forward to seeing what it really is!

In recognition of his numerous contributions to the fields of ethnomycology, ethnobotany and ethnopharmacology, Dr. Weil was given the distinction of having an entheogenic Psilocybe mushroom named in his honor: Psilocybe weilii was discovered in 1995 in Cherokee County, Georgia. A lignicolous species belonging to the Section Cordisporae, this blue-staining mushroom prefers a red-clay soil habitat beneath loblolly pines (Pinus taeda) where it fruits in groups or dense clusters (September through November). Chemical analysis of this mushroom revealed .05% baeocystin; .61% psilocybin; .27% psilocin; and .32% L-tryptophan (as unconverted psilocybin). Psilocybe weilii was authored by Dr. Gaston Guzman, Fidel Tapia, and mycologist Paul Stamets.

On the consumption note: I wonder what the odor- and tasteless chemical psilocybin tastes and smells like, since thedudenj claims he tasted and smelled it before he decided to ingest the mushroom.

That's a good point.  Apparently there is something in the production of the chemical in a mushroom that gives a familiar scent.  Overall, the smell is described as "farinaceous," but that description is as vague as "fruity" or "musty."  I have smelled quite a few species that were active and stained blue.  I describe the smell as "like cubes."  If these smelled like cubes--and I have no doubt they did--it could lead someone to experiment like thedudenj did.  Some of us, and the Shroomery in general, pride ourselves on mushroom safety.  After all, no one wants to be responsible for the poisoning of someone else.  Experimenting on your own is a matter of personal safety versus risk.

How does any of us know whether an unknown active mushroom or potentially new active species contains dangerous chemicals as well as active ones?  We don't.  And yet there has been more than one occasion where someone has bioassayed them.  And it goes without saying that some will ingest a mushroom purely for the science of it.  After all, that is how most of the toxicity of mushrooms are known.  Some die, some get high and some have a delicious meal.

My primary concern is that someone take a print and save some samples for examination.  The identity of the mushroom is important.  For me, more important than the effect it gives.

when it comes down to it the natives didnt look at the mushrooms with microscopes and such you think their effects and spiritual stuff was all placebo cause we didnt check their stuff with chemical extractions and microscopes and going back i have had inactive spieces of gyms i can tell the difference btw that one time and all the active ones its silly to say that i cant really feel the difference. if that were the case i would eat more of that inactive one cause if the effect is achived its achived amount of drugs isnt important.

Why would you come into a thread that is clearly having a good discussion on a particular find and have nothing intelligent to add except bitch about how someone is relaying their message?
