Texas Mushrooms Confirm Species

Well I went out to Fayette County Texas yesterday and picked some mushrooms from the cattle fields on my land. Here's what I found after 5 minutes. I was hunting so I didn't get that many...but they were EVERYWHERE! Thanks guys!



 Sketch ones^


* Habitat-pasture, Fayette County Texas in cow dung. * Characteristics of the gills- Im color blind Black I presume? * Characteristics of the stem- Hollow but thick. * Characteristics of the cap- They were all mostly flat or rounded tops. * Spore print color- Black with a slight purple tint? * Color that the mushroom bruises- Not sure * Scent of the mushroom- They smell exactly like all the lab grown ones I've eaten. Thank you so much for your knowledge, I realize that this is my first post. Sorry if I broke any rules or policies. I'm just looking for a positive Identification so I don't end up in the hospital.

The ones with the blue stems in the third pic are Psilocybe cubensis.

yeah you can eat the cubes. bluing stems, gold caps and a black veil remanent on the stem.
dont eat any of the other ones they arent right, unless they turn blue they can be Panaeolus cyanescens, google that species.

That's a bummer I was hoping the second pic was also going to be Psilocybe. Oh well gotta start somewhere. Atleast I'll have a good time from these!

I can't tell what the others are due to them being dry. They don't look active though. If you found two in only five minutes, I'd go back and look for an hour or two. Take your camera and take some habitat shots of them. Nice finds.

Yea I'll head back out there when we get a good rain and pick a few pounds because the fields were swarming with boomers. I just walked by them when I was hunting Javelinas, so I decided to treat myself to a little Thanksgiving feast. Now time to trip! Thanks a bunch everyone.

The dry ones in the second pic look like Psilocybe Cubensis. Not sure about the other dry ones.

those definitely arent dried cubes. Could be toxic though.

I don't think they are either anymore, they went through a very rough trip back to Austin and I'm almost positive they would have bruised or atleast showed a small sign of blue stems.

The Cube is the only mushroom in these pictures, that can be identified for sure, because it's rather fresh.
Concerning the "blue meanies", I strongly doubt, they are. They look pretty fucked up and still don't show any signs of bluing. In my opinion, it's much more likely, that they're an inactive Panaeolus sp..
Unless you don't want to poison yourself, I'd suggest to only consume the Cube!

The ones in the second photo are probably Stropharia semiglobata if they were found on dung. If they were growing out of the ground, then they are probably Agrocybe.
The Panaeolus are probably P. papilionaceus.
