night time shroom hunting - my story, live

hi all. im going out tonight ( couple hours ) to shroom hunt, now obviously im not going to be picking these mushrooms as they are illegal. Merely going to see if i can identify some for my own scientific research .
the mushroom around my area that ill be looking for is psilocybe cubensus. or "gold top". ill be going to a secluded cow pattick where i have been before.
my item list:
- 1 sharp pocket knife with scizzor attachment ( defense ) - 1 red torch (to identify closely and keep any attention away from me) - 1 recyclable breathable bag (just incase clothes get wet)
my torch is just a normal led torch but ive added a cardboard cylinder around it and a some red plastic taped to the carboard to make the light red.



when i come back ( later tonight ) ill update if i was successful.
but until then i can answer any questions or take in some advice from the much more experienced. peace out

They turn so blue that it will almost appear black shortly after picking them. If I were you I'd educate myself a bit more about what you are looking for. Mushroom hunting doesn't work like "I wanna get high. I'll just go out and find me some active mushrooms". There are tens of thousands of different species and only a handful are "magic".
