Dried Mushroom Identification

These are from someone in northern Georgia if that helps.
Sorry for the picture quality but all I have is my not so great phone camera.
Thanks in advance for any help.

The lighter and game are for size reference.
Edit: Trying to provide more details.
I think what i'm looking at are the gills and they are totally white and fused together.

Did you pick those yourself or get them from someone? If you picked them it would help to know what type of environment you found them in. They definitely do not look like cubensis.

Guessing he means portobellos...the larger version of Agaricus Bisporus

Are you sure? The gills are underneath the cap. The only underside of a cap I see is the one in the bottom left and it doesn't appear white. But yeah, not cubenesis. Doesn't look like anything edible you'd buy in a store. Might be random mushrooms collected in the wild. Though "totally white and fused together" gills sounds like there is a dried bolete in that collection. The one with the fat stipe, for example. Stipe looks "boletish". In any case, if someone sold those to you you got ripped off. Ask them what they are supposed to be.

i agree that they are not cubensis. however, is that blue bruising or is it my imagination? boletus bicolor would explain the bruising (if it is in fact blue bruising).

thanks for the replies.
i bought them from someone that i trust and i will try to give them a call and ask if they know what they are.
i'm charging an old camera to see if i can get you guys some better pictures.
if it's any help, they are super pungent and smell like all the other shrooms i've ever partaken of.
new, hopefully better pics coming soon.

until i know what they are i won't take them but why the assumption that they are bunk until the are identified?

While there are many types of psilocybe-active mushrooms, none of them to my knowledge look like that. Dried or otherwise.

i really appreciate your guys' input on this. i've been looking forward to doing this as it's been almost a year since last i got to.
they certainly smell like all the other shrooms i've ever tried.

i suspect either 1 of 3 things.
1. they are boletus that bruised blue and your "friend" thought they were active (because they bruised blue) and sold them to you. however, some blue bruising boletus are poisonous and should definitely not be consumed.
2. this is a long shot (a very long shot). they are dry amanita muscaria (fly argaic) and the picture quality is terrible. however, from the looks of them i highly doubt this to be true.
3. you just got ripped off (most likely the case).
take more pictures if you would like. however, i am sticking with my original idea and that is, feed them to the trash can.

DON'T EAT THEM...
But orange-ish/tan mushrooms with purple/red bruising and what appear to be rusty gills in the picture...

...they look like a bit like some of my dried G. junonius or luteus from my collections. But DON'T EAT THEM, there's a good chance I'm wrong.

this is more disappointing than anything. i've got a couple locals that have more experience coming over to help and i'm still planning on calling the seller and see if he can give me any info that seems legitimate.
this camera battery is taking forever to charge. :/
thanks again for the help guys.

cool. thanks. the guy i got them from usually sells other stuff so he gets these from another guy who is supposed to be calling him back with details on the type. one thing that makes me more confident that he's not screwing me over is that he's been in constant contact with me about all of this and not just ignoring my calls even though he could.
this is the perfect weekend for me to try this so i'm going to start off slow with just a few to make sure they work and also don't make me sick.
i'll post up here with how it's going/how it went.
i really appreciate all the help and will be spending more time here lurking and reading than in the past to get more knowledgeable.
also, your smiley collection is fucking great.

gill attachment to the stem is one of the criterion for mushroom identification.
you can check it here: http://www.toxinology.com/generic_static_files/images_generic/MD-lamellae_attachment1.gif
on the pictures you took, the mushroom seems to have a free attachment of the gill, in this case the gills won't touch the stem. If it were G. junonius you should see an adnate or sub-decurrent attachment, although they are dry and the image isn't clear enough.
I don't know what's up with that white covering but I'll try to see what it is. For know I wouldn't take it if I were you.

They are gyms. I half suspected it from the beginning but I kept my mouth shut since I've never seen dried gyms and the only dried Mushrooms that I can reliably ID are cubes, Amanita muscaria and libs.

i can surely say the dry picd fungi are gyms of some sort nothing looking incredibly potent - takes LOTS of dry gyms Sucks when people sell shit like that and don't tell or explain shit gives the fungus a bad rap when they are the sweetest shit they shud b free - for everyone
