Help confirm these are Psilocybe cyanescens
    #14375954 - 04/30/11 03:04 AM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Hi,

I recently went trekking in the North Cascades in Washington and as a person who loves shrooms and other psychedelics, I am always looking for shrooms in areas where they are likely to grow, I found some isolated clusters of these shrooms (see attached picture). Most looked pretty young and based on the info I read so far they seem to be psilocybe cyanescens. The color brown with dark brown on the top of caps. The stems were thin but I assumed they are young and yet to look like full grown mushrooms.
I found most of them on barks and the area of the park was wet with recent rains and also a lot of waterfalls. I also found some mushrooms that were yellow and jelly like but I dint take a picture of those.

Also if these are the ones I think how long do they take to be harvested. And how long to dry ? I have never eaten shrooms that I have picked up and don't want to be concerned when I am tripping (which will ruin the trip of course).

Here are the pic links:

You need to work on your mushroom identification skills. They do not even remotely look like Psilocybe cyanescens. Not at all.

No they don't look like ANY Psilocybe, really.

They look a little like Psilocybe pelliculosa.

They're not though.

Learn you mushroom... Temperature, moisture, habitat, season.... Weird things happen, but... Not likely.

Wrong season for cyan and pells...  Looking down on them, a little like pells.. But they are not...

If you took a spore print, would ID them better....

ya i agree , all it would take is to turn the cap over and see it has white gills, Psilocybes dont sport nice white gills like Mycenas.

Not even close. What you are doing is common among nubs: you see a random mushroom, and not knowing anything about magic mushrooms, somehow jump to a conclusion that the random mushroom is or might be psychedelic. Wishful thinking is common on this board amongst newbies. See this article on the fallacy of wishful thinking: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wishful_thinking. This is describing you.

Facts:
1) Those do not even look remotely like Psilocybe cyanescens or azurescens. There are thousands of different types of mushrooms that fit the approximate profile of "small and brownish," and some of these will be very unpleasant to eat.
2) It is not the correct season in PNW for most Psilocybe mushrooms. That would be the fall.
3) It is highly unlikely that you will find cyanescens in any wild and undisturbed area. They seem to grow almost exclusively areas with at least some development.

Any research into the habits and lifecycle of Psilocybe cyanescens would have provided the above facts and cleared up your misunderstandings. What you have found is a very common and mundane mushroom.

You are also looking in the wrong area and season for Psilocybe cyanescens. I don't imagine they grow wild in the north cascades. Where abouts were you hiking? Just curious because I spend tons of time up there in the summer and fall prospecting. Great area for edibles and Amanita sp:super:

This is the only thing a man such as myself can ask for. What comes as the result is nothing short of the core of human existence, to truly live free in body and mind.

they did have a dirty white spore prints, so they probably are mycenas as many of you have stated. I knew I couldn't get it right the first time thats why I figured I should be asking people here first. I am not going to be eating any shroom I pick up yet.

I went for a hike at Lake 22, it was a great hike and I wasn't looking for mushrooms too much, just found some in the start of the hike. I wish it was shroom season already as I won't be here for that. But at least I will be in India where it is apparently a lot cheaper and easier to get them.

No, they don't.

Also, you need to focus on the mushrooms when you take the pictures from now on, and look at them in review to make sure you actually have good pics. Blurry doesn't help anyone. But even blurry, no, they're not active.

Are you just taking random guesses as to what they are/look like?  Shit, if you want them to be, maybe they are chunks of gold too!
