The ones with a bit of black is ok, its just rotting. Not to worry unless its moving 
Prints should be purple-brown
Make sure they all blue and your good to go

DosileFlynn said: they are subs and most of the black stuff on most of them is actually sproes. except for the black dots on the tops of them, thats just a bit of the shrooms going off.
But it is worrying if they were found next to an area that had been sprayed with weed killer; because more likely then not your shrooms have been sprayed with the same material.
[quNa the weed killers was green and very evident, so i made sure i stayed away from em.
Thanks heaps guys!!!! iv been waiting ages to hear that!!! ill post the spore print tomorrows just to be on the safe side. Cheers

sorry to be a pain in the ass guys, but... how obvious should the blue bruising be. I went on a hunt in a few places and spent half the day looking. saw ALOT of different mushrooms today, alot of which look very similar to what i have seen in posts. is there any tell tale signs im missing? quite difficult without experience. unfortunatly no one i know is an experienced hunter :S

Scrap the stem with a knife and you wont miss the bluing. Should occur in 1-10min's.
Have a look at the edge of the cap. and at the very base where the white fluffy mucelium is.
It will be very easy to spot a few hours later.
Or you can take some spore prints

If they have a definate blue they are good. If your unsure, take a print. But blueing is pretty much a 100% sign that its a psilocybe sub, or any other psilocybe sp.
The bluing you see when you dammage a sub, is the active chemicals (psilocybin/psilocin) mixing with oxygen.
There are some mushrooms, that bruise blue but arnt magic. Bolete is one of them.
But they look nothing like subs.
Enjoy those shrooms man! and nice find  hope i helped

Hey guys, just wondering what you recommend doing while tripping alone?
I've always done it with mates in the past, thinking about going solo this weekend. Suggestions of what to do to make the most of my trip?
Also, what to do if it turns bad? I'm going to take a low dose to have the chance of this happening low too, but if I do start having a bad trip what are some things I can do to improve it? The same as when you're with a group? New music / setting?
Thanks

my #1 most favourite thing to do while tripping alone is to find a nice comfortable space in a dark room to lay down and listen to tunes, and see what the back of my eye lids have to offer. other then that i really enjoy watching like nature oriented shows and things like the national georgraphic channel and things, or funny movies/shows, or concerts.
But i mean the sky is the limit dude, you can draw or play music if they are your hobbies, play games, wander around your backyard or out and around the streets (carefully). set up some trip toys like some strobe lights or those electrode lightning ball things. do whatever you want to do.
if it turns bad i find the best thing to do is as soon as you feel things starting to turn bad, i instantly try to change the setting or set, turn the lights on, change the music your listening to, have a shower, go outside and get fresh air, smoke a ciggie, have a beer, whatever it is. just try to realise that it's all not real and it's all apart of you essentially, and that nothing can hurt you.
And if all else fails just eat some xanax

You go to youtube, you type in: Shpongle or Ott, You search for a playlist, then you trip (:
thank me later.

My only tip would be surround yourself with things you really enjoy doing, and make a space for yourself that is comfortable. Outside that trust yourself and what you are doing.
For me personally I generally set up a bit of a theme music wise, have a pretty dark room with some comfy shit and a bunch of instruments in easy reach. I also often spend a large time meditating especially on lower doses.
It's your trip though so plan it around you, it's amazing what a difference that can make. As for a bad trip I normally find I take a lot out of the ones that go a bit pear shaped.

Also some of the shrooms are black on there caps are they still ok to eat??? Spore print is currently underway.
would appreciate your help fellers, thanks heaps.
If you look closer (especially along the edge of that dark patch) you'll see thats not black, its the Dark Purplish Brown of a psylocibe! A mushroom growing underneath one another is a good way of seeing a spore color out in the field without having to do a spore print.
Another good way to see a spore colour on a p. sub is to look for tiny purplish hairs on the stem just under the cap (the remenants of when the cap opened tends to catch spores) or look for a specimen that was growing sideways. A kink in the stem can catch enough spores to see purplish brown there too.

I've been tripping out to Broadcast and the Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age
I'm sure it was made for mushrooms.. Shame she died from swine flu when she came to Melbourne a couple months ago...
RIP Trish Keenan - I'm sure your intergalactic folk music is even more appreaciated in your new found dimension. xx.

Tbomb, those black dots on top of the shrooms I'm fairly certain are frost bite. I found a patch today, top of the mushrooms had those black dots and I thought they were old and was ready to leave them. However underneath the gills were as fresh as they come.
All good champ!
Jayce, either ur spot got raped by someone else or its dying. No matter. Half the fun is finding new spots. Best bet I think is what to do with one of my spots which is defiantly underperforming this year and just leave it. Hopefully the year free of picking does it some good

Tripping alone... I don't know Ey. I've got bags of shrooms but i just don't feel comfortable till I've got a group of friends who are all keen around me. Good luck though
