ID Request(w. pictures): Wild Magic in Canada???

 The bottom ones are the younger one because on some the veil/stripe hasn't yet fallen was in the process of detaching. All were picked dry.
Habitat: Found in prairies of Manitoba, Canada in a cow pasture. Grows only on cow dung in sunny areas. Tended not to grow in forest/tree-filled areas. Found either in clusters of two or three or singly, sometimes only one per cow pattie and sometimes many on one patties.
Gills: Gills are Light brown/gray when young. Dark brown when mature. Attached, mostly adnate.
Stem: Much larger than cap diameter. Very thin and long. 1-6 cm length, 1-4 mm diameter, golden brown, hollow. Young ones have a white veil/stripe closer to the top and as the veil drops on the matured ones it's a brownish-purplish-black.
Cap: Diameter is 8 mm-3cm(dried). Orangeish-gold, dried orangeish-gold/brownish/black; mostly darker towards the middle. Again they were found dried, so the texture was hard and wrinkly/bumpy and some were smooth but still very wrinkly. Convex, but some are umbonate/convex and conical possibly due to drying(not quite sure though).
Spore print color: I put one of the dry caps on a wet paper towel and it quickly left a purplish-dark brown mark.
Other information: Smell kind of sweet/salty like seaweed and wood when left in a sealed container when dried. A bit strong smelling Was picked pretty much completely dried as there was no rain for at least four days in the area, making it difficult to obtain a spore print. I am trying to make one right now and will give an update as soon I find out. No visible Bruising but that could also be because the were picked when they were dried. Hope the pictures help. 


Happy Hunting c:

Not going to find cubes in Canada.... At least in the wild!!! Black spores not what you are looking for...
Maybe Stropharia sp..... Or Agaricus...
Keep looking... Very good is request though Photos... Gills, stem, cap...

But I thought mushrooms can grow almost anywhere in the world given the right conditions? And I tried making a spore print last night and it left a dark purplish-brown color. Would that make any difference?

Does it turn blue if you cut a piece of it? Dark purple is usally a good indicator of psilocybe mushrooms
Cubensis CAN grow in the wild in canada Proof : http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/8645079
They are just very rare and the winter probably kills the mycelium
Found Psilocybe Caerulipes and maybe some Cubes (Early stage, hard to be 100% sure) in Quebec, Canada.

But this is not wild; I may have allegedly put a cake in the garden at the beginning of the summer
No they cannot.

To answer the OP
No, not all mushrooms grow everywhere. See Jousts fantastic resource: http://www.shroomery.org/12246/Psilocybin-Mushroom-Locations
I am going to say no to wild cubes in Canada... Or North of say North Carolina even
The link provided as 'proof' was someone who had moved their grow to their garden... Not the same as wild cubes the OP was hoping for
Yes, purplish tinted spore prints are more promising but not 100%... Still might be a stropharia sp.
If the mushrooms had any blue bruising would be good to know If you could take less blurry pictures closer to a mushroom would be helpful
Peace

They are all dried and I think that's the reason why I can't see any bruising. If I wet one of the stems and then break it would that work, or not? I see some greenish parts on some where they're bent and some parts it looks orangeish but I really can't tell because like I said they were picked when they were already dry.

If you click the picture it should enlarge for you. The pics are actually really clear and big. Let me know it you can't enlarge it and I'll try to re-post them.
My biggest question at this point is if they aren't cubensis could they possibly be another mushroom with psychoactive properties? Because if they are just plain poison I would like to know. I thought I knew what they were for a minute there but with all these different suggestions I just don't know any more. My spore print is almost ready and then I will post the pic. I just really wanna find out what these are so I can chuck them or eat them already.
