Buying 'White cap' shrooms?

Hello everybody! This is my first post so sorry if I posted in the wrong place! I'm going to be getting some shrooms off a friend of a friend that said he ran out of gold caps and he only has 'white caps' he says they're extra potent. I looked up 'white caps' and nothing came up, is what he said reliable information or does it seem sketchy?

He may be talking about Panaeolus cyanescens, but ultimately you wont know for sure until you see them.

IF they are Panaeolus cyanescens there will be blue bruising that is quite apparent.

I plan on pinching them to see if they turn blue or not but i'm just wanting to know if actual 'white cap' mushrooms even exist? I'm not very familiar with mushrooms all I know about is gold caps. Thanks for the help so far!

panaeolus cyanescens will have white caps sometimes they have a little gold on the cap. You can attempt to bruise them if they are wet. Panaeolus cyanescens are more potent than your "gold cap" (Psilocybe cubensis) mushroom.

They could be albino cubensis, depends on how much you trust the guy I guess. Good luck to you.

Sounds super sketchy. Do not give him any money at all without first posting a pic here and waiting an hour for responses.
The important part is in bold, do not ignore that advice or you will be sorry.

Lots of species of mushrooms have white caps. Most do not contain psilocybin. Its not like you are buying Psilocybe aztecorum here. Almost all of the mushrooms with white caps that are sold on the black market are purchased from the supermarket.
And your dealer is not going to want to have a conversation with you about how they did not work.....

He could be talking about albino penis envy, which are indeed extra potent. And they do have white caps. (With a blueish tinge.) Here are some that I grew:

However, he should be able to identify them better -- what type of mushroom are they, for example? Because people are often sold supermarket mushrooms and ripped off. Or worse, just some mushrooms someone picked (the results of which could be very bad indeed).
Do you know anyone else who has ever bought mushrooms off this guy?

Nah its probably oysters or button mushrooms.

Yes, if he was an expert in mushroom identification he would probably be tempted to hit his dealer.

Good question. And do you know anyone else who has bought white caps off this guy? Do you understand that when you switch from regular cubensis to white caps, your probability of getting ripped off goes from 0% up to 99 percent?

Just got the shrooms and they seem to be legit. Just got 3/8ths all caps and a few are turning blue. They seem to have a white nipple on the top and a brown stem towards the bottom. They also smell like poop

Smelling like poop is not a good sign. Not sure why they should have a white nipple and brown stem. That does not sound like any psycheedelic mushroom that I know. Can you post pics of what you got?

I may be mixing up the nipple with the stem it's kind of hard to tell since they're dried. I'll take some pics right now for you guys.

Here's a picture. The one I'm holding in my fingers is the one with the 'nipple' they kind of have a whitish gold hue that the camera doesn't really capture. The two on the bottom I believe are blue around the spores [url=http://[url=http://files.shroomery.org/files/13-35/799891775-IMG_1997.jpg]
