I've picked a few up in seaside before
No it is somthing like a large entoloma or psathyrella species. It stood over a foot tall and was very impressive. I havnt been able to identify it to species after lots of effort but entoloma is a large genus with like 1000 species in it.
-------------------- Favorite quote: I want to know if they are active and magic or not. And if they are not active, can i pick them before they are active and then they will become active or do they have to grow till they activate?

as far as your "woodlovers project" goes (from your sig)

apparently It just happens in some people and nobody is sure why

Down here in alabama we have these things called banana spiders. They get really huge, like several inches long or the size of a human hand. What's weird about them is that even tho they're really scary looking, they're actually really docile, so if you don't have any phobias you can just pick them up and let them slowly walk around your hand and they won't attack.
Black widows are tiny like 1/4-1/3" tops but I see them every once in awhile.
Spiders are just part of living out here in the woods

In here we don't have big spiders, but in Japan I saw lots of huntsman spiders, which get kinda big but are harmless&useful(they live in houses and eat pests)
Also, they keep cats busy

I'd probably run like hell 
Fucking spiders, they're cool to view from photos and all, but IRL they're fucking creepy!

Hell yeah man spiders are hella creepy. Damn nature, you scary!
Check out this video I found. It shows spiders under the influence of various drugs and how it affects their web building. So crazy.
(Not sure if that link will work from my phone, if not just search youtube for "spiders on drugs" and it'll be the first video. Trust me you won't regret watching it!

I will tell you what exactly! In the age of dinosaurs the ancestor of mankind was a mouselike creature about two inches long. Among its predators were spiders huge and small. From that era we got two particular traits: the ability to get goosebumps and an instinctual frea of spiders.
Biggest spider I saw was in a hospital no less, on the floot near a crevice in the wall. Its leg span was the size of the palm of a hand (4 inches) and the body was the size of a really fat bumblebee.
These fuckers:

Its a relative of the Hobo Spider with a painful bite that leaves a welt, which mostly lives in houses.

Snakes too, maybe later on though.

Interesting thoughts on the origins of arachnophobia. Very interesting indeed.
