Hey guys, im new to this site and was hoping someone could identify these shrooms for me. I was originally told they are "P.cubensis" but looking for a more realiable source. They are most defiently active, bruise blue and were found in a pine forest. Any information will be much appreciated, thanks

I don't know what species they are, but they certainly look active to me. I'm sure someone will chime in with very good news for you shortly.

For all intents and purposes they are Psilocybe subaeruginosa.
Whoever told they were Psilocybe cubensis were way off the mark, and given how much more potent they are than cubes, you may have ended up having some far out experiences.
Given that, they are beautiful examples. i love your spore print.
Keep up the good work in future seasons

Thank you! This was my first successful season after going through hundreds of photos that i have taken over the last 2 months (all in the same area) and comparing them with photos of Psilocybe subaeruginosa im suprised half of them resemble subaeruginosa and some Psilocybe azurescens. Its got me stumped! Could it possibly be both growing in the same location?
When first trying these mushrooms (before my thirst for knowledge) i went off the recommend dosage for cubensis... a "far out" experience is exactly what i got. I have been experimenting with the dosage of these mushrooms and a gram dried weight is more than sufficient. But what has really intrigued me is the colour the tea goes, sometimes its a light brown colour and then other times i get an electric blue colour. i only use purified water and add honey
 Seen this before?

I have usually had tea made from P. azurescens and P. cyanescens turn the water blue and then brown shortly after. I've never seen P. cubensis turn the water blue though. Usually just the light brown color, but one time a very dark purple, it looked like coffee in a cup. At the time I had no idea why the tea was dark purple, I was a lot younger, now I'm pretty sure it was because of there being spores coating the caps, the stems and gills. The caps were purple and fully opened and the stems had purple and blue instead of just blue not common for the commercially available indoor grown cubes and in my ignorance I thought I'd gotten a different species.

P. subaeruginosa often look nearly identical to P. azuresecens.

Psilocybe subaeruginosa is very closely related to Psilocybe azurescens. The former is native to the southern parts of Australia whereas the latter is found in the Pacific North-West of North America.
