Habitat: California/Arizona Where does it grow? Eg. woods, pasture, state, province, country, altitude, etc. What does it grow on? Eg. soil, dung, wood (dead, living, what kind of wood?), etc.
Gills: black Color, attached/not, gills/pores, etc.
Stem: white, lengthy, looks like rope Length, diameter, color, texture, hollow/solid, thin/thick, etc.
Cap: 1 inch or 2 max..has a nipple in the center of the cap on the top, which is brown. Diameter, color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc.
Spore print color: not sure what that is Very important!
Bruising: can't see much Color that the mushroom bruises, if any.
Other information: they smell like shit. Stems are long, white/light tab. A few are dark brown. Black gills. Scent of the mushroom, anything else you think is important, large close-up pictures showing stem, cap and gills.

Hmmmmmm.
welcome to the shroomery and thanks for using the ID request form for you first post!
The spore print is a deposit of the spores of a mushroom. You will need to cut the cap from the stem and place the cap gill side down on the foil. Leave it there for a few hours and lift the cap to see the spores that have been dropped.
Some pictures would really help. Oh and, habitat refers to what substrate and area a mushroom is growing on ie, dung, wood, ground litter, etc.

Besides the fact that those look exactly like a dried cubesis should?
Just use those ones you have right there as a reference in the future my friend.

Nope, because that species doesn't exist.

I'm guessing that's some sort of typo for P. semilanceata, which looks very different (thinner stem, more bell-shaped cap, smaller) and is hunted in the wild in cold to temperate climates as it does not thrive in cultivation. P. cubensis is by a huge margin the most cultivated psychedelic mushroom, and in picture 2 you can see bits of vermiculite clinging to the base of the stem, confirming that these mushrooms were cultivated and not picked in the wild.

Or a typo for Psilocybe semilanceata perhaps. Regardless, OP has been given Psilocybe cubensis. Standard giveaways for dried Psilocybe cubensis are blue-grey staining on the stem and/or on the cap, dark purple/dark brownish gills (NOT cinnamon or rusty or orange-brown), and that really wrinkly darker-in-the-center pattern on dried caps happens a lot too.

Thanks guys, yea that was TYPO aha I did mean semilanceata lol. In regards to it being cubensis, it does have that orangish brownish cinnamon color. At least the caps do.
