light gilled cube

I found this cube today and it has almost white gills a lot lighter then I'm use to seeing. But I know for sure it's a cube.

How do you know for sure that it is a cubensis? What characteristics of the mushroom make you so sure of this?
I can't make out any defining feature from the picture. Is that sand or bluing?

Best I could do for pics and I'm 99% sure it's a cube. Wondering why the gills are so white. Found in south Texas cow pie instantly bruised blue upon picking.

No annulus?
Please try to get the gills and the stem apex in focus.
Also wondering if this was found in mid-field or perhaps closer to a wooded area, and if perchance the mushroom grew through and not from the cow pie.

Middle of the field. Iv picked hundreds of them before in this field. Is there any that bruise blue n grow in cow pies that aren't active?

Light coloured gills mean it's sterile, it doesn't produce any (or very little) spores.

Could it be Lepiota caerulescen?

Cool find, OP! That's a desirable trait, imo. If you are a cultivator, that would be one to clone.
Spores make the shrooms taste worse. I also wonder if there is no energy being put into creating reproductive material, would more energy be put into tryptamine production...?

I've seen plenty of speculation on that, especially in threads about Penis Envy from the cultivation forum...all anecdotal of course...

Ancedotal indeed. I wouldn't state it as fact unless it had been proven.
The only thing I have to go on is this:
My sporeless beauty

I can only speculate that the extreme oxidation is from high alkaloid content.
That Shroom came from a clone that I took from a sporeless mutant. I'm glad I grew it out. I was going to toss the culture because they didn't look pretty.
