N. Florida Identification Please?
    #21021863 - 12/24/14 03:15 PM (9 years, 4 months ago)




Hi! I am new to all of this ID stuff. Please bear with me.
Been collecting manure from cow fields for gardening purposes in Northern FL.
Nothing super notable this far until today, when I noticed a few caps popping up. What caught my eye was a bent one, bright blue in color. The pictures I took are not good quality---Sorry!
I didn't dare pick one for a print, because I'd like to see them grow-especially if they are actives!
What I've noticed about them:
Growing out of cow dung that's been sitting for several weeks in partial shade.
Cap seems tannish with a darker center.
Stems are quite thin and appear to be a white color.
They clearly bruise blue as all hell when damaged.
I'm hoping to see a larger one soon so I may attempt a spore print!
I am sincerely hoping that this post is deemed acceptable/detaile enough!
Thank you ahead of time for any advice/IDs/assistance!!

2 might be agaricus campestris - may we see its cap, and could you do a spore print?

I'm not an identifier but if you're looking for actives I would start by searching what actives grow in your area. Then I would look up the characteristics of those. I know one thing you look for is blue/purple bruising. But before you start posting multiple pictures asking if they're active or not get a good idea of what you're looking for and go from there. Good luck with your searching. Mushroom picking is one of my favorite pass times when they're in season where I live. I only pick edibles though.

Maybe check out this link http://www.shroomery.org/12257/North-America
It's got all the actives that grow in your area.

I never understood why people wanting to find psychoactive mushrooms in Florida don't just go to the livestock fields:shrug:
Florida is known for this,and you aren't probably going to find any active mushrooms in the woods in Florida,but you can find cubensis most every single time you get good rains in the fields:wink:
I found Gymnoplius only a handful of times when I lived there,but found pounds of fresh cubes in the fields nearly every time I went out:thumbup:

Do cubes grow year round in Florida? Well after it rains at least?

I lived on the panhandle,and yes,I found them year round,and as a matter of fact everybody laughed at me one morning after I told them I was heading out,and this one time in particular,there had been a week of straight cold rain with temps in the 40's for highs,and when I went out that morning it was in the high 40's pushing 50.
It was pretty damn cold,but I came  back with quite a few,much to all their surprise!
You can find them in the winter,in Northern Florida,but not as good as you can in the warmer months,is the moral of that story,but they can be found most definitely:thumbup:
The conditions just have to be right,lots of humidity and rain of course:yesnod:
It was in January too,when that  happened by the way:mushroom2:

First two look like a Cortinarius species to me.
The next one is Stereum ostrea.
The last two are a Russula species.

None of them are active, or common edibles.

Thank you all for your feedback/comments! I have done some research and found it difficult to distinguish pictures/actual findings.
I live very close by many, many livestock fields (miles of them, as a matter of fact) but I am not one to trespass out of fear of a shoot out.. Any advice there?
Also, would anybody mind explaining how I would go about doing a "spore print?" This is a confusing matter to me.

While I am here, I have several more findings which I will post here, the pictures are far more Specific.

Am I correct in thinking that, in order to make a spore print, I would place a cap- gills down -on paper under a glass overnight?

Yes - you could put it face down on glass or on a transparent acetate sheet, so you can then put different colours of paper behind it to see what colour the spores are. Or you could put the cap and gills over half white and half black paper. You can do it just of, say white paper, but the problem is that white spores won't show up very well.

Ah, I see now.. As of this moment they are on white paper plates... This will do me no good, no?

Are any of what you listed active and/or safe to consume?
