Do dealers sell fake shrooms?

Not sure if this is in the right section but I'm curious if it is possible for dealers to sell normal mushrooms sprayed with RCs as psilocybin mushrooms. I currently buy my shrooms and am somewhat curious if this was possible to happen. Does this ever happen and should I be concerned about it?

depends, it would be a waste of time and money for them to get legit psychoactive shrooms and spray them with rc's even if they were bunk, as long as you know how to tell what the psychoactive ones are, I can't see this being an issue.
Now them buying a store bought brand and spraying them is a possibility but it would probably cost them more then it's worth, especially if they wanted return customers, but again as long as you know how to identify the psychoactive ones, the chances of getting fooled are slim to none.
I would personally say that if you get handed them and can tell that they are legit cubensis or whatever species they claim, then chances are practically 0 that they laced them with something else, though i'm sure theres always one asshole somewhere who's a dick.
cubensis is the most common sold psycho active shroom, and easily identifiable, i'd study their pictures, and identifying features, and you'll 95% of the time know if they're real or not, and in case of that 5%, the people in this forum will be able to tell you for sure.

Okay, so.
Back in my younger and less ethical days we once took dried porcini's from the store, ground them up and put them in chocolates.The key, though, was the 20mgs of 2c-i we also put in each chocolate. And yes, we advertised them as "mushroom chocolates" which i suppose, in a way, wasn't a lie at all.

That is very uncommon. Almost all fake mushrooms are shiitake or other gourmet mushrooms with nothing psychoactive added.

One guy who was a pretty big time mushroom grower said he would lace his mushrooms. I've never looked this up and I'm unsure if this is a legit psychoactive or not , but I know for a fact he grew very good cubes.
Anyway he said he would soak rye grains in water. Then he would cover the grains in Saran wrap in a baking dish and set a red phosphorous lamp above. He said after a while he would scrape off the mold and dissolve it Into water then coat his mushrooms. He said it added an extra level of visuals.
This is just a story I was told. Judging by the character of the guy I would believe he would do it.

Rye mold could be ergot. It might be possible that it makes for a more intense trip OR it could kill you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergotism

I had the same hunch that "bought" shrooms were 'different' than the mushrooms picked from nature. With that said I'll always stick with a reliable source over any sketchy ones.

Study pictures of dried P. cubensis, as this is how they will be sold.

True, and if anyone had had the wherewithal to inspect the mushroom pieces in the chocolates, they would have seen a suspicious and conspicuous lack of blue bruising. Probably the most interesting thing about the whole experience though was how 20mgs of 2c-i people would buy and freak out on and "never do it again" but when they ate the chocolates it was "Aw man I love mushrooms so much lemme buy another two or three of those!"
I regret this shameful ploy we once engaged in in order to sell RC's but I let y'all know because it DOES happen, albeit infrequently, that someone might sell some "fake shrooms."

Not to grave dig but holy shit.
I bought Mushroom chocolates at a festival last year, that were kinda sketchy and they made me fucking paranoid as shit. I'd been doing shrooms the entire time totally fine until I took those things.
