Habitat: found in a cow field in a town in the Texas panhandle. the mushrooms were growing on a pile pf manure
Gills: mushroom gills were black
Stem: the stem of the smallest mushroom found was one and a half inches long and 1.5 cm thick. they were also hollow and they were an off white-ish color
Cap: the caps are hard to explain. kind of look like a halfway open umbrella. I will post pictures
Spore print color: spore prints were brownish purple
Bruising: stems didnt really bruise at all
Other information: Scent of the mushroom, anything else you think is important, large close-up pictures showing stem, cap and gills.

But if mushrooms have to be grown so carefully, then how could you ever trust that one in the wild wasn't already "contaminated"?

Most mushrooms won't actually fruit if they are contamnated, or they won't fruit good. The reason yo ahve to be so careful is because otherwise you want your chances to be high. In the wild they might have 1 in 100 chance of being successful. No one wants those chances when they grow themselves, so you have to be sterile.

So its more about the chance of a good yield, and less about the negative health effects of eating contaminated mushrooms.

Most contaminates aren't health hazardous, even though there are some that can be. But usually a distressed mycelium network won't be able to fruit, or at least fruit well.
But it's more of an actual chance for it to grow healthy and be able to spawn it.

Went shroom hunting the first time tonight and I believe I have found Panaeolus cyanescens. The temp has been around 85-90 at day then 70-75 at night. Has been raining the past few nights and found them in cow dung. I live in southern Alabama
