Why are you singling him out to pick on? Plenty of people have posts everday like this. If he doesn't want to give any info that's his choice. We can see exactly what species it is anyways.
He is brand new here so instead of going out of your way to be rude you could just help him get on the right track and welcome him to our community.
Welcome to the Shroomery Fallof32, here are some links to read before you go out looking and posting your finds:

your thread title says "magical"
there are many types of magic in this world
some magic you dabble with and trip balls, this is white magic, magic of the purest order
some magic you dabble with and blow liquid out your ass, this is black magic, magic that is dark and corrupt
stay in the light son...stay in the light

3 posts with inadequate requests all in search of 'magic'
pretty sucky posts imo, possibly from an underage user
do you want people feeling comfortable posting like this?

Going through all his posts and leaving dick replies that offer unsolicited criticism instead of just telling him what he's doing wrong and how to fix it is useless and silly, besides being rude.
You didn't answer my question, there are tons of these posts everyday, why are you singling him out anyways?

Pretty sucky way to treat brand new member looking for help. I have seen no cause whatsoever to believe he is underage. You're accusing him of that without a valid reason, why?

I want new members to feel comfortable and welcomed to MH&I. He did the right thing by coming here and asking for help instead of just eating it or ID'ing it himself. If anything, he just needs the proper guidance.

it's really not worth fighting over, my beef is not with you, it's with people that invest no time in a serious subject and expect others to swoop in and give them magical advice when they weren't even willing to compose a question or really care about an answer except the one they were looking for
maybe you think these people should be coddled
i think they should show some respect by participating like adults and showing a serious approach to a serious subject
and since you as a TI can't be 'rude' allow me to do it, unless you want enjoy getting bogus id requests

since i'm a dick sometimes i'm going to feel qualified to weigh in on this
masspan, i think Midnight is right, although i really do agree with your sentiment, and also believe some people do treat this site like you might a librarian when you just have a question
but i think its the intensity, and the personal nature of your attack on the poster that is inappropriate and elicited the response you got.
there are ways, and there are ways.
sometimes i do it the wrong way, and i try to learn from that.
i suggest in this case, you do too.

fair enough, certainly don't want people fearing to ask questions
to be frank, i don't think my response was particularly or intensely rude as more curt.
probably could have just posted 'not a very good id request, OP', or something like that, and then ignored the subsequent 'Magic?' posts
don't take it too personally, OP, and do spend some time researching your subject

Not the best ID request, but then again this isn't exactly MO. A good chunk of people post here because they simply wanna know if they have the goods or not. The picture is sufficient to answer his question.

ya, when i'm enjoying being a royal asshole, and i DO enjoy it, no bones about that, if i'm not too tired or busy i at least try to be a jovial asshole and make someone laugh (usually not the OP) cuz i think a little discomfort can aid learning, or at least goad someone to do better - doesn't always work. but its fun to try! hehe
and if that doesn't work, being nice and spoon feeding people we leave to the norwegians and swedes. apparently, they're happier and better adjusted than we americans are. but those damn socialists have it all wrong i hear. and the canadians aren't far behind, those unpleasantly pleasant helpful bastids.

OP didn't want an I'd request though. He stumbled upon a common field mushroom, did no research, and posted nothing but a bad picture and one word. He doesn't care what he found only what he didn't find; magic. He could care less about a sweet mushroom used in cookies that can come back from the dead.
I can see how people could be snappy about someone wanting their expertise but not following the rules that the site expects or even giving a shit about the mushroom he collected. I'm sure it's also very annoying that so many people just post any mushroom they happened upon hoping it's one of the maybe 30 in tens of thousands that contain psilocin. He probably could have just Googled and found out it wasn't "magical", (although there's that whole zombie thing I touched on), to be honest.
