ID request on a possible magic shroom

I've found several unidentified mushrooms close to my house that I really know what they are. I'm new to this site so I'm having trouble posting up the pictures here. They're in my gallery if you have the time to look. I'll explain them as best as I can from here. They're white at the cap and the stem. The gills are close together and a light purple color. The cap is round at the top, no nipple. I'm currently working on the spore print for now. I found them on dry soil on a trail. That's all the information I have right now. Please someone tell me if you think these are psychedelic or not.

That is NOT a "magic" mushroom. Don't even THINK about consuming an unidentified mushroom without a 100% certain identification. Hopefully a trusted identifier will help you ID it. Did you look through a guidebook on your own?

Hell no I wasn't about to eat it without a sure identification, that's why I posted this. I've been looking everywhere for this type and can't find anything. Did you see the pic in the gallery?

To his credit, he didn't say anything about consuming it.
XvxfoREVerxvX, you have found Laccaria ochropurpurea, not active.

Okay thanks guys, I seen these and the purple gills and thought holy shit these might be active but I wasn't going to eat them an that goes for any other mushroom I'll find I find out for sure it is in fact an active mushroom. I'm doing some spore prints right now on a few more. Do the prints have to be a purple color or black to be active??

Many/most active species will have a purple or black spore print. These include the genus Psilocybe, Panaeolus and Copelandia.
There are other active species that are scattered about that will have other spore print colors. These include Pluteus and Gymnopilus for example. But you can't tell if it's an active species by spore color alone, but it is an important feature when ID'ing.
