My roommate just bought shrooms off a stranger on the street...

Hello, I'm sort of new to shrooms in general, and he asked me if they were the real deal. They smell similar to the magic mushrooms I've had in the bast but they look different. They are all dried, but they have a brown color instead of the white stem I'm used to. Also the caps are brown.
I was wondering if they are in fact a type of magical mushroom, and maybe some advice on taking them? The stems are pretty long and thick.

I wouldn't eat those personally.
Maybe one of the TI's around here could give you a better answer.

I personally wouldn't eat those either. They look nothing like the cubes I'm used to.

Here's what I see:
1. Purchased by a stranger 2. Poorly lit photos showing orange-ish colored mushrooms 3. They are partially or completely dried
There is a chance that these are a wild or cultivated Gymnopilus species, some of which are active. Do you see any obvious green-bluing anywhere, even in small spots?
They should not be eaten unless the collection can be properly identified, and I'm guessing they are not going to get definitively identified.

I cut one of them up to further examine it. No blue or green just orange all the way through. Is this because it was dried? I have more photos of after I dismantled One

That last photo confirms it twice over. It's bunk, unfortunately.

any way you could show him the posts on here? everybody in this thread is saying not to do it, tell him it's not worth risking his life, the mushrooms are not going to do anything except make him vomit, and they may even possibly kill him. that's not a fun night. tell him to check out this forum and he can learn about where to find wild magic mushrooms in his area and people will help him identify things he finds.

Definitely not active. Might be Agrocybe or Cortinarius. Looks like they were dried well so I am guessing they came from the gourmet section of the grocery store. It is possible that they were found outside and are poisonous though.

Tell your roommate that he's an idiot. Flush those down the toilet. If he tries to eat them, punch him in the face until he stops. He's putting his life in danger to get high... That's worth punching him in the face.

sounds like the best idea so far, I would hate for a story to be on the news about someone dying because they ate poisonous shrooms. negative press is bad for shroom acceptance. is there a chance they are not poisonous? yes, but they won't make you trip, and there is a chance they could kill you.

No definitely not worth punching him in the face. That would almost certainly do more damage than eating the mushrooms would.

Ya bro don't eat them. They look a little orange-ish; if they're misidentified corts (Cortinarious sp.) he's going to be in a world of hurt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lethal_webcaps
If it's too late, and he already at them, how's your roommate doing?

Most Cortinarius species are edible.

I would punch him in the face regardless if they are poisonous or not because he bought mushrooms from a random ass hole off the street. Who knows what they are? Do not eat those!
