Is it active and are they edible? I split the stem and cap in half, went from a flush orangish yellow to an immediate blue throughout then to almost black

From as much information as I can gather from pictures, they appear to boletes bicolor. Edible but not active. Tested a fully grown one, the one with the brown cap. No reportable effects.

I would be really interested to find what active species are in my area but no guides or pictures show anything like what I find. Even in cow pastures here the ones I see growing are stringy stemmed with grey caps that have black lines coming from the center to the edges of the cap. Nothing but these have any indication of bruising, most shred apart easily.
Extremely rare fairy rings occur.

Go to the mushroom info tab at the top and go to mushroom hunting, there are lists of all the known mushies in your state or States. Then they have another page that tells you all about each mushie!!! This site has everything you need!
Also I'm from Florida idk about p cubes growing where you are, but if they are they will be in cow fields under big trees or along the fence line, I'm sure they are around! Go during the day and try it out! Also keep a eye out for panaeolus cinctulus.

Yea further north I would imagine it's harder to find cubes! I've noticed that huge acre fields have the same amount if not less then smaller ones, idk some fields are Barron others are just filled with them, I've heard grain fed cattle are the best, and where I'm from there are a lot of fields where the cows are just free roaming and hay fed. But cubes definitely like their shade but not too much so you'll notice them around big oak trees and stuff or when it's really cloudy out. Also they seem to like a level ground to grow on the best, my theory is the rain washes the pies down hills so they don't have the time to grow.

Can I get a confirmation of the pictures posted above? I believe I correctly identified them as boletes bicolor.
