Ground-scored some shrooms at LOCKN festival - are they legit?

Hi all,
This is my first and perhaps only post on this wonderful forum, but I need some help identifying the dried mushrooms I found on the ground next to my campsite. They look and smell like magic mushrooms but I have been sold fakes before. Here are some pictures: http://imgur.com/a/c6Ffw
Any suggestions for how to test the waters to be sure? Maybe just eat one? Thanks in advance!

I didn't notice any blue streaks on them but I've heard that not all strains have the blue streaks.

They do not look like cubes to me. Have you tried them yet? Personally, I'd toss em.

Those look like the things you get in the same places as Libs. Can't for the life of me remember what they are called but the stems are always incredibly slimey and slippy and when they begin to dry the tops can be mistaken for libs.

Damn so that seems like a unanimous "nope". I'll be testing them with a friend's testing kit on Saturday to know for sure.

Don't listen to this guy, he can't identify mushrooms at all.

For real don't listen to the guy that said they're cubes they are WAY WAY WAY to orange. They may be some other type of psychedelic mushroom but they are DEFINITELY not cubes I can say that with 100% because of how that one cap is in the center of the photo.

OK. Now show me at least one photograph of psilocybe cubensis that matches the specimens linked above. Please cite your source. Here is a great place to start looking, though it's unlikely you will find a photograph matching the set requirements.

Until then, the consensus is (obviously and including the opinions of two Trusted Identifiers) that those mushrooms are not cubes. It is true they exhibit a small number of traits with psilocybe cubensis, however those traits are more general than identifying (e.g. - the stem's shape is similar but the coloring and bruising is absent; the cap may have once had a similar shape as p cubensis, but the top is sunken in and "deflated" and doesn't look right, though this could also be due to mishandling or some other reason) and none of the traits that would lead one to believe the unknown specimen is in fact, psilocybe cubensis.
In case you are not sure what the TI tag means,
b. Trusted identifiers You'll notice that a few members have the new Trusted Identifier tag below their avatar and post count. In our constant efforts to improve the site and the dependability of mushroom identification information for our new members, we've decided to implement this tag to identify members who have proven by their identifications to be knowledgeable and experienced identifiers, as well as teachers.
None of these members have asked to have this tag, and in fact the first they'll know of it is when they log in next time and see it. Our membership here is fluid, so many skilled but former users don't have the tag.
It doesn't mean that those without the tag are not to be listened to or respected for their advice and opinions, but rather that those with the tag have repeatedly proved to the staff here that they're competent to answer questions and give advice.
The decision on who gets these tags is up to the moderators of the mushroom hunting forum. Please don't ask for the tag for yourself or nominate others. These tags, while an honor, are not intended to be an ego trip, but simply a help to our new members who often have to wade through conflicting advice on a new hobby that that can seem overwhelming at first. If you're presented with two different identifications, and one of the members has a trusted identifier tag, his or her advice would be your preferred answer.
The moderators are in regular contact behind the scenes, and we'll be the ones to give the tags, and to take them away for cause when necessary. I'm sure we've missed a few members who should have the tags, so as time goes on, we'll be adding more to the list. We really hope this helps.
This post is solely intended to help you, please take it as such. After viewing your rating it appears you have provided bad advice before, in other cases. Instead of relying solely on your personal experience to suggest something different than the general consensus, perhaps spend more time trying to understand how and why they reached that consensus and see if it changes how perceive the mushroom. Again, positive vibes man.

This could have been a PM, but it was made into a spoiler to help anyone else that may also be stuck on p cubensis.

I think government agents planted those shrooms there, they're regular mushrooms, but laced with research chemicals of nefarious origins, if you consume these OP you're willingly going to be their test subject, as they watch you flop like a fish out of water and take notes.
The choice is your...the choice is yours.

My mistake! Now I see these are not cubes, it's probably mushrooms with 4 aco on them. I saw some dried mushrooms that look exactly like that growing on my hill yesterday, smells like cubes looks like them but isnt.
