That does not look like a cubensis unless it's water damaged or something. The bluing MIGHT clarify it an psilocybe, but I would wait for a TI.

They are rather small for cubes but that's all I can come up with a TI will definitely give you a 4 sure but they definitely look good to me!

Looks to be 2-3 grams of some kind of psilocybe...probably cubes if you're on the east coast of the USA. They just look like they were allowed to sporalate before they were picked which explains the discoloration.

I would say P.Cubensis but I do not like the darkness that is those caps. Looks like they were allowed to sporulate before being picked which reduces potency.

Do you have a source on sporulation reducing potency? I've never heard that before, just that it makes them taste like asshole

Perhaps I worded that wrong and I tried a quick search to back up my claim. I believe it is universally agreed that max potency is achieved when the viel is about to or has just broke. I would assume if the mushroom has been left to its final stage of full sporulation then you have probably brought it to its least potent state.

you search and can come up with no source on the claim so you go with "universally agreed"? Ok, guess I'll have to take the universe's word for it

Earth's Tongue?
And in the Shroomery thread you linked as a source 3 different Trusted Cultivators that chimed in said sporulation had no effect on potency at all:

RogerRabbit said: The veil is only a way of measuring the fruit. It has no relation to potency. They also won't add more than fifteen to twenty percent in weight after veil tear. That ain't worth the mess spores cause.
Quote:
myco.alchemist said: If you are going for "weight", let them open. You can gain 10 to 15% in weight. If you are going for looks, crop them just as the veil tears open. Potency, IMHO is about the same in both ways.
Got any scientific sources and not just hearsay?

Either way, this is no place to debate this topic. I know in my own experiences many have said my mushrooms were the best they ever had. Maybe because I took the time to isolate genetics, maybe my harvesting methods. But as I had said, this is something I personally believe, as do others. Maybe I will run my own trial periods for more information. Just because I accept this as true, does not mean I am claiming it to be fact or that new evidence will make me change my mind. The truth of the matter is no matter where I look I find no definitive evidence to say either side is correct.
