Nah, trash the dried ones. You also have them next to Psilocybe cyanescens, not cubensis.

Many different mushrooms look similar after drying. Plus, those are cyans in the guide pic - not cubes. I've seen a lot of dried cubes, but I still can't guarantee these are cubes.


Yeah, what breeg said.

I'll have my dyslexia to thank for that. These scientific names have that 4th grade little girl in special ed class still inside of me working overtime. I'm embarrassed about my confusion. Good thing I consulted with the community first:blush:

Nah, you're good. You found actives one day after joining the shroomery. You know what you're doing.

No reason to be embarassed, that’s an easy enough mistake to make. Latin names make fools of all of us somewhere along the line, part of the reason they are so much more fun than the common names.

Before I joined, I was attempting to make my own field guide from researching ebooks and guides for my area with a small notepad I could take with me on hunts but I'm terribly unorganized so I realized I might miss identify something without consulting others with more experience. I noticed that I mislabeled some of my descriptions because of the confusing Latin terms. It's a dead language for a reason, everyone who communicated in Latin died from eating poisionous mushrooms with confusing names.

I was wondering if those dried ones I thought were dried cubes are possibly Pluteus? Any input?

those do not look active at all.  maybe Stropharia,  or photostropharia spieces maybe.  hard to tell when they're old and rotting.

Now that I have done a little more research I am wondering if any of these are older cubes? Again I'm having trouble getting a print



No, this looks like a pluteus species, the gills are pink from spores.

Thanks a bunch. I'm probably going out almost every night for the next week or so. I appreciate everything everyone has helped me with, hopefully I can do the same for someone else one day.

We will be happy to help you identify your finds, the more you hold in your hand, the more you learn in my opinion. You should get in the habit of smelling and even tasting your finds, just don't swallow any,  spit and rinse.

They are flushing beautifully right now in my area and that's just from the high humidity, if we could get some rain I would be ecstatic.

Damn I just got over the flu and have been out of commission. I'm feeling 100 now how's tonight and maybe the next couple of nights? I plan on going out tonight but hoping tomorrow night will be fruitful if I don't make it tonight trying some New spots too

I hated seeing that beautiful fog while I was bed bound and not being able to get out there. I'm going in a while and will report back any findings

I had terrible luck tonight, I used a different carrying container that kept opening in my bag squishing all my findings. My flashlight went out and I had to use my phone screen to see. My friend said I could use his uncle's field which was true... before my friends brother told Uncle about my Jewish father and sister. Said he didn't want the Jew girl near his cattle because IDK uh...I'll Jew up the cows and they'll start complaining about the weather who knows so I had to act fast without good lighting and a container that kept opening in my satchel. Here's a collage of what I found all found on dung no cubes I think but the ones with black gills are interesting they're staining my hands black other than that no prints yet. I got anything? Sorry about the picture quality

Youve found a few p cubsensis.
Important advice:  it looks like you pulled the mushroom up from the patty, as I can see debris at the base of the stem.

You do not want to do that. Use scissors when you hunt, there should be a clean cut and about a half inch or so of undisturbed stem emerging out of the patty.  When you pull the mushroom out it destroys the mycelium and the patty stops producing.

Your mushroom stems should look like this:

Oh crap I don't want to mess up my new spot thanks for the advice.
Which ones are cubes exactly? I found one a couple weeks ago and didn't look like these. I'm still learning, what feature from which pictures indicate cubes? I know it got cold last night maybe that's what changed the appearance? Lol I just posted the black one starting a new thread it has/had me very curious I couldn't figure it out

The ones with the lighter in the pic.  The bigger one looks weird and distorted but it's almost certainly P cubensis, and the smaller one is definitely a pin of p cubensis.  In another day or three it would have opened up and been much bigger.

You've also found what look like some active pan cyans.  These are more potent and taste MUCH less disgusting than cubes, but finding them amidst the oceans of inactive pan species you'll find is a bit harder which is why I mostly just hunt cubensis unless I see a really obvious pan cyan.  These look just like the inactive pans except the color is grayish yellow and of course they bruise blue, in fact pan cyans are so potent they eventually bruise black.

Basically you need to wait for a day where it rains pretty much all day and remains humid once the rain pulls out for a few days after that.  Then the pastures will produce cubes like gangbusters.  You can hunt in the meantime and you'll have some scattered success, but the real good harvests come with the spring rains and humidity.  I'm thinking your area of Texas has a climate similar to me and that has been my experience here.  It won't be long before you find guys like this on a regular basis:



When that happens, don't be like me and make yourself immune to psilocybin.  That mushroom in that picture didn't even give me a buzz.  Once every two weeks, once a week if you want to push it.  Any more often than that and you'll be wasting tremendous amounts of good product

I've been hunting almost a month now got a couple cubes grinded up stored away was just waiting for enough for me and my husband both as he's never shroomed before and it's been about 6 years for me. That's why I'm being so thorough, for his sake really. I want him to have a great experience with me. It's gonna be a bonding experience. Once we get that out of the way I'll probably cut it down to once or twice a year maybe. Back when I did them with any regularly, once a month at the most. It's a spiritual thing for me like going to church for folks like me who would rather shit a cactus than go to an actual church.

Are we sure that's a cyan? How sure? Any look alikes that would harm us? That would be amazing if it's actually a cyan! Never thought I'd actually find one

Definitely not positive that’s a blue meanie.  As has been posted before, it is much harder to identify dried mushrooms than fresh.  The caps of some of your finds just have that deep dark blue that is characteristic of pan cyans.  I don’t believe inactive pans are harmful but I find hunting pans to be more trouble than it’s worth, at least in my field, especially given the abundance of cubes it produces.

One more thing to keep in mind, the conventional wisdom of an eighth being the standard recreational dose is based on indoor cultivated mushrooms which tend to be stronger.  Based on my experience with wild harvested p cubensis it takes at least 5 grams to get me anywhere even remotely good.  And if you underdose you’re stuck for a couple weeks because of tolerance.

You could always go to Amsterdam and sample the truffles there safely and legally too.  But I don’t think Amsterdam is a good environment for experiencing shrooms.
