3 psilocybe cubensis found and harvested Very noticeable blue bruising Purple spores
blue bruising under cuts on cap & dark blue on stipe
 I’m guessing about 12 grams
Is the bluing a sign of activity in potency?

They are kind of pale and flattened out but I bet I can get a decent tea out of them

Wow, they're in really poor shape now. Next time just dry them, washing mushrooms is never a good idea. I hope you have a good drying method (i.e. food dehydrator) otherwise they will rot before you have a chance to dry them.

A cool air fan would dry them about %50 in a few hours to the point they are slightly drier than natural. But I plan on using them sooner. They are just really water saturated

Ok, im confused. In your OP, the photos show dried wild cubes growing from the ground but your third and forth photos shows them all wet. Did they get rained on between those times?

I just rinsed them off in rain water and tap water. I’ve haven’t noticed much of a difference if I wash shrooms before. It does look like they were rained on. Normally I would start to dry them right away The rinse caused more bruising and they are just slimey until they dry or eat them. I’m leaning towards making tea with them like this after I chop them with scissors

Ok. Huh.
Personally i would use a paper towel to clean them, or even a damp towel. But you do you

Yeah that does sound good. I was gentle with just placing them in a tub of water and then taking them out without stirring them around. Put them on paper towels. I think it just released some spores. They actually wouldn’t be bad to eat if I dried them out But I just have them for drinking

Shrooms are fragile to contact with water. Which is why rain can burn holes into the mushroom itself.
Looks like water damage and not a spore release. A learning lesson in the fragile nature of Shrooms.

Psilocybin is water soluble as greenween alluded to, so you are hurting your potency by rinsing them. By how much you are hurting the potency, I do not know, but you are hurting it

Yeah placing the mushrooms in the water is dangerous for the shrooms maybe there is fractional damage risking more damage but it usual takes a process or normal damage decomposition which can be easily shortened. Imo I can still get something out of these at this point which might not be if I have a tolerance to consume these. May be damaged physical the mushroom but may be there is insignificant amounts to psilocybin and psilocin itself. I’m interested in this about how and at what point all of the potency is transferred into water. Does that also breakdown psilocybin?
I alluded myself to think of the process of solution is beginning slowly then maybe more easily and completely with faster water solution

I don't think potency is the main issue here, it is more that the added water will speed up the decomposing and allow for a faster contamination of bacteria. If you need to clean your mushrooms, use a soft brush, tissue paper or whatever good dry wiping material you've got handy. Never use water or any other liquids for that matter.
