Cubensis Without Bruising?
#26612251 - 04/19/20 07:43 AM (3 years, 9 months ago) |

Habitat: Perimeter of our chain link fence. Was growing in the grass, but I read it is possible for cubensis to be found in grass occasionally.
I do live next to cow pasture, but it is about an acre worth of land away from this fence.
Gills: Brownish Purple, was attached, straight gills from stem to cap end (I see toxic ones according to what I have searched tend to branch off like Y shapes under the cap)
Stem: 3in tall, 1/4 in thick and had a veil on it (wasn't purple but maybe just spores haven't fell on it as the spores to me seem purplish).
Cap: Diameter 3in, color White/Tan, texture does seem to have the sticky cap when I tried to pick it up off the plate shown.
Spore print color: Very important!
Bruising: Color that the mushroom bruises, if any.
Other information: Doesn't seem to bruise blue at all. Is this normal if it is say too fresh or maybe had less oxygen available to it (chemistry/nutrient sense not referring to air) from it not being in cow poop?

Trying to, but formats are not supported to upload. Guess I have to load it elsewhere and link to it.
Edit: Figured it out. Sorry been reading these forums for a while, but never made an account till this morning.

copy and paste the code below the pictures into the same box you have used to comment in the thread and we will be able to see them.
with that said, the mushrooms in your gallery are not Psilocybe cubensis, post clear up close pictures of the cap, gills and stem, in situ photos are also helpful

Well, whatever that used to be, it wasn't a cube 😀

Only half the cap is there. It was round originally and the splits in the cap are also from me trying to make it bruise. I am still waiting for the sun to come up to see it with another spectrum of light. LED and low watt incandescent and all I have available to me. Is that a thing possibly?
Uploading closer pics now.

No need to wait that long to see bruising. Cubes will bruise blue/green where you touched it/cut it right away. Seconds to minutes tops. What you have there could maybe have been an agaricus. But that's only guesswork.

actually, it can take 30 minutes to an hour sometimes, it depends upon the amount of psilocin in the mushrooms, psilocin is what causes the bluish/Bluish green bruising when it reaches oxygen it starts oxidizing.

lol...ok so I have some new questions.
Edible? looking up the info on agaricus I find the following that does seem to line up...
Cap is not unpleasant odor, not foul but not sweet. The stem however did give me a hint of almond smell like it notes it may.
The bad ones I read don't seem good if odor is unpleasant as a rule of thumb?
Hallucinogenic? lol I licked the chocolatey moisture on my finger tips an hour ago and might be feeling something...maybe. Interestingly to me though the color seems kind of like the chocolate like, but touching them they bruise brownish purple.

Really? Most of the cubes I find bruise right away. The slow ones maybe 5-10 minutes. I suppose this could be genetics or environmental factors? I only hunt cubes in Asia.

For agaricus that's a good rule, but can't really identify it to genus in that state. Find another one and take pictures before you thrash it 😅 And no, it's not psychoactive 😂

Here Is The Shroomery's Psilocybe Cubensis Page, If You'd Like To Learn More.
https://www.shroomery.org/12500/Psilocybe-cubensis
There Are Textbook Pictures Of Psilocybe Cubensis On The Page, As Well As Some Shroomerites Galleries, Doc9151 & Myself Included. If You Study Pictures Of Cubes Long Enough, They're Nearly Impossible To Misidentify. (Hunting & Finding Them Helps Too Lol)
