Worrying about toxins before eating libs

Greetings everyone,
I´m a little anxious about eating mushrooms. What if I accidentally picked the wrong one kind of thoughts. I´m wondering if there are ways of reducing toxins if there would be any while keeping the psilocybin, without a lab of course
For example, someone told me a while back that heating mushrooms in tea can be helpful in reducing toxins somehow.
Any ideas, methods or recommendations some of you might have?
I´ve been picking and drying liberty caps and I´m very confident in identifying them, however I´m new and a little paranoid when it comes to mushrooms and my health. I´m healthy, just don´t want to mess that up.

Are you concerned about having picked the wrong mushrooms or about toxins in liberty caps? If you're worried about having mis-IDing them I would wait until you are 100% sure on the ID before consuming. If you're worried about there being toxins in the liberty caps that will hurt you, the whole "magic mushrooms are toxic" myth is just that. A myth. Let go of that assumption and go have a good trip.

And in any case, don’t eat them until you are 100% confident in them. Once you’re tripping, any slightly weird feeling can turn into a full-blown panic if you think you’ve poisoned yourself

There are two types of mushroom hunter:
Old mushroom hunters.
and
Brave mushroom hunters.
There are NO Brave, Old mushroom hunters.
Back when I was picking lots of liberty caps my friends and I would have a post pick ritual. We would lay out what everyone picked on a table and spend a good bit of time going over all the mushrooms picked. Every fruit that was a NO or a MAYBE was removed from the pile. So by the end of the session we would be left with a pile that only contained fruit that everyone felt confident in the ID of.
We were all experienced mushroom pickers and were all very confident in our libery cap IDs so in the end the main purpose the ritual was to eliminate any worries or anxieties before tripping.

This thread has been closed.
Reason: Never eat mushrooms that are not 100% positively identified. Every single mushroom even if its in a collection. Every last one needs positive ID. End of story
