Question - Odor, color and other indicators

I received some Albino Penis Envy from a vendor that had a few good reviews. I was expecting whole mushrooms but instead I got a vacuum sealed bag of Powder. It made me a little skeptical.

I've been around cubensis dozens of times, they all smelled like this powder smells. My research says some mushrooms have very unique smells: garlic, Beef bouillion, rotting flesh..
My question #1: Do any other dried mushrooms have that cubensis smell?
I decided to try to reconstitute some of the powder to see what it would look like. The liquid turned blue, the mushroom matter turned bluish grey. I looked into see what other mushrooms turn blue and there are a few, like some boletus.

I've looked into send some to a lab(energy control) but it seems a bit expensive for me. I know ehlrich reagant will react with anything containing an indole ring(like amatoxins or tryptophan). I've looked into melzer's reagent but i couldn't find much information
Question #2: How many types of mushrooms will react with Ehrlich reagent and do they each have their own unique smell when dried?
ehrlich test.
I know i am probably overthinking this but i thought i would ask some mycophiles.
Final Question: Can cubensis powder be identified by smell and color of the powder when in liquid?
Sorry if this last question is redundant. I am very curious to see how one could be sure without a spore print, full mushroom for ID or a Lab test. The smell is unmistakable; If it was put to my nose with a blindfold i would say "cubensis."
Hopefully this is the right part of the forum to post. Thanks in advance for any help.

Possible, but i would say no. This typical, disgusting cubensis smell is unique...
You can test your powder by mixing it up with water and heating it. It should turn bluish dark.
