I have found these many times now and everytime i think they are active, the gills are very purple, a little browninsh, but the stem is like pure white and hollow, it smells just like a cube, but its not a cube, there are a bunch of little bumps on them when you first pick them, kind of like a dust. And no apparent bruising except after picked the cap if its thin enough seems to turn really purple. I did my best taking a pic of a spore print but as you can see my camera sucks.
here is my trys at the spore prints....

And the gills of Coprinus are black (JET BLACK), never purple or brown at all. That particular one resembles Coprinus atramentarius, a mushroom which contains disulferam liek chemical compounds similar in effect when eaten to antibuse. If you eat some, every time you take a drink of alcohol you will have a vomiting reaction to the shrooms. This can occur up to 6 days or so after you have eaten them as well as the first drink.
Glad you asked us about them. Some people see blue and purple where it is not blue or purple and eat unidentified shrooms anyway and then post here as I may ahve eaten something I shouldn't have eaten. Well IT is now really out of season form most shrooms in the USA and WEstern Europe and the next ones to come will be int he early spring. after the rains.
mj and have a shroomy day.
Of course Copes and cubes are common on and off during this season but sometimes it gets to cold in America for them and they can disappear for a few months.
When I lived in Jacksonville for six months in 1979, I collected cubensis only two of those months. First it was too cold and then after they came it became too hot for them. Of course in the souther regions of Florida they are common on and off. But extreme dry seasons or cold seasons they can disappear.

dude your lookin for trouble. Why would you eat a mush you didnt have identified yet? You do know the wrong mushroom can KILL you right? Or that the wrong mushroom can leave you with a severly damaged liver for the rest of your life? Be more carefull.

they could melt your brain too if you eat the wrong types, it will liquefy and run down your spine and your bladder absorbs it.. by this point the mushrooms poison turns your skin a nearly green and your family will be sad...
he got lucky.

Your a lucky soul, theres been alot of posts with noobies looking for cyans and bringing in galerinas going "LOOK AT ALL THESE CYANS!!!!"
Never eat a mushroom your not sure of. Take it from me, and my experience with Chlorophyllum Molybdites, mushroom poisoning is the worst feeling on earth and I wish it upon no one, I have had a thousand bad trips better than this experience. When they tie a bag around your waist to catch the 6 foot sprays of bloody fecal matter, you will learn to take identification slowly and catiously, I just hope you make that step without having to experience the horror of poisoning.
