To Eat Or Not To Eat... That Is the Question..

aAlright. I just got back from the field out here and it was 76 degrees, 53% humidity, and the barmeter said 30.12 . So I went out to take a look for some mushies. All that I found were some small caps that were growing from hay dung mixed together. They dont look like anything i've come across before in the cubensis family. They have hollow white stems that support a very thin blueish colored cap. The gills appear to be on both the outside and inside of the cap yet the under side of the cap has much deeper gills. They do not blue or turn green to show psychoactivity. Yet the caps are definately a light heavenly blue.. The under side is a little darker and the prsence of a grayish blue is even stronger there.By the time I got home some of the caps were secreting an inky black substance. I'm ins MS and need help identifying them before I eat them. Thanks. light heavenly blue..

The only coprinus I would bother eating is comatus. Yours is far from it. The specimen you have is inactive and possibly poisonous if combined with alcohol. They are also very common all over the place.

they use those to treat alcoholics. if you eat them you cant have a single drink of alcohol or you start throwing up compulsivle from what I understand.

yeah the shroom to which you prefer makes your body innable to detoxify alcohol, so i'd imagine the throwing up would be insane. didn't know they used it to treat people...that doesn't sound safe...or tasty.
