Help with identification READ!

Found these mushrooms in the woods near my house growing in damp, sandy, substrate. They were not growing out of dung but it could possibly have been a manure based soil. The caps are light brown in the center and darker around the edges. The gills are chocolate colored. The stem is hollow and about a cm in diameter, is a brownish color with some whiter spots, and at the top of the stem is a dark ring(near gills, may be a dark purple). The only thing that concerns me is they don't blue or turn purple with handling at all. Is it possible to have hallucinogenic mushrooms that dont turn blue/purple? Also, these were found in the midlands of South Carolina. They smell like fresh mushrooms that you would put on pizza.

what is the spore color? The description and habitat don't match any hallucinogenic mushrooms, but do match quite a few poisonous ones. Can you post a picture?

Generally speaking if there is absolutely no bluing wot-so-ever evident on the mushroom it is not active or very weak. In the case of very weak such as Gymnopilus you need to consume massive quantities to achieve a decent effect compared to a potent mushroom like Pan. Cyanescens which blues quite easily.

Xzibit - I think he means subbalteatus, since that doesn't blue most of the time.
People call both subaeruginosa and subbalteatus "subs", although for subbalteatus, the common slang seems to be "subbs" with two B's. Having two different subs has caused some confusion between users here before.

That's why I said generally speaking. There's always exceptions to the rule.... If you're completely new to mushroom picking going for bluing mushrooms is a lot safer than taking a guess on the non-bluing variety.
