Unless you live inthe Pacific Northwest right now I doubt if you have any edible or psychoactive shrooms. You did not say wher eyou live or describe what mushrooms you are trying to identify. mj

ok, I live in southern california and i'll describe the mushrooms to ya ok they have a brownish tip then it goes white (a little) the brownish again. the underside is brownish white and the stem is a paste white. Im a begginer at this and im trying to find mushrooms that arent poisonous and can make me trip, and that are very easy to find. Oh and the mushroom is like a dome not flat or anything, if that helps.

posting a picture would help us to let you know what type it is.

well, i dont really have any pictures of it I looked all over the internet but that doesnt help. But i think it might be related to the Liberty Cap, because the liberty cap grows is tall grass lands, and thats were the mushrooms are growing in my tallish grass. but i couldnt find any pics of it. -Koytoy

Well Panaeolus castaneifolius is indeed a "lawn shroom" and if i am not mistaken, has been found in Southern CA. The best time of year to find Pan. cast. in southern FLa, (From my own experience) Is the month of March. -In well manicured lawns with nice sprinkler systems. Also in the month of March in S.FLa I have found Panaeolus fimicola, in nice lawns. So, i wouldnt go as far to say that the only place in the united states to find lawn shrooms is in Seattle Warshington...thats never true. koytrap, Your going to need a camera, and more importantly, you need to research you mushrooms, before you could ever think about eating anything you find. -Eating unidentified mushrooms is a very risky game to play. Keep shroomin, GG

YEs Great O ne234, I found P. castaneifolius on a lawn in Southern California, however that was one lawn in twenty yeas. I also found Conocybe cyanopus just three times on a lawn in over twenty years and only found Panawol.us subbalteatus in manure three times in my life. Yes they grow on lawns but very rarely ever. Yes you found P. fimicola but no one else has down there. so it came up on one lawn for a while does not mean it will be back. mj One more item, Liberty caps are common in the British Isles and many times are picked from lawns. Well in Settle I found a few lawns back in 19778 and 1979, and one field in the arboretum had liberty caps but no catle ever. They grew two years after the park was fertilized and then were never there again. Copelandia cyanescens was reported from Australia by sevral narcotics officers as being found in a lwn which was recently sprinkled with chicken manure? and In Bern Switzerland, a whoile lawn of panaeolus bisporus appeared for two years a few years ago. This is a tropical species only known pof from Africa and Hawaii and now from Switzerland. But it has no been seen there since. Mj
