> Just be honest and cooperate with the judge and police.
FUCK THAT. I don't usually use vulgarity, but this is as wrong of advice as anybody can give.
Keep your mouth shut. Don't talk to the police, the judge, the DA, or anybody except lawyer about what happened.

Every sight Ive seen says that mushrooms aren't illegal to have fresh.
Last time I checked (I live in Florida), fresh were legal in Florida. If you dry them or process them in any way, then they're illegal. This was done to prevent little old ladies out collecting pretty mushrooms for her flower garden from getting in trouble.
Things may have changed since I last looked this up, but make sure your lawyer knows that fresh is legal so far as you know.
Clicky!
Good luck!

the legality and the issue arrised from the fiske V. florida case also had to do with one otherr key piece of information, fiske claimed not to know that they were "active " mushrooms, which played a big part in his release

Yes, it's mildly different when you've got a bag full of actives-only that couldn't have come from anywhere but a field that is someone elses property. Most wouldn't consider it worth trespassing for edibles. But then again, out west lots of people break laws to get chantrelles.

Good point. When you go out hunting, make sure to pick a bunch of non-active shrooms to mix in the bunch. Even buying some supermarket shrooms to have with you if you get caught could make a big legal difference.

Cops WILL lie to you. They're legally allowed to and it's one of their most powerful weapon against the unsuspecting.
For example, the whole urban myth of asking a cop if he's a cop and he's required to answer truthfully is just that, a myth. People think if they ask first before buying drugs from an undercover, they're safe. Not so. If it were, then there would be no point to being undercover.
If they catch two people, they'll separate them and lie to them to get them to mess up their story and incriminate each other. They'll tell you your friend in the other room just admitted everything and said you did it. If you don't admit everything, he's going home tonight but you're going to jail. They'll be lying.
They'll tell you whatever they think will get them a conviction and they sleep perfectly well at night knowing they're liars.

It's only illegal if you ADMIT that you KNOW WHAT THEY ARE.
Claim that you were hunting for edibles and you must have made a mistake and picked the wrong kind and you'll walk.
Mention to the cop how "Psilocybin mushrooms are legal in Florida", or Cubensis whatever, and you'll go to jail.

Yep. But again, being a teen or in your 20's with only actives that you needed to hop a fence to get (unless you can prove that there are wild cow pastures) is tough as well. But, chances are they won't be wise enough to go that route. Some of us would probably make better prosecutors. And if you're really lucky, that fresh fungus is already black goop.

don't mention shit! let your lawyer do it.
i read of a shroomery member who pointed out to the cops that fresh psilocybic shrooms were legal in Florida and they looked it up and let him go, i'm not sure if he said they were psilcybes or not, but they did let him go after he asserted their legality.
but this is just hearsay anyway.
yes play innocent, but no don't say things. then they can catch you in lies.
if you talk to them about how they aren't illegal, on the one hand that's true that they aren't and they should let you go, but the other users are right than then it does show a knowledge that you deliberately picked psilocybes, knowing they were psilocybes, and that sort of construes an intent to eat them.
it seems like the only verbal thing that should take place is "why are you arresting me?" and "oh, i didn't know that's what these mushrooms were, but i heard for a fact on the news they are no longer illegal, can you look up the law for me?"
and they say "well how do you know" or whatever just don't add any crazy stories, just say you were randomly picking mushrooms and keep it simple. don't get caught in traps. "why?" "because i wanted to. Why are you arresting me for something that is not illegal? I do not wish to answer any more questions and want to be let go"
then you just have only one thing stated, you didn't know what they were and you were randomly picking mushrooms.

Listen dude. You were walking in the park, you saw some mushrooms and you thought "awesome! mushrooms! Just like in my Chinese food!" and you picked some up and were taking them home to show your mom. The reason fresh mushrooms are legal in Florida is because they grow all over the place and the cops can't charge every child who picks them up with drug possession. So unless you already said something dumb to the cops, don't sweat it.
It shouldn't be a big deal. DO NOT cooperate or admit anything to cops. Get a lawyer, or advice from a lawyer who specializes in these cases. Good luck bro!

In fields, behind fences... in poop. Probably not so much in between the slide and the jungle gym.

I've read similar things about fresh being legal in florida. Get a lawyer, claim you thought they were edibles.

I like your style... this is totally acceptable to say to a cop. the words "AM I FREE TO GO?" will take you a long way!
