I got some Valuecraft windshield wiper fluid the other day and it lists water and methyl alcohol as its only ingrediants but its blue. Dose anyone know why its blue? Could anyone tell me if its ok to do psilocybin extractions with blue windshield wiper fluid?

The answer is no.
Methanol is a poisonous alcohol. To distinguish the color from water they add a blue dye, which they don't mention on the label because they're unscientific morons I wouldnt be surprised if it contained a detergent as well. Does it foam up when shaken?
Methanol is poisonous, but the dye is not, so it will remain in your product if the (toxic) fumes evaporate. The dye (methylene blue? what do they use?) probably is not foodgrade, so you don't want it in your psilocybin.
If you distil your windscreen wiping fluid, the distillate will be entirely volatile, and this you could safely use for your extraction.

Thanks Wiccan Seeker. Would dry gas be a better source for the methanol? Where could I get metahnol that would be suitable for a psilocybin extraction?

Allot of the time you can use Heet or a similar product meant for fuel line freeze up.
If you do, make sure to evaporate a bit of it on glass to make sure it does not leave any residue behind.
Also I've lucked out in the past and at certain dru*m*rt stores found bottles of fucking lab grade methyl alcohol!
