YES. I'm pretty sure this only applies to England.

Yes, especially if your bag is all actives. A mixed bag might help you plead that you were just picking mushrooms to make soup with or something.

Ive read from 3 sources below that they are legal, wikipedia.com says fresh or unprepared psilocybin mushrooms are legal to possess in Florida.
http://www.clusterbusters.com/legal.html: "Only Florida does not currently have an applicable law against possession of psilocybin mushrooms. "
http://www.erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms_law.shtml: Florida stands out because of a decision in 1978 in Fiske v Florida by the Florida Supreme Court which ruled that wild-picked psilocybin mushrooms could not be legally considered "containers" of psilocybin and thus would have to be specifically listed in Florida law by the legislature if they meant to make them illegal. Since the Florida legislature has not chosen to change the laws since then, wild Psilocybin mushrooms are presumptively legal to possess in Florida. This does not mean police won't arrest people for possession of even wild mushrooms, but this has been used as a successful defense against such charges.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychedelic_mushroom: "state of Florida[citation needed], fresh or unprepared psilocybin mushrooms that grow wild are legal to possess"

The most they can do (if you're smart) is confiscate them. Possession is legal on one condition: Don't admit that you know what the shrooms actually are. You can tell the cops that you picked them in a field so you could cook them up and eat them. ...the fact that you don't know what they are makes you innocent of any crime. Fiske v. Florida in 1973 gave this ruling. Be careful, and don't get caught. Cultivating anything would prolly get you in trouble, but just having them on you wet will prolly just get you a warning.

chances are you will still be arrested and the judge will have to sort them out. They will almost certainly confiscate them and send them to stbi labs to find conclusive evidence that they are indeed actives. Once they have come back as controlled substances if you are not already in jail a warrant will be issued and then the next time you get caught speeding, whammy, in the clink you go.
also appearance and attitude will probably play a large role in the way things pan out. I mean if you get caught with a garbage bag of wet shrooms, long hair and a a tie dyed shirt, things may not go over well for you.

Unless you drew the most liberal cop in all of florida, you'd be in bad shape.
Just stop by the grocery store, buy some mushrooms, ditch everything but the package. Use that for harvesting, and keep them in the bag with the reciept. You were just pulled over on the way home from the grocery store!
If he can spot actives on sight, after searching your bags for some reason, then you have some piss poor luck.
Just try to drive within the law, and don't get pulled over.

He may notice the bag is open, and no mushrooms I have ever seen in the grocery store looks like any mushroom I ever shoved in my face to trip.
I like the oh we was out huntin wild mushrooms for dinner idea.
Also cops need warrants to search peoples cars. it is true, a judge has to allow it if you have the balls to refuse them. they may be able to run a dog through, but I don't thing dogs are taught to smell out zoomies.

I don't see how state law would matter. Federal law still says you should be prepared for a stay in the assrape motel.
