Hey everyone, I am new to shroom hunting and had a few questions regarding the hunt I will be doing tomorrow. Tomorrow I will be going somewhere where I know there are Psilocybe azurescens and cyanescens but had a few simple questions before I go.
1. I know there are some look alike mushrooms but they are deadly... how close do some look to the real thing? This questions may be useless after question 2...
2. Does blue bruising mean that it is 100% the real thing?
I may be new to hunting but I'm not an idiot and I know I don't want to die because of some stupid error on my part.
P.s Pictures will but up tomorrow so that way I can know for sure before even thinking about eating them. And if anyone is wondering why I'm going by myself for the first time, its because I don't have a mentor to take me... Surprisingly I cant find anyone who shrooms at the UW.

If it's blue bruising and looks like a cyanescen then it is at least in the Psilocybe genus. However, that being said, looks seems to vary a LOT from person to person. There are other mushrooms that bruise blue that are not Psilocybe and some that are poisonous but they look nothing like a cyan, to me anyways. I can't believe some of the pictures people post asking if it's a cyan... It just isn't that hard, you will know if you find a cyan. They have a white stem that bruises an apparent, metallic blue. Simple as that. Anything else is just wishful thinking.
Good luck. Post pics.
