hey from ottawa here( found shrooms on cowmanure )

alright newbie here i got a bucket full of them. As i grazed the cow pastures, I came along some old looking dried out cow pies, now these pies have mushrooms growing out of them few big ones but lotsa small ones the size of the caps were the size of ur pinky and thumb nail.
there was 2 types of shrooms, one was like brownish but very glistened like shiny, and the other was a normal white yellowish cap.
I'v read about this and it says only real magic mushrooms stain blue. but when i picked them i'd squeez the stem and no blue comes out just water...
i'll post some pics but what have i found? and they would grow in heaps of old cow shit.
i didn't find any shrooms on the newer pies.
btw thats not my pic!!! but basically thats an identical picture of what i would have seen today of picking shrooms. exact same but smaller babies lots of baby shrooms but there was ones the same in the pics. which i said identical picture.

well in order to know for sure you would need to examine your specimens and post your information. Pictures are also useful. BTW...blue shit won't ooze out of the mushrooms...rather, if you softly squeeze the mushroom and after a good long time it bruises blue, you are likely to have found an active mushroom. CHECK FOR BLUE BRUISING...however subtle it may be.

if you're in Ottowa, you need to be looking elsewhere.
Psilocybe cubensis and Copelandia cyanensis are subtropical species, meaning you aren't going to find them where you are.

that may be but you did not find P. cubensis growing outdoors in canoodia unless you put it there.

Yes, I should have been more specific.
You did not find a wild Psilocybe cubensis growing in Ottawa... Methinks you couldn't identify a P. cubensis in hand...

psilocybe coprophila is not toxic. people have told me they've eaten these and had no trip or indigestion. then again, youre eating a shroom from crap for no reason. im sure theres plenty of bacteria that COULD do something to you.

hooksbooks, please refrain from making jokes to people in this forum when it comes to the eating of various mushrooms. Thanks.
And Psilocybe coprophila is nothing you want to eat as Subbedhunter420 said. Typically this non-psychoactive species of Psilocybe are "safe" to eat, but some people can have allergic reactions to even the most popular of Edible mushrooms. That is why (when cooking new mushrooms) it is a very smart practice to eat only a couple small spoonfuls (a small sample) of any cooked mushroom you have never tried before, until you know it will not make you sick. Some Morels (if uncooked) will make people sick. Another example is The Prince Agaricus (Agaricus augustus), it is one of the most wonderful edible species on the planet but for some people they become violently ill after the meal. The list goes on and on. It is very important to learn these things before you go and start eating wild mushrooms.
