One they will not hurt you but they are common in Psilocybe cubensis and Copelandia/panaeolus species.

ANd no, they are not heart worms.

If you do eat them in a shroom and many have since the eggs are deposited in the stems and then hatch and the worms make their may up the stalk to the cap and then proceed to eat the caps completely, leaving only a wet gob of gooey liquid where the cap use to be.

And they are a good source of protein.

..Strange thing though...I didnt find any cubes out there... ???

I must have checked about twenty different HORse pastures in your area with no such luck. Oh but now I see in your last reply that they grow in the COW Pastures in VIrginia!

Oh well, guess I gotta get back on the road again.. head back up to VIrginia into the cow pastures SHROOM HUNTIN'

Oh well.

GGreatOne2345, now you have to go back to Virgina and look in the cow shit instead of the horse shit.

No shit! yeah no Shit.

I have no recorded listing for P. cubensis i as far north as Virgina.

one person years ago told me he found three in Cairo, Illinois. He is an expert in the field yet deposited no Cairo, Illinois specimens in any herbarium to verify that they occurred there.

as far as cairo illinois (ive looked on the map and even been near it before), i dont want to call that a fluke but i just dont see how that could possibly happen. it is nowhere near the enviroment that the cube would naturally grow.

thank you, i just had to get that off my chest
