No. I don't know how many "LBM"s are edible, poisonous or deadly, but there are lots that are no good. If you know exactly what you're looking for, it helps a lot. Definatly need a couple good field guides. Take prints to aid in identification. There are a lot of really smart people here that should be able to help you out more and give you some good pointers.

yesterday i was combing a open field for cubes. i found one cube in it, then continued finding patches of mushrooms that resembled the cube so much i was amazed! only thing that really set them appart was they didnt stain blue. and the veils were black instead of dark purple! bee careful buddy

heheh, theres mushrooms everywhere in florida right now, couple more weeks things should be REALLY SHroomy out there.

"Or are there other rarer psilocybe analogs that are harmful?" ---damnit Loren, ive told you like ten times now that the only shroom in florida you should be eating are Psilocybe cubensis.
