Blue Caps? Gold Caps?

ok so everyone that i know calls shrooms 1 of 2 things...either gold caps or blue caps. Are these just really misinformed people that have no idea what they are talking about or are there mushrooms that are called gold/blue caps?

Most everyone who hasn't done research into mushrooms believe some weird crap that isn't true.
Hell, half the people I know think that magic mushrooms are poison and thats what makes you trip. They also think that bigger is better, and this is one subject that is almost opposite that.
To answer your question, no there aren't. Bluing is caused by oxidation.

Blue for bruising.gold for verm being stuck to them is my guess
And yes it is downright amazing how ill informed the general public is about mushrooms,I wanted to slap someone not all that long ago who insisted that mushrooms can be resold....This guy was insisting someone can eat mushrooms ...crap them out and wash them and resell them again cause they never digest

People who are in need of serious need of attention, sometimes produce the wildest and most fucked up stories there are.
Plenty of them seem to be quiet creative in developing bull shit stories about mushrooms. Real ear-catchers, that unfortunately spread their shit pretty damn fast. Haha 
It seems that the more stupid the story is, the more people believe it. Though I guess most people don't really believe it, but are too lazy to look up the truth for themselves and tell other people the exact shit they here, that might sounds a lot more fantastic than the truth.
While these people are just jerks, people who actually look up the "facts" and don't believe them, although other people who cultivate mushrooms for years tell them the way it really is, are the real ignorant fucks!

 Sorry that's so small but you can see the Gold/blueish/green color

Most of the Cubes that I have seen dried(if dried properly) are a beautiful Gold color=hence calling them "Gold-Caps". I have heard that quite often, yes. As for the blue caps, there are "Blue Meanies",, but they don't have Blue caps. The blue caps are probably from bruising(I assume)

Mushrooms work because after they're broken down in your stomach, the fungus liquid goes into your brain and sloshes around like dirty marsh water. Marsh rooms, get it? That's what makes your brain bleed. And when you've chummed the waters too much, the trip sharks come out and you go insane, so you have to surf as fast as you can back to the shore. Bad news.

on alot of my dried shrooms, b+ strain, the rims of the caps are a distinct blue. on some of the smaller mature ones ive seen the whole cap turn a bluish tint. for the most part golden but there is definitely some blue. but then again after a decade of tripping i see colors on just about anything if i look hard enough

Growing up around Seattle I recall everyone called them by their exact species name... Not sure if it's just because they seem to grow better up here or not.
When I lived in California (bay area) no one knew anything about schroomes. Obiviously this is just an observation.

i would probably guess it's from the "L". hundreds and hundreds of hits in the timespan of a few years when i was a teenager. "L" is so electric it doesn't bother me at all. matter of fact i kinda like it.

The caps on lots of cubes turn gold when dried. Definitely on golden teachers.
Lol! I definitely remember all the stories from high school about both lsd and psilocybin getting somehow "stored up in your spinal fluid" and will supposedly a. Make you trip when your back cracks or you get hit in the back, and b. Eventually make you fully "insane". This went along with "they can only drug test for acid with a spinal tap".
I also remember hearing if you take 2 hits of acid you are "legally insane" for the rest of your life.
These days I'm not so sure "sanity" is a real thing in the first place.
