they look like they might be infested with larvae, you will find out by tommorrow from the caps you are trying to print
congrats on the finds though i guess. you did not find any Copelandia?

the months of december january and febuary are good for finding dung loving shrooms in the tampa area, in smaller amounts then in the summertime but the weather is perfection for hunting compared to the summer. and no bugs.
someone over at mycotopia's hunting forum posted a photograph of Psilocybe cubensis, Panaeolus cyanescens and Panaeolus subbalteatus, all found in the same florida cow pasture. from today.

cpkai75, the spore prints for Psilocybe cubensis turn out dark-purple. sometimes dark purplish-chocolate.

Congrats on your find. This winter, I had not been able to devote time to hunt. It probably is over for me until this spring. I am glad that some else is having success. I have never tried hunting this late in the season so I do not know if they are in my area. The latest I have found shrooms is Xmas time last year. I do know that they start popping up around April. Continued Good Luck!

Do not give up.
Failure is not an option.
Keep looking until you find them.

they are out there right, now, just in small numbers
if you do not find at least one shroom after a hour in one field then try another
Copelandia mushrooms are more common then Cubensis in the tampa area during the winter months.

Copelandia mushrooms grow from cow dung also. They are smaller in stature, but are usually around 3 times as potent as Cubensis by weight. Copelandia do not have veils. Do a image search or something to get a idea what they look like. Basically every single Copelandia will bruise the color blue whether provoked or not.
No i never wrote a website, just contributed to others.
If you spend enough time looking for shrooms in the tampa area right now you will find them. Check different pastures until you stumble upon some. You can find them at night time easily also. If you do not find any types of mushrooms within 30-60 minutes, try another field and so on until you bump into them.

no not libertys, not at all, nothing like that grows in florida.
probably the most common names i have heard for Cubensis in Florida is Purple Ringers and Gold Tops. Most shroomers in Florida have no idea what a Cube is or Cubensis. And most do not know about Copelandia mushrooms and just pass them up.
you can easily find Cubensis and Copelandia even when the Moon is not shining. They sort of glow. Often you will see white debris, garbage and whatnot that will fake you out, but when you see the actual shroom caps in the dark there really is little doubt.
