Not all liberty caps bruise, actually very few do. But that doesn't mean they ain't potent. There is still a good amount of psilocybin in those mushrooms, its just that psilocybin doesn't bruise/stain blue. So a cubensis that doesn't bruise much or at all, could still be very potent with high levels of psilocybin.

This is psilocine excaping.

Mj. It is a small indication of identification. However, there are deadly mushrooms which are blue naturally that can kill you such as Boletus cyanescens and some blue staining Mycena's from Indonesia..

Furthermore, not every psilocybian containing mushroom will bruise ble even thoug it has psilocybin in them.. The liverty caps are a good example. with the best of all highs next to the effects of Psilocybe mexicana heim.
