NW Washington, field mushrooms... ID Please!
    #8854953 -

Found some shrooms like this specimen growing in an empty field about a 1/2 mile from my house. It has attached, dark brown gills, a thin, long white stem, and a light tip, dark brown band around most of the cap, and lighter frayed edges around the brim of the cap. The cap has a fibrous, grass-like texture.



Couldnt get any spores off it, and there was no bruising after picking. The smell is a little stinky, but not much.

I suspect it might be a sub, or one of its cousins, but I'm not absolutely sure, and I don't wanna take that chance. If someone could please ID this mushroom, Id appreciate it!

I'm trying to find something local to have a trip on, and I wanna pick my own stuff if possible. Dont wanna POISON myself though, yknow? :P

If someone could please respond quickly, or send me a pm with any information, I would greatly appreciate it!

Looks like something coprinoid, which explains the fringing on the margins of the cap. In any case, you don't have anything active there for sure. Are you aware of what species to look for in your area or are you just guessing? In that case, chances of success are minimal.

In this case, I just picked some stuff I found growing outside, and began looking around to ID them on the offchance they were hallucinogenic. I know a few species of psilocybes grow in Washington, so I started checking around to see if I'd found anything active, even something currently immature. I'll continue hunting, and see if I find anything active growing deeper in the woods.It certainly rains here often enough. Thanks for the help! :P

IMHO, libs would be your best bet in Washington, which means it's a good idea to start checking pastures. In the woods, you may be able to find some azures, cyans or baeos, but libs are usually easier to find (especially in great numbers). Gyms are a possibility too, but harder to ID and due to general low potency not the preferred way to go.

:yoda: and this is why you fail :yoda:

the problem with taking that approach is that the odds are overwhelmingly against you. You should identify what you want to find, figure out where and when they grow, then go where they are likely to be and look down. Your luck may be shitty, but the odds are skewed much more in your favor with this method.

Not trying to be a dick, just pointing out what most inexperienced hunters don't find to be obvious.

I do think you should try to figure out what other mushrooms are though. There's no such thing as useless knowledge.

If you want to find psilocybin in species that are not yet known to be psychoactive, you should do chemical tests. That way you won't get sick and die all the time.

Probably a Psathyrella.  Wait a month or 2 and Psilocybe cyanescens will be everywhere in wood chips.

Thanks guys! No, I'm not offended, Pin, it makes sense. I've been doing research on different hallucinogens (but not mushrooms specifically) for a while, and I don't know a lot of people who use them, access to such things isn't easy to come by. So when I stumbled across the mushrooms while out walking, I thought I'd bring them back and see if they were actives or not. Since I joined here (and did some image searching on google and erowid, and other spots), I know muuuch better what to look for, and where to look. And yeah, I've been learning a lot more about mushrooms in general since I began hunting... even if I don't find any 'cybes for a few weeks/ months, at least I may find something tasty to snack on. :P
So thanks for your input guys! I'm going to continue my sojourns across the county, and explore the different horse and cow fields around here, and see what I dig up. Much rather take some organic hallucinogens than something cooked up in a lab by someone I don't know. xD
