We're you you think they get the mushrooms that people buy in cans at the grocery store LoL
Shrooms from cow pastures

One of the local soil / mulch / stone supply stores near me stocks a mushroom compost. I believe it's just spent substrate from a commercial mushroom farm. Used to mix it into my tomato beds and would get great results.

I heard a poem before my first time picking. I wish I remembered it. I the two lines I remember go: if it bruises blue, you know it’s true. Flick before you pick. Florida gifted me grocery bags, never found more than a few zips worth in the Carolinas. Good times, great friends and a fair amount of scares picking, it makes it more rewarding when you eat em.
Ps. Find a big corporate farm, ma and pa places are more likely to have someone there when you are trying to enjoy nature’s bounty.

Those are fungi specializing in obtaining nutrients from rotting wood. Different species. Facets on a diamond. The light shining through is still sparkling.

True. Although I think climate plays a factor here. Being in one of the driest states in the union makes a difference in a lot of things environmentally.

Yeah, but in the South the most commonly found psychoactive mushroom are the P. Cubensis that I posted pictures of on page 1.
They generally make up the bulk of psychoactive mushrooms that people sell or grow at home as well: Penis Envy, Golden Teacher, B+ are all forms of P. Cubensis.
The mycelium in Cubensis requires cow dung to propogate in the wild to the best of my knowledge. You can recreate the conditions in a home grow using non-dung materials, but you're essentially just attempting to mimic nature without the cows.
Substrate is one of the key factors in mushroom identification. You're never going to find these specific types of mushrooms growing in a dry environment on any form of substrate.

Yep, if your lucky they will fire a warning shot. Again, huge pastures with no residences on them are always the best bet.

Come on, that was always half the fun. Wandering around a pasture in the middle of the night stopping every five minutes because you heard a cow move and thought it was a farmer.

I didn't read every single post, but. . . .
Manure from grain fed cattle or horses will grow magic mushrooms. The pictures above are good one. But how I always thought they looked was like a (white) women's breast. To the outside they are creamy white, getting darker toward the middle (nipple). Ones that have not opened will have a blueish band. When you find a productive cow paddy, take it with you so you don't have to brave the pasture in the future. Tall grass with plenty of rain is where they do best.
Just a word of caution. When I came home from the navy, I was really poor. The first summer before I had grown a crop of weed, I did a lot of mushrooms. I fucked up my kidney ( at about age 23) and have had to deal with it these last 37 years. Had to stop drinking iced tea instantly, and stopped beer and sodas about 26-27 years ago. Now it hurts to do edibles or to smoke too much.

It's not all dry. Just have to find that moisture

I have not. It’s wonderful that mushrooms are ubiquitous globally regardless of conditions. Those resemble Panaeolus cyanescens which grew wild here in Wash DC area for years but mysteriously failed to grow in 2019 and 2020. Mushroom covid maybe.
I find it laughably ironic that to grow mushrooms at home you must create a sterile environment, and in nature they grow in shit. I picked cubensis as a teenager from Brahma fields in Panama. We picked only the largest caps, leaving the stems in the wet poo, and leaving many more behind than we took. A typical 10 minute walk in the pasture delivered 10 pounds of fresh caps. Back in town, a batch of tea and chase it with cold cokes. That’s a great Saturday

apparently these can offer the same effects if eaten before they get too old. Found at the base of birch trees all over in UK.

It's strange enough that the shit is sterile to the mindset of spores. Only left out of the body does it become touched by other lifeforms. The design is a loop, or a kind of donut shape where the skin revolves through the loop and around the outside edge. And the beauty of fungi and bacteria is that they are the agents of the regenerative powers of the earth. They close the loop, keeping the cycle unbroken. "Uuuuuhhhhhhhmmmmm"....the stoner chant when you forget where you were going because there was some flashing lights and shit and you got distracted and sucked back into the flow.

I’m pretty sure that is a Amanita Muscaria. I have heard that the effects are quite different from those of psilocybin.
