It has been raining this week almost daily. I have seen at least 4 different types of wild mushrooms growing on the side of the road and outside of people's apartments. The biggest one I have seen was all white and roundish like flying saucers, the smallest I have seen looked like its head is drooped down (golden teacher?). Not sure if these are psilocybin. If they were, would this be edible even though they are wild-grown? Maybe the people living in these apartments dumped a spore to let it grow. I have been outside these apartments and there seem to be marijuana smokers living there because of the smell thus it could be the result of why these mushrooms are growing outside their apartments (they had something to do with it, they planted it?), but not to make it obvious as it can pass off as just "wild" or "poisonous" mushrooms.
 
if they where psilocybes you could eat them wild or cultivated, but nobody is gonna help you ID them on here.
 
dunno man, better spore print it and research them before u eat anything. people think u can jus puke up a shroom once u eat it, but if its a deathcap or something, ur fuckd the moment it hits ur stomch.

buy a cheap fieldguide mushroom book at local bookstore or something.
 
Yeah, watch out for any mushrooms growing in someone's yard.

I live where the psilocybes are abundant, but they grow in cow pastures, NOT in yards, and you cannot simply throw spores in your yard and expect psychedelic mushrooms to grow, there has to be the perfect setting for them.

Theres several purple ringer "look alike" mushrooms growing in my yard right now, but am I going to go outside, pick them and eat them? Hell no, because I know for a fact they're common lawn shrooms and eating them could be potentially poisonous.


But it does let me know that that it's season, and there should be some nice fresh ones in the rural city a few miles east of here.
 
Psilocybin Mushrooms require a sterile environment and they are also a schedule 1 drug. For these reasons, I doubt your neighbors set out spore prints in plain sight. In the wild, they generally require the nutrients in cow or horse feces. While disgusting, this is still fact. Please don't eat them, as they are likely poisonous.
 
yeah dude like stated above do a little research- chances are if its in someones yard its not the right ones, unless their backyard is a cow pasture :)

they grow for a better part of the yr out here where i am..but its always raining, hot, and humid here so thats got a lot to do with it..

my favorites are the ones that grow out of wood(cyanesis-sp?) my sis lives in oregon and we go pick em out there whenever i go visit..man those little guys are potent!
 
The only questions in your OP constitute mushroom hunting or ID questions and we do not allow them, we cannot answer them adequately from over the internet so out of HR we will not go into it and just advise you to not eat them. If you want to eat mushrooms figure out how to cultivate them indoors yourself or make a serious commitment to learn biological/mycological determinism and get loads of practice and get a microscope to check the spores (you can tell things from the looks of them) etc before you ever attempt eating any.
Otherwise it's just a random game of roulette if you get sick, weak effects, strong effects or seriously fucked up intoxicated and wrecked beyond believe. Be smart.

And mushroom season is typically in autumn (the month would depend on the hemisphere I guess), when the humidity is ideal in many regions. But tropical mushrooms have a different schedule from the wood-eaters and the dung-eaters. These latter ones are both usually smaller with modest stemps and pointy caps. Tropical Cubensis types are larger with somewhat flatter or before that rounder as far as caps go, and usually have less of a nipple.

This distinction I am making has nothing to do with the fact that there are countless other types of mushrooms, some of which look very similar to psychedelic mushrooms and others not at all.

Seek out the shroomery if you are so intrigued. :) They have different policies.
