Got a massive sunburn on the back of my neck and my nose, thank God for sunglasses.   It was a huge field, two days ago I went and got an even better harvest.

Awesome! :D

Didn't know they still grew this time of year, thought it was more of an autumn thing

They grow year round where I'm from (Southeast tip of USA - Not Florida), but the main months are May-October when it's rainy season.  The humidity is crazy out here so they grow fast.  They are Psilocybe Cubensis (Gulf Coast Strain).

I was in a massive cow field...they grow off the old cow manure once it sinks into the ground and fertilizes the spores.  Some of them can grow right off the cow patties.  Those are all actives, you have to be careful which ones you pick and know how to identify them.

Anyone want me to dry some and ship for some bitcoins?  I've been trying to get a vendor account for quite some time now

Can you post some pictures of the underside, and what they look like when bruised? we have a ton of potential candidates in our pasture, they're just not the kind I grew up with so don't know for sure. super humid here too and similar locale
Don't want to be a debbie-downer here buuuuuuuuut. Be careful.  There are plenty of poisonus mushrooms that bruise blue or purple.  If you insist on doing it, you could probably pick up a book for your particular region on mushroom identification.  One bad choice and you could end up food for another fungus.

Good advice. With mushrooms you can either have the best trip ever, or the nightmare from hell.

Nice wild cubies! They have some very pretty blue for wild cubes too. I just can't get past the larvae, ick. If you get them before the caps open they are usually worm free though..

Not trying to downplay the importance of knowing EXACTLY, without any doubt, what you're picking, but... While there are a couple poisonous mushrooms that bruise blue, you most certainly will not find them growing from manure, especially middle of summer in the deep south.

If you are finding dirty blonde to dark brown mushrooms with white stems, a veil or remnants (ring on the stem), that bruise blue, and have purple/black spores, on manure (pretty much anywhere and everywhere in an established pasture) they are cubes.

If they lack the veil, and have scaly stems, but share the other characteristics they are some type of panaeolus. Some are active, some are not, but none are going to hurt you.
