I found some mushrooms growing in amongst my plants so I just checked on line and I'm pretty sure they're magical.
 They apparently grow all around here in the cow patures but I've never actually seen any before. This isn't my pic but that's what I have growing in my garden. This picture was taken from a doper website and closely matches what is growing in my garden.

DANGER, some mushrooms will fuck your liver up so bad you will need a transplant or be dead pretty quickly.

Those look like they might be Conocybes (not necessarily magical).
Were they growing in grass or cow shit? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conocybe en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conocybe_lactea |

Look, I'm not going to eat them! They showed up about 30 years too late for that. Right now I'm having a nice cold Miller Lite, takin' the slow road to liver failure.

"Death's Head" mushrooms (toxins destroy the liver in a few hours) killed an entire Laotian (?) family in Florida about a decade or so ago. Be careful. Very, very careful. |

I’ll tag this for later. I know someone who is a bit of an expert in all kinds of mushrooms. I’ll probably see him tonight and I'll ask him if he has any clue what they are.
ETA: My friend called them “little brown mushrooms.” He said the ones in the picture sure look like psychedelic mushrooms. The problem is that there are hundreds of varieties of little brown mushrooms that look almost the same and some of them are deadly. |

In '89, when I lived in Gainesville, my roomies used to supplement their incomes by picking, drying and selling 'shrooms.  Cow pastures where everywhere. Rye is a main mixture in cowfeed which in turn allows the fungus to produce the psylocsybin (sp.) strain of mushroom. Trippy shit! When the 'shrooms get bigger, the caps turn golden brown. The stems will bluen after they're picked. Once dried they can be eaten in any number of ways. My roomie's overwhelmingly preferred Kool-Aid.  HS1 |

That's the way to do it. Well, not the Miller Lite. If you're going to kill your liver, at least kill it with something good. |

Under some mulch. There are cow pastures on three sides of this area. That exact picture is on the wiki page with this caption:
Did you guys not read what I wrote above? I took that picture off a doper website about magic mushrooms!!!

I have seen those growing before as a kid. A whole patch. I think I just started kicking them to watch them fly.

Those are what professional mycologists refer to as LBMs or Little Brown Mushrooms.
There are hundreds of species that look similar enough that they cannot be identified by sight alone. Some are dangerous, most are just inedible. |

It's an interesting subject. I've identified and eaten wild (non-hallucinogenic) mushrooms many times. A rule of thumb is never to rely on any single source of information. I have a couple of field guides that I use, and am still alive. Some kinds, like puffballs and chanterelles, are very easy to identify. You have to cut puffballs in half to make sure they aren't just the budding stage of something bad like an Amanita. Chanterelles have only one inedible species that looks similar, and that glows under a black light. You often need to look at the spores under a microscope to make positive IDs. See www.mushroomexpert.com for the basics. |

Those are fairly common in Southern California. They grow well in suburban lawns. Mighty disgusting. |

I shared a house in the early 70's with some experts in the drug culture. Coincidentally, Pooby, we were all skydivers...
As soon as you pluck them from the ground, break the stem in half and squeeze. If the core turns purple, you've got some good magic ones. Clean them well, then boil in water. Take the water and use it to make sun tea. Drink sparingly and don't even think about operating machinery or anything that can hurt you. By the way, I NEVER partook in the consumption of said tea and will deny it till I die. You didn't see it and can't prove anything |
