I recently stumbled upon a very beautiful wavy cap mushroom (Psilocybe cyanescens). I knew that it was hallucinogenic and so its consumption is illegal. That’s why I want to teach you how to recognize (most) hallucinogenic mushrooms. This way you can keep away from them and avoid trouble.
Sometimes it’s hard to know if a mushroom is edible or not, but it is very easy to know if a mushroom contains hallucinogenic compounds (and thus making it a magic mushroom).
- Squeeze the stem with your finger. If it is a hallucinogenic mushroom, blue bruising should occur.
- Cut of the stem and make a spore print. The color of the print should be dark blue or dark purple.
If these two characteristics occur on the same mushroom you can be 98% sure that the mushroom is a magic mushroom.
As mycologist Paul Stamets stated: This test gives you 98% certainty that the mushroom is hallucinogenic. The remaining 2% isn’t poisonous, so no harm there.
Notice that I said “most hallucinogenic mushrooms”. There are still some mushroom species undiscovered and our mycological knowledge is still expanding. Always ask for advise from a professional mycologist before consuming any unknown mushroom. I also advise you to buy a good book on the matter, for example: Mushrooms Demystified by David Arora.
Please also mind that I do not encourage the consumption of hallucinogenic mushrooms or other drugs. This article is simply meant to identify hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Disclaimer: This webpage has only one purpose; to help you avoid hallucinogenic mushrooms. We do not condone usage, possession, trade or picking of these mushrooms. It is illegal and you should not do it! You are responsible for your own actions.

I have a pic and am in florida wondering where to watch out for the shrooms that r not in cow dung i am @the lake wright near bristol
i live in Louisville,Kentucky close to the Ohio river. There are wooded areas behind my house . What species or “magic mushrooms” will I Come across that need to be avoided? Any specifics to be on the lookout for ? Time/conditions?
Ask a local mycologist, or buy a good field guide. I can’t possible know where and when every mushroom species grows…
i also live in louisville…and i have a farm and i know that i have a lot of mushrooms i just dont know how to identify them yet
I advise this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Mushrooms-Demystified-David-Arora/dp/0898151694
Do they grow all year long? Or what is the best time of year to stay away for them?
It depends on what species you want to avoid. You’ll find different psychoactive mushroom species all year long, depending on where you live.
Can you recomend any specific places(preferably with maps) to avoid magic mushroom?
Cheers.
It’s impossible to pinpoint all magic mushroom spots on a world map. Simply because they grow almost everywhere. Every grass field or lawn will most likely contain magic mushrooms at some point in the year. Follow the steps described on this page and buy yourself a good field guide. You’ll avoid them like no other
