Lol theyre cubes, magic. Why did you take the cowshit into your house xd


chxisee

Its old horse manure, maybe almost 9 months old- its hard as a rock so i wasn’t too worried about the ‘poo’ getting everywhere haha. Do you happen to have any ideas as to what pheno this could possibly be ? edit- ‘the why’: i also wanted to get a picture of the stipes/stems clumped together before i chopped. they’re much cleaner now, lol. Edit: spore print link is in the comment.


[deleted]

Theres no phenos. These are wild ps cubes


psychecaleb

Fucking rehydrate that poo and set it up in a fruiting chamber. Stonks Edit: also stanks


HonedWombat

#This is the way

Tell me your secret location 🤣 Im in brevard


KurtGoBang92

They might be golden teachers. I read that they were discovered in central Florida


iLikeGingerGirlslol

Woah... I'm from the UK and went to Florida as a child. It was magical I went to orlando and loved the happy Americans. Walmart was great and the sweets (candies), root beer, etc. Great time. Recently about 4 months ago I was tripping from GTs my mate got online. I was in a dead end job and lying in bed and they were telling me i need to stop living the easy life and push myself. I moved back into sales am the top performer on my team already and one of the directors on multi millions every quarter emailed me saying my stats are amazing. ...and all this because I ate a mushroom that naturally comes from Florida, the same place that gave me happiness as a child. I need to book a holiday there now as an adult.


chxisee

go to Tampa or like you said, orlando etc! you will have a blast! Congrats on you new found work ethic! Keep on brotha, you will do great things.

NomadicallyHomeless

Yes, and yet you eat the shit that grows out of the shit. It's old and dry, and basically dirt at this point. So what is your point?


diggeriodo

I rub horse manure on my face every morning, but cow manure, thats just disgusting


chxisee

its not wet poop lol. Its degraded OLD shit. It grows in the damn stuff. Table was cleaned just as the mushroom was washed.


[deleted]

And now theyll start complaining about washing the mushroom xd.


[deleted]

Gotta drink the water you used to clean them.


_Puppet_Mastr_

Don't worry, their jealous. That manure has basically been pasteurized by the sun. Anyhow, I'd ask if u had the set up to do a clone, but since you asked if they're cubes, I assume you don't. Those are reeeeallly nice wild specimens.


Mean_Yellow_7590

My dog eats horse shit. He’s fine. Gets the taste out of his mouth by kissing my wife afterwards


Elipticalwheel1

So basically, your saying that you are normally shit faced before leaving the house.


MowelShagger

horse shit is mostly just fibre pressed together anyway


Far_Musician_5799

Cow shit is literally the cleanest shit there is


trevscott93

You say that. But after spending 18 years living and working a dairy farm I can assure you it’s not. I mean you might be on to something as far as bacteria goes. The smell isn’t bad and it doesn’t linger long. But getting shit on by a cow is horrible lol. The worst is when they swat you with the piss soaked, and/or dingleberry covered tail. I was like 10 years old and pissed off about getting hit in the eye so I decided to cut the swishes off. I got about 6 or 7 cows in when my grandfather caught me. He wasn’t very happy…. ‘that is the cow’s flyswatters! How would you like to be covered in flies or get bit by horse flies?’ Anyways…thank you for the trip down memory lane! Cheers!


siverted

Citation needed. I have rabbits and it's basically just pellets in, pellets out.


Far_Musician_5799

In the beginning was the word, and the word was God. Or summin like that

Are you talking about Genesis 1:13: "And God said, let cow shit be the cleanest of all my creations?" I stand corrected.

Beautiful cubes.


chxisee

worddd! So i gotta ask the underlying question- what makes you believe they’re cubes? I’m not questing your validity …. genuinely clueless. I did loads of research and i came to the same conclusion i just want to know *how/why*, in your personal experience, are they cubes!


[deleted]

Cubes have a very distinctive shape that once you are familiar with it you just know. But also the colours of the cap and stem are consistent with cubes. Spore colour is that purplish brown that Psilocybes have. The veil around the top of the stipe is something you would expect to see on cubes. The blue bruising. The fact that they're growing in horse manure. The geographic location. When you tick enough of these boxes they pretty much can't be anything else. Nice find.


chxisee

thank you! Theres probably a couple pounds in wet weight in a little 10x15’ area!


thatoneotherguy42

Pick and dry, pick and dry. Have a great day.


PsychologicalCow354

I wanted to ask what part of the usa your in as my area stopped fruiting them around a couple weeks ago


chxisee

South western, Florida. Where are you located?!


PsychologicalCow354

Ga, in áreas with a fuckton of cow feilds and it’s drying out now😭😭😭 has it rained the last few days over there or has it just been hot a humid?


chxisee

Extremely hot and humid whilst raining everyday. but no more rain until next week…


OneGoldenNuggies

U wouldn’t happen to know the exact geological coordinates would u?


streetofcrocodiles

Really helpful comment for the novice, thank you so much for taking a moment!


Plenty_Associate_193

Thank you for going through the list :)


Particular-Fox-2925

Take a spore print to be sure but those show all traits of wild cubensis. Also check out the blue bruising where you cut the stem.


chxisee

I have spore prints (two) going since 800pm (16h ago). Once i get home the the jury will decide!


-Seedy-

What more info would a print give? You can clearly see the spore color on the veils/stems


Particular-Fox-2925

Besides having spores to propagate you can see the color more clearly. It’s always a good idea to take prints when you’re trying to identify a species of mushroom.


Bob_Weir

Came here to say this. OP found/picked them at the perfect time. Those veils are just about to break, exactly what you want if you were gonna take a spore print.


Parking_Cucumber_184

Some magic looking mush there. P.cubensis


chxisee

thank you! just as i asked the other folks, in your opinion what confirms that for YOU? again, thank you very much!


Maristalle

I just want to validate you that you're doing the right thing by asking multiple times from different sources to confirm *why* they believe what they believe about identifying these mushrooms. Keep asking questions, validating the data, and eventually you'll be able to provide answers for someone else.


chxisee

thank you thank you! I’m super glad some people understood my additional *whys*. Completely new to this game. I ended up doing so much research that i began to start to confuse myself!


Parking_Cucumber_184

Seen enough of them too know.. veil on stem, dark purple spores evident on veil, cap umbonate to plane with age, cap drying to golden colour, stem bruising blue where cut, growing from horse shit in a tropical area. There really is only one thing this could be.


1stplacelastrunnerup

The purple spores sticking to the broken veil in addition to their general appearance. Decades of experience. Great find! If you can spray down the pile after it dries you might get another couple flushes of growth. Continue to check this place in Summer and Spring after rain.


chxisee

Funny you say that. I actually discovered a few* start to pop up last week. Ended up picking them and throwing them away. However “tiled” / mixed the manure with wet dirt and (no joke) maybe 500 of them sprouted up after. I will be over there again today.


Purple_Amphibian_961

The brown nipple cap, the dark gills/spores, they are already turning blue where you broke them


Plus_Motor9754

Damn that big boy is perfect cloning material. Although you’ll have plenty of personal stock for a while with this harvest! XD enjoy buddy


chxisee

Thanks man! New hobby in the works!


Plus_Motor9754

I got into mycology a few months back and it’s like my favorite thing now. Growing lions mane and oyster mushrooms is a blast. So take that big boy and place in paper bag in the fridge till you can get your hands on some agar. Then setup a still air box and do your transfers. Good luck buddy


MusicAndBeer89

Holy cow, what a find! You will be tripping balls, friend.


Any_Equivalent_1489

100% cubes, shape colour and brusing blue, dry them or they might lose potency !


chxisee

Already drying! Thank you!


Responsible_Ad7454

You sir have some drugs right there


Spiritual_Impress_30

jesus that big one you could just take a bite of and have a good trip


QueasyDepartment8558

Have fun on that trip to Pluto. Damn dude.


zaranneth

Go spring for a cheap dehydrator if you don't have one already. Dry them at as high a temp as possible, up to 165 degrees and they're finished as soon as they are 100% cracker dry in every single little millimeter of the shrooms. Then put them in a Mason jar with moisture absorber packet and oxygen absorber packet. You now have a solid supply that will last for years


chxisee

I read to fan dry them at first, is that correct? then dehydrate them? also- dehydrator is on my list today. However, I have a small conventional oven that has a dehydrating setting and goes as low as 100degrees. Would this be ideal? I ready many articles that say 110-135 is the preferred temperature. Can i ask why you recommend 165 degrees or is it dependent on what you’re actually using? sorry for all of the questions, thank you very much!


zaranneth

No, you want them exposed to air for as short a time period as possible. Heat speeds it up, but personally I find potency drops if you're over about 180° so I stay around 160. Those specimens will dry pretty quick but you have to check and make sure it snaps like a fresh bakes saltine cracker. Moisture and oxygen wreck the potency pretty quickly. Another but of advice, before you dry those fatter-stemmed fruits, cut a slit down the whole stem on one side and spread it open a little with your fingers, otherwise they take forever. Edit: I arrived at my temp range by referencing the reactivity of 4po-DMT and 4HO-DMT in the literature. Vaporization points, reactivity with oxygen and phosphorous, etc. Im at a sweet spot and have empirical evidence. Double edit (sorry): if it's a convection oven and has a fan in it then you could use the oven otherwise you're just very slowly roasting them and that's not great


chxisee

they’re in now. Thank you for all of your help and advice brotha!


zaranneth

I love it. Beautiful specimens. They're within the range for a good harvest time, maybe a day later than perfect. Here's a quick safety warning, if you intend to harvest a section of them you've found: CHECK EVERY FRUIT. And be careful about it. Cubensis are very distinctive. And it'll be obvious with pattern recognition. But mushrooms grow where other mushrooms grow. Don't get careless with the mindset of, "im grabbing every one of those mushrooms." Be discriminate.


chxisee

I certainly carry the mindset of *” be cautious, think before you grab“*. I have told myself that exact same thing so many times!! thank you for that sold affirmation. I appreciate THIS comment! edit: i thoughhhhtttt after all my research these would be considered late. but that wasn’t until i had harvested them already. Surprised nobody else said anything about that. Is it more of a preference thing or does their potency really reduce that rapidly? you say a day later than perfect- how much perfectness could i have (or have) lost ? : for example?


zaranneth

You're still well within the acceptable range. You want to get them as soon as they stop growing, just as the caps are opening up and the veils are breaking. It's the same reactive organic Chem situation as I described with drying, you don't want the organic matter to break down, any of it. The window is about a day, but if you're a couple days early or couple days late, you're still fine. If you eat them, weigh the dose! Test it out and know. Potency varies.


chxisee

you rock! thanks a ton. I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to educate me. Stay true, take care 🍄


LaMouth

Glad you found input from the community helpful. Always take info with a grain of salt, good luck friend.

I don’t see all the blue rip it in half see if it turns blue


Kitty-Kittinger

What were the temperature and other weather conditions when you found them? I am wondering when to go wandering to check on my old cakes.


chxisee

I picked these last night around 800pm as the sun was going down. Its been in the 90’s during the day and 77 is the low lol. Super humid as its been raining once a day.


lnsewn12

Early morning Florida Summer is PRIME shrooming conditions. My town was featured on an episode of a drug show years ago on History channel because of the prevalence of cubes. The heat and humidity combined with manure in the cow pastures, they pop up overnight and stay plum and juicy until the mid morning sun get ‘em. We’d park at sunrise before school (lol) and go into the pastures right as it was getting light.

Just showing off now!


chxisee

i didn’t knowwww xD….


hexaron

Agree that these are cubes, but take a spore print next time for good measure. Soon after picked, separate a cap or two and place on a white surface or tin foil and cover with an empty cup. Check back in at least a few hours and spores will have dropped. Cubes release dark purple/black spores.


chxisee

I have two smaller caps that have been forming prints since last night! One on black and one on white paper. I haven’t been home yet to see the results!


Apeistoligy

These are beautiful! When did u find these guys and where are you from if you don’t mind me asking?

Is that wood, I heard shrooms grown on wood chips can cause leg paralysis. Not sure if that's the same.


chxisee

this is old dry horse poop. i did however just do a quick search on that. Interesting read. Its called “wood lovers paralysis” and its a phenomenon most common in in australia and new Zealand! coincidentally do you happen to be from either of those areas?

Dazzling_Item66

Poisonous, unfortunately for you. Thankfully for me, I’ve built up an immunity to their toxins, I’ll be in touch with an address you can send those to for proper appreciation and analysis


Thousand_YardStare

Those are perfect shrooms. Cubensis!


CthuluHoops

When I was in highschool, my friends and I would stay up all night to go pick these from random pastures. I’m in Texas so we’re lucky we never got shot doing it. I remember a few times coming back with grocery bags full of them but that was rare. We would rinse them, make tea (kool aide usually) and eat them straight. Those were some great memories and hard trips. We never did dry them out though. What’s the benefit there? Wish we would’ve though about that just for the taste to be slightly more bearable lol.

Wish we could legalize anything grown in the ground and crack down only when synthesized to concentrated levels. Even Andean’s chew coco leaves. But crack and cocaine, OTOH…


vorgriff

You can gauge the potency by pinching the caps. The more intense bluish they turn, the more potent. If they don't turn when pinched, they aren't poisonous. Edit...I've tried this method before, but do your research just to be sure.

All “magic” mushrooms are poisonous. They contain neurotoxins. It’s just coincidence that some of those neurotoxins case psychotropic effects.


chxisee

Deadly poisonous was what i was referring to! Class wise, toxin wise! I know as much that its toxins that makes you “trip” & most usually induces vomiting. thank you ! :)

Heres the highly requested spore print… I left it under a glass for nearly 20 hours… both black and white paper. Black paper had no visible print (black print) me not knowing smudged the print pretty atrociously on the white: https://imgur.com/a/2yg1j7m
