Summary: comments…

I agree with CC, these comments are useful and asking for hookups is rude.

Also if these were found near but not on cow dung then rain probably washed some of the dung into the soil nearby, I have seen this happen with many dung loving mushrooms.

I think that asking for psilocybin mushrooms on this site when your obvious intent is to ingest them is completely out of line.

Summary: Sara Anne…

eating psilocybin mushrooms has just as much to do with mycology as everything else involved, im not saying that I eat them, just saying maybe do some more research on the subject.

there is tons of history involving eating mushrooms from this genus and all of it is important to mycology, maybe start with Maria sabina and R. Gordon wasson.
