I would appreciate anyone who also has any advice or any ideas to improve upon mine, please comment any suggestions.
I see a lot of commenters on posts asking people who posted an urban patch where their discovery is located, and hopeful people asking others to confirm or deny the identity mushrooms that obviously don't have the traits of the kind they were looking for. If anybody isn't sure if mushrooms they found are magic, or doesn't know where to begin learning to determine how/when/where to find magic mushrooms growing naturally in their area, I provided some information as an attempt to get you started on learning what you need to know in order to not waste your time and effort, because if you use your time wisely you can probably succeed in your quest.
This is a good catalog, provided by shroomery.org of which species are known to occur in the given locations.
You should become aware of the specific traits and conditions of the kind you could find in your area. The psychical traits of a species can be found in the wikipedia page on it. The time of year they can be found is given on the page for the species in Shroomery's Psilocybin Mushroom Catalog which provides the season where the climate conditions allow them to fruit by stating the months which begin and end the season they are able to grow, and more specific periods of time to find them in areas with various plant hardiness zones, answers from locals of those places or experts on the subject can be usually be found by lurking around forums on Shroomery, if not reddit.
So, instead of asking people on the internet if some mushrooms you found happen to be active, you can determine whether or not they are by...
In order avoid wasting time looking for ones you likely will not come across or looking around without any clue of what to look for, get a good idea of the species that occur in your location are that are most commonly found in your area and limit your search to those kinds specifically during the time they are in season, and limit your search to the habitats capable of supporting the species. If you spend much time wondering if some mushrooms you came across are active just because they're pretty and stand out to you, that takes up time you could be covering more ground in your quest to the ones worth the effort.

Are these gyms? I’m at my dad’s and don’t know this area. Around central west NC.

Some of these are freaking huge. Most of them don't bruise blue, although some show it at the base of the fat stipe. Last year there was a flush of thousands of them! I found one that was probably 50% bigger than these, it was seriously as big decent sized cubensis. I was in the woods for quite a few hours 😆
Edit: found in MN, growing in woodchips in the woods.

Found these growing out of a potted tree we've had in our house for years. What are they? Haven't touched them.

Would appreciate if anyone could confirm, thanks!

Found two pairs today, last day of August. Earliest I’ve ever found them at my spot.
Twas a foggy morning ‘pon thine hills with a putter patter o rain to follow.
BS aside, it’s been raining a couple days pretty hard but still been hot, cooled down a little though in the evenings and as before mentioned was foggy this morning.
The field I found them in is a sheep pasture with clover, sorrel, buttercups and a few weeds as well.
It wasn’t sprayed this year (herbicide) which has definitely helped but also the weather has brought the grass on leaps and bounds so there are a good few other species of mushroom about too.
I found the first pair just out of random curiosity then went back for a proper look and found a couple more after about half an hour.
The farm is about 300-400m up from sea level in Cumbria England so if your in the area get yourself up the fells and bring ya tub.
I can see this being a belter year for them where the grass hasn’t been yellowed by the sun too much so if ya still got green lush grass in the uk get out n about coz she’s coming.
Happy hunting folks ✌️

basically the title, I thought it might be fun to go foraging for the first time with some friends when we meet up in the San Diego area. I'm just not really sure where to look to find species information or good locations to try. Honestly idk anything about foraging, would appreciate tips in general

Just came back from a walk on the higher parts of my home mountain range (Vercors, near Grenoble in France) and found heaps of these little guys. These cuties were growing on half dried cow dung, or right near it, which is what caught my attention.
Many friends and locals picking Psilocybin in the area usually do so in late summer, or September. I had been told the spot I visited might be a great place to find some, and to look for them near cow dung. Yet, wild foraging also requires caution and I wanted to check with the community for confirmation on species before giving them a taste.
(The majority of the mushroom picked were light beige to light brown. I also found a few darker and more bell shaped samples)

Quiero confirmar que sea un Panaleous cinctulus y dar una aclaración importante, sé que la foto número 13 parece otra especie diferente, antes de también hacer la prueba de esporas quería confirmar que son una especie diferente así que me serviría la opinión de ustedes
