Large, fleshy, yellowish cap and a persistent ring on stalk; bruising blue; on cow manure.
The Psilocybe Cubensis has a darker brownish spot in the dead center of the top of the cap and this "stain" turns lighter going out towards the edges, the stems are fleshy, which means they are not hollow or flimsy, and if broken they will turn blue on the edges in a minute or two. The caps if not dried, have a sticky film on them and they smell kindof sweet. The veil if broken away from the underside forms a "skirt" around the stem which gets stained purple by the falling spores. The gills are grey if fresh, purple if the veil has been open for some time. Psilocybin and Psilocin are the two psychoactive ingredients contained in psilocybe mushrooms.
All psilocybin is immediately turned into psilocin by the body upon ingestion. Psilocin Goes into your brain and mixes with the natural chemicals (serotonin) in your brain (which are almost identical chemically to psilocin) that are responsible for plugging into your sensory receptors, and thus distorts your perception.
The chemical reaction needed to convert psilocybin to psilocin may cause abdominal discomfort, and high blood pressure.
The intestinal problems can be averted somewhat by taking Zantac or something like that prior to eating shrooms.
Also depending upon the way you prepare the shrooms it can effect the severity.

The "trip" lasts anywhere from 4-6 hours depending on dose, and potency of the shrooms.

Usually the user will experience: Visual Distortions, Time Distortions, Transparency or a switching of the senses (hearing colors),
sounds will be better, colors brighter, and inanimate objects tend to come alive (such as trees), rapidly changing thoughts, alacrity and clarity, sometimes spiritual awakenings. The higher the dose the more severe the effects.

There are no permanent medically damaging side effects from using psilocybe mushrooms. However, it is advised that those with severe mental problems, or in a depressed state of mind, or who are not mature enough to know what is happening to them, avoid using this substance for any purpose.
