No, I was kidding about eating the red ones - eat these ones!
At first glance, Psilocybe cubensis doesn't look particularly magical.
In fact, the scientific name of this little brown-and-white mushroom roughly translates to "bald head," befitting the fungus's rather mild-mannered appearance. But those who have ingested a dose of P. cubensis say it changes the user's world.
The mushroom is one of more than 100 species that contain compounds called psilocybin and psilocin, which are psychoactive and cause hallucinations, euphoria and other trippy symptoms.
Looks right but that's a baby one, the veil (the thin white part around the bottom of the cap) is still attached to the stem. They eventually open and can be 3-4 inches across, some strains even bigger. There's a strain called P. Orissa that grows in elephant dung in India that can get almost 18 inches high with saucer sized caps lol

But I wasn't kidding about the urine! :)
That picture isn't a P.Cubensis, it's a P. Semilanceata ;)
P Cubensis have much thicker stems and bigger, broader, lighter colored caps, sort of like these lol
You are an expert!
Psilocybe cubensis - hopefully the right picture this time
