The information about any mushroom growing directly on cow pattie being safe to eat is not true. If your going to pick mushrooms id advise you read up a hell of alot on them and also get some friends who know what they are doing. Picking mushrooms can be a very dangerous thing to do if you have no prior knowledge and you will most likely pick the wrong ones and die.
Definitely don't just start eating mushrooms because they grow on cow shit. You can die, or get so sick that you wish you did (and another little tip - most of the time, when you get symptoms of mushroom poisoning, it's too late to do anything about it.) You need to get a good field guide and learn to ID every mushroom that might grow in your area. It may sound ridiculous, since you're only looking for a few types, but it might be the difference in eating a psychoactive mushroom and a poisonous one.
when is the best time to go looking for them and what type of shroom should i be looking for on the cow shit
Successfully picking magic mushrooms requires more research than just asking a question on Hip Forums. First, do some research and determine what kind of magic shrroms grow in your area. Make sure it is the right time of year for them. Then go here: http://www.magic-mushrooms.net/MMPICKINGGUIDE.HTML That's a start anyway.
I just told you: we don't know. You have to find out what grows around you. You're not gonna get an easier answer. Don't go picking mushrooms. You're likely to kill yourself.
nah man dont pick the mushroom you have to eat the shit also, the mushrooms wont work unless you eat the pattie too,.
Buy a field guide on mushrooms from your local bookstore. Analyze and classify the mushrooms you find. Do not eat anything you are unsure. The guys over at the shroomery will be able to answer any questions you may have pertaining to the mushrooms you pick.
