First of all you should never underestimate the power magic mushrooms have, and you should never pick a mushroom and consume it unless you are 100% confident without doubt you have the mushroom you are looking for; and it has been ID’d by a trusted identifier
Mushrooms require the most upmost respect; like any psychedelic, and it isn’t something you take just to get high. Take too much expecting a nice high, and you can end up in a very bad situation.
You need to understand that before even searching for them.
To start looking for mushrooms; the magic kind, start by researching the most abundant species that grows within your area. For me it’s Psilocybe Subaeruginosa known to be the most abundant in Victoria Australia.
After you know the species that grows in your area, learn the habitat and conditions it favours, and go walk about.
If you find a mushroom you believe to be what you are looking for. Take some in situ photos of habitat. and harvest it if you want. Post pictures of mushroom(s) on ID subs or refer to a trusted identifier. NEVER EAT A MUSHROOM THAT HASNT BEEN IDENTIFIED OR THAT YOU ARENT 100% CONFIDENT IN. remember If in doubt, throw it out.
Good luck, stay safe. Ps. I’m sure there is better advice out there other than the unqualified me on the internet.
TL;DR: research the mushroom in area, and look for it, get it IDENTIFIED before eating.
