Judging from the comments from the Stupid 4 I suppose it is safe to see who is buying magic mushrooms and why they would be being advertised on this site so heavily. Flunky is obviously on cloud 9 and hasn't come back to earth since he was employed anan "electronics engineer" who claims that electric cars don't burn.

It’s this time of year get self conscious university students looking for Magic Mushrooms in the Parks at least the old hunting grounds type of
parks!
Need a lot of them to have any effect but I guess they will learn! It’s not illegal in uk to pick and consume them (or at least was) but is to
distribute and dry them at which point they jump in strength and to quite a high illegal category!
Certainly with the home picked variety the main danger is picking the wrong mushrooms..

California is considering making "plant derived" psychedelics legal
for personal use:

Yes, that's a potential problem, but experience, identification web
sites, samples, and books on the topic help prevent fatal mistakes.
Despite that, we usually manage to kill off at least one person every
hear in the county. I don't recall anyone dying due to misidentifying psilocybe mushrooms.
Usually, it's where the poisonous and non-poisonous variety look very similar.
<https://www.google.com/search?q=poisonous+mushroom+look-alikes>
There are some of similar species, but all are non-poisonous. I have
no idea what the situation is in the UK.
Locally, psilocybe semilanceata mushrooms grow mostly near horse and
cow droppings and rotting grass: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybe_semilanceata>
It's possible to grow them from spores, but not easy because the environmental conditions need to be perfect.
When I owned a rental, one group of students decided to help finance
the rent by growing psilocybe mushrooms in the garage. They bought
steel shelves, growing racks, horse manure and spores. When the crop arrived, they washed, dried, and ground the mushrooms into a powder
that looked much like black and white finely ground paper.
When I discovered what they were doing, I found myself at risk of
getting arrested as an accessory should they get caught selling the
stuff. So, I asked them to cease growing or find another rental. They
then tried to bribe me by giving me some of their dried mushroom crop.
The instructions were to add "a little" to an omelet. I ate too much.
The effect was that everything seemed funny to me. I was laughing
almost continuously for 2 or 3 days. Eventually, I recovered only to discover that I had sprained my jaw muscles from laughing so much. I couldn't open my mouth. I ate and drank through a straw. Eventually,
I was advised that gargling with warm salt water would loosen the
muscles. When the tenants finally found somewhere else to live, they
left me with a dead car full of broken beer bottles, a garage that
smelled from decaying mushrooms and considerable damage to the house.
It took me 3 months to clean up the mess.
If you read a mushroom identification book, many of the mushrooms are
listed as "edible". Edible does NOT mean that the mushrooms will
taste good. It means that the mushroom will not kill you or produce undesirable side effects. I've tried some of the mushrooms listed as "edible". They didn't kill me and there were no side effects.
However, they tasted either awful to boringly bland.
Yup never tried the dried stuff but advice was it was well powerful stuff >unlike the picked stuff. Which broadly like drink ie can get a effect >relatively easily but you’d have to work at it to get a large effect and

If you read a mushroom identification book, many of the mushrooms areSure but again it’s effort vs benefits and so on.

This might be of interest. It's from the UK perspective:
"Things to know before trying magic mushrooms for the first time" <https://www.alchimiaweb.com/blogen/magic-mushrooms-first-time/>
Except for the feeling of "well being" after I stopped laughing, I
don't recall any of the effects mentioned in the article. For me, it
was a 2 or 3 day carnival ride and circus. No sign of digestive
distress. I obviously overdosed. According to the above article 1 or
2 grams is a typical dose: <https://www.alchimiaweb.com/blogen/magic-mushrooms-first-time/#HowmanymagicmushroomsshouldItake>
My guess(tm) is I ate about 20 grams (or more). Based on personal experience, I can testify that this dose was not a good idea.

In California, mushroom hunting season typically starts with the first
rains, which is usually in November. With global warming, the season
moves around. In general, a light rain and warm weather do the trick.
In the past, I would spend some time hunting for mushrooms in the
hills near my house. The trick is to get to the mushrooms before the
banana slugs eat them.
<https://ffsc.us>
The popular in person "fungus fair" will again be held via Zoom. Maybe
next year.
Some of the locals have tried toxin test kits and reported good
results:

<https://amatoxtest.com/buy-now-2/> <https://www.kqed.org/science/1957996/new-test-strips-detect-harmful-toxin-in-some-common-california-mushrooms>
I haven't tried them, mostly because of the high price ($25/test). I
usually go mushroom hunting in a group, which usually includes a few
people with plenty of experience. The rule of thumb is to not eat
anything that cannot be positively identified or which one of the
experienced hunters considers problematic. Confirming the
identification is a good idea. I'm still alive, so the group method
works. Offhand, I suspect most problems come from solo hunters, those
who rely solely on photos, and 2nd hand sources.
Nobody died, but this is not a good thing:
"Wild 'death cap' mushroom seriously sickens 14 in California" <https://medicalxpress.com/news/2017-06-wild-death-cap-mushroom-sickens.html>
Eating mushrooms of unknown origin can also be a problem. They're
difficult to identify after they are picked: <https://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-11-calif-deaths-mushrooms.html>
I use this photo guide for identifying US west coast mushrooms.
There's probably something similar for your area: <https://www.amazon.com/All-That-Rain-Promises-More/dp/0898153883>
