I remember years ago reading you can tell if a mushroom is "magic" by blotting it on paper towel and seeing if it stains blue or purple. Unfortunately, that is also how many things say you can tell it's toxic. Maybe you'll trip balls. Maybe you'll die. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Maybe you’ll trip balls and THEN die!

I wouldn't be surprised if the poison and the psychoactive part are the same thing in different doses, or just function similarly.
