not always.
Do a spore print test, if you don't know how to, then learn how to do it before you go shroom hunting. Your spore print test will be one of the key identification methods used when ID'ing shrooms, as well as using other key characteristics such as shape, habitat, what colour it bruises, sometimes a smell etc.
To do a spore print test, just get yourself a piece of white paper, a flat surface, a drinking glass and like a toothpick. Cut the head off the shroom so it can sit flat on the piece of paper, make sure not to tap it around too much or anything. Once it is sitting flat and is in the final spot where you will leave it (don't move it for like 24 hours), put a toothpick down near-ish the shroom and then put your drinking glass over the shroom and over the toothpick. The reason for putting the toothpick there is so that any moisture gathered will have a way to escape (yes it means there will be a small gap between the glass and paper).
Let it sit undisturbed for 24-48 hours, prefferanly in a dark dry place, or where ever, just make it dry. After that, lift it all up n take it all out and you SHOULD see a spore print on the paper. Psilocybin shrooms usually leave a purple/blue/violet sporeprint.
head to
www.shroomery.org for more id'ing info.
It's good that you are getting out and picking and learning to ID, but, DO NOT DUMP ANY SHROOMS UNLESS YOU CAN PROPPERLY ID THEM AS ALLOT OF SHROOMS ARE TOXIC.
As for your shrooms, pitch em, they don't look active at all. Out of curiousity, what type of environment did you find them in? Grass? Leaf litter? On a tree? Woodchip garden?
Anyway, as for my shroom hunting experience/knowledge, i've been hunting for as long as i could remember (long family tradition, for edibles mainly).
I found these mushrooms in my yard
