Stropharia aeruginosa. Stropharia aeruginosa, commonly known as the verdigris agaric, is a medium-sized green, slimy woodland mushroom, found on lawns, mulch and woodland from spring to autumn.
The edibility of this mushroom is controversial[1] - some sources claim that it's edible, while others claim it to be poisonous, although effects are little known and its toxic constituents undescribed. Taxonomy[edit] Amanita rubrovolvata. Taxonomy, phylogeny, and naming[edit] Description[edit] Although the edibility or toxicity of the mushroom is not known with certainty, it has been reported to cause "neurological symptoms" in mice, as well as increased levels of blood glucose and decreased blood urea nitrogen.[15] Other biochemical changes reported in mice, after peritoneal injection of fruit body extract, include decreases in the activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase and reduced levels of liver glycogen.
In these experiments, values returned to normal six hours after initial injection, suggesting that the poisoning was not serious, and did not affect liver and kidney performance.[16] Similar species[edit] Amanita frostiana.

If you would like to grow your own magic mushrooms, two very good methods exist.
These are the PF TEK-method and the magic mushrooms growing guide. You can download both documents at the bottom of this page. Both methods are quite complicated and consist of about 40 pages of technical information. Therefore we recommend the beginning home grower to start with a grow kit, with the difficult work already done. Another advantage is that you can use the spores (which you can catch from your grow kit) to start your own culture after finishing your first grow kit.
