Large, bruising mushrooms

[perroloco]

Hello,
Today I stumbled on these two mushrooms:

I have read the guidelines that say that psychoactive mushrooms are small and these are BIG, but their immediate bruising made me take them home.
Location, Southern Europe, inside forest, growing on soil and old pine-needles. Actually the cap of the mushroom had lifted a handful of earth as it came up.
The gills are yellow, very dense, fiber-like (Not linear)
The stem has the same color as gills about 5 cm in diameter and unknown height because I did not uproot them. However the exposed stem was ~7-10cm long.
The cap has a reddish-brown color but it was covered in earth so it could be lighter. The cap does not bruise because it is pretty hard, bark-like. It is circular on the young mushroom and elliptical on the older mushroom. Diameter about 12-15cm. Between the skin of the cap
and the gills is a foamy substance.
Spore print N/A
The Young mushroom bruised within 2 seconds a deep blue-purple color all along the cut of the stem. The older mushroom bruised only on the perimeter of the stem (and it took longer). Some bruising on the gills if they are pressed. The cap is bruising internally (visible only if u cut it).

I know that the area here has its own indigenous mushroom, but I've never seen one before. Seeing the bruising made me write this post hoping for an appraisal.
Any other info I can provide.
Thank you

I remember a psychoactive mushroom looking somewhat like the one in the picture but I seem to have misplaced the book....

As far as I remember, it was not native to Scotland.

Hard to identufy from a picture. The blue bruising should give a hint normally but I dont know if any other non psilocybe mushrooms turn blue.

i heared that most mushrooms turn blue, even poisonous ones, not because of psilocin or psilocybin but of some kind of enzyme called laccase thats inside almost every mushroom.

 

[WaseFraKa]

how could you pick up such ugly shrooms? mature and almost rotten....
anyway i don't know all the psychoactive ones but I've never seen any like that...

A lot of non psychoactive mushrooms turn blue "on air".

Indeed, it's close to impossible to identifiy a mushroom 100% from just a picture.

Technically, those mushrooms dont have gills, they have "tubes"
(sponge like surface, genus Boletus).

The only mushroom of the family Boletaceae that is said to be psychoactive is
Boletus manicus.

So the mushrooms you found aren't psychoactive/Boletus manicus for sure.

My guess(!) (I'm not a mycologist) is Boletus radicans.
(it's neither editable nor psychoactive)
My adive: throw it away, dont eat them.

You have found fungus family Leccinium and when they are touched even, they turn colour to blue and green.Thay are eatable,very nice taste just like Boletus edulis 8) They are not psilocibe

 

[TheeLord!]

I don't think that it is Leccinium.
(e.g far too fat stem for Leccinium)

Perhaps its Boletus calopus .. perhaps not ...
Still think it's Boletus radicans.

For better illustration:
Leccinum
Boletus

Well, who cares ;-)
