They look like dried panaoelous cyanescens, aka "pan cyans". Those are god-tier mushrooms. They are much more potent than any psilocybe strain. Their psilocin to mass ratio is much higher, and has a higher concentration of other tryptamine alkaloids, including some not present in "regular" 'shrooms.
Pan cyans are known for producing more vivid trips, require much smaller doses to ingest, taste less like ass, and are less likely to induce indigestion. They're not common among distributors because flush yields are smaller and not often suitable for profitable sale. The teks for growing are also different, costlier, and more involved. They also need to be more delicately dried in order to retain potency.
Mostly only hardcore hobbyists or psychonauts grow or seek them out. I had a spore syringe of the species once but never did grow them. Something I regret; not many vendors stock their spores, and those that do usually only intermittently.
Edited for editing.
Sounds like what a hardcore psychonaut would say.
Guilty as charged. Tried all the classics and a dozen or so exotic tryptamine, phenetlyamine, and lysergide analogues. Grew a variety of mushroom species and strains. Quit experimentation and growing a long time ago.
Psychedelics are neat and useful until they're not. At some point most psychedelic users find they've finished searching for novel effects, or they've done enough personal introspection for a lifetime, then hang up the gloves.
I won't say no to some DMT, and will drop a tab or two of LSD every now and then, but the ocassions need to be special.
