Hey everyone. I went on a nature walk today and came across a pretty sizable mushroom, and have no idea what it is. I live in a "normally" arid area, but it has been quite wet over the past 4-6 months, and I've noticed a couple species pop up in my backyard, but nothing this like this guy.
When picked, and then when cut at the stem, the insides turned a deep blue colour, so I am wondering if it has psychoactive properties. Also weighed in at nearly half a kilo.
Anyone able to help me ID this?
Edit: Forgot to mention that the underside has little dimple like holes, instead of gills, that excreted a spore print(?) like mess on my hand, while walking back to the house. I currently have it sitting on an a4 piece of paper, under a large bowl, to collect the spore print.
