Mushroom Season 2011

went for a hunt in SE Vic and only found a solitary shroom, but nothing else. there wasn't much other fungi around either which leads me to believe it's still just a tad early! shucks

Did you find that patch in a valley HTMB?

I went out after looking at your photos, i was unsuccessful at my usual patches yesterday but decided to look around a bit more and found a valley area with a few growing..



IT won't be raining until wednesday.. hopefully next weekend yields a bigger find

Agreeeeed! Bring on the rain plx!

Nice find heythatsmybike

Ive Been looking around the canberra suburbs and havent found anything yet, whats the ideal temperatures and rain conditions etc?? im going to go check black mountain and mount ainslie over the next few days

well i'm eating suillus luteus and suilus granulatus at the moment.

i'm confused about the Amanita muscaria Erowid and many other places claim their psychedelic but other sources claim they are poisonous. now if in doubt don't eat em and I don't but tis a bit annoying this contradiction.

side note, suilus granulatus is making my ass go off at the moment.

amanita can be done, but you must heat in an oven then boil them.
have a read of a few of the procedures before doing it, but from what my mate told me they are indeed worth the trouble.

Chugs I don't believe Amanita Muscaria are poisonous, and they certainly can be used recreationally although I think it is more classed as a deleriant than a psychedelic like Psilcybin mushrooms are. Certain Amanita's are poisonous so maybe thats why people are confused or perhaps it takes a relatively low dose of Muscaria to have toxic effects.

I seem to recall reading that drying and preparing them is neccessary to enjoy the high with less side effects where consuming them fresh is pretty much guaranteed to be a bad time, but I am going from memory and am fairly stoned atm.

Personally due to its deleriant status I have had no inclination to consume A. Muscaria, but it can be done safely if you are determined to do it, although in my view you may be better off waiting until you find some Psilocybe Subaeruginosa.

You should probably do a little more research chugs.
As mentor said, they're a deliriant so if you're not prepared to spiral into delirium do not ingest them. In the case that you are, have fun man.
Chance are when you hear about Amanita Muscaria being poisonous it's in the sense that there are ways of ingesting it that may make you feel nauseous, or that might intoxicate as apposed to the standard English sense of the term — a substance, a small part of which, if ingested, can cause serious injury, or even death.
Other mushrooms of the Amanita genus like Phalloides [Death Cap] and Ocreata [Destroying Angel] are lethal, so stay the fuck away from those.
Sorry to change the subject a bit, just trying to clear some shit up.

i know this isn't really the place, so mods if you want me to make a separate thread let me know.

has anyone had xanax say half hour or so before a trip to cancel out some of the anxiety of the come up?

just curious as im pretty keen for a trip but i know certain things would get to me at the moment (ie. stupid shit like not having a job lol) and think that xanax would get around most of this, but would want to make sure i dont ruin any other parts of the trip.

i've read about it on other sites, but none regarding subs specifically.

I have dosed mushrooms after having valium on the same day about 3-4 prior. I had 3 5mg valiums.

I found it did reduce any anxiety and I still got good visuals and had a nice trip. I do believe though it took away some of the experience - especially the mind trip part of it - not so much the visuals.

So I think go for it just don't take a lot and expect some reduction in the potency of the trip.

Peace

all good, i've had enough mind fuck from shrooms in my time lol

i couldn't find any in my short hunt today still looks a lil dry around the areas

I found a bunch of Gymnopilus junonius growing in my backyard today any info on dosage would be appreciated.

Yeah same here man, Amanita Muscaria is definitely not on my list of trips to experience. With having a friend give me a clear description of it's effects, i just know it wont be my cuppa tea. This friend specialises in it as well, and they by all means did not try to turn me off it, i have just come to this conclusion with taking into account what i personally seek from a trip.

Crook belly

Can anyone recommend any decent anti nausea pills that they have found have worked a treat? I was given some for a previous trip that worked ok, but can't remember for the life of me what they were called. I don't often feel nausea... but occasionally i do and it's annoying. Im not a puker, unless i really , and i mean REALLY have to... so having a chuck is not the answer for me.

I have found green tea to be wonderful to consume while on shrooms, it helps them digest a lot better and helps sooth nausea, but then there are those times when we get a little carried away and bump up our dose just that little bit too much... and then yeah, left with a mad trip but a ill belly. I hate that. Any tips would be well appreciated as i plan to consume when doofing this weekend so wanna avoid feeling crook as much as possible.

MOds - apologies if this is the wrong thread - if so i can re-post in psychedelic drugs

and i just wanna add that Amanita Muscaria is my most favorite looking mushroom! But then again the subs look pretty psychedelic. :D

Funny I have always found Amanita Muscaria an abomination of nature, that shit just don't look right, I do think that subs are an alright looking mushroom, I love how much their appearance can vary, even though it is arguably due to several sub species we aren't mycologists here so why get pedantic.

Dugfukkdrockstar, I have always found first gen antihistamines useful for nausea but they might add unwanted sedation and due to their deliriant effects in high doses could possibly add an unwanted edge to the trip.

I find that gargling very cold water can work a treat for nausea, apparently if you gargle water before you swallow it hydrates you quicker, for me personally shroom nausea is usually accompanied with a sense of overheating and gargling water has been useful in the past although I occassionally got a few giggles out of tripping comrades in the process.

Funny thing, I really am a puker, to the point throwing shit up is about as natural as taking a piss. Fucking psilocybe subaeruginosa just likes to be a cunt to me though, and makes me sick as a dog, but I will NEVER throw up unless I make myself. It is never a pleasant experience finger fucking your throat for a few minutes as a high dose of mushroom tea takes hold before looking down in to the bowl to see your stomach contents wriggling around like maggots, but fuck you feel better afterwards.

Yeah well that description ain't gonna help my non vomiting issue any more!!!!!!!!! Thanks dude. Ill be sure to remember taking note of my insides squiggling if i ever end up chucking! Fucker.

I wish i was a spewer. It would make life a lot easier, especially as a tripper.

I haven't done any more than a few good power dry reaches... but nothing would come up. I was prepared for it as well ....I have also struggled with a bit of bad anxiety during one particular shroom trip because i couldn't let myself spew. It was also a shroom trip i decided to take on while on the first day of my period .. but man.... while there was it's down sides (high anxiety) i don't know how much more i can recommend a chick to do a shroom trip on the fist day of her menstrual cycle at least once in her life. The visuals and spiritual intensity and connection was absolutely MIND blowing. And that was on a 2 gram dose.. at that 'time of the month' any more would have been far too much (for me). It taught me once and for all just how powerful and spiritual the woman's hormonal cycle is. I will do it again, when i am ready for it. when i am game to face it again. Hands down the MOST intense and spiritual and mind blowing experience on shrooms yet. Incredible. This experience alone has shown me just how fucking amazing shrooms are. That one trip alone taught me soooooo much about myself, and also... just what the shrooms can deliver and how far they can open your mind.

I am talking FULL ON entity contact.

drugfuckrockstar : trust me if u eat high enough dosage on shrooms. U will spew easillly :D

on of my 7gram trips, man i spewwed like 17times. but i had fun each spew. every spew it sorted kicked in the trip much much harder. it was like a giggle+spew at the same time.
my oev were so intense. it was almost as if i was see my cev's open eyed :D

LOL, its really probably less disgusting looking like swirling bugs than shroom tea mixed with whatever I ate would look sitting in there. Seriously though, you have forgotten all aboutit by the time you leave the bathroom, you seem one of the more experienced sroomers round here, I am sure you could handle it if you buckled down.

Despite being an easy spewer I have always had the exact problem as you with shrooms (well since they started makin me ill, I did em for a while with zero nausea but the more doses you have the iller you get ime) my advice to you is just plow them fingers down your throat. Its not so easy the first time, which is why you wanna be a bit rough and get it over and done with. You don't know how liberating it is to finally let that hurl go after like half an hour of feeling like youv been poisoned and KNOWING you need to chunder but trying to muster the gall to do it. After a couple times it becomes so easy you find yourself waiting next to the toilet door for the nausea to kick in haha.

Seriously though, try gargling water as this has done wonders for me in the past on shrooms and other shit. Other than that the only advice I could offer is to try some LSD.... too bad THAT doesn't pop out the tanbark every Autumn hey.
