Mushroom Season 2014

Status
Not open for further replies.
been picking a few times this year in Melbourne, bit of a drive where we go but always worth it. Had a really bad time last sesh. First time its happened to me but has really put me off mushrooms for the time being
 
Excellent conditions in VIC after recent rains. not many pins out there tho.
Definitely err on the side of caution with subs, if you have a larger amount and are sharing with friends consider making a tea or a at least chopping and mixing them to standardise your dosage .
 
My last cubensis trip was 3.5g dried. I know a few times I thought to myself "yeah. No way I could handle myself in public like this, if I had to interact with anyone....lolz"

So moved house last weekend. New place is smack bang in the middle of a decent golf course, on the outskirts of town. Was spot on 0deg celcius when I left for work this morning at 7:45am....might go for a bit of a walk early morning this coming weekend, see if there's anything around :D
 
I may add that I am 85kg. I have been using psychedelics for around 12 years. Haven't had shrooms for around 12 months. I have a rediculous tolerance to psychedelics. In te past I have always had access to strong doses psychedelics. When I used to do shrooms I would always put my whole find (usually a shopping bag full) into a big saucepan with water and boil it for 25 minutes or so and have a cup of that. Over the last few years when I've gotten them I have started drying them out and putting them in caps. 4-5g is what I usually have as a dose.

^Are subs stronger? No?

EDIT: now I remeber, subs are one of the strongest.



I will add, I'm around 60kg and very sensitive to psychs.

yes, subs (gold-tops) are ze strongest in this great country of ours..

no offence intended mate but fuck, 60kg? I'm guessing your a very short bloke? I'm 6'2" @ 90kg and I have an athletic build so to say (the beer gut is creeping).. I put this down to my line of work (I stack 108 80kg 'fishing pots' every day I work) otherwise Im around 85/84kg.. with this in mind, 3 grams of dried subs will give me lets say uhhh, a very nice trip :)

guess it goes to show, body mass plays a huge role in dosage...
 
I went to my spot and found someone had trashed the area. I found one tiny surviving shroom so a scooped him up with the chips it was attached to and grabbed a few clumps of bark with some mycelium. Took it home and put it into a tupaware container and glad wrapped the top up to make an Eco system. It has kind of worked as the mushroom has grown a noticeable amount in the last couple of days. No mild is manifesting in the Eco system, the shroom looks healthy. Hopefully it throws spores and more pop up

I am so jealous how people in melburn (when in season) can literally just walk out the door and go looking for mushrooms

its not fair :(

Oh, come on - that's an exaggeration. I have to walk at least fifty metres - and that's only if I want enough for one or two people - have to walk nearly FIVE HUNDRED METRES if I want to fill a shopping bag.
 
3.5grams of dried subs is a huge dose. If they 'cracker dry' that can be around 30 mushrooms.

That said, I've had (properly dried) subs, where I find 1 dry gram is the rough equiv of 100ug of LSD and and 3.5grams sends me straight to god. Yes - this same batch of dried powder, I had a mate with some insane natural tollerance, I gave him around 3 grams to start with, after an hour he said he was hardly feeling it, so I gave him another 10grams, which he promptly ate all of and yeah, he said he was pretty high, but he was totally coherent and intelligible the entire night and by no means having some spiritual experience or some shit like that.

So I guess, everyone really does react different.

That said - it can also be that the mushrooms didn't dry well, if they're overly bruised, or heat is used in the drying process, I've found it can greatly reduce potency.. Also, different batches / patches of mushrooms can vary greatly in potency too.
 
Getting shite-loads of mushrooms popping up.. everywhere, but can't tell if they're any good. I don't think they are :/

Fun to look but not holding much hope.
 
Last time I went out a whole flush of very similar looking gold tan capped mushrooms had popped up in my patch, in some cases growing right beside the subs, so just a reminder for inexperienced pickers to be careful.
Always double check your hauls when you get home.

Strong subs this year it seems, had good effects off 1g and even less fully dry and had a few mates have quite uncomfortable times around the 2.5g mark.

3.5 dried of subs is a pretty high dose, I've found them to have quite a bit more body load than cubes and asian species. so I prefer not to take higher amounts and potentially ruin the trip with sides .
usually takes at the minimum 3 days for mine to dry completely.
sometimes you strike gold (tops) and find an awesome urban patch so keep hunting.

I've noticed the difference in body load with subs and cubes. i wonder why that is? maybe something to do with the alkaloid ratio between the 2. I don't think its a potency issue because low to high doses of subs always give me an almost restrictive body load compared to cubes.

Yeah my subs are pretty much cracker with 3 days of fan air. larvae ate half of my first harvest while closet drying which was a new experience for me, but found a better patch as a result. A golf course!

it's getting cold and i'm seeing a lot of stunted shrooms, but i hope to go looking a few more times before the season stops.

this would be relevant in fresh mushrooms but once dried there is less of the unstable psilocin regardless of initial ratios. I don't think Subs have been studied extensively so it may be some other substance that is responsible.
It could be placebo but attempts at extracting in acetic acid from Subs led to a lower body load, this apparently causes at least a partial dephosphorylation of psilocybin to psilocin. It could also be that a potential nauseous substance is not soluble in this acidic environment and stays in the unconsumed mushroom biomass.

As for maggots , I find getting a fan on them straight away stops the fuckers. Next question is, do dried maggots cause nausea?
 
I'm thinking of heading out to the mountain ranges near Melbourne to go pickin on Wednesday or Thursday. Just wanted some advice on wether it is worth it or if its too cold?
If I don't find anything then I'm not to fussed as I also want to go out there to go bush walking but the predominant reason to go out there is for picking shrooms, so yeah should I take a bag along? Is it still the season down here?
