Went for a frolic this afternoon just to check what the rain had been up to, i only found a few pins in my local patch, left them there to enjoy some more rain. I'll be having a look at some other areas tomorrow to see what's happening but i'm pretty sure it's coming to an end =)

^Great pick!

That one that is a little oxidized or/and discolored - what has caused that?? Frost? Is he not as potent as the other by any chance?

I always wonder whether it's worthwhile picking ones like that. Some feedback on that would be awesome peoples :)

You're spot on Mrs Krinkle

The discoloration is oxidization, usually caused by frost. Technically speaking it should be a little less potent than a mushroom not effected by freezing conditions

All the pins in my area have suffered death by frost bite :(
 
Yeah, I noticed a lot of miserable looking ones in the patch too. According to the weather forecast, the next few days are all a low of 6 degrees.. not looking so good?
 
Well i took the subs that i had last night. On the come up they really threw me around and i was close to throwing up. My other 2 mates were fine though. After the initial nausea i was sweet. Nothing too strong, felt i was always in control but we all had a great time none the less. Listened to Pink Floyd/Animal collective and watched Baraka which was a great combination.
Now i've just gotta find some myself.
 
^ If you are in Southern Australia you will have no dramas finding them but get on it. The come up nausea is one of the most off putting aspects of mushrooms to me, this coupled with the disorientation (particularly present if one brews a tea) make mushrooms an unforgiving one.

I actually was advising a workmate of mine earlier, he has shrooms which he has never done (or tripped on anything for that matter) and is under the impression they are safe or safer due to being natural. I tried to explain a moderate dose of LSD was likely a safer and smarter option for a first time tripper but he wasn't having a bar of it. I would give the same advice to any would be trippers on this forum, shrooms are VERY unforgiving and have a dark feel to them, I am not saying they are unenjoyable but I do think its a shame that most Australian trippers get their first taste of psychedelics in shrooms rather than acid.
 
A few of my friends had their first, or one of their first psych experiences, on shrooms. If the nausea didn't make them spew first and just kill the trip, a couple others didn't find it as enjoyable as people made it out to be.

On a related topic friends of friends may have found a source much closer to home, however I'm hearing that even having a handful didn't do much, which when I had about the same for my first time I certainly felt it comparable to a tab or two.

I'm not risking trying them until someone I can trust confirms what they are, rather not just gobble a few grams worth and find out the hard way they aren't the right species

The first time i tried shrooms i had the most enjoyable experience. I couldnt get ahold of any acid when i was 16-17 so i did shrooms instead. Most seasoned trippers who have tried both will agree that shrooms shit all over acid. The only reason why i do acid is because of the nice visuals it gives me otherwise all trip are the same and leave an empty feeling in u when its over. Shrooms on the other hand gives u such an indepth mental trip which is spiritual. Shrooms are the true psychedelics where each trip is meant to teach u something.

Have to agree that the nausea is def a turnoff but depends on the individual. I have never spewed off them. I find the more i do it the more i get nausea for sum strange reason altho the nausea dissapears quickly after the comeup. If u search the web and type in acid vs shrooms u guys will see polls where people compare them and shrooms win hands down. Dont get me wrong i luv acid too but its all about the visuals. I think what makes a true psychedelic drug good is when it alters ur consciousness so much that u get visuals from the messy mental state u are in which ur mind creates. Its kinda hard to explain with psychs tho.
 
i've found lots of toadstools of late.

:(

but have to agree with sustanon, i have only recently had mushrooms after decades of acid and i totally believe shrooms shit on LSD.

Shrooms to LSD is like comparing MDMA with speed.
 
^ Haha funny you should make the comparison because personally I prefer speed over MDMA. :p

In all seriousness though, which psychedelics you prefer is entirely subjective and I don't think it is really possible to definitively say either LSD or mushrooms are better than the other beyond personal opinion. I don't personally enjoy mushrooms anymore, I used to however and therefore I obviously acknowledge that they can be an enjoyable recreational drug. I never said they were shit or that people should never use them.

I never once said in my post that LSD was better than mushrooms, what I said is that shrooms are less forgiving than LSD and I doubt many experienced trippers (especially with subs, the mushrooms in question, as they are very potent as shrooms go) would disagree with me there. This is the reason I suggested LSD is probably a safer choice for first time/inexperienced trippers than mushrooms are. It isn't about personal preference it's about HR and I truly believe LSD has less potential to cause harm in the way of bad trips than mushrooms do. Obviously there is a greater risk of adulteration when buying LSD, but compared to most other drug markets the acid one is pretty clean at the minute, plus you can't forget the risk of accidental consumption of poisonous mushrooms either.

The psychedelic mindstate can be unstable and frightening at times, I suggest first timers use a more forgiving one as opposed to a less forgiving one and in my experience that would be acid.
 
I completely agree with Sust about shrooms shitting all over acid, just personal opinions of course. We had discussed this issue before, before I had dosed anymore then a couple shroom trip's, all before that it was just LSD.

I use to think acid was to intense, and shrooms were easier to handle now after experiencing shrooms more it is much the other way around, and now I find LSD to be FAR to plain for me, it lacks too much emotion.

LSD is the better choice for first trips, IMO. Much more directed, with shrooms I find I need to be kinda 'planning' ahead of time to make sure I keep my mind occupied and intrested. This is with solo trips BTW.
 
^ Funny you should say LSD lacks emotion, I completely agree with you there! Atleast in comparison to tryptamines I have tried (shrooms and 2-CB). That is one of the reasons I think acid is a good starting place, the less emotional you are when you first venture into such an unknown experience as your first trip the better imho.

The lack of nausea and disorienting effect are the other two primary reasons I suggest LSD, even as an experienced tripper I have had difficulties not losing my shit during the highly disorienting come up of a strong shroom trip. I am MUCH less experienced with acid than mushrooms, but in my limited experience with it the come up was very gentle, mushrooms smack you in the face like a tonne of bricks.
 
Definatly DM.

I get quite un easy on the come up on shrooms,a feeling of panic and not knowing wheather your mind will be able to go along with the trip. I find the nausea is worse if you munch em down also, rather then if you put into a tea.

For me, after my acid + shroom trip(alone) the other day as I started coming up on the acid(2 hits) all my soroundings turned into blockish form, and out of reality( I was out in the bush at the time) and it gave me perspective that high dose LSD is made for inside environments, and when your indoors alone on a good dose, all the furniture around you turns extremely surreal and blocky and has an intense "other dimension" feel to it. As with psychs, it's hella hard to explain.

Here's a quote a mate sent to me while peaking off 4 hits once.

"A young boy on LSD today, relised that all objects are just condensed energy, there is no life or death" For me, that is a perfect way to some up what it feels like when your totally fucked up on LSD alone. It's like that's how LSD lives it's life, and when it takes over you and you read that quote, god it sinks in so hard.

Good discussion DM, I like your informative posts.
 
Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration — that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death; life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves... Here's Tom with the weather!

Although i'm going to join into the debate concerning wish psychedelic drug is more suitable for first time would be trippers, i have to say that although LSD was the chemical that first opened my doors of perception so to speak(well marijuana did this first to a certain extent), i have found that psilocybin seems to be much much better in terms of being a true insightful thought provoking entheogen.

Psilocybin dosn't seem as visual, but alot more spiritual, and a sense of seeing things for the first time as they really are.

I'm pretty stoned and cant be fucked to go on but y'all get the picture.
 
^ Funny I always found mushroom visuals to be more in your face than acid visuals where acid visuals are more intricate. It is like on shrooms patterns jump out at you, on acid its like you see a subtle pattern and can look deeper into it and notice more and more complexities.

Obviously it is hard to describe, and it may vary from person to person, but I would always have said mushrooms were more "visual" than LSD.

That's exactly how I would describe my visuals on LSD.

Usually from mushroom's I dont get any visual at all, although objects around me will turning much brighter and darker in colour. Up untill a few weeks ago I tryed different mushrooms to what I had been dosing, I believe there known as 'golden teachers' I dosed my normal dose of 5 gs and they were as visual, if not more so then LSD visuals. After smoking a couple of bongs, I felt the THC synergize with the shrooms and that increased my visual intensly, my vision quickly filled with what I believe is called the "cobweb effect" was pretty insane for me :)
