I just got my hands on some mushrooms (holiday cheer). I've ingested mushrooms a few times but never from this supplier. Stems are long and skinny, white with blue bruising. My problem is the caps (unfortunately the only part I'm interested in). Most appear to be tan with gold, but some have large areas of black coloration. I'm concerned it may be mold, but would like to get some feedback from the community before I just toss them. So, has anyone gotten caps with black coloration? Did you eat them? Did it get you mega sick? I've had one previous experience with moldy mushrooms (white mold that time) and I'm not looking forward to repeating that experience. Thank you all. Love and light.
 
Why not post some photos of the caps?

I have had several batches of mushrooms with black patches on the caps - often its just where they have been roughly handled. I have never been sick after eating the ones I have bought / grown.

If you look at the bog standard store mushrooms some of them have small black patches on the caps where they have been knocked etc

How long did the mushrooms take to reach you? Have you asked the supplier?
 
Thanks Bearlove. I think you are probably right, considering the stems are a bit bruised too they look a bit knocked up. I don't think that they were out of refrigeration very long. A day and a half tops, and they were well dried. I'm going to contact my supplier and ask them. Also if others have eaten the same batch and what their results were. I'm kinda paranoid about bad mushrooms, having gotten very sick once. I've heard other people describe the black mold that grows on mushrooms as "fuzzy" and this is smooth. I will do my best to post a pic.

Supplier claims its the strain.

Normally I would say dont believe your dealer (when you hear some fo the shit on Pillreports/Ecstasy discussion you will understand why) but with the mushrooms the suppiers are normally different.

Yangoon strain often have black patches when dried even though they looked perfect when growing/fresh.
Good luck and I hope you have brilliant time :)
 
Sorry, I can't figure out how to load a pic off my phone onto my computer. I gotta head to work soon, so I will try to figure it out and load a pic asap. Thanks anyway for your help.

Update: Phone needs an SD card in order to file transfer. I will try to get another camera somehow, or the card.

Bearlove I'm with you on the dealer trust issue. I don't normally take things at someone's word when it comes to black market transactions, but mushroom people do tend to be a bit different. I'm not sure about the "strain" thing. If anything, it looks like bruising, or spores, but it doesn't brush off. Still not willing to risk it without putting in as much research as possible though.

if youre interested this is one way to do it:
NSFW:
email the picture to yourself, then go on photobucket and click 'upload now'. where it says "my computer" click that and in the drop down menu select "from email", go to the email, right click, select "copy image url" and then paste that in to the address bar for uploading.
 
It's called blueing and its a sign that theyre real, not mold. The stems are exactly as potent as the caps... the exact same mycelliia create the stems and caps. Just grind the dried shrooms, all of them, up in a coffee bean grinder ($10-15), mix with a little honey to mask the taste and down the hatch. easy as pie. Very dumb and wasteful and expensive to only eat the caps and throw away the stems. Where do people who come on here get all these cockamamie ideas stuck in their heads? Sheesh.

In my experience, most of the booms i have gotten had some black caps. Comparatively taking black caps have shown to be more of a mental trip for me, and the gold ones are usually more visual but the color could have nothing to do with that.. as long as it's not fuzzy like some of the left overs in my fridge u'll be fine :)
 
^ you are making this shit up. like you carefully picked out only black caps once and weighed a full dose out of them, and another time picked out only gold caps and did a trip with just those. Yea right. Quit fibbing. Trolls. And I fell for it. Why do parents let mischievous little children pole around on their computers? :D

Ive done pounds of shrooms over the years, and theres no diff between colors or parts.
 
@ DwayneHoover

I realize that it is probably completely psychosomatic, and that there is no way to rationalize it. I used to throw up EVERY TIME I ate mushrooms because the body high would get so intense and I'd get the spins, but then someone told me to try just eating the caps, and ever since then I haven't thrown up. Yes, they have the same active compounds in the same concentration, but this works for me. I used to have a supplier who would sell just caps to me, but no more. Since I have them, I will probably eat them, or give them to a friend. I am really more interested in weather eating this black shit is going to kill me or not. :\
 
Like previous posters have said, it is probably just bruising. Does it look like an integral part of the cap or something growing ON the cap? I have seen shrooms bruise to such a dark blue that I would call it black. They should be fine to eat. In the future if you are planning on keeping them for more than a couple of days you should plan on drying them immediately upon acquisition.
 
I agree with most folk.

Fuck eating them though. The most effective way to take mushrooms is in a tea IMO. Much easier on the body, almost no nausea compared to when eaten and it comes on within 10-30 mins rather 1-2 hours.
 
I took something similar like 5 years ago. I was similarly disturbed, but in the end I was very, very pleased! There were golden flakes too, which I think you mentioned? Let us know how it goes
 
^ Yeah....along with a side of pretentious dick in your face.

Why not explain it for those who dont know or are new to Mushrooms etc?

1.) Grind dry mushrooms to powder in coffee grinder/mortar & pestle
2.) Place powder in shot glass
3.) Cover powder with lemon juice (fake or fresh will both do fine)
4.) Let sit for 30 mins with 5 min stirring intervals
5.) Pound shot!



The trip will start to take affect in about 5 mins, and will peak in less than 2 hours. Less anxiety/paranoia, less body load, more enjoyable trip.
