The Big & Dandy Psilocybin Mushrooms Thread

Definitely music if your indoors. Set up a playlist, perhaps with visuals. If you're fasting, have some soft fruits like strawberries on hand. You may not want them, but if you do get the munch, they are a real treat. It might be nice to trip with another friend at first, or a bunch of friends. If it's your first trip it can get a bit lonely on your own, unless your outside in nature. Speaking of which, going for a walk for the come up is wonderful. It's even better if your in the countryside, or in a park or the forest. Go somewhere to watch the sunrise, or stare agape at the stars.

Shrooms can make you nauseous on the come up, so be somewhere where you feel comfortable chucking your guts up. If you're inside, have some soft blankets lying around, you might want to wrap up in them. Shrooms can alter your sense of body temperature, but rolling around in soft blankets also feels lush. If you're indoors, make sure you can change the lighting to get the visual element really going. If you play music or draw/paint, have your guitar or pencil and paper with you.
 
there is no perfect recipe for things you need. you will most likely have a blast anyhow if you go in with the right mindset. however there are some things that i always enjoy during the trip:
- music: prepare something you like, something you have never listened to, tripping will let you see them in a new light, hear them like never before. make sure they are esily accesible, trying to find a song on a fidgety device can become mighty hard
- nature: easily the best thing to do while tripping is to just be outside, preferably in the warm weather. days are more visual than nights, while nights are a bit more intimate/personal. the fresh air also relieves some of the nausea or tensions. forests are wonderous, the sky is a masterpiece, and all the trees embrace you
- clothes: wear somethign comfortable, preferably soft and warm. if going outside, you might feel better dressing plain, so as to not attract too much attention to yourself (all in the name of being comfortable). some sunglasses would be good if it is day and waay too sunny (or much snow glare)
- people: personally i prefer being alone, but sometimes friends can be fun to have around, especially in the same mindset
- food: i love fresh fruit, especially juicy slightly sour ones (like citric fruits, kiwis, all kinds of berries). they are wonderful to tough, to prepare to eat, to squish between teeth... some chocolate can also feel right. stay away from fatty heavy foods.

try to stay in a place familiar to you, be it indoors or outdoors.
personally i find watching movies/tv while tripping to be kind of a waste, as i love my imagination above others' :P but ymmv.
if you have things prepared beforehand so you dont have to look for them (headphones, mp3 player, clothes, food) it will make things much easier.

dont worry, enjoy the ride. on shrooms i feel the world is my friend.
 
poison

Note: I haven't the vaguest idea on what to search for regarding this question.. so I never bothered.
All times that I've eaten "psychedelic" mushrooms, I got very nauseated (at times, to the point of dry heaving). Is this inevitable? Are there ways to prevent it? Thanks in advance.
Thats what the psilocin/psilocybin in your body you can actually feel the poison taking affect good small caps ive had the dry dust talked about ahead of my post ,and the stem and caps were both the same high and the dried up looking like ash is just as good ,,,Im in south carolina and cant wait to go ,we live in the LOW COUNTRY whick is some of the best cone headed shrooms around,,so lets get to the subject on dry or wet shrooms ==i say dry unless you want to eat 20 grams wet to 2 grams dry = which is the same...8 im i right about the wet shrooms to dry anyone this is what ive read unless i read wrong,ive never eat wet shrooms..always light nand dry.... ,);)

First, you are not ingesting poisons when you eat cubensis. Second, be careful when picking wild mushrooms, not all are benign... You must know what you're looking for!

Mushroom tea with a capsule of Ginger root 30 mins before is the recipe to reduce nausea!
 
^ ginger capsules, pish posh! go to the store and buy some real fresh ginger root and make some tea from it, or do like I do and cut a piece off, chew it, and eat it. Ginger is a bit hardcore from some though.

If you can power past the spicyness, you're in for a world of nausea-relief and warm body feeling :D Plus it makes you super regular, can't beat that.


a couple shroom pics for the thread of course -

yum. nice mushrooms!

my babies are growing up nicely too! some are about to be picked as they are nearly ripe!
 
Did you guys know we have a half decent subthread for cultivation? Link is in the opening post of this thread! :)

Just a tip <3
Though at some point this thread may be reorganized into the subthreads ;)
 
Mushrooms seem to carry along with them applicable context and importance to the trips, weighted experiences, inspiring, very real "magic"

*bump*
 
It's crazy how many people I've done mushrooms who are convinced that the mushrooms MUST be poisonous if you are getting high off them.

I blame the Christians for warping our minds into thinking that if it feels good, it must be bad !
 
So my mate brought back some "4 and a half moon out of 6 moons" rated mushrooms according to the shop from Amsterdam. I've never done mushies before, only psych I've done is ketamine (if you can even call it a psych). They're dried mushies but apparantly they're very strong, especially for a first time psychonaut. How much should I be taking? The guy said the box could be split between 4 people with ease, but that might even be too much for me. I do a fair amount of MD etc, and weigh around 182 pounds. Any thoughts? Inside setting with 3 friends.
 
A friend gave me 0.5g of Panaeolus Cyanescens Jamaican and said they're extremely potent, half a gram should be similar to 2g of 'regular' mushrooms. Can't wait to try them =]
 
not sure if i've seen a simple tek for a pure psilocybin extraction, that's most likely something that would require some advanced chemistry knowledge. this is from a not-entirely-accurate text from the mid 70s.
Crumble and pulverize the dried mycelial material and combine each 100 mg of this material with 10 ml of methanol. Place the flask in a hot water bath for four hours. Filter the liquids with suction through a filter paper in a buchner funnel with Celite to prevent clogging. Collect and save the filtrate liquids. Heat the slurry (the mush in the filter paper) two more times in methanol as before, filter, and accumulate the liquids of the three extractions. To be certain that all of the alkaloids have been extracted do a small extraction with a portion of the used slurry and test with Keller's reagent (glacial acetic acid, ferrous chloride, and concentrated sulfuric acid). If there is a violet indication, alkaloids are still present and further extraction is in order.

In an open beaker evaporate the liquids to total dryness with a hot water bath or by applying a hair dryer. Be certain that all traces of methanol have been removed. The remaining residue should contain 25-50 percent psilocybin/psilocin mixture. Greater purification can be achieved, but would require other solvents and chromatography equipment and is hardly necessary.

oh, and probably best not to use a hair-dryer around volatile fumes.
 
I've heard that from many people. Are there any credible theories on the mechanism involved? I'm also a cynic and a fan of the placebo effect.

The acidity causes psilocybin to convert to psilocin. It doesn't increase the dose in any way but the dose will enter your blood stream much faster. Hence it causes a much stronger, but shorter high. It actually makes perfect sense, the rate that a drug enters your blood stream is as important as the dose itself.
 
Damn I miss growing..

I hope to start again soon though. It's been almost a year since I took any of these lovely fungus..think I'll be very ready when the time comes. I'd like to try growing some medicinal mushrooms as well...like Lion's Mane.

I think I'd like to try hippyflipping again, perhaps if I timed it a bit better...but then again can it ever be as awesome as candyflipping?
 
A dried mushroom weighing 3.5g? Doesn't sound likely.

Here is one that weighs 83 grams dried from my cultivation history book with 300 of the greatest shroom grow photos at my website under this heading (http://www.mushroomjohn.org/species.htm) Scroll to cube strains or species, or cultivation history links on that page. I have over 15,000 related photos at my site, including grow rooms that produce 20,000 kilos a week of P. cubensis, also posted in my site under mushroom farms in the articles and/or index section of my site.

lets see if I can get this picture to post.




Well as usuall, I am unable to post a photo here. I had this problem before and because of it, I am just turned 70 and have problems seeing good, physical disabillities, etc. So I do not have time to search for items to post when the image box ask for a url to the picture when it is from my website at this url which I your image add button will not allow me to post. So again I guess I will just drop visiting here. I cannot stand to type and retype and search for images to go in my posts.
have a shroomy day

The sites page for the 83 dried gram of a BNN super strain from Ban Nathon, Koh Samui. Grown in a lab in Bangkok.

For some reason the bottom right of your ascreen tells me I am not allowed to post attachments. Why are others here with pictures, also, many photographs I did post here several years ago now are all gone from this site. I am sorry but my time is really valuable. And I swear this is one of the most confusing sites I ever joined on the Internet.

You have to right-click on the image you want to post and click 'copy image location' (if you're using firefox). Then click the image button here and paste.

Attachments are (or were, have they been disabled completely?) pretty limited here anyway, it's probably better to upload things to your website and just link to them. You won't lose anything then, unless you remove it from, or move it on your website.

Don't stop posting because of that :)

Those are some pretty huge cubes :D
