Ok I have been interested in psilocybin containing mushrooms for a long time and over the years ive built up a pretty good knowledge of what to look for in P.Cubensis and other mushrooms growing in cow-pats(blue meanies mostly). Ive never actually been on a pick myself but I plan to do my first when the season kicks in up here. We get more of the summer mushrooms here rather than the pine/woodchip growing varieties, the season for just north of Sydney would be starting around November am I correct? It seems that noone does them though, psychedelics arent very popular here it seems, acid is hard enough to find, pretty much non-existant.
With all of the knowledge I have I am still absolutely terrified of picking the wrong shroom so I have devised a plan to keep things as safe as possible. I just need a few opinions on whether these are viable ways of determining that I do in fact have P.Cubensis. I also posted this here as more people will see it and I wont get as many replies in the mushroom thread, I have found most of the people that reply in there are from down south getting subs or way up north with a slightly different season to us down near Sydney.
So im going to go for a pick and see what I can find(as I said there arent many shroomers around I dont think so hopefully plenty for me) but when I get the mushies im going to do a spore print to see whether the spores are the correct colour(purple/brown if I remember correctly), check for blue/purple bruising, then put each individual mushroom in a cup with a small amount of warm water to see if the water turns blue. Should I chop the mush up? As far as I know, no other deadly mushrooms turn blue(yes poisonous ones but not deadly).
All this of course is after doing all the regular tests. Im just taking every precaution possible. It may sound like overkill to some but dying from eating the wrong mushy is one of my worst fears and mushrooms are one of the psych's I really want some experience with.
If anyone can put me in the direction where I can find some info on NSW and Psilocybin mushrooms(not where to find them, just local documented info) id be so greatful. Ive been interested for years but never had the means to go hunting but I feel like the mushroom gods are calling me and want me to experience their beauty. Im so interested in all kinds of mushrooms(not just psychactives) I think they are beatiful things so if there are any Mushroom enthusiasts out there then please get in contact with me This is not sourcing, Mushrooms aside from Psychoactives greatly intruige me and id love to learn more from someone who knows whhat theyre talking about.
Sorry I had a few valiums so I might edit this tomorrow but any info would be appreciated Sorry for the length of this.
