I have a half eighth (mostly caps) of dried, generic mushrooms. I have been holding them for 2 years. There has been extreme heat and cold exposure.

I'm going to eat them tonight, but was wondering if I should get my hopes up - if I will trip. Your experience please thanks.
 
2 years??? Wtf... why did you have them for so long? Extreme heat and cold too? Sounds like they are most likely bunk by now, but hell, who knows.
 
yah maybe if theyd been kept in a fridge but i dont think so because of the exposure to extreme temp... but u never know Id still try em, expect nothing but maybe be pleasantly surprised
 
The psilocin will have all degraded, but psilocybin is much more stable and is most likely still present (well..depending on what you mean by 'extreme' hot and cold).

Only one way to find out ;)

EDIT: Ninja'd! Good vibes if they work :)

Well I grow mushrooms, and the bluing that you see on the stems is the psilocin rapidly degrading from the oxygen/light touching it.

I've stored mushrooms for quite a while in mediocre storage conditions and still tripped balls, albeit the trip was quite a bit less colorful & energetic, more mind-fuck and 'dark' if you will.


edit: from wikipedia..

"The blue-staining species of Psilocybe are characterized by the presence of psilocin and psilocybin. The blue-staining reaction, while not completely understood, is thought to be a caused by a degradation reaction of psilocin, hence the degree of bluing in a Psilocybe fruiting body correlates directly with the concentration of psilocin in the mushroom. Psilocybin is chemically far more stable than psilocin, the latter compound being largely lost when the mushroom is heated or dried."
 
They don't call 'em magic mushrooms for nothing... they set in almost IMMEDIATELY and I could hardly get myself downstairs!! Forget putting on any music! 8(;)
 
Im curious to hear how this turned out....please post letting us know. Hopefully a dangerous mold didnt grow on them >.>
