ok this is my first trip report so please bare with me:

i have never had an psychedelics before and was a bit sketchy cos i get really freaked out on weed but decided i gotta try this shit at least once in my life, so when my mate sms me sayin he could get hold of some mushies i jumped at the chance.

i bought about 30-35 wet shrooms and was told by my mate that a good dose would be about half. Anyway I took them over a friends house where we planned on doing half each. We were sitting in his kitchen munching through them at about 8:30pm (both nervous as hell cos it was our first time) when the guy who sold them to me rang up. The first thing he said was "hey man how many have you eaten? what ever you do dont eat as many as i said!". It turns out he just ate about 8 and was feeling it pretty hard. By that stage I had eaten about 10 myself and my other mate had about 6. We stopped there and went outside for a smoke, there was definately a feeling of uneasiness between us both but neither of us wanted to admit it to the other, but we both knew.

About 30 minutes later 5 more mates rocked up and they ate the rest of the mushies, its was all their first time too. They were all drinking heavily.

We all sat around watching TV for about another 45 minutes when I got up to go to the toilet. I could slowly feel it coming on and when I got to the toilet for the first time the walls started breathing a little bit. I looked down into the toilet bowl and it looked like it was about 5 feet deep...was pretty funny shit. I went back and joined my mates watching TV and one of my friends got up to put a Futurama DVD on. When he stood up he looked like a giant but his head looked really small! I went into a fit of laughter and tried my best to explain what i was laughing at to my friends.

When Futurama started the visuals really started to kick in, the TV looked normal but the white wall behind it was blending yellows and purples and the roof was doing the same. The whole room started going light and dark and the walls werent even white anymore. There was just like a dull rainbow rolling through the room constantly changing. It was amazing, like nothing I have ever experienced before. My body felt tired but at the same time I couldnt stop getting up and walking around. It was like being stoned but minus the body fuck.

During this time the conversation was hilarious, I wont go too far into it cos it was "you had to be there" kinda stuff, but one subject was how 2 guys could grip and shake each others hands and it would be manly. But if in another situation if you accidentaly touched your friends hand (especially the back) without meaning to it would feel awkward and gay. Yep had to be there.

I bit later We went and searched on google for cool things to look at and found this amazing picture of a mushroom with fluro green swirls and about 3 different backgrounds all intertwining into 1. At first just the colours looked cool but after a while it became like 4D - it was amazing. Now I could really understand what all this was about.

The rest of the night was just a mix of chilling outside looking at the sky seeing things in the clouds (i swear I saw the dragon from 'the never-ending story') and having a few bourbons inside watching australia thrash the poms in cricket.

I know that probably wasnt too exciting for most of you but as a first time I think that was the perfect dose - just to test the water. Now I know what its like I think i could go deeper into the trip next time. At first it was impossible to have a conversation with most people, but as the night wore on and I got more used to what was happening I relaxed and really enjoyed the experience. I was expecting heaps of paranoid thoughts (like on weed) but I really managed to control my mind. I ended up going to sleep about 3am and woke up fine the next day.
 
Hey reward :)

Last night I had my first mushroom experience too! It was almost exactly like you described.

We were given mushrooms in a capsule (ground up, dried maybe??). There was four capsules. We were told by the person who gave them (as a gift <3) to wait until we were in a park or something to truly experience it. And I had planned to; but I just woke up from a big sleep after an awesome party, and I had had a couple of glasses of wine and felt in the mood to get high again. As you do.

My boyfriend was sleeping on the couch and I did my best to wake him up "Hey baby I want to take the mushrooms!!" He went "nerrrr neeerrrrrrrr" (which means, "fuck off, I'm sleeping") so I reluctantly just took one myself. 1/2 hour later he woke up - I think my words had sunk in, he had a beer and decided to join me.

By this stage I was feeling *different*, but it was nothing major. Just a lovely, peaceful glow, and all the sketchiness and body aches I had been feeling from the night before had dissapeared. I described it to my boyfriend as like "a pill without the come-up", and it was. LOVELY, is the only word that encapsulates that first moment.

Because I was feeling so good and yet not fucked up, I thought, to hell with it - and suggested we take the other one.

I took my 2nd mushy cap about an hour in; my b/f had his maybe 15 minutes after his first. We sat in the computer room talking shit, listening to Pearl Jam and Faith No More... I was still just feeling mildly happy, content and no visuals (yet).

I got the sudden urge to move somewhere more comfy, so I set up the loungeroom: lit some candles, put 5 CD's on random (Silverchair, FNM, Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots and Nirvana), got the uggies out. My b/f came in and we put on a dvd of Silverchair's Diorama concert on mute. Thats when the visuals started. We had incence going, and were smoking ciggarettes, and all of a sudden the background of the room sort of "faded out" and all I could see was the two types of smoke, mingling in the air. Then the smoke formed a kind of a "grid", which merged into another image, sort of like a very pixelated photgraph.

I am not a fan of psychadelics at ALL, I don't really enjoy acid, I abhor weed....and I am scared of "seeing things", but this was strangely okay. It wasn't anything to panic over. I didn't feel out of control at all, like I had feared.

I looked over at the couch and my b/f was rocking back and forth. I was just getting into the music, feeling good, enjoying my mild visuals... but by now, he was in another state ENTIRELY. He was squirming and laughing at nothing, hugging himself, rolling around on the couch... all the while being still *concerned* about me: "It's okay baby, I'm fine, I'm enjoying it.... it's just, whoa... can't you feel the rushes???" I'm like "No, not really" :D *bemused*

It was funny at first, especially when he said "I feel like a lump of plasticine! ! I just want to squish myself!" =D

I think we laughed for 15 minutes straight after that.... it was the funniest thing I'd ever heard (another 'had to be there' moment ;) )

But then then he just got annoying. I was really chill, feeling amazing, but he was starting to freak me out with all his squirming and rolling around, eyes rolling back in his head. Killing my buzz!!! grrrr. In the end, he went into another room (his own idea - he needed to get away from the stimulus I guess) and I just relaxed back on the couch with the music.

That's when I started to see the colours.... OH... the pretty colours! The picture on the TV started to change and eminate rainbow colours from it in a vibe pattern, like sonic waves. Everything I looked at had a ring of colour around it. And not only that, I've never felt so happy in all my life.... I felt like I realised, for the first time, how beautiful everything actually was. No jadedness, no cynicism, just an acceptance of the wonder of life and feeling really humbled by it. And this was in my *loungeroom*, shiiit, imagine feeling that in nature :)

My cat started miaowing and so, feeling so magnanimous and benevolent, I fed him dinner again.

I checked on my b/f, who said he was fine, not to worry. So I hopped on the computer then and made a few gushing entries which I'm laughing about today.

Slowly, slowly started to come down. The visuals left me first.... started to see normally... but was still left with a residual happiness and peace. I actually felt hungry! So I ate a peice of pizza and felt really happy about that too. Then I joined my b/f in bed (he'd put himself to bed by now - just too intense for him) and slept like a baby all night.

Today I feel fine. Mushies were NOTHING like I expected.... I expected so little, I guess; I'd always avoided them, thinking it would be some kind of head-fuck, but instead it was more like a pill only gentler. I can't wait to try them with MDMA next time, and in the company of others :) Outside!

haha nice one it does sound really similar. We also ordered a couple of pizzas around 12:30am and I reckon it would be awesome with some MDMA! not too much though cos I can see the rushes gettin out of control pretty easily.
