Ok I can barely focus on the screen right now, I'm really scared.

My gf's roommate's uncle is a seasoned mushroom picker and he came back with a box full of mushrooms. They came from the Seattle area, and in a search I found a picture of cyanesence shrooms from Seattle that looked exactly like what I have. They ate them a few times and said they didn't work but I didn't think they were eating enough. So I got some for my and my gf (gf already ate them twice) and we both ate 3 grams. Wait 2.5 hours, no effect. I ate another gram, no effect. Drank another 3 grams of tea, finally feeling something. Starting to get eye jitters, heavy limbs, feeling really drunk, discoordinated. I'm quite mushroom nieve and my experienced friend said these were not typical effects and he was concerned.

It is now +12 hours later, I have slept, and the effects have not worn off!! I can barely type this, my arms are hard to move.

Please help me!!!
 
Go to the hospital!

You can suffer permanent damage from this if its something nasty.

It sounds like youve eaten some poisonous mushrooms, which can be pretty dangerous especially when you dont know what it is. Random mushrooms can contain some very toxic stuff which can result in permanent damage to your body.
 
Are you sure this isn't a hangover? Admittedly, the more I wake up (drinking coffee as we speak) the effects are slowly subsiding, but still, why do I still feel weird?? And what the fuck did I eat?

I don't feel sick or confused or anything like that, I simply just feel like it's hard to focus on things and my limbs feel heavy. Like I said, typing this reply is already 10x easier than the OP was.

I'm not out of the woods yet. I'm still a little scared.
 
ONE GRAM of dry psilocybe cyanescens should be PLENTY to trip your face off.

DO NOT EAT any mushrooms you cannot 100% POSITIVELY IDENTIFY.
WEB SEARCH of pictures is NOT POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION.

Ps. cyanescens is an AUTUMN shroom, it shows up between september and november in seattle. in my experience, everybody omnomnoms their stash before february, and there is a severe shroom drought during the summer here.

were the mushrooms dried when you got them? dry shrooms are even more difficult to identify. i hope you saved a few specimens.

GO TO A HOSPITAL and tell them you ate mushrooms that you thought were edible. YOU DO NOT WANT LIVER FAILURE!
 
I should add that 3 different people have tried eating these on 3 different occasions, with two of them having eaten them twice, about 3 weeks ago, and no one has gotten sick. My gf ate them before and was fine. She ate them for the second time with me last night and she said this didn't happen to her last time, but this time she feels really weird.
 
How you react is up to you, but nobody is going to risk advising you NOT to visit a doctor.

If it were me, and my symptoms had improved dramatically in the hour since I got up then I would wait another hour and review.

As I'm advising you though; you should go and see a doctor...
 
I think you can chill dude. If other people have taken the same ones and not been hurt by them, then you're probably safe, especially since you're not experiencing any vomiting or diarrhea. I can only offer one possible explaniation for your simptoms. Try looking into something called HPPD. "Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder or HPPD is a disorder characterized by a continual presence of visual disturbances that are reminiscent of those generated by the ingestion of hallucinogenic substances." Straight from Wiki. I hope this helps.
 
Thank you guys. It's subsiding still but I still don't feel right. I'm going to call my doctor and have him check me out regardless.

This was a very stupid thing to do.
 
If you're still on here;

GET YOURSELF TO A FUCKING DOCTOR OR HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY.


if you do not you are risking liver failure, or DEATH.
this is a serious matter, the hospital or doctor will not care about your drug use, they are there to help.
they will NOT call the police.

explain to them the situation and if possible, take along the mushrooms you had (if theres any left) to help them better understand what kind you took.
lookalike strains can be FATAL.


lesson here; do not go out and pick & eat wild mushrooms unless you are a seasoned mycologist who knows what the fuck they are doing, and have positively identified them.
 
Just to clarify, I received these from my gf's roommate. Her uncle is a seasoned picker and does it every season. Both her uncle, her two roommates, and my gf herself all ate these previously and are just fine. I would've NEVER eaten them without this knowledge. Also, I just want to make sure that I don't seem like a complete idiot, I am what I would like to think a smart and cautious drug user. I do my research, I ask questions, I investigate, as I did with these. Apparently I should have done more digging.

Having said that, I just went to my doctor and he ran a bunch of tests. He is not worried, however he took blood and is going to take blood again on Thursday, with another check up on Friday. I'm not going to mess around with this, I'm going to make sure I'm ok. Also, he said he's not upset with me and he can clearly see that I was remorseful and I understood that I made a poor decision and it isn't going to happen again.

Never ever again. Never. This is just not worth it.

Thanks again for all the support guys. I'll write a trip report later on, hopefully it will warn others of the dangers.
 
so the mushrooms were dried before you got them? and since they are local shrooms, they are probably from september.

it is possible:
1. dried improperly, so the 4g you ate was actually only 1g of fully dried shroom
2. stored improperly, so the 4g you ate was degraded/oxidised to zilch
3. moldy/bacterial infection on the mushrooms giving you negative effects

were the shrooms bendy or cracker-like? shrooms should only be stored when 100% cracker-dry or there is a serious risk of disgusting and dangerous growth.

i'm glad you're feeling better. IMO the best experience with these mushrooms is with fresh specimens still dripping with rain. they taste excellent and produce a wonderful euphoric trip.
 
Definitely get checked out, I'd say. Messin' with mushies that are not 100% properly identified is a very dangerous game. Seems you probably got lucky if others are okay after eating them previously but it's not a game to be playing. If you don't know with cast iron certainty what mushrooms you have don't take them cos it's not worth the stress even if you only get a gut ache. Glad things seem to have worked out okay :)

EDIT: Doh! I see you already got checked out. The last sentence is still relevant at least :D
 
Yes, they were dried. They weren't twig-dry, but as dry as any other shrooms I've seen/eaten.

Like I was saying, I really do think I took good precaution here. I can't help but feel foolish though...
 
I think you might have eaten a mushroom containing Ergotamine.

It is a potent vasoconstrictor. But it will also make you trip.
