Please help - We ate mushrooms that produced a weird effect and it won't go away

How did you arrive at that idea, are there even any fungi besides ergot that produce it? If so, I wonder why it's not used for LSD manufacture or more well-known.

I'm glad to hear that you're doing ok, Seattle stranger! By now you must know that shroom hunting is a dangerous game but I understand that you trust a friend or her relative who is apparently a seasoned shroom hunter (although not as seasoned as he appeared!)

I have little hope of you finding out what species it was you ate... even if you'd still have samples of them...

It sounded like you something to get checked out but I'm not sure how alarming you should have felt after a day.
You say that other people were fine eating them... does that mean they tripped or did they not but just stayed healthy?
 
Well, a bit. That's why I chose words like "I think" and "might"

Yeah, it's speculating. But not based on nothing at all.
 
^^ Was mostly joshing, Mitchi. Hence the ;)

Click to expand...

Some shroomy toxins have a delayed reaction that can mean feeling fine for quite some considerable time then getting very ill very quick, I do believe. Always worth checking out and taking a sample of the fungus in question to the hospital if possible, in my opinion.
 
Lol. But yeah it was idiocy. Ergot is only found on cereal grains, I think.

So unless the mushroom-picker was WAY-off... =D
 
The others who used them said they produced no effects, but they didn't get any health issues either. Like I said, I was simply convinced they just didn't take enough.
 
another thing to remember is there is a non-zero chance that you get a bad allergic reaction to a particular species of mushroom for no reason at all. for digestibility all mushrooms should be cooked before eating (including common button-- raw on a salad those are gas-bombs waiting to happen)... this is why tea is a good thing, especially with a little honey, lemon, and ginger for kick.

also, we're not entirely sure what happens to psilocin when it degrades (in light, heat, and oxygen), but it could have negative health effects.
 
Not on mushrooms. I've eaten them 3 different times now, all three times to no avail. No effects. This is the only shoom-induced effect I ever experienced, and it sucked!!
 
what other psyches have you tripped on? perhaps your body has a variation of enzyme that destroys psilocin?
 
I've tried salvia, not sure if it counts. DXM maybe? Never done LSD although I'd like to. Closest things I've done to psychs would be DXM, MDMA and mephedrone and that's not very close.
 
interesting. some people find that their body works better with phens than trypts, perhaps you are one of these people.

definitely try acid, and if i were you i would look into the 2cs as well :)
 
If you've never had a successful mushroom trip despite multiple tries off multiple different batches, you may just have an unusual reaction to the compound - some rare enzyme that destroys it, as greenmeanies suggested, or maybe just a brain that doesn't respond to that particular form of 5HT2a agonist in the usual way.

At any rate, you've had your blood work done and everything so it should be pretty smooth sailing from here. In all likelihood it was nothing, but you can never be sure with hand-picked mushrooms (outside appearance isn't reliable enough to positively ID a mushroom even for an expert, let alone a 'hobbyist'), and the potential consequences of eating a poisonous cap and then not getting help are so severe, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

I used to shroom a lot but they sorta... stopped working for me after a while. I haven't experimented in years but basically, I took a break for a few months over the summer, started up next shroom season and all I got effects-wise, from multiple confirmed legitimate batches of different strains, was kind of like what you described - a not too pleasant general clumsy/intoxicated feeling, loss of coordination, I also vomited when trying higher doses... I don't know if it's some physiological mechanism that causes some of us to metabolize psilocin differently or what, and the effects followed a normal psilocin chronology (faded off within a few hours to the better part of a day depending on dose).
 
Got my blood results back, and everything looks good. Still going in tomorrow for another blood draw, and then a check up on Friday. I'm trying to get my hands on more of the shrooms so I can take a sample to my doctor...just for that much more confidence.

Thank you all for your support, this made me feel a lot better and you guys definitely helped sway me to go to the doctor. I'm going to be much, much more careful from now on.
 
I've had regular, home-grown Psilocybe mushrooms cause some vasoconstriction, leading to numbness in the extremities.
