Smoking Mushrooms?

I once heard of people smoking mushrooms to get high. That was the only time I ever heard of it, and I've never heard anyone mention smoking mushrooms again. Until I read that, I always thought that mushrooms HAD to be eaten.

I guess smoking them would be POSSIBLE, but you'd probably have to smoke so much that you'd pass out before you even started tripping.

Thoughts? Experiences?
 
Theres recently been a shooting mushrooms thread and a snorting mushrooms thread so naturally there would be a new smoking mushrooms thread to pop up ;)

AFAIK the heat would destroy the tryptamines and render this a futile roa. But I've never tried it myself so I cant say with any personal experience.
 
it's quite possible the active compounds can be vaporized to some extent, but psilocin and related compounds are probably highly degraded compared to the small amount that might go up in smoke.

i can't imagine how acrid the taste of fungal smoke would be, not to mention the health hazard of inhaling a lungful of microscopic spores. (i'm not saying that you could get some kind of infection as fungus are highly substrate-specific, but i imagine that it's about as much fun for your body to deal with as inhaling any other type of small, hard foreign objects)

Just a note, in Teachings of Don Juan, Carlos Castaneda talks about "humito", the little smoke that appears to be prepared from psilocybe mushrooms. Who knows what the other ingredients are, or how much of the story is made up for that matter.
 
actually, while Castaneda talked about smoking mushrooms, he did not specify what kind. like bardo5 said, heat destroys the active tryptamines psilocybin and psilocyn, so they wouldn't really do anything except fuck up your lungs.
 
Now wait a minute... many years ago I did just this, smoked a full bowl of dried chopped shrooms,, the dark small ones. It must have been one hell of a placebo effect, but I DID trip. Somewhat mild and short lived but all the signals sights and sounds were there albeit 'stifled and odd headed' is how I would best describe it. It did something.
 
i watch and read stuff about shrooms and LSD all the time, every source ive heard has said this is a waste as high temeperatures destroy the active ingrediants. :/
 
Once upon a time in the west country we smoked a load of dried mushies in a bong.....tasted absolutely foul and had zer0 to placebo effect with a bit of nausea thrown in. Waste of shrooms imho.
 
Smoking mushrooms subthread here

You can find such a thing by visiting the Psychedelic Index, big blue blinking link at the top of the main PD page, then going to the Big & Dandy Mushrooms Thread, then proceeding to the subthread which is listed in that OP. Thanks.

Their are very very tiny amounts of there other compounds in the mushrooms that are not active orraly but do work when smoked but the amounts are so trace and minisule that even smokeing large amount of the fungus wont give you much more than a light head and placebo effect.
