The Big & Dandy Psilocybin Mushrooms Thread

the issue with looking at ur own image in the mirror while tripping is that people have difficulty dealing with the image distortion the psychedelics can cause. Combine that with the fact that when looking in the mirror, the image that is distorted is your own face, while ur thought paterns feel distorted while looking at your distorted face just plays upon each other.
Mirrors just can be confusing and sometimes disturbing to look at while tripping. But some people find them incredibly interesting.......I would use caution with mirrors!!!

Idk I think half of that is just expecting and being told that it will be frightening, I've never had something extremely negative come up from staring through my eyes. :) I've had some intense mind journeys, but fuck if they're not seriously worthwhile.
 
id posts are against the rules. if you aren't sure that they're cubes than they most likely aren't. looking at those pictures i can say they are not. these kind of posts are better suited for the very knowledgeable community at the shroomery
 
feels good to be back

thats all i have to say about tonight's ongoing exp.

it's like a homecoming. such a distinctive space and state of mind, so much focus, no mental drift like with cannabis sometimes.
 
^^ i havent done mushroms for over 20 years and was welcomed back, with assurances of kindness and love

sounds strange i know, i intended to go and hang out where i picked them, but ended up about 1 mile away, i heard the shrooms i had eaten saying that it didn't matter, i was close enough to the source for them, they had a kind of giggly good natured voice. they all spoke in unison
 
caps better than stems?

i'm getting shrooms tomorrow and have a choice between getting an eighth of stems and caps mixed or an eighth of just caps.

is it true that caps contain more psilocybin?
 
I find the opposite to be true, but that's probably just me. Until I see a study that says one has more than the other I wouldn't care. Good mushies will have you floored regardless. Have fun and be safe :).
 
Here we are:

wikipedia said:
The concentrations of psilocin and psilocybin, determined by high-performance liquid chromatography, were determined to be in the range of 0.14–0.42%/0.37–1.30% (dry weight) in the whole mushroom, 0.17–0.78%/0.44–1.35% in the cap and 0.09–0.30%/0.05–1.27% in the stem.

So yes it's true that caps contain SLIGHTLY more, but it's not significant at all.

I guess if they cost the same get the caps but don't bother if there's a price difference; it's just the dealer trying to make a quick buck.
 
any difference in potency between a stem and a cap of the same mushroom (disregarding the size/weight difference between stem v. cap, obviously) will be, as uniter said, negligible.
the only thing I can think of is that caps are perhaps a bit more dense so they might contain more psilocybin than a stem with the same surface area, but that won't matter since you're buying by weight.

some people say the two produce slightly different effects, the stem producing more of a body high and the caps more of a mental/visual high. I can't find any evidence that would support that being true, though, and I haven't noticed a difference.

If you're prone to nausea, stems might be the better choice. Caps can reportedly cause nausea in some people because of the scales.
 
Why don't you go ahead and buy the caps, then check if the experience is particularly mental or visual. :)
 
Set & setting affects way more than whether you eat caps or stems.

Yeah caps contain a bit more alkaloids but the difference is marginal. If you were given a dose of either caps or stems in a double blind setting I'm willing to bet not one person on this board would notice the difference.
 
indeed, the difference between caps and stems is totally neglible. As is one being more "mental" and one more "physical".....the alkaloids (and proportions thereof) are distrbuted evenly.....both psilocin, psilocybin, the NMT substituents, etc, are all synthesised in the mycelium in the earliest days of primordia formation. Most people do know notice a markedly different experience from ingesting primordia and small, immature mushrooms. Not only are they much more potent by weight but the experience reaks of something different, maybe more fragile alkaloids that dont make it to maturity, who knows....when in doubt, double the dose;)
 
I've always heard caps were a little stronger, but not significantly at all. Plus most people think caps are nicer(their appearance) than stems and that is why they enjoy them more? From my personal experience of course.

Personally, my mushrooms eating days are over... unless they are put into my amazing drug smoothie of fun:]
