Help! What did I just take? Psilocybin or Amanita Muscaria?

are you sure that recommending ~7g of dried mushrooms to a stranger who hasn't taken any psychedelics before is a good idea?

Good warning. I am a 46 year veteran of psychedelics. I took 3 grams of some incredibly strong mushrooms recently (lemon tek took all of it too) and it was too much for the first hour. Had to ride it out. By hour 2 things got more comfy and euphoric. But it was way strong. Mushrooms have different ranges of potency. Assume they are strong.
 
Mushroom potency is a lot more variable than people think.

I once grew these devilish little penis envy aborts that were almost pitch black in color. They looked sickly, not what people want to buy... but 1g of those felt like 10g of regular mushrooms, I'm not even joking.

One thing the layman doesn't understand is that mushroom fruits produce the same amount of psilocybin no matter how large they grow. The big shrooms are significantly less potent by weight. The small, decrepit little ones will FUCK. YOU. UP.

Interesting, it was only recently I heard the term aborts. I am technically a lay person (or at least not that knowledgeable on growing) so I did not know the tiny ones can be that strong. But this is something we should all know now that legalization is upon us.

I didn't know about them myself until I obsessed myself with growing various strains.

Afterwards, I will always go for the tiny little fruits. The dark ones.

Purple = potency, size doesn't matter :)
 
I had access to a super-potent "Equadorian" strain which tended to be 2-3X typical potency to begin with. They were ugly in appearance, all twisted and mashed, and I usually ground them to powder. This also made dosing much more convenient and reliable. I could load them into (I think) size "O" capsules. Each held 250 mg, and a bottle of them was indistinguishable from any other sort of "herbal" supplement. One capsule worth gave a good body high. Two gave some visuals. Four capsules gave me a strong trip. (I'm a lightweight with mushrooms anyway.) The most I took was 1.5 g. Some people I know liked taking full 2g to really fly. :)

Anyway, one day I planned to go for a nice long walk with some friends and decided to nibble on some mushrooms I'd found that had been stashed and forgotten about for many years. They were not powdered and were mostly aborts. I chose a little piece, weighed it (.175 g IIRC), and decided it ought to work ok for a mild buzz. Even if it was double strength, I'd probably be fine, right? Just in case, I decided to delay our departure for 10 minutes after I ate it. Good thing too, because in 10 minutes I was coming up hard! I was totally blasted and tripped for 8 solid hours, suggesting a big dose indeed since all my other were done by 6 hours. And this was from a 175 mg abort.

I won't do mushrooms again unless I've been able to powder and titrate the batch.
 
So **no sourcing please** cannot be trusted. Since amanitas are legal in US, I assume that it would not be against the rules to ask if anybody has heard of a vendor that can?

Unfortunately, no. Vendors sell all sorts of things and laws are different in every country.
 
visually the photo is like regular penis envy not albino penis envy. and not amanita, the website is goofy.


the peanut butter sandwich looks good, but lately I have been putting a similar amount in dealcoholized beer for 20 minutes and squeezing the shrooms at the 10 minute mark to make sure I am getting everything out. The drink is very easy to take. I throw the wet shrooms away after squeezing into the drink.

effects can vary a lot.
and that can be therapeutic as well, i.e. facing the unexpected with honest openness.
