Maybe if someone’s started a 2019 mushroom season thread this could be moved there, but I’m having trouble finding it at the moment, due to more important information.
And here it is.
Psilosybe subs are around, and have been for a few weeks. Some call them the winter shroom. Other drug slang used for the same product include blue meanies, gold or golden tops.
These names are just that, slang, and I could see how loss in Aussie translation has led us down the road of arguing over a name that’s not real. Grow up. There’s no scientific blue meanie, or a golden top in Australia. Anyway. To get that off my chest.
The other shroom found up north is the psilosybe cubensis. Slightly weaker per weight, and pop out in the warmer months (don’t quote me on that. I’m a southerner, the subs are my specialty).
Ok, now, congrats on identifying these gifts from Mother Nature. Not that I helped that, with the above. But identifying isn’t why I’m here today.
I’m here to express my dissatisfaction with the respect for these wonderful things.
I’ve been to 4 of my great spots that I have visited for the past 6-7 years. These spots have kept me as happy as I need for a year each harvest.
Now, either people need re education on this, or need to listen up.
I take no more than 20%-%30 of whats there, some years have yielded massive, some not so. But its always enough. I do know others have used these spots in the past too. So it’s not like I feel their only mine.
But here’s a fact, you pull that mushroom out of the ground like a carrot....guess what..? You’ve just destroyed part of a mycelium system that could have grown many a shroom for years to come. Use sissors to cut them.
Leave pins, pins are small subs that haven’t had the opportunity to break their veil and spread their spores. It’s greedy to take these. Many more could come from letting it grow. Yes they look cool, and are fairly potent, but please, leave them be.
Have some respect for one of nature’s greatest gifts peoples. Or they’ll die out like the fkn coral reef.
And for those who don’t take them due to just wanting profit, and by avoiding broadening your mind, wake up. Put the glassy down. And I sarcastically hope you don’t end up needing special services to get you out of a mineshaft.
Thanks for your time peeps. Keep safe and happy tripping.
