Shrooms

[yankee1231]

I have some questions about shrooms.
1. Are there any short/long term effects? memory loss? lost brain cells? i heard if you do shrooms a lot it will put a hole in your stomach.

2. How good are the trips? I heard that good trips are good, but bad trips are fucking terrible. Is there a way to garentee a good trip?

3. Ingesting? They make you throw up when you eat them? Are you not supposed to eat them with food? If not, should you eat before or after?

4. Anything else you can tell me that would be helpfull.

All I have to say is make sure you got the right damn kind because simply put, The wrong kind will kill your ass.

Eating a lot of shrooms will not put a hole in your stomach. Trips can be amazing and yes bad trips can be frightening, but with a positive mindset a bad trip can be easily turned around.

Tips for a good trip are mindset and setting, pick a place you won't be disturbed and feel comfortable. Make a note of the time that you consume the shrooms so if things start turning bad you'll have a good idea of how far into the trip you are and when you'll start coming down. Don't eat anything for a few hours prior to eating the shrooms. Have some water and some snacks on hand as you can get a bit of dry mouth and the munchies.

Don't take more than 3.5g (dry weight) of p.cubensis for your first time.
A good way of preparing the shrooms is to make a tea, it goes down easy and you come up fast. Line a cup with a coffee filter and break up the shrooms and put them into the cup. Fill with hot water (about 50c - 60c NOT boiling water if the water starts turning blue the water is too hot) leave for about 5-10min. When you're ready to drink pull out the filter and let the excess drain into the cup. Now you have a brew without any slimy bits of shroom in it. Drink it as is or add a little sugar to it.

You'll peak in about 15-25min and plateau for about 2 hours then start coming down over another 2 hour. (these time are just estimates as everybody is different)

For more info check out the shroomery and erowid.

In a word, no. There are no long term effects. Short term effects include a psychedelic high, hopefully.

2. How good are the trips? I heard that good trips are good, but bad trips are fucking terrible. Is there a way to garentee a good trip?

Trips are what you make of them. They can be good or bad. If you're seriously worried though then you already have a bad set (I presume you've read about set and setting) and maybe now is not the best time to try mushrooms.

3. Ingesting? They make you throw up when you eat them? Are you not supposed to eat them with food? If not, should you eat before or after?

As a general rule, psychedelic msuhrooms taste terrible and can cause nausea. Sometimes an empty stomach can aid this, but other routes (like ginger, or weed) are probably more effective.

4. Anything else you can tell me that would be helpfull.

Research more. Clearly you're a bit in the dark about psychedelics and that a bad way to go into a trip. Personally, if I were you, I'd leave it off a few years but at the very least have a better grasp of what you're getting into.

thanks, everyone has been really helpfull. I will wait a bit before I try these (or just let my bro try them first lol)

ive done shrooms many times

the trips feel like they last a long time but they only last 3-6 hours depending on what kind of shrooms and the dosage

the only health concern other than loss of brain cells is if you get shrooms with white gills (death caps)

witch will make you die of liver failure

witch will RARELY OR NEVER happen
just dont buy shrooms from people you dont know!


heat can kill the stuff in shrooms that gets you high

shrooms have verry little odd smell they dont smell bad though.

dont eat on an empty stomach or you will get naucious.



if you want to start tripping but not too hard i suggest taking an 8th

if you just want to see patterns colliding and sutch take half an 8th

i recomend one of those 2 for a first timer

but if you want to trip hard 3 8ths is the way to go
for less chance of a bad trip take a smaller dosage or do it in a place with a positive attitude


if you drink orange juce when you eat them it boosts the trip

and remember ITS NOT LIKE ACID
this is a verry common mistake, you dont lose all sense of realaty unless you take a verry verry high dosage.

you will be able to controll yourself.


i hope the information i provided helped if you have any further questions pm me and ill help you out :]

that is not true most of the time people grow them themselves indoors
although they can grow wildly in cow poo.

DONT EAT WILD SHROOMS becouse theres a chance they could be contaminated witch is BAD

[willi-wurm]

hey all.... im very interested in shrooms. i have some questions:

first of all, would they grow in germany? where i live it doesnt snow, but i doesnt get too hot either.

also, apparently, diazepam kills trips. dont mix! or only mix if your trippin baaaad...

could anyone give me a very exact description with photos?
i want to go shroom hunting [:

i was looking at shroomery, but it wasnt always clear.

[Pspeters]

Finding shrooms in the wild is just not worth it. It could easily kill you.
I suggest growing them yourself. Its reletively easy.

go to Shroomery - Magic Mushrooms (Shrooms) Demystified

for instructions.

The only hard part is finding the spores.

[willi-wurm]

thanks for the reply. my only problem, is i live in europe. very tight pussies on drugs here. but i do live close to holland, does that help me?

[deadlyvenom]

ya but suppose i was to find some in the wild then use those to grow other ones. does anyone have any tips

[Pspeters]

willi-wurm: I have no idea if that helps. You can order what is called a spore print. its a peice of paper with spores on it. Im pretty sure these can be mailed to you with no hassles.
Fo syringes...
One way that i hear works, is to order a spore syringe off the internet, and get it shipped to a PO box. I hear that it passes the security checks.

deadlyvenom: If you found the correct species of mushroom, you could use the spores. But since the mushroom has been exposed to lots of bacteria, it would be hard to use the live tissue for innoculation because you would most likely get unwanted bacteria growing with your mycelium/shrooms. Another thing to worry about is weird strains, which i dont know much about.
follow this link to alot of information about mushroom hunting...
Shroomery - Find Mushrooms

just be careful!

[deadlyvenom]

i saw a video on the internet on which srooms are good and bad. I am pretty sure that nthese ones are correct small caramel colored top white stalk brown gills and it grew in a cluster.

Much too vague. If that's the sum of information you based your identification on then you haven't a clue.

Willi-worm, there's a section in The Shroomery that lists psychedelic drugs that grow in different parts of Europe. When I was researching the mushrooms that grew in Ireland I listed them and studied every method of identifying them. Then I compared them to dangerous or useless but similar species. I was fairly confident I could identify what I wanted when I went searching. Never did though...

Also, mushrooms aren't plants, they're fungi. Therefore the methods by which you culture plants might not be applicable. Research mushroom cultivation before you plant cuttings or something. I imagine The Shroomery has everything you need.

Edit; on second thoughts, The Shroomery is layed out fairly badly for a beginner. WHen in doubt, Erowid;
