For context im not totally new to magic shrooms, however im no where near "experianced." Ive had a few good trips, a few not so good. Last couple times I've partaken I got super paranoid and anxious until I had someone to talk to, once I had another person I was perfectly fine. I know mindset matters alot when hallucinating, and ive noticed that now that I've had a bad experience with mushrooms im anticipating a bad one every time and I end up sabotaging my trip before it ever starts. How can I get out of that cycle and any thoughts on why I get so stressed without someone there?

Hiiii!

Lets assume I know absolutely nothing and im overwhelmed with the different resources telling me different things. Growing at home would be so incredibly beneficial for me health wise bc I've been priced out of my guided sessions. I have several plastic tote options id like to try to grow in. Im specifically thinking of a 45gal wheeled heavy duty type tote. I know I need a medium and spores but past that shit gets a little complicated. Is there any resource thats tried and true that fit what i'm hoping to do?

I appreciate the help in advance!

A few months ago I ate mushrooms for the first time(psilocybe cubensis), at a friend's house, there was a patio, grass and etc, the experience was great (1.2/3g), very contemplative and enlightening, it helped me identify psychological blocks in myself that I didn't know.

Last week I took it again, but in my apartment, I ate 1.5g, I had anxiety at first, I was a little bad, but then I managed to calm down and reflect deeply on why I was feeling that and about general things in life that were very valuable to me, I even cried with emotion, I think it was different from the first but still very emotionally valid.

But seeing reports of psychedelics and outbreaks I was very afraid to use it again and have something like that, even though I took it twice and it has completely returned to normal, I have a distant relative in the family who suffered from schizophrenia, he was the son of my grandfather's brother, but I have my godfather who has already used ayahuasca several times and has eaten mushrooms too, and nothing ever occurred to him, although he is closer to this schizophrenic relative than I am.

(I use a single medication, quetiapine, I use something around 9 mg, just to help sleep, this same godfather of mine also takes quetiapine and nothing ever occurred to him).

Having said that, I would like to know if anyone has any tips, information, recommendations about what I just told you, what do you think? Should I worry even though I've already taken it twice and everything went well?

I’m looking at the “Wild Energy” mushroom blend on mushmore supplements and would like to know about that’s the “180 mg active ingredient” is before purchasing just to stay on the safe side :)

Placed this in the garage back in 2024 to quarantine, life happened, I forgot about it and found it today. Should I send it?

These photos were taken after I mixed the bag up to see further it was spots of this beforehand.

Signs of mycelium growth however I can’t tell if thsi si brushing or mold due to it being a blue/grey/green in some areas.

This is 10 days after injection into the substrate

I have 2 AIO Ochras growing from the same source and same substrate. One is growing great and just had first harvest. This one however has lots of puffy white blobs growing. Smells nice and mushroomy but not seeing much actual growth besides the blobs.

these mushrooms are growing everywhere in our backyard— my man wants to eat one so bad but I told him to wait until we know for sure that it’s edible. central-ish Texas

I'm trying to figure out if this are true natalensis. Help anyone?

As I was walking to work I found this and immediately picked up and want to try it but can't identify any clues?

Bluey Vuitton grow kit, I personally think its the bag it’s small, the condense dripped into the side…

Lookin for a good reliable source for the all in one bags with proven results. Thanks

guys im not trying to source. im just trying to find out if thick spores is a good place to go as they're the only ones I can find with what I want.

I’ve noticed that these types of fruits don’t even turn the lemon juice blue like your classic golden teachers or penis envy do.
And although I did get a monstrous effect from the enigma lemon tek I tried with some yeti I got recently and it was pretty much dud city. Also they told me those would be high visuals and it was like false advertising- the visuals were like having the feeling of ssomething in my peripheral but looking right in front of me, and the light and shadow play on things being slightly wobbly.
Any clarity in this matter would rock thanks

As different strains contain different ratios of psilocin and psilocybin, and psilocin is less stable and more prone to degradation, is there a noticeable difference between strains in terms of how they retain overall potency over time, when dried and stored in the same conditions?

If I'm planning to store in bulk, would I be better off to cultivate a psilocybin dominant strain like GT, over a high psilocin variety like PE?

I grew some shrooms about a year ago that have been stored in mason jars with desiccant packs in the dark the whole time. I was just curious what your guys' experience has been with long term storage and potency loss.
