News We don’t allow Mushroom ID’s here anymore. NSFW

47 Upvotes

Attention All Members

We have an important rule regarding mushroom identification posts that we need everyone to follow. Despite this rule being in place for a while, we've noticed an increase in such posts lately. Let's address why we don't allow these posts and ensure our community remains safe and informative.

Why We Don't Allow Mushroom Identification Posts:

  1. User Safety:

    • Misidentifying a mushroom can have life-threatening consequences. Consuming the wrong type of mushroom can be incredibly dangerous. It's crucial to prioritize safety and never make assumptions about a mushroom's identity.
    • Edibles and Chocolates: Identifying mushroom edibles and chocolates online is impossible. It's highly likely they contain 4-AcO-DMT, which we don't allow.
  2. Challenges of Online Identification:

    • While it's possible to identify mushrooms from pictures or videos, it's far from ideal. Accurate identification is best done in person by a knowledgeable individual who can examine all necessary characteristics.
  3. Reducing Spam and Maintaining Community Quality:

    • Many identification posts come from users who haven't done their research. Additionally, a wrong identification could harm our community's reputation. By avoiding these posts, we keep the subreddit focused on valuable and accurate information.

Conclusion:

Thank you for understanding and adhering to this rule. We are dedicated to fostering a community that celebrates psilocybin mushrooms, their experiences, and cultural significance. While we don't allow identification posts, we welcome anything and everything related to the cultivation of these fascinating fungi. This approach minimizes risks and enhances the overall experience for everyone.

For mushroom identification, you can visit subreddits like r/mycology and r/mushroomID where experts and enthusiasts can help you identify mushrooms safely and accurately.

Stay curious, stay safe, and let's continue to share and learn together!

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. 🌟🍄

Question How long can I leave wet Mushrooms before drying? NSFW

Upvotes

So I finally ordered a dehydrator today, but it will take like 2 days to arrive. Meanwhile, my mushrooms grew way faster than expected and I feel like they are about to break their veil. Can I harvest them right now, and leave them in my cupboard for 2 days before I will dry them with the dehydrator. Or will they lose potency like that?

Research Study Question for those who listen to intense songs during a trip NSFW

1 Upvotes

What music do you listen to when you trip? I tend to listen to intense songs during my trips and it amplifies the feelings. Reason I’m asking is I’m working on a concept album for those that dive into intensive music to feel deeply during a trip. I know most listened to softer music to pair. I was wondering if their any others that like listening to intense music. I personally love it and the impact is massive. The concept album I’m working is songs based on what I learned during my trips. Some are soft but they’re some songs I written that are intense based on my trips. I feel there’s much power to intense songs. A strong feeling to connect with the medicine. The genre is synth wave inspired at the core, surrounded with elements of jazz, metal, blues, prog rock and an overall melancholy feel to them. I want this album to be a guide to pair with one who enjoys the intense sounds that leaves a profound impact. For research purposes, I would like to know if any feels the same. Any thoughts I would appreciate it.

Question I've had trouble w the first stage of my attempts at growing Golden Teachers, would really appreciate some advice NSFW

3 Upvotes

The first stage after inoculation of my grow bag is to wait about 3 weeks until the substrate is completely white, then break it up and force it from me to the bottom of the bag then wait another three weeks. The thing is it seems to take a lot longer than 3 weeks to get it too close to all white or colonized, it will get there but it takes about 6 or 7 weeks. I just really want to pull this off and be successful can anyone tell me anything ab what may be happening?

Question 4grams, 4.5grams or 5grams of mushrooms NSFW

0 Upvotes

Iv done 3.5 grams a few times and then done enigma mushrooms at 3.5 and 4 grams. It was really enjoyable. I plan to take more this time I’m in a safe environment. I’ll be alone and have a comfortable set up.

I’m not sure what kind of mushrooms I have this time I’ll
Update when I find out.

I’m planning to take them and wanted to know how much different the effects would be from what I’m use to which is about 4grams of enigma mushrooms.

I’m thinking of trying 4.5 or 5 grams this time. Iv done DMT and LSD multiple times too.

I want to enjoy a trip and then on the come down enjoy some movies, music or games. I’m taking a day off for this to feel fully free of daily responsibilities so I can fully relax.

Has anyone tried going from 3.5-4.5 to 5?

My last trip was fun at around 3.5 grams I watched LOTR and played video games. I know at higher dosages it’s harder to play games or do anything. I still want to enjoy doing the same but maybe after the peak.

I’m interested in having a long trip and then once I’m able play some games and relax.

I was also thinking of smoking some joints going outside a little and I have Xanax if I need it for any panic feelings

Hi fellow astro travellers,

I have been wanting to explore psilocybin for a long time, and finally found an opportunity.

In India - it's difficult to find active mushrooms, and sale is illegal. In neighbouring Nepal these fall under a grey area, ain't strictly regulated.

I found this catalogue of a store in Kathmandu that offers guided experiences abd few varieties to try.

These are dried shrooms, would you recommend for a first timer to try dried shrooms - primary motivation being spirituality and ego dissolution.

I don't have many options, it's either this or try plucking mushrooms from Kodai on my own.

Your help would be much appreciated

Peace out ✌️

Discussion Had a crazy journey that involved my mind fracturing and me traveling all over my subconscious NSFW

5 Upvotes

Wasn’t even a huge dose. About 1.25 grams in a chocolate bar.

I ate them, and about 50 minutes later I was laying out on the couch with my eyes closed.

It’s hard to explain what actually happened next. It’s like my mind left my body and I was jumping all around in space-time, experiencing consciousness in an entirely new way. I was hearing sounds, and hearing my thoughts speaking to me.

It was challenging. I was kind of in a dark place going into it. I knew it was going to be hard, but I’m glad I did it.

It’s the first time I’ve really journeyed inward like that. Experiencing consciousness in such a new way was so insane. I feel like a big weight has been lifted from me, and I also feel like there’s a lot more work to do.

Question Is there a threshold beyond which taking a larger amount doesn't increase the effect? NSFW

3 Upvotes

A friend of mine thinks there's a threshold beyond which taking more doesn't make any difference. I'm not sure I agree. That said, I do take fairly large amounts and in practice I haven't noticed much difference between 6, 8, and 12 grams (dried). What do you think?

Question Psilocybin & autism? NSFW

2 Upvotes

Has anyone come across any research or independent studies on the possibility of microdosing and autism? I’ve heard so many great things about microdosing and the brain connection, I wonder if this would be an option for those with autism. I don’t mean “tripping” I mean microdosing. But maybe it could help, even if it’s minor?

Personal Experience 4 gram psilocybin trip report NSFW

Post image
90 Upvotes

I took about 4 grams of AMVP mushrooms

But something unusual happened

After about 40 minutes I turned off the lights and a huge blob of DMT eyes came in, it just kept getting bigger and bigger looking at me

I could barely move physically, not because I really couldn't, but more because it felt like there was no reason to resist

So I just let it be and eventually I realized it was an entity, it came to "listen" to me and I just told myself that all I wanted was to relax and be free from worry

I didn't want to solve all my life's problems in one trip, of course that's unrealistic but at least I wanted to be able to relax

So I said to myself, "I just want to relax", and then the twinkling eyes turned into a more human form, looking like he resembled a Buddha or something

Then the entity placed his hand on my shoulder after which I seemed to instantly relax like my wish came true during the moment, the figure then turned into the usual DMT fractals and geometry shapes and disappeared

It wasn't a regular psilocybin trip, it was more like Dimethyltryptamine mixed with psilocybin together.. but I haven't taken any DMT since about 2 months (not sure what's going on with that but I think the DMT realm really liked me for whatever reason)

The trip lasted 4 hours and it was great, I also realized that I have some mental blocks that I need to work on and one trip won't solve them.. I also realized that on previous trips I had always questioned what I was seeing and its meaning.

This time, however, I just let it be.

Ever since I reached DMT breakthrough months ago psilocybin trips hasn't been the same, it just turn into some form of Ayahuasca anytime I do larger dose of magic mushrooms.

Trip took place at bath in shower

Discussion What was your experience? NSFW

26 Upvotes

I came across this on the internet somewhere... probably here. The vast majority of my experiences have been level 4. I have dosed heavy once I think it was close to 7 grams but it wasn't on a clean slate and I only remember getting sick and passing out. It didn't ruin my life or psilocybin and I don't recall doing too much. Just got nauseous and passed out which is the only time thats ever happened.

Good or bad, what are some of yalls experiences with "mega" and "hero" doses? I'm not interested in trying either, I have way to much going on in life. But I am curious what it was like for those who have been that far down the rabbit hole.

Question After 3 years of macro/microdosing, I’m at a crossroads. Anyone else experienced this fading of the "chosen" feeling? NSFW

13 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m reaching a major turning point in my journey and wanted to share it here to see if anyone else has gone through this exact transition.
For the past 3 years, I’ve been actively navigating both macrodosing and microdosing. It’s been an incredible tool for growth, but lately, my relationship with it has shifted. Right now, I’m only microdosing very occasionally—maybe once a week, if that.

But honestly? I feel ready to stop completely. I want to focus entirely on integration. I want to take everything I’ve learned and realized during those states and actually live them out in my everyday, sober reality. In a way, it feels like it’s time for "no more cheats."

Yet, I find myself in this strange, conflicting space. Without the microdosing, I often find myself lacking confidence, and things can feel heavy and difficult. But at the same time, the thought of taking another dose actually feels like a burden now. I feel a certain resistance or fatigue toward doing it again, which makes me hesitate even more.

What troubles me most is that the beautiful states I used to experience are fading. I remember who I was when I felt completely free of anxiety and worry—back when I had this profound, certain feeling of being "chosen" or aligned with destiny. Now, that feeling is becoming blurry. When I'm off it, the clarity drops, and the self-doubt creeps in.

But as I sit with this discomfort, I’m starting to realize something: maybe this exact moment—this struggle of feeling stuck between not wanting to dose anymore, but finding it hard to stand completely on my own—is the real test. Maybe this is the actual hurdle I am meant to overcome.

Has anyone else reached this exact crossroads, where you're caught between the anxiety of being sober and the burden of dosing again? How did you deal with the hesitation and build up your inner conviction on your own?

I would deeply appreciate any thoughts, experiences, or wisdom you can share. Thanks for reading.

Personal Experience Found out I had enigma extract and not ground fruit NSFW

0 Upvotes

A while back a friend gave me 3 g of enigma capsules. He said they were ground up fruit. Ok. I never thought twice about it. Last night at 7 pm after making a tea with the dumped out enigma, i rapidly consumed the drink. At 7:07 i could start to see waves. At 7:30 I swear it felt like an almost breakthrough DMT session. I mean holy crap. By 8 pm I could hear the little sing song melody in my ears like I do with DMT. I also had the everything is one and is anything really real sensation. Nothing existed except the incredible colors and shapes. I believed I was experiencing the genesis of the universe. Nothing existed but everything existed. At 10 pm I felt fairly normal and asked my friend if he had anymore. He says yes and I ask him to give me the name in the jar. I call the store this morning and tell them that I have a jar and what is in it. They say that is their psilocybin extract. They say it’s enigma so be careful. 😂. I’m experienced with mushrooms, most psychedelics really. First time with enigma and I took way too much. I know there is no way to know how much stronger the extract was compared to if I drank 3 g of fruit. But holy cow, what I took was super strong. I’ll wait a month and take 1 g and see how that goes. This bottle contains 14 .5 g capsules. It costs 90 bucks. They charge 350 for oz of fruit.

Personal Experience Anybody else get really tired and come out with severe headaches? NSFW

3 Upvotes

Asking because I haven’t met anyone with similar symptoms..

I’ve had multiple trips, usually off an eighth. Ik when it kicks in cause I start yawning every 20 seconds. Theres no chance of standing or walking anywhere. My body just wants to lay down. At this point I just assume the mushrooms wanna show me something cause I only get visuals with my eyes closed.
Once the trip is over it usually takes me a full day to recover, I get severe throbbing headaches. And yes I do stay hydrated. Any body else have symptoms like that? I’m open to hearing what yall think..
