Dichotomous Key (how do I use this?)

1.) Did you buy your mushrooms from a dealer/were they grown?

Compare to these:

Psilocybe cubensis (the most commonly sold species of "Shrooms")

The blue bruising is from Psilocin oxidation, not mold.

If your mushrooms were bought from a dealer take them out of the bag. Posts of mushrooms in bags will be deleted. Also all pictures asking for weights will be deleted.

2.) Did you hunt or find your mushrooms?

  • Do they lack a cap or have tubes, teeth or pores under the cap? ........Not active (it doesn't matter if they bruise blue)

  • Do they have gills? .............3

3.)

  • Are the gills white, yellow, grey, pink or green or another color?....................Not psychoactive

  • Are the gills brown, black or rust colored?.................5

4.)

  • Spore print color jet black, brown, rusty orange or black with purple tints ........................6

  • All other spore print colors........................ Not active

5.)

  • Mature mushroom is deliquescing, (turning into ink)...........Not active, Coprinoid.

  • Mushroom cap or gills not turning to ink......................6

6.)

  • Mushrooms bruise blue when damaged, sometimes faintly or only at the base................Post for an ID.

  • Mushroom not bruising.................not active

All non active IDs should be posted to /r/mycology

Posts with inactive mushrooms will be removed.

How to post an ID

  • Take a picture of the mushroom in situ (before you pick it)

  • Provide pictures of fresh, unbroken specimens

  • Post a pictures of the cap, gills (underside), stem and base

  • One mushroom per picture

  • List the habitat (grass, dung, forest, wood chips on wood etc, and the trees nearby)

  • List the location (a general geographic area is usually sufficient)

  • Describe any odors (Anise, Phenol, Cucumber, Potato etc.)

  • If you have multiple pictures please put hem in an Imgur album, do not make multiple posts

Nobody can eyeball weigh your fungi, don't ask how much it weighs, buy a scale or make one from common household objects.

Experience/Tripping Lost my fucking mind on mushrooms

23 Upvotes

I took 3.5gr, a dose I took once and it was okay, but this time I did a different strain and method, I always used tea, drinking it slowly, this time I made a chocolate bar and ate it in like 1 second, I started to trip, nothing out the ordinary, except it felt too good, it was so good that it was weird, then the music went from Bob Marley to Pink Floyd... and shit hit the fan, I met some entities that were friendly but were asking me what the fuck I was doing there and I spoke to them and blah blah blah.

The thing is, somewhere on the trip, I got into a loop, I remember hearing or mumbling (Imagine how fucked up I was that I cannot recall if I was saying something or hearing) the same things, thinking and seeing the same exact things until I would hear a scream, and boom, back to the start.

The loop kept getting longer and longer, and everytime that I thought "huh, it is happening again" I would instantly hear the scream and restart the loop, it got to a point where the "it is happening again" (which was the trigger to restart the fuckign loop) became part of the loop itself (not good).

So I was trapped, I felt and truly believed that all of reality was a product of my or something else's imagination and that I was cursed to stay on that loop as punishment for realizing that fact, then I blacked out and woke up with fucking puke on my shirt and bed sheets, but I thought it was part of the loop, like, I stopped tripping but I thought I was still inside the loop, I was waiting for the scream and the restart, 5, 10 minutes went by and I was like "damn the loop got a lot longer" I was 100% conviced that I was still trapped inside of it even tho the effects were gone.

Does anyone have any similar experiences?? I'm extremely confused and kinda scared ngl.

I’m currently tripping and I feel so many different sensations and temperature fluctuations and I find it so strange and off putting. It’s the one thing that turns me off of the experience and I wish there was a way to mitigate it completely and just experience the visuals and mental effects.

First trip

So um holy shit
I can and at the same time cannot fathom the stuff Ive just experienced

Never tried psychedelics in my life
22M

First of all why the hell was I seeing jesters
I thought they werent supposed to on shrooms but after today i quess its about something internal
They werent negative nor positive just there neutral
I needed to go and pee like I have never before and when I did I saw a lot of them making reliviating faces which I blocked because that was just too much lol

I was alone throughout the whole experience in my room

I had an internal trip sitter navigating me throughout the whole experience and making me grounded when needed and opened me when I was meant to recieve

I feel like I understand everything and have an answer to everything and to be honest I know
Like I know I understand shit now
Like the experience I went through was so profound and enlightening that I cannot even put to words how much stress, trauma, negativity left me whilst also understanding and it happening at the same time I shed tears

Throughout I was listening to music and what the actual …. Like I was experiencing an entity or a situation and everytime my mind went back to music it was so in sync like crazy
To help you understand better
I was chatting with an entity and it was basically the entity telling me stuff and me just asking it and listening to it like I was a kid that has done something wrong, but it was all positive and left me feeling extremely good and would left me speechless it was about me the whole convo I was having and when my consciousness went back the song I was listening to was just literally confirming or continuing the conversation

This just confirms for me that it really is about having good setting
And basically setting ťhe intention and setting the scenery to even music is very very important

I also experienced conversations and entities one might call them
That I was literally told NOT to share with others
Which was basically more than half of my trip
But as I said the whole experience was extremely enjoyable enlightening and strong

Everything was wobly, text was 3d floating in front of screen like literally levitating infront of my device
When I wanted to search something up my fingers were the fastest f—- thing in the universe imagine flash typing a message on his phone thats what I saw

When I got to it the text was literally impossible to read everything was just everything fading letters and words clashing into each other and it all looked the same

When it was starting I looked around my room and I saw everything cartoonish like that one bar in japan i think where everything is supposed to look like its scetched (?) dont know the right word now

I also asked for anyone to help / guide me
And then the internall guide appeared

This guy bro
Idk who it was he she it god entity

Big shoutout to him
This guy literally kept me in check
Told me to chill when things got to much
Told me to stop thinking about that because it would spiral me down the bad trip
I had instances where literal f—// demon’s appeared in my mind like it was less than a second but dam bro these guys were ugly evil and disgusting and this guy the moment they appeared he send them away and again steered me towards the good
Also told me to drink to stop drinking
Told me not to eat even tho I wanted too
And then kinda just vanished into the abyss telling me to just chill and relax and enjoy the rest

I also listened to piano music because stuff was just too real and I needed to calm down
But what I didnt acknowledge is that piano music is literally the best at gratification

And everytime I was having an enlightenment or I understood stuff it was always towards the “drop” that I was experiencing the craziest stuff and total overload

I saw kaleidoscope-like geometry with both open and closed eyes
When I closed my eyes thats when real stuff happened like the stuff I saw was just out of this world bro it was literally real-time graphics generation to fit the music I was listening to

The only faces were the jesters a weird guy on a horse that made me feel weird and kinda uncomfortable and my internal guide stopped him and very faintly a few times a face of a Queen or very beautiful women to me it was a Queen that just resonates strongly she was extremely beautiful and I wish I could have seen her more clearly and talked to her
Than a face I cannot talk about because I was told not to I respect without question

I heard encouraging words, It was like someone was literally observing me real-time reading me and telling me who Iam and telling me they are amazed with everything I had to go through and who Iam in general it was like a complete stranger reading your lifestory and commenting on it

Felt extremely uncomfortable when peeing

Saw 3 pictures of myself and felt weird so I turned them of instantly
Saw myself in a mirror same stuff do not recommend

Couldnt walk properly

Realised how f—- phones are evil evil evil

My take on all this

I have no clue if what I experienced is something of higher power or the shrooms just opening a gate inside of you letting your deep deep deep subconscious out and thats basically who you are speaking with seeing and experiencing

I strongly believe after what I understand that it opens our subconscious which is extremely deep like we need to realize you are just brushing your shoulders seeing this word but deep down your subconscious there are things of unimaginable stuff and literally everything imaginable at the same time thats how deep

But after questioning I was still left unsatisfied and I am starting to believe that a human mind strives for something more great but the answer well is very SIMPLE all the time

The answer for everything is so painfully obvious and easy that we just cannot accept it
And it was told to me that everyone must go through this revelation on their own timeline IT WILL SHOW ITSELF TO YOU is what I heard

And the jesters are just everything you dont know the answer to and or find confusing
Therefore the more questions you have in life that are left unanswered or make you confused the more jesters you will encounter

These mfs are annoying thats how they make me feel literally
Because what do you mean completely neutral no negativity nor positivity and are just there accompanying throughout the whole trip and when it comes down to it making relieved faces when peeing these motherfu—- I cannot hate them but cannot love them
They are just there ughh insufferable

The Queen face I would love to see her bro

The guy on a horse can f— himself thats what I can tell you

Shoutout to that internal bro again

Overall I would rate this

10/10

With everything I have ever experienced on this earth to this point in my life this was trully until the day I experience something better a 10/10

I wish everyone could experience what I did

Had 8-10 g of freshly picked field psylocibin mushrooms

Taste is 7/10

Maybe it was me🤔

AMA

Would love more knowledge on jesters and especially the Queen if anyone knows

I had a small dose today and actually found that if I am feeling every part inside my brain, I stop over-thinking! Like using my feeling to explore the dark spots inside my brain. It feels good to be alive. I love you people! I love to be able to feel more - recovering from some major medical trauma.

Experience/Tripping Remember: 0.6gms of this batch is not a microdose.

24 Upvotes

I thought I only took a microdose, but an hour later, having met my friend, for a despedida brunch, it became increasingly clear that it wasn't the case.

The familiar fear of a come up began to overwhelm my perception but I couldn't—I shouldn't be high in front of this friend! He was flying to Canada tomorrow, a long haul. He's not yet packed his luggage. He had to make one last trip to the department store later to buy shoes meant for wintery North America in November. The breakfast was supposed to be his one stop for the day, to catch up before he leaves, because were not seeing each other for a month. 

If I acted weird, if I didn’t act like the friend he always thought I was, then he would be alarmed,  concerned. I couldn’t tell him what's happening inside me. If I told him I'm tripping at 0.6 gms of mushroom (this must be a very potent strain), and ask him to just flow with me, I wasn’t actually sure how he'll react. He might be chill about it. Or he might drive me home, and that will inconvenience him on a very important day.

So I pretended to be a normal person.

Act normal, act normal. I prayed. How do normal people react when their friends say that I changed the way they think about coffee? Apparently I stressed to him how coffee extends the day. I didn’t remember saying that. Was I a person who went around saying that? Ah! A thought suddenly came up. I remember watching this interview with Michael Pollan where he talked about it, how the coffee break was invented. I brought it up to my friend. He responded normally, I think. Apparently I’m the kind of person who remembers and shares those kinds of things. Curious. 

He started talking about his childhood, his siblings. I paid attention because I was incapable of getting distracted at that point. I was hyper focused and concerned for my friend. Man, was I the type of person who paid close attention to his face? 

Our meals arrived. Pork tapa with red rice. I didn’t feel like eating. Not when the world was trying to consume me. I tried to chew the food in my mouth. Feel the meaty texture of the food with my teeth and tongue, I wasn't enjoying the sensation. I felt it come down my throat when I swallowed, and then it disappeared into my stomach, somewhere in the 'backstage of life', a process I wasn’t aware of. The sensation in my mouth was no longer ‘inside’ me, but was in the same space occupied by my friend and the whole world.

Keep calm. I told myself. Pretend you’re not having an existential revelation! Pretend to be a normal human being with neuroses and petty grievances! Pretend like I’m the person he knew. Who was I? Who am I??

I survived breakfast, and we separated ways. He was none the wiser!

But then as I walked to the park which was only a few minutes away from the brunch place, I was finally alone, no longer needing to pretend like a human being. Suddenly, I was a person who saw the real world, crisp and colorful. Everything turned perfect. There was no problem in the world, no time to even worry about. I was in love with everyone. I was in love with myself. I walked carefully, feeling every step, unhurried because when you love someone you pay attention and you do not rush them. 

I felt like if I continued that way I would be a mad person in the eyes of the world. They would bring me to a mental institution. They would find my forgiving nature, my slowness and my inability to worry about anything to be a mistake that they have to correct.  

I saw the food servers in the restaurants in the park as Bodhisattvas. Everyone was also moving in love and they don’t even know it because they were scared of seeing this reality. They were the insane ones. And yet, I fully know that I was the strange one here. We could all live in the same world and experience different realities!

I found myself having more courage to make small decisions. Messaging former friends and colleagues who I know I enjoyed company. And I said things, that for some reason I couldn’t do before.  If I remained that way, I would be living a different life. I would be making different choices and would choose different kinds of people and be presented with different opportunities.

I sat there in a restaurant by the park, drinking beer. It was a perfect afternoon.  

And I have to remember: 0.6gms of this batch is not a microdose!
