Right. It sucks because mushrooms can give you a little anxiety sometimes and I wish I could take them together. I've been weening myself off for a year now and am almost off.

Yeah man, the come up on shrooms is always uncomfortable for me. Acid was a little smoother. Currently in life, tripping really isnt possible for me so I stick to micro dosing in the winter.

Jesus christ you guys didn’t mess around did you?
First time I took a hit of acid and shroomed and did my first rip of coke and crank was in the 8th grade. Started smoking the weed even earlier. But anyways, i always only took a gram of shrooms at first cause you never know. I’m from the bay area. We had great acid and shrooms when the shrooms came around. Acid was always around. Because I sware to god if you just took an eighth after not shrooming for a minute it might have been a little too much about 50% of the time. The next day was always an 1/8 though

We'd split an eighth of "Oregon Blues" between 2 people back in the 90s and have a blast.

don't get me started on crank! that stuff was harsh but if we couldn't afford blow that weekend, that was plan B. lol.

we could almost always get good lsd too but strangely enough we could rarely get kind bud. one guy could get what he called Kentucky Bluegrass during harvest season which was always a nice treat
 
With shrooms it depends on the species too. Places like the Bay Area or PNW have tons of other species. Cubensis are by far the weakest species. I’ve had some pans where .5 was like an 8th of average cubes.

still haven’t tried the woodlovers like Ps cyan or azzie that grow in those areas but they’re crazy potent also.
 
one more question about the dehydrator.
should the stems bend or break? i believe one of you guys said you want them cracker dry so i'm guessing break.

and one shroom site i found said not to go above 40C or it begins to affect the psilocybin?
 
Been a long while since I looked into it, but 40C sounds bogus. Seen plenty of people talking about boiling them to make tea without any noticeable loss of potency. You wanna get ALL moisture out of them, so if they flex much at all before breaking they may need to go longer. 18 hours seems to have been plenty for mine to completely dry. If you want to be extra careful, you could take a tray that you think is dry, weigh them, put them back in for another hour then weigh them again. At some point they'll stop losing weight and you know they're bone dry.

another site i saw said 55C is better.

but yeah, the bigger ones are still flexing but the smaller ones seem to be brittle. getting there!

Yep, it's definitely best to have the right setting when taking them. For me I like it when im alone and there's no commotion, no background noise, nothing to do, and it also helps to have a positive mindset at the time or ill just have a bunch of negative shit going through my head. If I can't be outside I do like to watch TV. Only funny stuff. Rick and Morty was good but some people say it's way too much Lol.

Shit Still trying to find the right setting for Dmt and IME so far I haven't found one, it's like you just gotta buckle in and embrace it.
 
There sell mushroom kits cheap but without the spores at my local hydro store I'm thinking about getting one. I just don't want to fuck up growing them and get my self sick anyone else.

i'm a bit apprehensive about eating some this weekend ( i think?). probably gonna pick up some milk thistle at walmart. good for mushroom poisoning. lol.
 
I don't know if there is any way to fuck up in the growing part that would lead to anyone getting sick. As far as I know, it's the shit that might grow on stored mushrooms that aren't completely dry that you have to worry about. During the grow, anything growing that isn't a mushroom should be fairly obvious.
 
Anyone ever get one of those kits from homestead book co in the back of high times back in the 90s? My friend did and gave me some shoorms maybe half a 18th if I remember correctly.
 
Yeah don’t worry about making yourself sick, the only way that would happen is if you accidentally grew a poisonous species. Aside from that, mold will totally destroy a grow before you get shrooms and very few are toxic anyway.

if you’re going to just grow once a year or whatever then the precooked bags and shit are fine, but if you’re going to do it even semi regularly it’s well worth it to do everything yourself. It’s all very very easy, most of growing is just waiting. Either on things to soak, cook, colonize, or pin.
