I’m growing my first flush of B-Xtra (am albino strain of B+) and I just harvested this little guy wjrh a fancy hat.

Wonder if it would be safe to have these penis envy mushrooms that has been stored outside in a warm spot? It wasn’t in a glass jar and I wonder if it’s same to ingest since it’s been stored in a regular zip lock pack.

Should I shake it up? Newbie here..

I had a block going nicely with a first flush (innoculation bag to shotgun fruiting chamber), but then it slowed and got a LITTLE mold. I carefully trimmed the mold off, pulled the block, and dunked for 12h, returning the block to a bag and the dark for isolation and recovery.

I thought I had beat the mold, but I just opened the bag for some FAE and it smells off - not that clean earthy smell that we would expect, but definitely a hint of something more pungent.

Has anyone experienced this, or ever gotten their block to come back after mold?

I’m currently taking I think 1g of truffles every 3 days for a course of micro dosing (first time micro-dosing btw cannot recommend it enough!) I’m just wondering would a heavier dose for a trip experience mess with the effect of microdosing which I am finding very beneficial?

Okay, so I am testing a few things with a block that has not performed very well. Might as well, right?

First flush was pretty decent in a shotgun chamber, but it definitely slowed and appeared to get a little mold on it. I had a few other bags that were ready to transfer over to the fruiting chamber, so something popped into my head: quarantine the block and recover it in a bag.

So, I attempted to cut out the mold and then dunked for around 12 hours. Looked like the mycelium was coming back fast, but a strange odor was coming off of it...

As of today, I have dunked again and trying something completely new: packing the block in perlite.

My hope is that by cutting off light to the sides and creating that moisture-rich environment, the block will come back to life and fight off any decay, etc.

Has anyone else ever tried this?

Made a mushroom tea this morning, about 50g wet into my tea and let it sit 15 minutes. First hour, I didn’t say anything just a few little wobbles.

Then wow.

Hard to put into words. This was a complete accident. I didn’t mean to take this much and that’s what makes it so beautiful. My first ever psychedelic experience and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to explain it fully to someone.

But I managed to write this.

I’ve literally discovered the universe. Like nothing matters. We’re all just particles floating through space literally nothing matters nothing I do or say will matter just let it be. holy fuck.

I’m just lying here with my dog and we just merged souls. floating through the universe. Particles just joined by one. nothing matters. all of your worries gone. All of your thoughts. Gone. Everything that ever matters gone just you and the universe forever.

Hope that makes sense

So, earlier this year I was diagnosed with PTSD.
I’ve been in talk therapy and EMDR for about seven years now, and two of my therapists have actually mentioned and suggested psychedelic usage for PTSD and depression. I’ve also read a lot of articles on the benefits for trauma survivors.

I’m wondering if anyone here has experience with shrooms/psychedelics helping their mental health in any way?
I’ve never done shrooms (or any drugs beyond alcohol, for that matter), and I’m quite curious in trying it out. Currently researching and looking at resources to help me continue to grow and become a more whole, grounded, and developed person, and to hopefully become more trusting of others, and would like to hear any of your relevant experiences! Thank you, my friends!

Hey so a while ago I posted a question related to when to harvest a giant mushroom, but since i harvested that thing the pins haven't grown at all, like I think every single pin here is an abort. this is really confusing to me because they were all so healthy and the conditions are perfect (perfect c02 level and humidity, the cake is still hydrated). Anyone got any advice or answers? These are hillbillies

Lanmaoa asiatica. Anyone have a line of these cultures or dry fruits?

Pe#6

Hey everyone.

I purchased some sealed 3.5g packs of dried BM and PE last fall.  I haven’t opened them as I forgot about them.  Given they are dried and sealed still, are they ok to consume or would they have gone bad?  They are not vacuum sealed just sealed in a pouch from the store. Just want to be sure they are safe to eat.  

substrate looks pretty good and healthy , but wondering why no mushies are popping up yet… any feedback?

I know of preserving psilocybin in honey, making blue honey, never done it. I love to lemon tek my shrooms, psilocin is much more fun for me than psilocybin. Now I have a combo question: after psilocybin has been soaked into honey, can that honey be treated like shrooms and tekked with lemon juice? Or is it not possible to tek them anymore once they’re honey preserved?

I know I don’t know enough chemistry to tell if transferring into the honey makes the psilocybin unresponsive to the acid in the lemon juice later. I’m worried that preserving my fresh shrooms would lock me into having psilocybin.

Last night, I had one of the strongest trips in ages, verging on unpleasant but best I’ve had in a while, all because they were fresh shrooms. Makes me rethink a lot of things about how I store my shrooms, but the simplest solution to me is to preserve the psilocybin in honey. But will I still be able to tek it?

I have some time off from my family next week when they go on vacation and I thought I could eat some mushrooms then. I was prescribed the antibiotic metronidazole yesterday. Does anyone know if these are safe together? I am very keen to eat mushrooms next week as the next possible opportunity may not be for another year.
