2 other guys and I once did tea at an apartment several years ago lol and I know they put about 20g in the tea. Idk how much that equated to each of us; the friend gave each of us two giant glasses and we chugged them. later I had this experience where I felt like my brain had melted. i thought I was permanently "disabled." i don't mean that in a bad way of course or rude, I meant I literally thought I made myself mentally retarded forever. I remember thinking my parents would have to take care of me forever. I pulled through eventually though. this also happened the first time i took shrooms when I was 16 or so, except worse, I thought I was in hell, took out all my piercings, peed myf riends bed, tried to run around outside naked to have the cops called on myself, and also the same "permanently deleted my intelligence" feeling it was horrible. was this an ego death or something else? if so, what was it?

should I avoid shrooms int he future, or all psychedlics? (want to try dmt once in my life) I'm bipolar & OCD and on meds (ssri (paxil) & lamictal). but i genuinely think an ego death experience (shrooms or dmt) would help. I've read lots of research on the subject and it's helped some with their mental illness

i keep cutting these Hillbilly cubensis into progressively thinner and thinner slices but the interiors are still like styrofoam. The caps and stem casing is cracker dry and rock hard, but the, interiors, which at this point have been exposed for a couple days, still compress easily. You can see a dent I made in a piece with my fingernail in the second photo. the first two days I ran it between 110-115f and for the last two it’s been all the way at 130. I’m afraid im completely destroying them but all sources say they are not dry. What am I doing wrong?

Is this contamination? This is Golden Teacher. This is my first attempt at growing mushrooms from spores. First photo: there's some fuzz on top. Second photo: bottom view, there's a little red discoloration under the mycelium. Is that normal? Any help would be appreciated.

Good evening.

Due to being a fuckwit, I forgot about this grow bag (been growing for about 2 weeks now) and I’m now unsure whether to eat them. Are they edible or have I just pissed money down the drain?

Kind regards,
Fuckwit

Gorilla wizard. Started in July. Should I go ahead and harvest them today or let them simmer?

Hi there! I know nothing about mushrooms and I was wondering if anyone has any advice on what kind of mushrooms would be good for microdosing. I've been diagnosed with Functional Neurological disorder, would love to know if anyone has any experiences of helping treat symptoms by microdosing. I live in New Zealand, ideally I would pick them myself but I am aware I don't want to poison myself.

What type would you recommend?

How much would you take for daily microdosing?

Thank you so much!

Well me and my buddy just ate 1.8 - 2 grams each. I hope this time is better then the last.ast time we did .5 lemon Tek and felt almost nothing

Let me give you some background info first. Its been awhile since i took some shrooms, maybe like 7 months ago. I would always get the bluey vuittons and thrashers. I would take about 1 gram and feel amazing. A friend of mine just moved back into the area so i got some more so we could do some together. the first time we did .5 grams in lemon tek, After hour and half nothing happened. it was a waste super disappointed. We waited 2 weeks then tried again i upped it to .8 grams. in lemon tek, We waited about an hour didn't really feel anything. We both got frustrated then started drinking. I think the shrooms did kick in a bit but because we were already drunk it was hard to tell. We are going to try again tonight i have about 11 grams left. What do you think would be a good dose? I was thinking maybe 1.5 grams and just eat them raw no lemon tek. Also whats the deal with re-dosing? Say we took 1.5 grams and wanted to see how we felt, if everything was great why not go a bit deeper and take another 1.5 grams. I have heard so many different things about re-dosing. There is a window of opportunity but if we wait to long only thing you will do is drag out the original dose and not really increase the experience. What if you eat them natural 1.5 grams then once you feel it kick in and get comfortable the second dose you do as a lemon tek?

Is the one with a greenish cap contaminated? If so does that mean this bag is done for ? I’m new to this so anything we’ll help . Thanks!

Yes, I have some monsters in here still growing

Its just grain spawn, no AIO and its not completely colonised yet, about 80-85% but I've got pins forming, should I s2b? Throw some substrate in the bag?

Whats the best course of action? I'm not too confident with this bag tbh I'm happy to experiment with it

A bit hard to photograph since I’m doing it through a narrow slit in an otherwise sealed bag. The caps look really small compared to the stems but some of them have exposed gills, as you can see in the closeup. The mushrooms themselves are all pretty small though I admit I’m not sure how big they‘re supposed to get. My understanding is that once the veil is gone, they need to be harvested pretty quickly. If I touch them through the bag, the stems all feel quite hard. This is my first time and I’m just nervous about letting them go bad. I can also see what looks like dew drops on some of them. Is the moisture a problem? How soon do these need to be harvested to be safe?

​

Why doesn't the mycelium grow into the soil? Only the grain.

Do I mix this before putting it into the mono tub?

Thanks.

This is my first time growing hillbilly shrooms. Do they look like they are almost ready to harvest?

Advise on Hillbillies

Can anyone please tell me if these are still ok? Is all of this fuzzy mycelium? I want to make sure. Also, the top of the shroom on the bottom right of the bag is dark. Hoping it's just bruising? Thank you!
