So yesterday a few friends and I went off to a park with an ounce of mushrooms that we were going to split between us. I took a dose of 5.5 grams of mushrooms while most of my friends were dosing 3.5-4 g's. So we came to this park, which I had never been to before, and sat down by a big tree surrounded by water. Me and my friend T decided that we would lemon tek our mushrooms because we wanted the effects to be more intense and a bit shorter acting; fair enough. So we let them seep in lemon juice for about 30 minutes while waiting for people to show up. So finally it's time to drink it down, the tasty concoction is poured down the back of my throat and the mushroom chunks are chewed up. We got up shortly after eating the mushrooms and changed spots to a grassy hill. As we got there and sat down, I started to feel the slightly energetic buzz of the mushrooms kicking in. As we were enjoying the beautiful sunny day, a friend of my friends showed up, who I had no idea who she was, and sat down to talk for a while. I always feel really outgoing on the come-up of mushrooms, so I was talking and rolling around in the grass talking to the new person I'd just met. Eventually she got up and left, and this is where things started to get wild. Right about after she left I was looking out over a hill of grass which suddenly streched out ridiculously far. The farther part of the hill dropped down a few feet in altitude and my hearing started clanging and taking on what I've come to know as the tryptamine sound distortions. They usually make sounds start to echo and "strech" within themselves. At this point, everything also started to breathe. I was looking down at my arms, and my visuals were moving so much that I could have sworn I had gained a massive amount of weight. It felt as if I could see my body growing in real time and the cells dividing and multiplying in real time. This is where the trip starts to get hazy. I don't remember too much of the peak of the experience because I was tripping so hard. My entire visual field was full of colours, and everything was being experienced in a fractal existance. I wasn't just seeing fractals, but I was becoming a living fractal in the experience. There was so much psilocin in my brain that I felt as if I had reached the "roof" of psychedelics, at least for mushrooms. My friends were telling me how I had been acting during the peak earlier, and apparently I wasn't able to form any coherent sentences during the peak. All that was coming out was grunts and laughs, I assume because my mind just completley lost the ability to speak in the awe of the experience. The mushrooms were coming on in waves, so towards the end of the peak the completley dissolved me started to come back a little bit. I remember feeling as if I was re-collecting all the molecules from my body right after they had just exploded outwards in every direction. It was a bliss feeling to be coming back a little bit after being so completley dissolved. It had been ~4 hours after I had ingested the mushrooms at the point where I started to come down, and it was about 3:30pm, so it was still inredibly sunny. The rest of the day was enjoyed in that park until the evening. Everything was fine, but at about 11pm I felt incredibly sick and vomited out my entire stomach contents. I'm not sure if that had to do with the mushrooms + lemon juice or if it had to do with a generally uncomfortable stomach. I feel like mushrooms unravel everything down to it's complete simplicity. They strip away all the ridiculous frivolty of human society down to the bare essentials, yes and no, black or white. Anyways, this is gonna be my last TR for a little bit, so hopefully it was a decent read. I hope all you HF'ers have good summers!
this makes me eager to do mushrooms again, it's been at least a year maybe 2....but at all good i will be ingesting!!! ahh soo excited, you just made me that excited!!! thank you because i've never been a huge mushroom fan, but i know they have potential! that description makes me giddy (giggity)
Just like he said, you let the mushrooms soak in lemon juice for 30 mins and then consume it all. Its best to grind up the shrooms into powder and then soak.. Man, I am glad you had such an epic trip before you left for vacation. Mushrooms are the all mighty imo, and you have to have a respectful trip on them to know what I mean. I feel the same way during the peak and it's such a blur it's hard to remember the next day. And laying there mumbling and laughing, rolling in psychedelia. Fucking epic man.
Nice trip report! I've only done 5 grams once, I got overwhelmed and like you, felt like the mushrooms were overpowering my thoughts and my brain felt flooded with psilocybin to the point of not grasping onto any ideas or recalling much of the peak, Im fairly sensitive to mushrooms ive found. Its a good dose from an experiential and awe standpoint, I have found slightly lower doses (3.5-4 g's) to be better from a teaching standpoint. Why does the lemon tek shorten the length of the shroom experience?
Because you absorb all the psilcybin/psilocin at once, rather than waiting on your stomach acid to tease it out of the tough fungal material.
