picking

i just wanted to share with you all that i went picking mushrooms the other day.. wild trippy shrooms!! the field is awesome too man it's the most potent mushroom field in canada and the second in north america! woo!!

 

I smell the shit here in my room. Meaning the bullshit thats flowing out ya keyboard. Just about that last sentence though.

 

thats awesome. Ive only been shroom hunting twice. but my buddy goes a few times a season and usually picks up a good supply in Florida.

 

any mushroom picking tips you can offer? are all psychedelic mushrooms similar in appearance? how to know which are which? I could prob look all this up, but I'd like to hear what all you say.

 

all i know is that there are toxic mushrooms that look exactly like psilocybin shrooms that you can't tell the difference from unless you take a spore sample

and when i say toxic i mean deadly

so, uh...be careful?

 

i know that psichedelic shrroms should bruise blue when touched, and also they look nothing like standard 'tesco' mushrooms :S

 

liberty caps, mouthful?

gah just a little more to the east and id get some ;p

 

i agree, i would never go hunting without my buddy, who is an expert.
and i would never recommend eating any mushrooms you find without first asking an expert, taking a spore print, and checking the bruising, and knowing what types of shrooms grow commonly in your area(both psychedelic and otherwise)

 

sweet, i was actually right about something


now i feel good, lol

 

well u see there are 4 types of mushrooms that grow in the field that i picked from and three of which are good. liberty caps and most shrooms you buy off dealers are hyroponically grown. good shrooms(non-toxic) that grow in fields are really really small and grow close to the ground and are a light brown to white in color ( the lighter the better actually) bad ones tend to have an orangey tint and the stem is thicker and under neath the head of the shroom is usually very big and visable whearas good shrooms' are very small and hardley visable.its usually really difficult to find mushrooms without actually getting on your hands and knees and searching..they grow from cow poop! so looking in a field, this time of year, which usually has a lot of cow traffic, chances are you'll find some shrooms. even if you pick the odd bad one chances are you picked over 85% good ones so the effects of the bad ones, you wouldnt really notice...yeah its never a good idea to go shroom picking your first time without someone who has gone before.
oh and smokindude, there was actually a write up in high times magazine about this field. check it out-tobin's field. i wouldnt bullshit on a matter so serious!

 

if you knew ANYTHING about shrooms, you'd know that it is imposable to grow shrooms hydroponically!

if you think they grow hydroponically, then i would NEVER trust the shrooms you pick because you don't know the first thing about shrooms.

 

lol, 85% of what you pick is good so the rest of them you wont really notice are bad.????????????? lets see, like a tiny tiny amount of "bad" shrooms could kill you slowly and painfully, and your only chance of survival would be a liver transplant.

 

yeah, remind me to never get shrooms from you

 

No, they're not bullshitting.

Hightimes ranked them that high out of shrooms in North America.

Don't front.

I grew up 10 minutes away from that field so I know.

Unfortunately,
I have to inform everyone here they tore up that field and it's now gone forever.

 

that's not true at all about tobin's

you can very easily tell the difference, but you should never even try until an old school expert picker shows you the ropes first hand.
You can't know until you see them up close and they tell you which ones,
but with that said I'll describe the correct ones to pick..

Not that I'm suggesting that anyone should do them,
but I might as well try to prevent people from poisoning themselves

Psychedelic Tobin's mushrooms should be:
.dark blue or dark purple under the cap (never orange)
.they should have what's called a liberty cap (you have to see it for yourself)
.they should be relatively small (never big)
.and they grow in cow fields all across cape breton (none of them are as good as tobin's were though)

I know this thread is from like 2006,
but it can never hurt to add this info so people don't poison themselves.

With all of that said,
find an experienced hippie to show you
DO NOT TRY THIS ON YOUR OWN

 

i've heard tobin's field mentioned numerous times since i've moved here

oh shit it's gone now? oh well, i guess a lot can happen in 6 years

 

thought this thread said pickling... guess you know what i've been doing a ton of

 

this is a lot of very confusing information, what is fact and what is fiction?

 

I've only done shrooms once and I know more about them than you! Besides, you're on the wrong board.
