hat is the best way to prepare magic mushrooms

emilyw94 · Oct 20, 2012

Ive just picked about 80 magic mushrooms and was wondering what is the best way to prepare them, to have a good, pleasent, non-bad trip?

Ive ate them dry before and was sik and i didnt even trip or anything, i probly didnt have enough and i dont really want to eat them so this is like my firt time ive got them drying on a newspaper now.

Cheers

If yours are anything like ours don't eat 80 of them for a start.
You were sick before and you don't want to eat them ? I guess that's something you should decide on.
Now, considering that you're smart enough to nip the dirty 'roots' off, try puting them in a honey sandwich on white bread.
Keep a track of how many you eat and the effect you get for future reference.

Oh yeah... I don't know which hat you should wear.

IF they made you sick and you didn't trip then they were not magic mushrooms.

Can you post of pictures and give us some details on where and when they were found?

It sounds like they are NOT magic mushrooms and you are potentially eating poisonous mushrooms. How do you know they are "magic"? Lots of very toxic mushrooms look almost identical to common "magic mushrooms".

dont all mushrooms make you trip?

Eon · Oct 20, 2012

^^ Umm..... no.

It is very important to ID 'shrooms right. There are plenty of Fungi that are fatal to eat. That means DIE, people.

My bro would dry heave/retch from the taste and texture which is why we went to eating them with other things.

If the OP did eat the right ones before and did vomit them back up, he didn't trip cos he didn't digest them. We need clarification from the OP.

I'm amazed at some of the things a read about people 'preparing' them. Just eat them, and treat them, with respect. Sacrament not sacrilege.

A hat can be useful for carrying them if you have no good bag. Don't put them in plastic. So no plastic hat.

Are you being serious? :| You think portabello mushrooms on your pizza give you a psychedelic trip?

This is a pretty dangerous situation here, I have a feeling emily is just going around picking random mushrooms in the forest and eating them. Mushrooms poisoning is one of the worst ways you can die.

Poisonous mushrooms contain a variety of different toxins that can differ markedly in toxicity. Symptoms of mushroom poisoning may vary from gastric upset to life-threatening organ failure resulting in death. Serious symptoms do not always occur immediately after eating; often not until the toxin attacks the kidney or liver, sometimes days or weeks later.
The most common consequence of mushroom poisoning is simply gastrointestinal upset. Most "poisonous" mushrooms contain gastrointestinal irritants which cause vomiting and diarrhea (sometimes requiring hospitalization), but usually no long-term damage. However, there are a number of recognized mushroom toxins with specific, and sometimes deadly, effects:

Alpha-amanitin (deadly: causes liver damage 1–3 days after ingestion) – principal toxin in genus Amanita.

Phallotoxin (causes gastrointestinal upset) – also found in poisonous Amanitas

Orellanine (deadly: causes kidney failure within 3 weeks after ingestion) – principal toxin in genus Cortinarius.

Muscarine (sometimes deadly: can cause respiratory failure) – found in genus Omphalotus.

Gyromitrin (deadly: causes neurotoxicity, gastrointestinal upset, and destruction of blood cells) – principal toxin in genus Gyromitra.

Coprine (causes illness when consumed with alcohol) – principal toxin in genus Coprinus.

Ibotenic acid (causes neurotoxicity) and muscimol (hallucinogenic) – principal toxins in A. muscaria, A. pantherina, and A. gemmata.

Psilocybin and psilocin (hallucinogenic, 'magic', 'psychoactive') – principal 'toxin' in genus Psilocybe.

Arabitol (causes gastrointestinal irritation in some people).

Bolesatine a toxin found in Boletus satanas

Ergotamine (deadly: affects the vascular system and can lead to loss of limbs and death): An alkaloid found in genus Claviceps.

Symptoms of mushroom poisoning vary depending on the toxins involved.

Alpha-amanitin: For 6–12 hours, there are no symptoms. This is followed by a period of gastrointestinal upset (vomiting and profuse, watery diarrhea). This stage is caused primarily by the phallotoxins[6] and typically lasts 24 hours. At the end of this second stage is when severe liver damage begins. The damage may continue for another 2–3 days. Kidney damage can also occur. Some patients will require a liver transplant.[22] Amatoxins are found in some mushrooms in the genus Amanita, but are also found in some species of Galerina and Lepiota.[10] Overall, mortality is between 10 and 15 percent.[23] Recently, Silybum marianum or blessed milk thistle has been shown to protect the liver from amanita toxins and promote regrowth of damaged cells,[24][25] including a study in which 60 patients exposed to death cap poison were given 20 mg/kg of milk thistle seeds per day within 48 hours of consuming the deadly mushrooms. None of the patients died.[26]

Orellanine: This toxin causes no symptoms for 3–20 days after ingestion. Typically around day 11, the process of kidney failure begins,[6] and is usually symptomatic by day 20. These symptoms can include pain in the area of the kidneys, thirst, vomiting, headache, and fatigue. A few species in the very large genus Cortinarius contain this toxin. People who have eaten mushrooms containing orellanine may experience early symptoms as well, because the mushrooms often contain other toxins in addition to orellanine.[27] A related toxin that causes similar symptoms but within 3–6 days has been isolated from Amanita smithiana and some other related toxic Amanitas.[28]

Muscarine: Muscarine stimulates the muscarinic receptors of the nerves and muscles. Symptoms include sweating, salivation, tears, blurred vision, palpitations, and, in high doses, respiratory failure.[29] Muscarine is found in mushrooms of the genus Omphalotus, notably the Jack o' Lantern mushrooms. It is also found in A. muscaria, although it is now known that the main effect of this mushroom is caused by ibotenic acid. Muscarine can also be found in some Inocybe species and Clitocybe species, particularly Clitocybe dealbata, and some red-pored Boletes.[10]

Gyromitrin: Stomach acids convert gyromitrin to monomethylhydrazine (MMH), a compound employed in rocket fuel. It affects multiple body systems. It blocks the important neurotransmitter GABA, leading to stupor, delirium, muscle cramps, loss of coordination,[6] tremors, and/or seizures. It causes severe gastrointestinal irritation, leading to vomiting and diarrhea. In some cases, liver failure has been reported.[6] It can also cause red blood cells to break down, leading to jaundice, kidney failure, and signs of anemia. It is found in mushrooms of the genus Gyromitra.[16] A gyromitrin-like compound has also been identified in mushrooms of the genus Verpa.[15]

Coprine: Coprine is metabolized to a chemical that resembles disulfiram. It inhibits aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), which generally causes no harm, unless the person has alcohol in their bloodstream while ALDH is inhibited. This can happen if alcohol is ingested shortly before or up to a few days after eating the mushrooms. In that case the alcohol cannot be completely metabolized, and the person will experience flushed skin, vomiting, headache, dizziness, weakness, apprehension, confusion, palpitations, and sometimes trouble breathing. Coprine is found mainly in mushrooms of the genus Coprinus, although similar effects have been noted after ingestion of Clitocybe clavipes.

Ibotenic acid: This organic acid is metabolized to muscimol. The effects of muscimol vary, but nausea and vomiting are common. Confusion, euphoria, or sleepiness are possible. Loss of muscular coordination, sweating, and chills are likely. Some people experience visual distortions, a feeling of strength, or delusions. Symptoms normally appear after 30 minutes to 2 hours and last for several hours. A. muscaria, the "Alice in Wonderland" mushroom, is known for the toxic/hallucinogenic properties caused by muscimol, but A. pantherina and A. gemmata also contain the same compound.[10] While normally self-limiting, fatalities have been associated with A. pantherina,[14] and consumption of a large number of any of these mushrooms is likely to be dangerous.

Psilocybin: This compound is converted into psilocin when ingested. Symptoms begin shortly after ingestion. The effects can include euphoria, visual and religious hallucinations, and heightened perception. However, some persons experience fear, agitation, confusion, and schizophrenia-like symptoms. All symptoms generally pass after several hours. Some (though not all) members of the genus Psilocybe contain psilocybin, as do some Panaeolus, Copelandia, Conocybe, Gymnopilus, and others. Some of these mushrooms also contain baeocystin, which has effects similar to psilocin.

Arabitol: A sugar alcohol, similar to mannitol, which causes no harm in most people but causes gastrointestinal irritation in some. It is found in small amounts in oyster mushrooms, and considerable amounts in Suillus species and Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca (the "false chanterelle").[30]

Some mushrooms contain less toxic compounds and, therefore, are not severely poisonous. Poisonings by these mushrooms may respond well to treatment. However, certain types of mushrooms, such as the Amanitas, contain very potent toxins and are very poisonous; so even if symptoms are treated promptly mortality is high. With some toxins, death can occur in a week or a few days. Although a liver or kidney transplant may save some patients with complete organ failure, in many cases there are no organs available. Patients who are hospitalized and given aggressive support therapy almost immediately after ingestion of amanitin-containing mushrooms have a mortality rate of only 10%, whereas those admitted 60 or more hours after ingestion have a 50–90% mortality rate.[31]

Emily, if you have picked random mushrooms without knowing anything about which mushrooms to pick, and they have caused you vomiting in the last few days, I would highly recommend you go and gather up those mushrooms again, and go to the emergency room with them to show the doctors there. You might be in the early stages of organ failure if you're unlucky.

DO NOT EVER PICK MUSHROOMS IN THE WILD AND EAT THEM UNLESS YOU ARE TRAINED TO DO SO!

Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom.. OP is looking for Liberty Caps..

emilyw94 · Oct 21, 2012

Thanks for the replys, the ones that made me sik were off last year they were off my uncle he gets them every year from scotland,
Im preety sure these are liberty caps, the field i got them off is well known for having magic mushrooms, everone i know gets them from here.
ive been for some more today and ive got some pics, some are of the ones i got yesterday and the rest are from today, cheers

emilyw94 · Oct 21, 2012

the half dry ones off yesterday

Mr.Writer · Oct 21, 2012

Those look like liberty caps, but I'm no mycologist Glad you are ok

Perilless · Oct 21, 2012

I'm in the UK, and I dont think there're any seriously poisonous mushrooms that look similar to liberty caps. There're a few that are inactive (Haymakers, etc) but not poisonous. Good luck, Emily

Eon · Oct 21, 2012

"Goldies" from what I can see on screen.

no responsibility taken if you die, but I'd like to find some here. It's been years.
