Earlier thus evening I called up my new hippy friend/ source for hash and shrooms and he said he was selling shrooms for 25 and eigth/ 45 a quarter. Why not? I haven't seen shrooms for even twice that price in months so I decided it was time to invest. I met up with him and we chatted for a while like old friends. After going home I looked at them and they look very nice, 8 caps and about that many stems. They are light brown/ orangish in color with lighter colored stems. The caps are about 1 inch- 1.5 inches across. The only wierd thing with these shrooms that have me questioning them is that they taste and smell pretty similar to Amanita Muscaria mushrooms, although they look nothing like them (tiny, no spots, shriveled instead of smoothish). The guy I bought them from says he gets them from his friend who grows in his basement. I don't want amantias because they have no psycobilin and, although they are fun, I'm looking for regular psychedelic shrooms. The last shrooms I had were light tan/ whitish and tasted nuttier and smelled less strong (although I was high and had taken acid the day previous) Is there a chance I got ripped off?
Ok I just looked at a lot of pictures online and now I'm about 95% sure that the fungi friends I have are of the Psilocybe Cubensis variety, but I'm only not 100% sure because of the smell and taste.
The smell & taste can vary a little depending on the drying process. Amanitas & psilocybes look a lot different. You should be fine.
Yeah I guess the one I tasted just taste a lot like amanitas. I think I ate about 4 caps and two stems yesterday, they were very tasty, unlike amanitas. The trip didn't actually start until about 2.5 hours, when I smoke a bowl of some kb. I had smoked a bowl of hash about 1 hour into the experience, but I felt no effects from it at all for some reason. Does excersize delay the onset of shrooms? I decided to take my trip while climbing a mountain on the Appalachian Trail and admire the massive view while trippin. Unfortunately there was too many people, so my lone journey turned into one with experiences here and there with 15 or 20 other people, and I only valued talking to one guy, who was actually a neat guy around 50 years old. The trip was really fun though, for some reason I kept thinking I was a robot sasquatch and I started singing these very odd songs that I wish I had recorded. My hand and legs kept getting wierd sensations similar to the ones I get while on acid, so when I tried to look for anything in my backpack or pockets, my hands were just being way too silly to cooperate :jester: . So I was standing in the trail searching through my stuff for like fifteen minutes laughing very hard out loud. Then I decided to give up and just plod on with only one glove. While walking it was like my mind was taking short 1 second clips of what I was seeing and repeating it quickly. So I would see one short clip about ten times and then I would be a few feet ahead of where I just was. *SNEEZE* Sorry bout that haha. I next looked to my left while walking and my whole body went on autopilot and I felt like a deer walking cautiously down the trail. For a while longer I had effects along the lines of what I just described, and then I got back to my car and the long ride home, of which I remember very little. SPHINX (this may be the coolest thing mankind has ever built) All in all, a good day, but could have been better. I learned that tripping and hiking don't combine easily, because your mind gets very focused on making sure your footing is good and on the cold, so your mind is kind of on a temporary break. This is normally a good thing, but when I'm tripping I wanna hear everything my mind has to say and I want to feel all the effects.
