Dosage

a friend of mine has gone picking, when he gets back i should be getting some off him. how many should i grab and what kinda process should they go through? as in, where should i keep them, stuff to do with drying them out and all that exciting business.

thanks

 

take as much as he'll give you.
as for drying them i have no clue, maybe leave them in a paper bag......
if theres ALOT just mix them up and eat them.


"shroomery.org"

 

there'll prolly be bugs in them, im sure theres information on how to get them out somewhere on shroomery.org

 

if he only gives you a few, you can eat them wet. post how many grams you get.

if you get a bunch, you will need to dry them or they will rot/mold.

you should fan dry them. get a box fan. most houses already have them. you know, the 2' x 2' square fans? there are 2 ways to use it.
the first way is to get a large cardboard box (a little less than 2' cubed. it should have four sides, a bottom, and no top.) put the shrooms on the bottom of the box. lay the box fan on top of the box, so the fan will blow down onto the shrooms. with this method, you can put the fan on high, and they will dry quicker.
the second method is to lay your box fan on the ground. place a few bricks under it to elevate it off the ground, because when its placed directly on the ground it gets really noisy. lay a window screen on top of the fan, and tape it down. place the shrooms on top of the fan and turn the fan to low.

the shrooms should be dry in a few days.

after fan drying, many people continue the process using a dessicant. to do that you will need screen, Tupperware, and "DampRid". open the Tupperware and sprinkle a layer of DampRid on the bottom. place a screen above the DampRid and put your nearly dry shrooms on the screen. make sure the shrooms don't touch the DampRid. then close the Tupperware up. after 24 hours, your shrooms should be completely dry!

store them in a dry, cool, dark place.

 

cheers for the info, he hasn't come back yet. but i'll post when he does.

 

i ended up going picking and got heaps. tripped on two different occasions. there was no need to keep them at all, it was too tempting to eat them all.

good couple of nights ^_^.

 

That sounds kind of risky. Does your friend have a lot of experience with picking magic mushrooms? It's not like every one that looks like an active strain is the same thing. You may have to take sporeprints and the like on each shroom just be to safe. Happy tripping
