Hey everyone, I smoke weed about once a week, and I have tried ecstasy before. I wanted to take it up another notch and bought about an eight of some shrooms. This will be my first time, so please bear with me! I have some questions to ask... 1. Do these look safe to you? I'm assuming they're dried already? They're rough. Can you find mold? 2. How can I store the dried shrooms without spoiling/rotting them? Right now I put them in 2 ziploc plastic baggies and placed them in my desk where it is dark. I'm quite worried however, since my house gets very hot (up to 95 degrees) when I'm not home and not pumping my AC. I don't want to store them in the fridge, 'cause I don't want anyone finding it. Any advice? How long will they last in my desk? Are shrooms still consumable if mold starts appearing? Will I get sick? 3. How much should I take? Some places I read says 1 gram, some says 2, and some says even 3 grams. 4. So do I just eat the mushrooms? Nothing special to prepare, just eat? Can I mix it into any food? Thanks everyone, sorry for being such a noob. Hey, we all gotta start somewhere though, right? :cheers2:
1) They LOOK like Cubensis. It's not a great picture but they do look like psychedelic mushrooms. 2) If they're already dry you need not worry about mold. Simply storing them in a plastic baggie (get as much air out as you can) is fine. I've stored them for months this way. 3) Depends on the potency. If you want a real crazy mindfuck good time, try the whole eighth. If you wanna get high and have fun but not really trip, try like 1.5-2 grams. 4) Mix them into any food you want. Anything you enjoy eating. The taste of the dried shrooms isn't bad at all when mixed with anything in my opinion. Some people do get nauseous or gassy from them.
They appear to be okay but if you're weary you have mold you should be able to wipe it off with a wet Qtip, if none comes off, you're usually okay. If you want to really trip I'd say eat all of that in a safe setting that you feel absolutely comfortable in; make sure you can ride it out up to 6-8 hours. enjoy yourself!!!!
I don't see mold, but it's hard to tell. They were very poorly dried, that's for sure. If you see any pink or green, red, purple...don't eat them. I'm sure they're fine. However, I recommend eating 1/2 an 1/8th to start. In 2 hours if you're not floored, eat the rest. Store them in the fridge or freezed for sure. 90+ degrees is no good! You have no pets in that sauna I assume?
Actually, the temps aren't too much of a concern with mushrooms. Psilocybin isn't nearly as heat-sensitive as people make it out to be. Psilocin is, but it'll break down into psilocybin. If you need proof, look up the melting temps of 4-HO-DMT (psilocin) and 4-HO-DMT phosphate ester (psilocybin). How do you think mushroom tea works, or how they stand up to the heat of melted chocolate? As long as you can stand the heat yourself, your mushrooms should be fine. If you're sweating, they probably are, too.
They look like some shrooms. Not to potent looking though , but looks can be deceiving. Eat the whole thing. Don't nibble on it. Just eat them all and chew well. Don't even think about it. Just do it. If you don't eat them all you will probably be dissapointed. But everybody's different. Like me , I take at least a quarters ( 2 eights ) every time. Don't psych yourself up about the taste. IT's almost like thick paper. If you don't eat all day ( or a few hours ) before you take them you will trip harder. I've actually had shrooms before that made me trip harder than acid.
The potency stands up very well to heat, no doubt. Only reason I said fridge or freezer is because his house gets up to 95 degrees. Holy crap that's hot! Probably won't make a bit of difference, but I wouldn't leave them out in 95 degree heat intentionally. Not with a nice cold fridge in the house.
