#very different experience from psilocybin

[wyfern]

i took amanita muscaria mushrooms today and everything became soft and spongy (including myself). i slept on the ground for 4 hours and apparently fell into a coma like state and could not be woken up. had vivid dreams about tribal gods.

A place where the ground was soft.

Your Future In-Laws First Impression of You

Pile 1 🪸 Pile 2 🛩️ Pile 3 ☔️

Notes:

This reading covers Your future in-laws (married or long-term partner) first impression of you as well as how they receive you. It's purely for entertainment purposes only. Take what only what resonates be it some, all or none.

I've been feeling mildly scatterbrained when it comes to organising my thoughts and I didn't have the mental capacity to design any graphics. Hopefully, this reading is still clear though.

PILE 1

What do they think of you?

Cards: Cat’s Claw (Purification), Lion’s Mane (Leadership), Lavender (Weaver), Ace of Swords, King of Cups, Four of Swords

Your in-laws first impression of you is one of being impressed and intrigued. From the cards pulled (including the next section) it feels like your future in-laws will be a very tight-knit family, so your future long-term partner/spouse introducing you is very much a big deal. I feel like it could be at a family gathering or you’re invited to an important event where you meet them there. You could give off the impression of being very regal and revered. I think your future in-laws will be very satisfied with you and see you as exactly what they want for their child/relative. They could also be cautious of you in the sense that you may give off the energy of calm but not to be messed with. They could view you as someone who is very balanced energetically. You could give off an enticing blend of masculine and feminine qualities.

You could also give off the impression of someone whose intelligence comes from observing a situation first. The only card that didn’t quite 'blend' as seamlessly initially for me here is the Four of Swords. You could give off a very unfazed vibe at times… or seem as though you’re uninterested in what’s going on all while simultaneously being on high alert. It could come from past experiences though that leaves you this way and I think your in-laws will be able to pick up on that as well. For others, you could just have this attractive, leadership energy and your in-laws' first impression of you could be “This person is great, but they sound like they need to rest.”

How will they receive you? Cards: Tobacco (Offering) , Arnica (Teacher), Saint John’s Wort (Radiance), Death, Six of Pentacles, The Hermit reversed

Your future in-laws will receive you with open arms. Right off the bat they’re going to take you in and share with you their wisdom and their love. Even if you and your in-laws may have differences, they’ll show you from the start that they are willing to get to know who you are and build a relationship with you. For them, your presence welcomes the start of a new beginning in their family. I feel like your in-laws may be very traditional but also open. They will want to help nurture you. For some of you, they may give a physical gift for you or offer you an opportunity of some kind.

PILE 2

What do they think of you? Cards: Rosemary (ancient memory), Gingko (breakthrough), Psilocybin (commune), Knight of Cups, Two of Swords, The Emperor, Knight of Wands

If you were drawn to pile 1, you could consider checking out that pile as well after.

I don’t know if you’re sleepy or what pile 2, but something to do with sleep is coming through for you. I figured maybe some of you may meet your in-laws at night, for others you may have an intense intellectual energy and it’s like “Wow, does this person ever sleep?” Your in-laws may see you as someone charming, playful or good fun, but overall super focused and fixated on a specific thing. For some of you, you may not have the best social skills? You might say things that catch them off guard, but I don’t think they’ll think less of you for it. Your person could have a big family, so there may be many in-laws you meet. They definitely see you as committed to what you set your mind to and that when you make a decision about something, it’s not one you make lightly. You give your all to projects and people. They may see you as a visionary, someone with lots of wisdom and brilliant ideas. I think that you might even influence them, if not completely change their perspective on a matter. If there are children around you may interact with them well, almost like a mentor and I think your future in-laws will be pleased with that. You may not directly interact with them when they form their first impression of you, they may simply observe you from a distance. For others, it could be that you flit back and forth between intellectual intensity that makes you seem older than you are one minute and embodying a child-like sense of wonder and whimsiness that makes you see younger the next.

How will they receive you? Cards: Rose (love), Cannabis (detachment), Tulsi (wealth), 10 of Cups, Page of Swords, 6 of Wands

*If you’re struggling with anxiety or sleep, there’s a message here to take time and care around cultivating inner calm. Quick fixes might do more harm than good currently.

There’s not one uniform energy here, like I mentioned before, it feels like various people I’m picking up on (so forgive me if this feels slightly scattered). For some, they might seem a little bit detached or unexpressive but they like you. It could be that they quite honestly didn’t want to like you but they do, or the initial getting to know one another might be rocky before you finally get to a point where it's like "yeah, y/n is pretty great.". Regardless, you’ll feel welcomed and you’ll be received with grace. I’m also picking up on some may want to get on your good side because they see you as someone successful or capable of great success so they may try to wow you. They may want to learn from you as well. I definitely pick up on someone seeking you out in hopes that you’ll teach them about something. They may welcome you by striking up a conversation.

PILE 3

What do they think of you? Cards: Palo Santo (Guardian), Jergón Sacha (Transfiguration), Chamomile (Inner Peace) reversed Four of Wands reversed, Ace of Swords, Two of Wands

It's not quite clear who's energy is what but I did my best. I think both you and your future in-laws may kind of flip back and forth feeling the same way about each other because I did pull some cards to represent your impression of your in-laws and was getting the same vibes and their impression of you.

There are multiple scenarios here so I split it up into bullet points.

Your future in-laws might need a minute to process who you are (aesthetic/interest-wise). (I also got they may need a couple years to come to terms with you? 😭 However, editing this it could have been that it took them a while to come to terms with their child/relative's type?)

I think you take everything they expect and flip it on their head, for better or worse.

I don’t sense any malice, but I definitely think that they may feel slightly avoidant of you at first? I don’t know why but I keep envisioning when you watch those movies and there’s someone coming over and the couple is in a panic and trying to act natural… I’m not sure that makes sense, but that’s what I keep getting. It’s not like 'Oh, we don’t like this person’. It’s more of an "X is coming and I didn’t have enough time to mentally prepare’. Some people just have a big personality, and even if you do like them you just kind of need to prepare yourself for them still 😅

For some of you, it could be that they’re worried you’ll lead their child/relative down a path they don’t agree with??? There’s fear here and the words aren’t coming out right because your in-laws like I said may not be able to immediately process you. I just get this weary sense, and that they know well enough there is no need to be weary of you.

Another possibility that comes to me is your person/future spouse may have also been one of those kids that leave their parents stressed 24/7 (like my sister), so your future in-laws try to run every scenario through their head trying to prepare themselves for what their child's partner could be like. They could also be relieved that you’re nothing like what they expected.

It could also be that they could feel like you’re the one who's guarded and has a wall up, or you’re anxious about meeting them and they pick up on that?

How will they receive you? Cards: Ashwagandha (purpose), Ginseng (magician), Sage (blessing), Mandrake (sensuality) The Magician, The Hierophant, Queen of Swords

While I was pulling the cards, “I’ll Make a Man Out of You” from Mulan suddenly started ‘playing’ in my head. Your future in-laws may kind of see you as their pet project of sorts. Not like you need fixing in any way, you might just seem like a good candidate for something one or both of your in-laws have in mind. Good or bad thing that’s on a case-by-case basis. You’ve got the hierophant and magician and for whatever reason, the imagery especially kind of put that in my head. They may have certain rules or values that they will communicate are important to them. Those two cards, as well as the queen of swords, are all holding an item and I heard a 'talking stick'?? Maybe it means something to someone or maybe I just need to rest lol. I think your in-laws will do their best to form a relationship with you. One thing that definitely feels evident is that they will know you’re their child/relative's person. Their initial feelings from their impression of you may completely switch when it comes to interacting with you. They’ll put a genuine effort into getting to know you, and not just a courtesy get-to-know-you type of interaction. They genuinely want to connect with you and understand you. They’ll try to release any preconceived notions towards you and they may even verbalise this as well.

ok this is prolly a Dumbass question. but a lot of witchcraft ppl seem to use plants like datura, belladona, aconite, for their psychoactive properties in witchcraft- Are there any witchcraft people that just skip the whole plant foraging/gardening/obtaining bit and decide to just do shrooms or acid, or benadryl/dph i guess if one happens to just like deleriants? dph is rlly bad for health (is so bad) but tbh so is datura,.. though dph you can usually get at a convenince store. Or is it not considered spiritual if it’s a synthetic?

(I dont mean this to be offensive btw i think occult things r cool and im faded than a hoe rn. Coolio blog)

I'm sure there are practitioners who attempt to undergo Poison Path work using only synthetic drugs, but I don't really know anything about that, and so I can't speak to it very well.

I do, however, believe that working with the spirits of plants is at least as important to the process of such work as the psychoactive effects. I can grasp working with the spirit of Belladonna, but I have a much harder time envisioning myself trying to work with the spirit of a drugstore antihistamine. I also believe it's meaningful that many entheogenic plants (such as ones you listed here, including Psilocybin Mushrooms) have a longstanding traditional record of religious/cultic usage by initiated masters in their respective cultures. For these reasons, among others, I would not consider using synthetic, storebought drugs.

I also think there is a big difference between someone who messes around with party drugs and likes the idea of trying to get a bit spiritual with it, and someone who conscientiously dedicates themselves to Poison Path work. Altered brain chemistry can help the mind to see past certain filters and preconceptions, and it can also help one to look inward, but if there isn't a thoughtful, purposeful, and spiritual framework behind using an entheogenic substance, then it seems likely that it's mostly about getting high.

Finally, I want to add that, while substances such as datura are definitely dangerous, they are often used with far more reverence, caution, and frugality when approached by a serious practitioner. My husband is Oathbound to the Tutelary Spirit of Datura, but only once, under extraordinary circumstances, has that included using the plant entheogenically. He undertook the ritual with fearful respect and the utmost care, and it was an extremely meaningful experience for him, but it's not one he's likely to undertake again anytime soon. As he puts it, "She is a harsh teacher." I think part of the reason so many of these plants (particularly poisonous varieties of Ranunculaceae and Solanacea) are as harsh as they are is because they demand commitment and humility (along with self-defense, of course), which is why you pretty much hear only horror stories from most folks who attempt to use such substances lightly.

Hallucin0genic Plants

THIS IS AN INFO POST! I AM NOT INFLUENCING ANYONE TO TRY THIS!!

Psil0cybin

AKA. Magic mushrooms. These mushrooms are found all over the world and are extremely common. In the 60s a Psilocybin mushroom experiment lead by psychologist,Timothy Leary and colleagues at Harvard University said that the mushrooms reportedly caused a state of inner peace, euphoria and disorientation. As for a bad trip, if you mix the mushroom with others like alcohol then your chances will be higher. The aftermath of a bad trip could possibly lead to psychosis (again if you mix it with others) But because of psilocybins nature the likelihood of death is very low. But how does psilocybin work?

Once ingested psilocybin gets turned into psilocin through the liver. Psilocin then tricks the brains serotonin receptors.

(Science direct)

Seen here is the three compounds different structures. Psilocin is very close to serotonin which allows it to act on the receptors. This is also why magic mushrooms have been found to improve depression and other disorders.

Even with these discoveries the mushrooms are mostly illegal in countries all over the world.

Sarpa Salpa

No it’s not a plant. It’s a fish actually!

The fish is a member of the sparidae family. Sarpa Salpa can be found in the eastern Atlantic Ocean.

(Wikipedia)

the fish is said to have ichthyoallyeinotoxic effects when consumed. The report of these effects came after two men at a Mediterranean restaurant ate the fish and began having auditory and visual hallucinations. The hallucinations caused by the fish are described as frightening and start after 2hrs of ingestion and last for up to 36hrs.

The fish is said to not be toxic all year around but only at certain periods. This has raised concerns of ichthyoallyeinotoxic waters.

Datura

Also known as Jimsonweed, is an extremely poisonous plant that once taken can cause respiratory depression, arrhythmia, hallucinations, psychosis, anticholinergic syndrome, dementia and bizarre thoughts.

Datura has seen many children and adolescents die from ingesting the plant. In history datura has mainly been used as a poison for its tropane alkaloids. Especially in the species of D. Stramonium and D. Ferox. Which have caused atropine poisoning.

(Getty)

Although all species of it being poisonous the other effects make it a dangerous hallucinogen, many who have tried to say the experience is terrifying and in some cases deadly. In other uses by indigenous tribes the experiences are used to see visions to connect to ancestors and deities. The plant also has a role in the Aztec religion for similar reasons. Datura is also known in witchcraft and sorcery (says western culture) for ointments and aiding in incantations .

Because of other Alkaloids found in some species Datura is also used in medicine, new and old world.

However I highly recommend you don’t try it. I’ve seen videos of people almost dying.

AGAIN! THIS IS INFORMATIONAL I AM NOT INFLUENCING THE USE OF THESE!!

hi mycopal :) I'm enjoying your blog and admiring your set up, seems very hightech. I'm also reading about cultivating a local (Australian) psilocybin variety we often find in pine forests. Could you point me in the right direction for more info to get started with a simple at home set up for beginners? thanks again for your good work :)

Hello there mycopal! Thanks for reaching out! I appreciate your kind words :) I’m super proud of my lab area! It has taken two years to put together by saving 25-50 a paycheck lol!! Humorously my roommate doesn’t like that i commandeered a whole room … haha, but here we are ;) What mushy are you looking to cultivate? Pscilocybe Tampensis or P. subtropicalis maybe? :)

note: my opinions and advice are based on my own experience and studious research :) there are MANY ways to skin things with… skin… lol; as such, my way should work for most but may not and there are many other mycoeducators with varied approaches that offer great insight in their own right :) I have a few vids on youtube (still new to content creating there and working on adding more) if you wanna see more of what I do as I outline it below! At the end of this long winded MCX response I will provide supportive resources for your consideration in order they are addressed in this response.

🍄Tip: get some nasalpharyngeal swabs so you can actively swab and store mushroom genetics you find in the wild for later reararch ;)

Pretext: I live in a (technically) tropical area so what i do with my research areas may be different than you! I am not sure how much of what im about to detail has been considered by you… but if youve considered it then disregard :) i like to break things down like you’re new new new incase theres any detail to miss.

Introductory Answering your Q: Basically you have to consider a handful of generalized steps for cultivating any fungus; and find TEKs (ie: guides by other mycopal’s that have yielded them success) and make your own tek— I always say that the mycojourney is coming up with your own tek, cobbled together from current teks that speak to you and also are appropriate for your resource availability :) after you get through my response you’ll have homework of studying resources but also: finding TEKs for your specific strain you want to work with :)

My preferred supplies-

Genetics: Dont know about the laws and availability where you live, but formal vendors (like innoculatetheworld ; sporeworks) and informal mycoeducators (who sometimes vendor spores) like PGT and Boomershroomer; are the only spore sources I trust (outside of my own stock;).

Boomershroomer makes quality inflatable monotubs and if you order one of her tubs she sends genetics with it! A little ‘secret’ ;) to be aware of!

PGT has a shop online thats only open sometimes but has a cool collectible trading card system for his genetics (buy the card get the microscopy supply with the card).

ITW and SW are generally up 24/7 and are more formal vendors that also sell microscopy stuff.

I currently use and recommend using 6qt shoebox totes for grow container (the kind that you buy in 5-10 packs from Walmart that have gusseted lids that allow some air flow for ‘sneakers’ to be stored hehe). Note that you can use 12/24/48/72qt etc, but I have no experience with those and they require larger set ups with fans, humidifiers, etc. i prefer less is more :)

I always promote a company called Microppose :) they do amazing filters and just started their own monotub production I think :) my fave substrate is CocoBliss coconut coir pith, and I use lab grade nutritional additives like: gypsum, lime, malt extract, and yeast off amazon in various stages of my process. For grain bags, before I made my own, I only trust: spawnmagic.com ; for my grains I use Producers Pride: Whole Oats (like what is given to horses) from the feedstore :) a 50lb bag has lasted me two years, no lie. I dont use bags, but jars for grain: i use brand: Ball, glass mason jars for spawn containers prior to moving spawn into a tub with substrate. I use Aozita wide mouth masonjar plastic lids (off Amazon) for my jars as they can be modified with filters and then pressure cooked safely and come with rubber seals :)

Now to go into detail to answer your question:

Here we go-deep breath-: lets talk cultivation and research starting:

1. Genetics: (a) multi spore syringe (mss) (can be injected into a grow bag but isnt ideal and may not produce viable strains) (recomended to use mss on agar to isolate your own colonies), (b) spore print/swab (requires agar) or (c) liquid culture (LC) isolate syringe (best option for immediate injection-inoculation of grain containers/bags with best chance for healthy growth and fruiting without time and hassle of the steps I outline further :)

1a. If you are able to work with agar (either make your own or buy premade sterilized, one time use agar plates): then you will start your journey by MSS->Agar->Isolate separate germinating colonies off mss agar plate to new plates (those become your mother isolate plates for each specific strain isolate for whatever strain youre working with). The mother plate should become your cold storage, reference plate as you study growth and fruiting characteristics of the colonies you isolate :) at that pont: You can then use some excised pieces of the mother plate (if in a rush, or if able to wait, till gen1 plates (transfers from mother plate to new plates that become duplicate isolates of the mother plate)) to inoculate a jar or two and also inoculate other plates to continue to ‘run the mycelium out’ / ‘chase the mycelium’.

1b. If you are not able to do agar work then I strongly suggest you seek genetics that are LC syringe. Basically, LC syringes are when mycopal takes a 2nd gen+ plate and moves some of that mycelium to sterile sugar water and lets the mycelium grow out in that water till its all filled with reproduced mycelium and can be sucked up into syringes for better more assured propagation of genetics ;)

Side thought: Spore swabs and spore syringed are dice rolls :) [Spore germination discussion incl quote from TMC- https://at.tumblr.com/mycochaos/uscrybal-commented-on-a-comment-i-made-quoting/pjzr0c86nlyt]

2. Grain spawn: once you have genetics hammered out, next is grain spawn. Grain spawn can be … well, any grain. Really. Mushrooms can colonize and fruit off of wet cardbord… 💯🍄😂, so what “type” of spawn is more about whats available in your area imo. Youll need to sterilize any grain spawn, unless using a premade bag thats already sterilized or taking chances with uncle bens (or similar) rice baggies that arent sterilized but are arguably cleaner than grains scooped out of a bags of grains from a mill or feedstore.

2a. Grain bags: milo, millet, rye berries, corn kernals, rice, whole oats, really any grain or berry that has a husk can be used :) some species prefer specific grains most work on all kinds of grains with varying levels of efficiency. Some grains are more or less robust and some do better when moistened and or pressure cooked than others :) i make my own grain but exclusively use glass mason quart jars :)

2b. Grain jars: my preference. I have recent grai. Jar prep and creation reels/shorts on my instagram and some on this tumblr if you wanna see specifics :) generally I do 15psi, 10 minute venting, for 1.5 hours for my grain and I do not soak grains, only low boil them for 30 min to soften husks and extract some grain nutrients to then use that liquid ‘grain soak’ run off for agar nutrients :)

2c. Uncle Bens rice bags: i dont do this and dont have any good advice on it. I have a UB tek link or two at end for consideration and there is a whole reddit mushroom sub i think r/unclebens (?) for this

2d. All in one bags: i also do not use these and do not recommend them generally. If you have never had a flush and are literally first timing it, then all in one may work fine :) but as much of the process you can source or create yourself the cheaper and often better, imo!

3. Substrate & Spawn-to-bulk (S2B): many mycopals have their own substrate preferences, but for me I prefer shaved coconut coir pith. I generally do a coir block 650g, 500g vermiculite (from garden store), and 50g gypsum + 50g lime for my substrate. I do not sterilize it, but I do heat pasteurize my substrate for at least 12 hours. In an air tight, insulated cooler (like for sodas at a party). You can also cold pasteurize. I like how Boomershroomer and PGT do their sub and learned from them then tweaked it for my own preferences :)

When my jars are fully colonized and observably free from contam, I will S2B using a clean butter knife :) I kinda cut down into the grain in pizza slices then swirl the knife around as I let grains that spill out mix with my substrate and basically do 1qt spawn to 2qt of substrate, saving maybe 10-15% of the spawn and substrate till end to make a special psuedo casing layer once bulk of spawn and substrate are mixed and compacted. Then I do a last sprinkling of the remaining grain like a baby lasgana and cover that with substrate.

Casing layer explainer: A casing layer is a layer of material applied on top of the colonized substrate in mushroom cultivation. It can help improve yield, reduce certain types of surface contaminants, and maintain humidity around the fruiting bodies. In my experience, using an organic sphagnum peat moss mixed with lime powder and filtered water has produced successful tubs without the need for pasteurization or sterilization. Before I used that i just used left over substrate as a casing layer :) — While some species require a specific type of casing layer after substrate colonization, most do not require one. However, adding a casing layer can be beneficial for improving yield and humidity control.

There are different ways to apply a casing layer. Some people apply it as part of the spawn to bulk (S2B) process, while others apply it only after the substrate surface is fully colonized or slightly before pinning. Personally, I have used a casing layer when colonizing pasteurized wheat/rye straw to provide an even fruiting surface for mycelium. I have also experimented with an organic peat and lime dust casing layer (no pasteurization or sterilization), which has helped retain humidity and has not resulted in any contamination. Personally, I've worked some APEs in that past that had a casing layer applied in the same instance as the S2B occuring, essentially the compacted bits colonized faster than the looser casing layer. Where I always use casing layer, is if I use spawn to colonize pasteurized wheat/rye straw, if only to provide an even fruiting surface for the mycelium! But, even then... most cubensis can fruit solely on pasteurized straw, with no casing layer!

4. Colonization and Fruiting:

4a. Youll need to find a TEK based on whatever substrate container you settle on using :) what ive outlined so far is my own tek, using 6qt shoe boxes and the materials ive outlined above. The substrate chamber/container can be a flat container/tote or could be fruited out the top of a grain bag/all-in-one bag OR could fruit off the side of a bag (if its a species like Oyster mushies that prefer side fruiting). I personally use unmodified tubs and will leave lid on my tubs while colonizing and then take lid off and replace with cleaned, upside down, misted 6qt tub that rests on the edges of the right-side-up tub to create a mini climate that allows more passive air flow, allows light to filter in from high angles promoting fruits growing upwards towards the light. Light isnt needed until pinning, and is a secondary trigger to pinning but a primary factor in pigmentation of fruits and growth direction of fruits.

Colonization of most mushroom fruiting fungi is generally between 68-80F, every species and even some varieties within those species, may have specific temp needs. The way mycopals control for this is many things that I dont have to use fortunately :) ‘Martha Tents’ are something to consider. Some use heating pads and humidifiers depending on where they live and where they are compared to the sea💯. I dont have any experience with martha tents or doing more than using my home A/C, a closet, and a heppa room filter to control my temps in the closet and with lots of trial and error…. I now leave my home at 72F, my closet warms to about 74 with the door shut and a/c at that temp, so i let plates, jars and tubs colonize at 74F and then I will move the tubs to open closet with more air flow and is closer to 72F when I am moving to fruiting :) Ive tried to be clever in how I use my space… so i use wire racks and know higher up on the rack is hotter and less air flow whereas lower is cooler and often more air flow.

Something I havent really gone into yet in this response is about sterility, aseptic environments, personal and environmental hygiene. All important to condsider…

4a. Heres my explainer on that:

Strict aespetic and hygiene techniques are not 100% and even using fancy laminar flow is not 100% contamination free potentials! Common contaminant sources include airborne spores, dust, and environmental factors. Pets that roam around your cultivation area could carry spores on their fur or paws, which may be released when they move through your space. Additionally, some fungal contaminants, like Kahms yeast, can present in distinctive ways and there are dimorphic fungal molds that have one or more alternate morphologies, main dimorphism being mold with a secondary yeast form (whence the mold spores get into human lungs, for example with blastomycosis perhaps) as an alternative reproductive presentation within its life cycle (based on temperature and environmental variables). It's essential to understand that spores and other contaminant-genetic cells are incredibly tiny and (in the case of most spores) can suspend in the air, waiting for air currents, light, or vibrations to move them around. Wet spores and bacterial cells oftentimes require animal assistance or liquid splashing/spritzing/spraying to move around, but can often hitch rides of natural environmental variabes (currents of wind, water, dirt, etc). Humans also carry a range of bacteria and fungal organisms on their skin, which can contribute to localized environmental dust and potential contamination when working in hyper sterile or attempted hygienic environments while researching fungi :)

4b: Primordia, Pins and Fruiting: Pinning is a colony activity (that impacts all sides of your cake once colonized) that shifts metabolic processes of the mycelia to pinning and fruiting, this is why when you start getting heavy side pins you rarely get any flat-surface pins and fruits (all the energy goes into what pins form and fruit, first). Additionally, I believe my suggestions will be effective in controlling for environmental triggers to pinning, it is important to note that side pinning can also occur due to other factors such as genetics or substrate composition.

You can reduce the microclimate from being created that promotes side pins, during the process, by ensuring that the substrate is firmly compressed, once S2B occurs, and then sprinkled with a .25" casing layer of the same substrate material (or peat+lime casing). I press my base spawn+cvg mix firmly, and ensuring that the surface is even with least amount of inconsistently level substrate surface. This early compression, keeps the cake against the wall for as longer than doing little to no compression of your spawn+sub. You should ensure your colonizing mycelium isnt exposed to the same lighting you would for fruiting, but light is only a secondary trigger to pinning, FAE+Temp Drop+Humidity pooling/then drying are the primary triggers for pinning once colonization has completed.

5. Harvesting and Dehydrating: i twist and pull my fruits, some will cut at base, some will float their cake with water and then cut or twist and pull at that poimt :) harvesting is preferential imo. I dehydrate fruits 125F for 24 hours in Air Fryer o. Dehydrate mode :)

druid FLUID druid FLUID

What a perfect follow-up to the previous ask!

Druid Fluid is directly related to our pals in The SLAPP, who I did not elaborate on very much.

You see, "druid fluid" is a recipe that changes all the time- but fundamentally, it tends to involve psilocybin. The idea is that generation after generation, human beings in search of a shared spiritual experience will concoct a way to approach that experience uniformly. After all, if you have two druids eating two different mushrooms, each mushroom might contain a different experience.

So, you look at places like Stonehenge, like the Georgia Guidestones, the Carnac Stones, the Nazca Lines, Gobekli Tepe, and you check the soil. Depending on how long the location was last occupied, you may have to dig deep, into regolith and subsoil- but at these locations, you tend to find "leftovers"- that is to say, evidence of a psychoactive slurry that was not used, and dumped out.

In 1959, two brothers- Harlan and Dennis Peakes of Happy Valley, New Mexico- created the first formula for druid fluid that would guide the eventual journeys of The SLAPP- which stands for "Super-Luminal Action from Place to Place."

Their initial recipe called for local peyote, along with a melange of spices for flavor and a muscle relaxer to keep them from- to quote Dennis Peakes himself- "falling out of our lawn chairs."

The first recorded SLAPP journey was performed by the Peakes brothers that very same year. Attempting a double-blind study in the same fashion as remote viewing tests at the time, both would complete their trip, write down their experience, put it into an envelope and hand it to the other brother. They would then declare what they saw, one at a time, and open the envelope for confirmation.

In the '60s, the Peakes brothers made friends on the campus of New Mexico Highlands University. These friends- a mixture of mycologists, astronomers, and spiritualists- expanded on the Peakes recipe for druid fluid, adding psilocybin for the first time. Following a shared experience in which they all encountered the same mysterious signpost in what appeared to be distant space, they agreed upon the significance of what they witnessed and formed the club that would eventually be The SLAPP itself.

Between the '60s and '70s, the recipe changed a few times, mostly for recreational reasons. Variants called "Moon Beer" and "Bespoke-A-Cola" cropped up as a carbonated, less spiritual and more recreational take on the fluid.

The current recipe for SLAPP-grade druid fluid is in the possession of an elderly woman in the Seattle area who, citing safety reasons, refuses to share.

Applied Psychedelics and Psychonautics - Ian, December 12-25 2023

Applied Psychedelics and Psychonautics - Ian, December 12-25 2023

I noticed, while I was high off mushrooms, I entered an altered state of consciousness known as flow state, which is characterized by a sense of time distortion and overall sense of happiness. These things, I realized I was experiencing them because this mushroom was making my mind perform at its peak, and I felt truly alive and fully attentive to my work, deriving great joy in such wonderful subjects as Electromagnetic Energy… truly my schoolwork didn’t feel much like work, but rather an exploration of the world, and I found myself very happy with a positive mental picture of myself as a scholar and explorer: I would explore my chosen subject matter, up close, and gain real experience and knowledge of it, all while taking good notes of it.

Sometimes, I found that it was like I could be a sort of, scholarly conqueror 

And I began to relish in this image of myself and this mushroom forming a kind of mutually beneficial relationship, and then in the dream of showing the world what psychedelic mushrooms can really do to improve people's lives

Today even, one in 10 Americans aged 12 and older is on SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, used for depression or anxiety), and actually, SSRIs are incredibly easy to access, at least for me it was. I’ve had my own encounters with Big Pharma and Big Psych, notably I took Prozac for a short period of time due to a bout of “depression”. 

The main difference between SSRIs and psychedelic mushrooms is that SSRIs are just escapism: you’re zombifying yourself to cope with your feelings. When I was on Prozac, I had such a major disconnect from reality, I always felt so distant and was looking at myself from outside my own body, I realized that the excess serotonin from the drug was causing derealization. 

The issue with medical professionals in this field is that they genuinely believe the issue in a depressed person is something like their amount of serotonin. 

The truth is, the issue is that a depressed person is caught in a negative loop/cycle of their own bad thoughts and actions: they need to have a “breakthrough” thought, a kind of, “Eureka!” lightbulb moment. I am like, 99 percent sure that the big public backlash against using mushrooms, weed, cacti, and other LITERAL PLANTS to self medicate comes from Big Pharma wanting more people to go to them to get POISONED by SSRIs, which are literally demonic (I'll explain how evil Big Psych and Pharma can be in another post, I haven't got enough time to document all that evil in this first post…)

        What I’ve found is that mushrooms grind on your ego and humble you, they help you REALIZE things that are helpful and make you break out of harmful cycles. 

 λόγος you open your mind to new ideas, and λόγος will show you images and give you voices, it will suggest things to your mind that help produce these breakthroughs. , in case you were unaware, is Greek (“logos”), meaning “logic” or “reason”, and it is the name which Terence McKenna and many popular psychonauts have used to refer to the living entity which you can feel in the mushrooms. Many people who take mushrooms get the feeling that something is alive in there… and it wants to talk to you. That mushrooms are animate, and trying to communicate. This is something I believe 100 percent. 

         For example, Albert Hoffman, the guy who synthesized LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) and isolated + named + synthesized psilocybin and psilocin (the psychedelic part of shrooms, which I hope to discuss more in depth later on), told Terence McKenna once that the reason he preferred LSD to shrooms was because he felt that shrooms were animate, that there was something alive inside them. 

I would like to try and communicate with this entity. I believe it is a force for good… some of the things it has revealed to me have been like, crazy spiritually enlightening. I feel much better overall since I've taken them, mentally and emotionally. There is a kind of harmony there. 

Terence McKenna, who I mentioned before (RIP McKenna, he died in 2000, respect) is well known for advocating the positives of using mushrooms (responsibly), kinda like I'm doing now. 

I will probably make a post dedicated to him.

I’m convinced that there’s some real potential in using magic mushrooms to help treat the symptoms of and maybe even cure conditions such as depression:

Every trip I go on, I find that I am able to make “breakthroughs” in my cycles of thinking, which enable me to learn about myself and explore ways to make myself a better person, ways to function on a higher level.

In fact, this post right here might as well be a testament to the way mushrooms can influence the way people think: I was so inspired that I decided to study this, for fun, and I’ve taken it upon myself as a kind of hobby, although I do admit that I do not yet have enough knowledge and experience to call myself a psychonaut just yet, I do hope to get there someday.

In case you didn’t know, a psychonaut is   to some extent, I suppose while partaking in Psilocybin/Psilocin mushrooms, An altered state of consciousness in which the mind functions at its peak, time may seem distorted, and a sense of happiness prevails. In such a state the individual feels truly alive and fully attentive to what is being done.

I saw all sorts of repeating patterns, shapes, colors, it truly was amazing and I was convinced that each symbol I saw held some sort of deeper meaning, at least in my own heart, but it is only through the exploration of my own heart that I begin to understand the rest of the world: certain things will strike chords in you. 

The only thing I have noticed about mushrooms that is negative is that they negatively impact my memory and often while high off them, I find myself disoriented, confused. I got lost in my own school that I've gone to for 3 years while on shrooms. I couldn't tell if I was upstairs or downstairs. I kept forgetting where I was supposed to be, forgetting lots of things… overall, I think we should try to make sure mushrooms don't impact memory negatively on a longer time frame (ex. Causing Alzheimer's or dementia) 

I am, however, not worried enough about this to stop using mushrooms or to stop championing them as a potential solution to mental/emotional/spiritual health problems 

I feel like from the small amount of times I've consumed shrooms, I always walk away from my trip with new knowledge and a sense of inner ☮️. Because of how profoundly this has affected me, I do think it's worth temporary memory loss and confusion, which can be made so that it does not actually fuck with ur life (I'll be making a post later on the responsible use of shrooms)

Other than that note on memory, I have noticed 0 negatives from shrooms. They're literal mushrooms! You aren't even putting smoke in your lungs, you're literally eating a pizza topping or salad ingredient. 

As a Christian it is my belief that there's nothing wrong with the responsible use of these mushrooms. It's a fungi! It's God's creation, same as any other regular Portobello mushroom. Just be aware that some people believe that 

 λόγος is a demonic entity or a malicious influence. 

I do not believe that myself, 

 λόγος is to me like a wise old man

And there's definitely other stuff out there besides angels and demons, so maybe it's one of those other things! 

I'm just warning y'all, it's a risk! It's a spiritual, pyschological, emotional risk to put faith in λόγος, 

But I seriously vouch for its positive impacts. I'm doing this research and taking this risk because I truly believe this is part of the future. 

Overall, I believe in the potential of nature. We should be utilizing the resources provided to us by God :3

Long Covid may be 'the next public health disaster' — with a $3.7 trillion economic impact rivaling the Great Recession: Coronavirus

As someone with Long Covid, it is nearly impossible to get a doctor to even try to help you. I went to 9 different doctors and 3 told me to just go on disability. 5 just wanted to run more tests and try nothing else.

One doctor asked me if I was willing to experiment. He saw that the main issue was inflammation that started in the lungs and then proceeded to infect the rest of my body until it got to my brain which then led to blackouts. I had the exhaustion, brain fog, etc. as well. He switched me to a very pure diet that didn't contain any food that caused inflammation. Pure grains, vegetables, fruit, salmon. He also recommended clams for both their massive doses of B12 as well as iron.

We experimented with doses of prednisone, which reduces inflammation and has been around since the 1950s. I also take curcumin (reduces inflammation) every day along with Taurine and vitamin D every day. Now I'm basically back to normal if I take 2 prednisones per month along with the vitamins.

It took me a year and a half to find my solution. I don't know if it will help anyone else, but I wanted to share because I wish someone would have tried to help me. Note also if I deviate from the diet, vitamins, or prednisone that I feel terrible within a few days

&

I'm currently in the same boat.

I have neurological symptoms (brain fog, debilitating headaches that cause projectile vomiting, visual disturbances, blackouts and certain foods taste/smell like sewage)

Had brain scans, blood tests, EEG, MRI, CT scan, CT angiogram, sleep studies, metabolic panels and on and on since 2021

Nothing has helped and I've been told by doctor's from Northwestern, University of Chicago, Mayo Clinic and John's Hopkins that "we're sorry but we cannot find a cause" and when we bring up long COVID, 98% of the doctors have said, "yeah probably but we have no guidance as to how we diagnose that"

And then you get random well meaning assholes who suggest everything from "wear wet wool socks to bed!", "take a mega dose of zinc" "microdose psilocybin", "my aunt said you have to take magnesium"

I've tried steroids, strong anti inflammatories, anti seizure medication, CBD, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, meditation, an infusion of IgA or IgG I can't remember, completely changing my diet and every symptom still remains

At a certain point, there may be some of us forever affected by this but we're the inconvenient truths people don't want to talk about or even consider because, "well I'm fine after getting it"

Magic Mushroom Microdose Capsules in Canada: Where to Buy Online and What You Need to Know

Magic mushroom microdosing has become increasingly common worldwide, including in Canada. As more people resort to psilocybin microdosing for its possible mental health advantages, the need for safe and convenient ways to buy magic mushroom microdose capsules online in Canada has increased. These capsules provide a discrete and easy way to take microdoses of psilocybin mushrooms, which are famous for their alleged effects on mood, creativity, and cognitive performance.

In this post, we'll examine the world of magic mushroom microdose capsules in Canada, covering their advantages, legality, online purchasing options, and things to consider if you're thinking about trying them. We will also address some commonly asked questions to assist you in making an informed choice.

What is Magic Mushroom Microdosing?

Taking a very tiny, sub-perceptual dose of a psychedelic drug, such as psilocybin mushrooms, is known as microdosing. Usually ranging from 0.1g to 0.3g, these dosages are significantly less than what is needed to experience the psychedelic effects fully. Instead, microdosing aims to gradually reap the benefits of the subtle effects, such as better mood, increased focus, creativity, and emotional balance.

The active ingredient in magic mushrooms, psilocybin, is transformed by the body into psilocin, which binds to serotonin receptors in the brain. This interaction is believed to foster mental clarity and a sense of well-being while also encouraging neuroplasticity, or the brain's capacity to develop new connections.

What Are Magic Mushroom Microdose Capsules?

Small tablets, known as magic mushroom microdose capsules, contain a precisely calibrated quantity of powdered and dried psilocybin mushrooms. People can easily microdose these capsules without having to weigh or prepare the mushrooms themselves. Because of the hidden capsules and constant dosage, users can include microdosing into their routine without drawing attention to themselves.

Microdose capsules are frequently offered online by different suppliers in Canada, with various dosage levels to suit specific requirements.

Benefits of Magic Mushroom Microdose Capsules

Numerous possible advantages have been identified while using magic mushroom capsules for microdosing. Although scientific research is still in its infancy, some preliminary studies and user anecdotal data point to the following benefits:

1. Increased Innovation and Efficiency

Microdosing's ability to increase creativity and productivity is among its most well-liked justifications. Numerous people report feeling more concentrated, having better problem-solving skills, and having more mental clarity. Professionals in creative industries, such as authors and artists, may find this helpful.

2. Improving Emotional Equilibrium and Mood

Psilocybin microdosing is frequently linked to enhanced mental health and mood. People have said they feel more resilient, upbeat, and able to handle stress or worry. The dosages are too low to result in a "high," but they can gradually add to a mild feeling of well-being.

3. Diminished Signs of Depression and Anxiety

Psilocybin's potential to treat mental health issues like sadness and anxiety is gaining attention. Although the therapeutic effects of total doses of psilocybin have been investigated, microdosing may also provide relief from anxiety and depression symptoms without producing a whole psychedelic experience. Users frequently report feeling less reactive to stress and more emotionally balanced.

4. Enhanced Cognitive Function and Focus

Memory and focus are two cognitive abilities that microdosing may improve. Numerous users affirm that they can concentrate, retain information, and think more clearly and systematically.

5. A greater sense of connection and mindfulness

Some people who enjoy microdosing discover that it improves their awareness of their surroundings and sense of mindfulness. This might result from increased awareness of the present moment, better relationships, and a deeper appreciation for ordinary situations.

Canadian Online Purchase of Magic Mushroom Microdose Capsules

Due to the growing popularity of microdosing, magic mushroom microdose capsules are available for purchase on several Canadian internet marketplaces. However, because of safety and legal issues, it's imperative to use caution while buying psilocybin products online.

Psilocybin's Legal Status in Canada

According to the Canadian Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, psilocybin mushrooms are currently listed as a Schedule III controlled substance. This indicates that although it is generally prohibited to possess, manufacture, or sell psilocybin, there are some exceptions. Health Canada started granting specific exemptions for psilocybin-assisted therapy to some patients with life-threatening illnesses, such as cancer, in 2020.

In Canada, it is still unlawful to buy or possess magic mushrooms for recreational use, despite changes in the law and continuous calls for broader access to psilocybin. Nevertheless, this hasn't stopped a lot of internet vendors from selling psilocybin microdose pills through covert and frequently unregulated means.

What to Look for When Buying Magic Mushroom Microdose Capsules Online

Standing of the Vendor: Select a trustworthy supplier with a solid track record and open business policies. Seek out businesses that offer comprehensive product information, such as lab test results, sourcing policies, and dose recommendations.

Quality of the Product: Make sure the psilocybin mushrooms in the capsules you're buying are of the highest caliber and come from organic sources. Some dealers sell mixtures of psilocybin with nootropics or other adaptogens to improve the overall effects.

Options for Dosage: Microdose capsules commonly contain 0.1g to 0.3g of psilocybin. If you are new to micro-dosing, start with a lesser amount and make sure you understand the available dosage alternatives. Numerous providers offer a range of intensities to accommodate personal tastes.

Discreet shipment: Most internet vendors provide discreet shipment to preserve your anonymity in light of Canada's murky psilocybin laws. Before making a purchase, review the vendor's shipping regulations.

Customer service: A trustworthy supplier should provide excellent customer service, including thorough guidance on dose and micro-dosing regimens, and help answer any queries you might have regarding their goods.

How to Take Microdose Capsules of Magic Mushrooms

Setting up and following a dosing regimen is crucial while using magic mushroom microdose capsules. Here are some pointers:

Start Low: If you're new to micro-dosing, it's advisable to begin with a small dose (0.1g). If necessary, raise it gradually.

Microdosing Schedule: The Fadiman Protocol, for example, calls for taking a capsule every three days. Other common patterns include micro-dosing for five days in a row, followed by two days off, which lessens the chance of developing tolerance.

Maintain a Journal: To evaluate the impact of microdosing, keep a journal in which you record your feelings, creativity, productivity, and any negative consequences.

Have patience: Microdosing has mild effects that frequently take time to manifest. Over a few weeks, you can enjoy cumulative benefits even if you don't notice any noticeable changes immediately.

Conclusion

For Canadians wishing to investigate the possible advantages of psilocybin, magic mushroom microdose capsules are becoming increasingly popular. Microdosing has gained a devoted following, whether for cognitive improvement, emotional balance, or creativity. However, if you buy magic mushroom microdose capsules online in Canada, it is essential to be aware of the legal environment and buy from reliable sellers.

Before you start, spend some time learning about the advantages, disadvantages, and dosing schedules of microdosing. Magic mushroom microdose capsules can effectively aid mental health and personal development if used as directed.

Breaking the continuum of PTSD

What breaks the continuim of the trauma response from the past? Peyote? Psycilocybin? Ketamine? Counseling? Reading about PTSD? Ibuprofen? Social Media? Alcohol? Heroin? Fentanyl? THC? Gambling? Promiscuous sex? Time?

I mentioned Ibuprofen because I’d recently read that it is considered for emotional pain. Pain, as it is recorded in the brain, does not distinguish between physical or emotional pain. The neural pathways, areas of the brain, that record physical pain are also activated from emotional pain. When I read that, I thought, “wow, I’m in luck,” and I went out and bought some. (Not really sure if it worked for me).

I mentioned Ketamine because I thought this would also emancipate me from my emotional pain caused by my PTSD. I cancelled a treatment when I realized that I’d be sitting in a room, by myself, on an IV drip,(administered by a Nurse Practitioner.) This was not how I wanted to experience it.

I mentioned Peyote and psilocybin because psychedelics have been helpful for me. I don’t recommend these because the “set” and the “setting” are very important factors to consider and realize first. It’s not for everyone. People metabolize drugs differently. If you go into a session depressed, sad, angry, etc. a psychedelic is not a magic carpet ride. Your guide needs to be present and intent of use needs to be in place. Timothy Leary initiated pioneering work in the field of using a psychedelic (LSD) for therapeutic use. He actually proved it to be the most effective method/process to reduce recidivism amongst repeat offenders in prisons. It worked. But during that time, the Medical Students at Harvard, who were experiencing and utilizing LSD in the clinical studies Leary was developing, started having too much fun with it, shared it with friends, andword got out. Leary was fired and his already successful program ended. (A curious note; At that time, only two professors had ever been dismissed (fired) from Harvard; Timothy Leary and Ralph Waldo Emerson. (The latter for not toting the ecclesiastical dictates of Harvard’s theology biases.) Read the first three chapters of Leary’s autobiography, Flashbacks. Instead of listening to Leary about how to reduce prisoner recidivism, instead the country just built bigger prisons. And 60 years later….more and bigger prisons.

Also, MDMA (ecstasy) have been absolutely proven to be therapeutically beneficial. I could write more about this but it is easier for the reader to google it, it’s benifits, and why it’s illegality impacts it’s use. It really is a shame, and stain against psychiatric treatment protocols in mainstream healthcare. Another issue is time; The session lasts too long for an HMO to justify it’s use. Time is money, after all.

All the other’s I mentioned are coping mechanisms that can get you through a dark and stormy night.

Ghosts

Thinking is a chain process of endless cause and effect. One though can give rise to another contingent or completely unrelated one but the chain is not broken.

So what prompted me to write ‘Ghosts’ as the title for this piece? It was an ‘external’ thought - a piece of writing, by the American Lore Segal, in her short story ‘Dandelion.’ It’s a reminiscence of her last holiday in Austria as a child. This, a country that, in the late 1930s, strongly encouraged jewish citizens to leave Austria as part of their 'Aryanisation' programme. subjecting them to confiscation of their businesses, money, property and subjecting them to significant personal harassment and violence, eventually leading to forcible arrest and deportation to the death camps during the Holocaust.

Her family holiday was in the Austrian Alps, and she is describing the qualities of landscape and light much as JM Turner might have done in paint. Her phrase, ‘light like a mist’ struck in me a resonance which provoked a ‘memory’ thought of a visit to Haggs Castle in Glasgow when I was, possibly a similar age to Lore (10) when she was on her vacation.

My cousin, Hugh, and I, went into the castle grounds which had been closed off for renovations. Whilst exploring the castle interior, which was small-scale and bare of any objects or decoration. After we split up, I was in a small room when I felt a presence to my left. As I looked into an adjacent room through a bare doorway portal, I saw, and felt, a woman staring intensely belligerently at me, dressed in Elizabethan costume, gliding past the door aperture. The quality of what I saw was a bit like carved crystal but very intense, as if the air had congealed to form a ‘pattern’ if the translucent woman. It was less ‘light like a mist’ and more like ‘congealed light’ which obscured the background yet still let it through. One reads in Dante’s Purgatorio that Spirits do not block sunlight, and cast shadows as does human form. Another difference from a mere image engraved in crystal, apart from its gliding animation, was the sense of a being inhabiting the form giving a very powerful sense of presence.

My daft cousin, who had ventured down into the pitch black dungeons, yelled that he’d seen a ghost and we both legged it out of the castle and scrambled back over the site perimeter fencing.

Now I’m a sceptic, so tend to view such experiences with more than a pinch of salt. The sense of taboo in being in a place I was not supposed to be, getting separated from my cousin and being alone in a ‘creepy’ place contributes to a heightened sense of anticipation. I’m also minded of the Buddhist tale of the man haunted by the ‘ghost’ of his recently deceased nagging and shrewish wife who says she will be ‘keeping an eye on him,’ and taunts him, relating all his actions and thoughts which convinces him she really is a spirit. It’s only when a priest instructs him to ask her three questions. The first two: “What did I do yesterday? What am I thinking right now?” ‘she’ answers correctly, but when he asks “How many pebbles am I holding in my hand?” ‘she’ struggles to answer then disappears, never to return. Experiments with psilocybin and LSD clearly demonstrate the power of the mind to create alternative realities, and this power seems clearly linked to development within the human species (read Merlin Sheldrake’s ‘Entangled Life’ chapter 4 for more on this).

So, the question is, are ghosts simply concretized thoughts? hallucinations? The Dharma points out that nothing is, of itself, self-existent. Answers on a postcard address to… onself.

Berskerker Tea

I got to try the infamous “Berserker Tea” lauded by the Norse and Vikings. I had some the other day, but I’m having some as I write this, too, and I feel like sharing what the experience is like:

First off, my partner is from a very traditional Norwegian family. His gift to me upon arriving to move in with me was a drinking horn trimmed in hammered gold, carved from an ox horn, and etched with the symbol of a wolf. With him, he also brought... recipes.

A little cultural factoid: Before one can drink from a drinking horn, you have to “blood the horn”, aka cut yourself - usually nothing worse than a papercut - and swipe the blood into the grooves of the animal or deity carved onto the horn itself. It’s done in order to protect the warrior drinking from it from bad luck and evil spirits, particularly before and during battle. To my understanding, the blood “feeds” the figure carved on the horn in order to call upon its protection.

“Berserker Tea” is essentially the closest modern equivalent to the draught that Norse berserker warriors would consume before going into battle. Some of the ingredients are a secret, but it’s mostly comprised of tea (I prefer chamomile), mead (a wine-like alcoholic beverage made from fermenting honey and is also very high in healthy probiotics), and psilocybin mushrooms steeped for hours or days at a time and consumed cold. The longer the mix is allowed to sit, the more potent the drink becomes. It’s not unusual to mix cannabis in, either, in order to stimulate the appetite and make it easier to sleep. Shrooms can suppress the appetite and stimulate different areas of the brain so it’s difficult to sleep, and weed naturally counters those symptoms so you can snack and sleep whenever you genuinely want to.

It smells amazing when it’s still hot and steeping. Like an ancient Pagan holiday.

In spite of the alcohol, it doesn’t make you sleepy or give the sensation of feeling tipsy or drunk. I only have about a gram of mushrooms in mine, which is about the clinical equivalent of a microdose, but holy shit.

First off, at the dosage I prefer, you don’t actually hallucinate. Colors are more striking and beautiful to look at, art is more captivating to see, and stimming feels amazing, but you aren’t going to see little green men or dragons circling the sky. Jokes you’ve heard before become hilarious again like it’s the first time you’ve heard them. Most forms of chronic pain disappear. Music is more than music. Your mood becomes buoyant and pleasant. Feelings of anxiety and depression go away. Chronic fatigue and sleepiness just... evaporate. PTSD and traumatic memories and flashbacks aren’t traumatic anymore - they’re there, and you may actually remember more detail or uncover memories you’ve blocked out, but they can’t overwhelm you anymore. You can choose to observe your memories and make a real, firm statement like, “That sucked and it wasn’t okay, but I’m not going to be afraid of it anymore,” and it works. 

Unlike caffeine, you genuinely feel awake and alert (it’s a lot more like having the right balance of B12 in your system rather than a stimulant like caffeine), and the effects last for 8 hours or more. There is no crash-landing or hangover, and when you sober up, the realizations and observations you made with things like trauma and triggers for depression actually stick.

I wanted to cry the first time I felt the tea kick in for me. It feels like the way antidepressants should feel. I wasn’t hiding from any psychological pain, and the tea wouldn’t let me. It almost feels like it forces you to confront what’s been bothering you, in fact. It doesn’t let you become numb to emotional and psychological pain the way something like opioid use can. It turns your brain into an open book for your own perusal, where the facts and truths are plain in front of you, but as harmless as an ink blot on paper. It lets you process in a way where the most uncomfortable and unexplored passages in your mind are well-lit and safe to delve into.

I didn’t end up sacking Rome or bush-whacking supply trains in the Teutoburg Forest while contemplating rallying behind Versingetorix over in Gaul, but it’s still a pretty awesome experience.

Right now, with another round in my system, all I feel is pleasant and comfortable while also contemplative about my life in general. I’m able to be a little more critical of myself without being self-deprecating, while also being able to be vastly more forgiving of myself, too. There are no strange hallucinations dancing in front of my eyes, and the only compulsion I have that’s out-of-character for me is that I feel like smiling a lot more than usual. I think I may put some music on my headphones and take a walk in the woods. Who knows? It’s a great day.

How to Make Mushroom Tea

If you’re new to psilocybin mushrooms, drinking infused tea is an ideal way to start your journey. It’s safe for sensitive tummies and can help control dosage.

Mushroom tea is available in many varieties and is claimed to have a variety of healthy benefits including improving your response to stress, strengthening your immune system, and boosting gut health.

How to Make Mushroom Tea

Ingredients

Mushroom tea is a health-boosting beverage made from steeping chopped mushrooms in hot water. It can be made with a variety of different types of mushrooms, including medicinal and culinary varieties such as reishi and shiitake. It’s easy to make at home, and can be enjoyed as part of a healthy diet. It can also be used to add flavor and nutritional value to other dishes, such as soups, sauces, omelettes, or stir fries.

The most important thing to keep in mind when making mushroom tea is to use high-quality, fresh ingredients. This means choosing mushrooms that are organic, free of pesticides, and grown in a way that doesn’t harm the environment. You should also avoid using any additives or preservatives, as these can have negative effects on your body.

Once you have your ingredients, it’s time to start brewing. First, you’ll need to boil a cup of water. Then, add your chopped mushrooms to the water and let it steep for about 10 minutes. After that, you can strain out the mushrooms and enjoy your tea. You can also try adding some sweetener to your tea if you prefer it to be a little more flavorful.

If you’re interested in buying mushroom tea online, be sure to choose a company that offers a wide selection of options. It’s also a good idea to read reviews before buying anything. This can help you narrow down your choices and find the best product for your needs.

Another great thing about mushroom tea is that it can be easily combined with other beverages. You can add it to coffee, green tea, or even kombucha to boost its benefits. You can also drink it on its own or use it as a base for smoothies.

Before you start brewing your own mushroom tea, it’s a good idea to discuss it with your doctor. They can tell you whether it’s safe for you to consume and how much you should drink. Mushroom tea can have a powerful effect on the brain, and it’s important to understand its effects before you start drinking it.

Preparation

Mushroom tea is one of the easiest ways to ingest magic mushrooms. It’s safe for beginners and experienced psychonauts alike, but it’s important to follow the proper preparation guidelines in order to avoid any unpleasant side effects such as stomachaches or nausea. The process is simple, but it’s critical to use a scale and be very careful when measuring out the dose. It’s also recommended to use caffeine-free tea blends so as not to interfere with the psilocybin experience.

To make mushroom tea, first cut the mushroom into small pieces. This will increase their surface area and allow the psilocybin to infuse into your tea more quickly. Then add the shrooms to a cup and fill it with hot water. Stir and steep for 15-17 minutes. After that, strain out the mushroom pieces and enjoy the tea!

If you want to add some extra flavor to your brew, simply stir in some lemon juice or ginger. You can also try adding a splash of orange or some honey to boost the flavor even more. Mushrooms can have a slight earthy taste, so incorporating other flavors can help to mask this.

One of the main reasons why many seasoned psychonauts prefer to take their shrooms in the form of tea is that it reduces nausea. Eating raw mushrooms can cause a cramped stomach due to the fact that you’re literally “poisoning yourself” with fungus. Drinking the mushrooms in tea, on the other hand, allows your body to absorb the psilocybin through your intestines’ natural absorption capabilities. This can eliminate the nausea that is commonly associated with eating magic mushrooms and can make your trip much more enjoyable.

Another great reason to make mushroom tea is that it’s very easy to prepare and can be made at home in the comfort of your own kitchen. In addition, it’s very inexpensive to make and is a great way to get the most out of your mushrooms! As a bonus, it’s also very healthy and full of antioxidants. So, next time you’re looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy mushrooms, give mushroom tea a try!

Storage

The best way to store mushroom tea is in the refrigerator. This will keep the tea fresh for about a week after it has been made. The storage time can be increased by storing the tea in an airtight container and keeping it in a cool, dark place.

Mushroom tea can be drunk on its own or mixed with other ingredients to enhance the taste and effect. Adding some spices or a drizzle of honey can amplify the flavor and make it sweeter. The tea can also be paired with other herbal blends, like hibiscus or licorice, to make it more enjoyable. It can even be infused with chaga, reishi, or cordyceps for added health benefits.

It is important to note that the effects of mushroom tea can last up to six hours, which makes it a great choice for people who need a prolonged psychedelic experience. However, the duration of the trip can vary depending on the type of mushroom used and the user's own biology. Moreover, the potency of the mushrooms used to make the tea can also impact how fast the trip starts and ends.

The process of making mushroom tea is similar to that of making any other kind of herbal tea. First, the mushrooms should be ground into a powder. This can be done using a coffee grinder or another kind of food processor. Then, the ground mushrooms should be placed in a cup or mug and hot water should be poured over them. The tea should be allowed to steep for ten minutes or so before it is consumed.

In some cases, consuming the tea can help reduce nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy. Moreover, it can help boost immunity and improve gut health. It can be used to relieve anxiety and depression, which is especially beneficial for cancer patients as their treatment can lead to a great deal of stress and discomfort. Mushroom tea is also an excellent alternative to other over-the-counter antinausea medications. While many people use it for psilocybin-enhanced experiences, it can also be used for more tame trips, including visual stimulation and relaxation.

Flavor

Mushroom tea is a tasty and nutritious way to enjoy the many health benefits of mushrooms. It can be prepared with a variety of ingredients, depending on your preferences and needs. It can be enjoyed anytime, day or night.

A great alternative to chewing a mouthful of dried mushrooms, infused tea is easy to digest and may help prevent indigestion for those with sensitive tummies. This classic tea method can be especially helpful for easing into a journey with psilocybin mushrooms, as it can help mitigate nausea while allowing you to control your dosage to avoid overdose.

The best time to consume mushroom tea is early in the morning, as it can help increase energy levels throughout the day. It can also boost mental clarity, reduce stress, and improve mood and overall well-being. Mushroom tea is also rich in antioxidants, which can help with fatigue and stress. In addition, it can be an excellent source of potassium, which is essential for proper heart and muscle function.

To make mushroom tea, you will need a handful of dried or fresh mushrooms, hot water, and herbs or spices. If you are using fresh mushrooms, wash them well and finely chop them. If you are using ground mushrooms, simply add them to your boiling water and let steep for 10-15 minutes before straining. Add your choice of herbs or spices to enhance the flavor and experience. Some popular options include ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, mint, and rose.

Adding a pinch of powdered ginger root to your mushroom tea can help relieve stomachaches and nausea. It can also stimulate the digestive tract and enhance absorption of nutrients. In addition, a pinch of powdered black pepper can help increase energy and alertness.

Mushroom tea can be enjoyed any time of the day, but it is particularly beneficial in the morning before or during a trip with psilocybin mushrooms. It can help mitigate any unpleasant side effects associated with psilocybin, such as nausea and dizziness.

While the idea of drinking a cup of mushroom tea might sound weird to some, it has become a trendy trend among celebrities and health nutritionists who are reaping its potential perks. Moreover, it is one of the easiest recipes that you can try out at home.
