Hey y'all, hope you're doing well :) As the title states, I just recovered from an incredibly potent trip — specifically on 1.5g of PE — and I thought I might share my experiences for anyone here who might find them interesting or relatable! I'm all ears for any comments lol

For background context: 2 days ago, I microdosed on about 0.25g of the same strain of PE I've been growing for a while out of curiosity. While I definitely felt something — specifically a liquid sensation in my limbs and an increased awareness of my subconscious — it didn't give me the kind of journey I was looking for. I wanted to gain a much deeper understanding of my identity and overall purpose in the world — and it was that desire (and a touch of hubris) that drove me to take a much higher dose... on an empty stomach.... without a tripsitter 😅 and while I wouldn't do that again in retrospect, I don't really regret it.

It took about 30 minutes for me to feel the effects, and another 30 for them to really start hitting me in the face. I distinctly remember becoming physically and emotionally restless — like I was gleeful, angry, and depressed all at the same time — and it got to the point where when I looked at myself in the mirror, I couldn't tell where my pupils began and where they ended. I kept biting my arm and repeating things out loud to keep myself grounded for the next hour or two, chief among them being "There's meaning to it, there's meaning to it, there's meaning to it," before I got it in my head to walk to the nearest park and try (emphasis on try, lmao) to make flower crowns out of the field clovers, not giving a damn about how weird it might've looked to ongoing passerbys. I spent the next three hours afterwards gazing stupidly at the clouds while laying down on the meadow, reconnecting with friends online I haven't talked to in months, and having an incredibly emotional (but thankfully productive) conversation with my mom over the phone before I realized the sun had already set, at which point I shakily picked myself up off the grass and stumbled home with a harrowing realization of how fragile our perception of reality truly is, a newfound resolution to finally speak to a therapist about my personal issues, and way too many mosquito bites all over my arms and legs I didn't notice before lol

Now that I'm back in my room with a clearer and (mostly) sober mind, I'd love to know if any of y'all have had similar experiences or unique ones that you find notable enough to report. Tysm if you're still here, and have a great day/night wherever you are ❤️

This is about Golden Teachers specifically, I was curious if I usually trip on 2.5g dried, how much would I need to lemon tek for my trip to have a relatively same intensity. For example would 2gs lemon tekked turn out to be as intense as regular 2.5g dried?

thanks

Im growing Enigma for the first time and i was giving them some sprays when i realized all 3 shoeboxes have more spherical blobs i thought it was maybe some outrageous contamination but i flicked the largest one and to my suprise it bruised blue i couldn't find any picks to compare it to online so is this rare or just a odd mutation

I've started doing magic mushrooms for my mental and physical health, with the intention of eventually taking a heroic dose so I can get some answers for problems in my life that I have been unable to solve despite all my efforts. I have heard that some people can get help from the mushroom or the entities with their health, not just their mind, so this is pretty much my last hope of maybe getting information on what's wrong with my body and what I need to do to heal it. So I have been taking one dose once every 2 weeks, starting off with very small amounts (less than half a gram) and slowly working my way up.

I usually just lay back with my eyes closed for the trip and enjoy feeling very relaxed and peaceful for the next few hours until the trip is over. However, I have found that around the 1.5g mark my automatic breathing will occasionally stop for about 10 seconds before starting up again.

My second most recent trip I tried my largest dose yet: 2g. The breathing problems were much worse. Not only would my automatic breathing stop for up to 30 seconds before starting up again, but during these periods it would feel like my chest was being squeezed and all the air would be expelled from my lungs. This made those 30-second periods very uncomfortable and I often felt like I was being suffocated. I've been told, however, to just "surrender to the experience" and "let the mushroom do its work," so I figured this was just part of the trip and I was supposed to let it happen.

If I tried to manually breathe during one of these periods, it felt like there were tight bands around my chest, and it was very difficult to draw air in, and what little I could suck in would immediately all get squeezed out of me again. It felt like being squeezed, held, and then released by a boa constrictor over and over again for 3 hours.

This was a very distressing experience for me. I have had one trip since then of about 1g and it was much better. I felt very calm and only once did my breathing stop for about 5 seconds before returning.

Is this normal? I did countless hours of research on psychedelics of all kinds before deciding to take my first dose and I never once heard anyone describe reacting to mushrooms this way. Is there a way to stop this from happening or find a way around it? Or am I an outlier case and mushrooms, for whatever reason, simply aren't compatible with me?

I have tried every imaginable treatment for my health problems over the last 10 years, many of which should have helped, and all of which I was a total non-responder to. All my doctors have been useless. I'm a dietitian by trade, and I cure people of 'incurable' chronic illnesses all the time, even some very extreme ones that there aren't any drugs for yet. I have also healed people who have my own conditions. So I know healing is possible, but I seem to be able to heal everyone but myself. Psychedelics are my last resort and I'm going to be very upset if I find out I'm the one person on earth who could have a fatal reaction to a 5g dose and can never have that kind of trip. Please help.

Edit: I forgot to mention that 1g and up and I find that, if I try to get up and walk around, I feel a bit wobbly and unbalanced, which I have not heard anyone else describe experiencing either.

My friends and I have decided to take shrooms while we’re staying at a camp surrounded by nature, and we have a trip sitter. Me and two of the others want to take 2.5 g because we want a proper experience with visuals, colors, and so on, but our friend, who has taken them before, says it’s too much. He is pretty cautious about drugs and psychedelics, so what should we do? (We’ve smoked a lot of weed, and that high just feels like whatever now.)

psilocybin activates serotonin in the peripheral nervous system that extends throughout the body reducing the fatigue signal sent to your brain, and without a fatigue signal, I think that means you can break ceilings in your physical capability that you previously couldn’t. True or not?

So I recently just finished up a boomer shroomer tub and wanted to upscale, I have 125 qt tubs that I was thinking of converting and was wondering if it is plausible to? Any help would be appreciated thank you

I took 2 grams on engima mushrooms and 1 gram mdma, and my friend matched it(me and my friend are enter linked we always have the exact same trip).I test all my drugs before use. This was my first time doing shrooms and idk why I thought taking mdma let alone the most iv'e ever done with it was a good idea. I heard enigma was a really potent mushroom aswell, idk to much about that so if anyone would wanna share js type in the comments.

So we took the shrooms around 11 pm, the visuals started at around 11:30 and they stayed very light for around an hour, js some tiny movement so me and my friend thought might as well take some Mdma and we smoked a little weed ( granddaddy purp cart) me and my friend take around 0.25 to start which is my average alone when taking md and it makes me roll pretty hard. Around 10 minutes or so later visuals kicked in way more instantly. I started seeing tracers when I move stuff and waves in objects and my mood sky rocketed with euphoria. We played some music, turned on my sunset light and laid down in my bed ( the room was very dark still with the light turned on )

12:30 ish pm, It's like I can feel the music move throw my veins and then we decided to put a movie on ( entergalactic), 16 minutes in we both check the time because we thought the movie was going on for ages and it should have been finished, so we check how long and I see its only been playing for 16 min, this is when it starts to get weird and we chat and talk about the time dilation, then we choose to not watch the rest to not waste the trip, so we put music back on and start looking around.

1:30 ish am, The md started to slow down and because we forgot that it comes in waves, we took more, another 0.25 each, then the original md comes back and the euphoria is screaming throw the roof. The visuals of the mushrooms is coming way harder too, I closed my eyes and i saw rainbow coloured lights flashing and people.

2:30 am ish, the mushrooms start peeking and both doses of the md is hitting, Waves everywhere and its like im zoomiing into everything I look at, then I look at my tv and my friend sees it first but it looks like bugs are crawling out from the corner of my wall and from behind the tv and they crawled around for bit then I saw them with little coulorful hats on. They then started coming to opposite sides on the room on the walls and the other side on my blinds, they started making weapons and speaking in little voices then i saw them closer and they were like tiny people made from dust and they would swing around like spiders with webs, my whole roof was covered in webs and then each side meet in the middle of my celling and had a fight there was like blood splatter and tiny screams. Me and my friend are freaking out we thought they were gonna start hurting us so we start waking some and they poof right back into dust after you touch them but the side on the blinds won. They started celebrating and making more weapons and guns they then selected 2 leaders which grow angle wings and at this point my friend says "why don't we talk to them" so it feels like my soul leaves my body and we both fly up and letting you know we can look down and see are human bodys, anyway we fly up and we talk to the two leaders and there gurads where making weapons and ready to stab us but the leaders said they are not here to hurt us but to guide us throw this trip, after that we glid back down into are bodys and it feels like iv'e been reborn the euphoric feeling I have is so crazy I ended up ghost nutting.

4 am ish , Both of us are very aroused and we are super high and tripping so we go to separate rooms and crank it out for I wanna say 2 hours

6 am ish, we both go back to my room and we think its smart to take 0.1 md another reduce even though only the frist dose was starting to wear off so we took it and it hit harder than any other dose did. We were missed up and I mean I couldn't even open my mouth, my jaw was so tight I had tooth aches the next day. We were over heating and turned my fan on and drank lots of water then we both started freaking because out of the corner of the room we both described seeing a face on are wall and micro geometric shapes not like lsd but still, then my visual went like a blurry screen were only a few pixals are loading and slow frames, and it felt as such as I was being carried throw to a diffrent side and when I crossed the laggy vision and pixals stopped and I felt new if that makes sense.

7:30am ,my friend some how convinces me to do 0.2 md and so we both do that each and mind you we are still missed up so we completely forgot that we took it so we take another 0.2g md in total 1 gram the whole night.

8:00am the md is slowing down and were waiting for the next to hit, the mushroom visuals are almost all gone.

9:30 my friend's mum comes to pick him up and thats when the md hits hardest and we are both rolling are brains, anyway he leaves idk what happened to him but I layed there for a couple hours watching movies and eating food while rolling hard.

12:00pm, the effects of the md are wearing off and i'm starting to have the hardest crush ever I feel drained and tired,sad,dead,mad all at the same time and I ended up sleeping the rest of the day, then I had to get up at 6 for work.

Questions, does anyone have any advice on how long I should wait for my serotonin to go back up, I wait 3 months but should this time be any longer because of the high dose and because I only waited 1 month after my last roll to do this one.

And if anyone knows anything about shrooms or have advice on anything Id love to know.

Thank you for reading

I have 2 AIO Ochras growing from the same source and same substrate. One is growing great and just had first harvest. This one however has lots of puffy white blobs growing. Smells nice and mushroomy but not seeing much actual growth besides the blobs.

How does this Jack Frost cake look so far?

This is my first time just wondering if anything looks bad or good or in between.

I'm trying to get fruiting in a tropical area but the temperature is around 30 degrees Celsius 24 hours a day, what do you guys do when air-conditioning isn't an option? All Im achieving is aborts

Ok, so this is subtropicalis and about 3 weeks ago, I saw the dreaded trich forming on two spots on this cake... both were neat the same end of the cake...I beat them down with peroxide abs they didn't come back but I did get these words yellowish patches near those spots...I decided to extricate that section as aseptically as possible... all was going well until about a week ago, when I started seeing these weird patches that look like someone took a finger and pressed down... not sure what it is...as a precaution, I've already inoculated another grain bag with more subtropicalis spores... had anybody seen this before or just happen to know what it is?
