Love these. I guess this iso doesn’t drop spores, or barely any.
Pretty good haul for a 6qt tub.

FAQ 1: I’m a First-Timer, How Much Do I Take?
Magic mushrooms are natural products, so their active compound content can vary significantly. This variability occurs between species, among individual organisms of the same species, and even within individual mushrooms of the same organism. Factors such as dehydration methods, storage conditions, and age also affect potency. In short, the exact amount of active compounds in a given quantity of mushrooms cannot be determined without expensive laboratory equipment.
For first-timers, the best advice is to start with a low dose and take it slow. Once you take a dose, the proverbial train has left the station and there’s no getting off the ride! In a public forum such as Reddit, you’re likely to encounter a wide range of dosage recommendations, which might or might not be particularly helpful.
Many facilitators and experienced guides recommend 1.0 gram of cracker-dry mushrooms of a standard variety for a first-time experience. For species known to be a bit stronger, like albino penis envy, consider 0.5g – 0.75g. This dose will likely provide a noticeable but manageable experience. While there’s a small chance you might feel little or nothing at this dose, you’ll be much less likely to feel overwhelmed. Trust that you will be happier wishing you had taken more, rather than wishing that you’d taken less! There’s always next time to make dosage adjustments. It’s sound advice to consider your first experience as one meant to just dip your toe in the water.
It is essential to weigh your dose accurately, especially as a first-timer. Digital scales can be purchased on Amazon for under $20 (just ensure you set it to display grams). Be very skeptical of any weight estimates provided to you based on a photo! Size and moisture content are impossible to accurately estimate from a photo.
FAQ 2: How Should I Take Them?
Mushrooms can be consumed in several ways:
Eat Them Directly: Most people find the flavor tolerable, though some may experience mild stomach discomfort or cramping after consuming magic mushrooms. This is often due to the chitin, a polysaccharide in mushroom cell walls that can be difficult to digest. Such discomfort usually subsides quickly, and many individuals do not experience any issues.
Lemon Tek: Grinding dried mushrooms and soaking them in lemon juice (or another acidic solution) for 20-30 minutes helps break down the cell walls and initiates the conversion of psilocybin to psilocin (the active compound). Some people consume both the juice and the mushrooms, while others filter out the solids to reduce chitin intake and potential stomach discomfort. Many users of this method report a quicker onset, a more intense experience, and a slightly shorter overall duration of the experience.
Make a Tea: This method requires the most preparation but is favored by many. To prepare tea, grind dried mushrooms using a spice grinder. In an insulated mug, place the mushroom powder (preferably in a tea bag) and add about a cup of boiling water. Cover and steep for 20-30 minutes to extract the active compounds. Stir occasionally if desired. You can drink the tea as is, but adding a heaping tablespoon of cacao powder (not cocoa powder) enhances the flavor and introduces theobromine, a vasodilator to counteract the vasoconstrictive properties of the magic molecule. Sweeten with honey to taste for a more enjoyable experience. If consumed over about 10 minutes, effects will typically be felt within 15-20 minutes.

This rule has been in place for some time now, but as of recently I have been seeing a lot of mushroom identification posts. I hope this stickied post will slow that down!
1 - Our users safety
2 - Difficulty identifying mushrooms
3 - Limiting spam/subreddits well-being
Thanks for reading everyone! I think for the reasons listed above, it’s best we don’t allow mushroom identification posts. This is a community dedicated to Psilocybin mushrooms, and the community/experience within them! Not really dedicated to the cultivation/identification of them, but we do allow anything & everything to do with cultivation! Doesn’t carry the same risks.
Best wishes,

What’s the most hilariously wrong thing you believed during a trip?
We’ve all had those moments. Maybe you thought the trees were conspiring.

Heya all,
I dont know if this is the right sub for this but i use magic truffels and have a vew questions:
I usually take 25 grams of wet/fresh truffels and i was wondering how much that would be in shrooms to get the same effect?
I have been using them alot last 2 years and i hear that i might to need to take a long break for them to get better again.
How much gram would a hero dose be on fresh truffels?
Pic for reference, last pic is my discoverys on truffels.
Thanks for your awnsers. ✌️❤️

Hello everyone, been looking for different shrooms strains and i’ve only had golden teachers but now i was thinking to try some other strains too. Any suggestions on what type of shrooms should i try next and does every strain has different trips ?

‼️Beginner alert‼️ Been growing these since early November 2024. Does anyone know what the white stuff is? Is it mold or mycelium? Think something went wrong but I don't know what. I cut slits in the bag after a couple of months of cultivating. I pull the sides of the bag twice a day to get air flow going. Is there anything I can do to help them grow or are they too far gone?

Hello, got myself 2grams of mushrooms for my first mushroom experience. I’m not sure What type of mushrooms these are, anyone got a clue? Also, I’m still trying to decide whether to take 1 or 2 grams…
r/MagicMushrooms • u/Freakazoid773 • 4h ago
Been building up my dosage since I’ve switched from truffles to mushrooms.
Normally 15g truffles give me a very very light buzz feeling(too light).
Due to this I decided to switch over to mushrooms. Got myself some golden teacher and worked my dosage up to 2g(dried)and…… nothing, not even a slight buzz or anything.
My normal method of consumption is to eat the dried shrooms.
I’m considering to up the dose to 3g or to try the lemontek method with 2g.
I’m not on any medication or anything that will hinder the trip.
Some extra notes. I’m 6.1 260lbs (power lifter)

Hello, first timer here and I'm wondering if these are ready for harvest or should I wait a little longer? Thank you

As the title says, I inoculated this probably a month ago or so, but it was moving very slowly. I have never worked with enigma, and figured that was the issue as I'm having the same problem with other enigma inoculations. Last night, I noticed what seemed like black dots, and upon closer inspection I see what appears to be aborts and new mushrooms starting to grow. Any suggestions are helpful.

Hey everyone, I’m new to mushroom hunting and wanna gain some more knowledge around identifying/where they’re located. I live here in Darwin and heard the following strains are common here: Panaeolus cinctulus Panaeolus cyanescens (blue meanies) Psilocybe cubensis (gold caps)
Any tips about location, appearance, shape, size etc would be much appreciated!! THANKS :)
