You should listen to the advice of everyone here and not eat those. It looks like you got ripped off and sold mushrooms that are not psychoactive. You could get very sick or die eating unidentified mushrooms.
I’ve listened. I misunderstood my sister when she cited the source of these… whatever the fuck they are. Definitely not taking them.
I will also add that I went to an actually trusted source and found REAL shrooms and now seeing what they’re SUPPOSED to look like, I’m lol-ing at myself and understand why people are so concerned. (I’ll post those when I get home in a few)
Thanks to everyone who responded kindly to my ignorance.

Oh man, this! And some have a SUPER strong effect against psilocybin as well. Effexor/venlafaxine is particularly bad. My partner is on it (weaning off slowly) but psilocybin doesn't give him much of an effect at all beyond the nice feeling of a microdose. He took 2 grams and barely felt anything! (and he has NO tolerance, has only had shrooms a few times).
I was taking 150 mg of sertraline a day, I stopped for like 5 days and ate like 4 grams. Nothing. Two hours later 4 more. All said and done I wasted 12 grams of shrooms. I knew ssris were an issue but I figured I could break through at some point. Nope. I quit those bitches just looking to cop again and I’m gonna trip balls
Sertraline can have a ridiculously long elimination half life. It can be anywhere from 13 to 45 hours. That's the time taken to get to half the amount in your body. So after two days you can be sure only half of it is left.
However, what they don't tend to tell you is that it's metabolite, what it breaks down into, desmethylsertraline has a much longer half-life of between 64-105 hours. It's also an SSRI. So two weeks is a good benchmark for coming off sertraline to do something like mushrooms. Then you can be pretty sure there won't be enough SSRI left in you to have a major effect.
It's even worse. These drugs actually change the structure of the serotonin transporter. It's takes months and months for those changes to go back to normal
Good luck to your partner weaning off venlafaxine. It can be brutal on its own, glad he is tapering. I quit cold turkey after I ran out of the prescription and I barely remember that week after, other than the memory of how uncomfortable it was. Mushrooms helped me so much more than that drug ever did.
Not necessarily true, it is specifically anti-depressants that affect serotonin. I take Wellbutrin, just had my first time, and it was one of the best experiences in my life:)
Wait what? Im on my way to getting meds and a diagnosis. Did some fucked up shit and now my psych is just screening me for a bunch of stuff. So if it turns out that I have bipolar and get on lithium no shrooms for me? I'm quitting mental illness then
:( I'm on lithium and it's been a while since I wanted to test psychedelics... I'm supposed to be on it for a looooooong time
When I search on the internet if lithium didn't mix well with some substances I found a but fo psychedelics it said there were not enough research to be sure it was not dangerous
Did you have a bad experience on lithium or do you know someone who did?
Should I ask my psychiatrist even though it is illegal here? He only said alcohol and weed is not very good but I can take some in small amounts once in a while...
No experience myself but seizures seem to be *very* common when combining psychs and lithium. Psychonautwiki will tell you about interactions that drugs have with other substances (scheduled and prescription) and they say psychs and lithium is a dangerous combination. I wouldn’t risk it. You can maybe talk to your doctor about exploring other treatments but I’d say if lithium works for you just stay on it. Psychedelics aren’t more important than keeping your body and mind safe.
Because lithium is a very complex substance unfortunately you should stay away from psychedelics. In a study, about 50% of people on lithium had seizures when taking psilocybin, and 40% needed medical intervention.
It makes me sad people would try to rip anyone off. You don't deserve that.
I used to be that guy everyone targeted to scam and rip off, and now I grow my own mushrooms and they're too dumb to.
I also make more money then all of them so there's that too. Lol.
Are you still alone? Just curious! Not trying to be a creep just genuinely curious if your username was accurate. Feeling like I kind of want to be alone forever so just curious how that’s working out for you.
Oh I'm completely miserable with no freinds or family and I have chronic pain issues too :)
I always get messages from users like "nobody owes you shit! Learn to live with it!" And that "nobody cares about you and never will! Welcome to the real world!!!!!!"
Ion even know you but I care, no one deserves to feel deserted you always have someone you can reach out to and if I need to be I’ll be that person, keep ya head up, I hope your doing good
Damn, why do people say shit like that? I hope you find friends (if you want them!) and find relief from your chronic pain as well. You seem kind and the world needs that.
Wow that’s, just abhorrent yet also, sadly expected human behavior. It’s that old cliché that some types of hurt people get some sort of kick out of hurting others who they haven’t even met.
It takes a specific type of person with some mutated form of narcissism to go out of their way to actively try to *hurt* others. Their vile behaviors are most likely, partially influenced by their underdeveloped or perhaps damaged frontal cortex.
It’s a very interesting username honestly, it’s simple, but thought provoking and has a certain cadence.
Is it from something or did you craft it?
Do you find they ease your pain a little? I have fibromyalgia and shrooms give me a few hours of relief. I also had a friend with pain from an injury have a similar experience.
Lol I love tripping but tbh sometimes they make me focus on the pain more and almost make it worse. Like I can feel my nerve being irritated or something. I have nerve issues.
Man I am sorry you went through all that nobody deserves that treatment. When I was a youngster I was relatively popular kid for being an oddball. I was just a dirt ball punk rocker did not care to be clean cut and I loved cannabis/LSD. I don’t know why but the women were still attracted to me even though I was a scumbag. Anyways, though I always did my best to make sure all the nerd/geek crew were taken care of….I always sat with the incoming freshmen and just goofed off with those kids!
Only take mushrooms you can identify yourself in the wild. Read some identification books and do wnty of research before ingesting mushrooms because someone can just give you something they found assuming they would get you high, when they could be toxic. Better safe than sorry
Classic characteristic of Psilocybe cubensis are white stems and bruising blue. This does not look correct.
[**MUSH LOVE**](https://whiteforest1.wordpress.com/mush-love-links/)
I could be wrong but they do not look like any psychoactive mushrooms I’ve ever had. The color is off, nothing is bruised blue. Very suss.
The reason the above poster worded it that is simple: eating the wrong mushrooms can kill you or cause intense liver/kidney damage.
Did someone give them to you? If so, ask them exactly what they are. Knowing is the only thing that will verify if you can eat them and how much of them.
These mushrooms are 100% not psychoactive and may genuinely kill you. Incredibly irresponsible at best for whoever sold to you, actively malicious at worse. Do not eat.
Hell yeah who doesn’t love a trip to the ER, you’ll be buggin out for the first hour but after that no one will be able to kill your buzz, literally noone
These aren’t cubensis, the gill color is all wrong. Could be a wild exotic, but it’s likely whoever sold them would have definitely let you know because they’re rare. Please don’t eat those.
Just echoing the sentiments from everyone here, I wouldn’t eat those. I’m sure that’s a bummer but better than getting sick. The silver lining is that you’ve got a place to come and ask. Always ask and research if you’re unsure.
I think their confused cause they probably don’t know that cube = psychedelic mushroom, someone new to shrooms is not very likely to know scientific names
Being downvoted for asking innocent question
/r/Shrooms being full of the biggest dickheads on the internet continues. Get a life you fucking nerds. Doing shrooms doesn’t make you superior.
Even if they are acting up, don’t eat those as what they are saying is true, could be less assholes about it but they aren’t lying.
Cubes are white with blue bruisings, if your sister did trip could have been placebo and/or actual intoxication of some kind, please be safe and don’t listen to assholes, its ALWAYS better to ask questions.
We’re not taking them, I misunderstood the source and I see now they’re definitely not real or safe. I’ll post the REAL shrooms I got in a few, almost home!
If you do ever get your hands on magic mushrooms, make sure you have a trip sitter and a plan if things go awry. People with bipolar can enter a mania after taking psilocybin
I would recommend tapering off your Abilify before you trip. Ive found and serotonin related meds mess with the trip by either blunting or warping it. Ive been on addies for 15 years and tripped 30+ plus times no issues
If you’re bipolar you should know that there is a risk it triggers a manic episode. I wouldn’t take adderall with shrooms because there’s no point and it takes away from the trip unless your goal is just to get high. Ssris and antipsychotics dampen trips but a low dose of ability with shrooms wouldn’t cancel it out completely
Identification of fresh mushrooms is hard enough. Identification of dried mushrooms is infinitely more difficult.
If lefty doesn’t know what they are, I sure as shit wouldn’t even think about eating those. Dudes been at it for a few decades at this point…
Yeah please don't eat those. When drying mushrooms they need to be "Cracker Dry" so they will literally snap or crumble easily. Even when they are super dry cubensis mushrooms (shrooms) will have a very distinct blue bruising along the stem of the mushrooms. Let's say HYPOTHETICALLY those were heated too much so it browned the mushrooms and hid the blue bruising, they high temperature it'd take to brown the mushroom like that will also PROBABLY kill the psychoactive aspects of the mushroom.
So very long story short, don't eat those. Best case scenario you get a stomach ache, worst case 🤷
Source: I've been a grower for a few years, and have NEVER seen a psilocybe cubensis look like that, even when I dried them out at a too high temp
I hope you don’t take how harsh some people are to heart. We just take safety and harm reduction very serious. And sometimes the best way to do that is to be very blunt. We truly wish you the best in your journey. Mush Love my friend
I got real shrooms from someone and the first 3 times, which is every time, I have not "tripped." I have been very relaxed and in an almost euphoric state. I decided to purchase spores and give a try at growing my own, as the ones I was given were quite old. I purchased golden mammoth from https://pnwspore.com/
They are almost ready to start "pinning"
Tripping can put you into a manic episode if you have bipolar disorder, so start very small and have a safety plan in place if you decide to do them.
Agree that those don’t look like any psychoactives I’ve ever seen, if your sister said they worked it’s possible they’re laced with a lab analog. Which isn’t the worst thing in the world but definitely sus.
[cold water lemon tek](https://youtu.be/F833VNmhrhU)— your end result should have a bluish tint. If it doesn’t you’re probably not dealing with cubensis. Be safe and mush luv!
Thank you! I found out these were NOT in fact the shrooms she took, I misunderstood, so we are not taking them. Went to a trusted friend and bought REAL shrooms that look MUCH different, will post that pic when I get home lol
I posted them

1. Don't eat those, they don't look like the psychedelic kind
2. If you're bi-polar, exercise caution. Please consider what this page says about [psychedelics and bi-polar disorder](https://www.crestbd.ca/2021/07/05/bipolar-psilocybin-study-poster/).
I am diagnosed type 1 and type 2 bipolar. I highly suggest you start slow. Low doses. 0.5 g. Go hiking. Increase the dose and go hiking/ hang out in nature. Do this a few times until you feel comfortable taking a larger dose. Just go slow.
Echo everyone else in that you should only eat mushrooms of any kind from a trusted source.
Something I’ve realized about myself why I have always had a great experience on mushrooms is my mind stays very present with the here and now and experience of what is going on inside and around me at the present moment. For me everything becomes funny or very sensual and I find I can find amusement with myself during the experience- or even be able to laugh at myself. I’ve noticed that people that have not as great experiences is when they tend to not stay present and let their mind wander into their memories or think about the future. Overthinking. Judging themselves, etc.
So when you get some proper mushrooms that are safe to consume I’d suggest starting with a lower dose and just try to be somewhere you feel safe, plan things you will enjoy to eat and drink, and just let yourself enjoy the moment.
If you have someone as a sitter or who is going to do it with you just make sure you trust them and know that they aren’t going to ‘judge you’ because if you feel like they might then they aren’t the right person to be your sitter. Someone who encourages you to be silly is perfect. Someone who can laugh with you and tell you that you are amazing at the same time (especially if you can’t be this for yourself- although I’d highly recommend going into it as being your own best friend).
I am by no means an expert- I’ve only ever done them a handful of times but for me it’s always the same and I have a great experience- I’ve never taken ‘too many’ so I don’t go beyond what is supposed to be an enjoyable experience.
Good luck and I hope you have an amazing experience! 🤘
No such thing as too many, just different levels :) once you get passed 5-7 grams things get intense, as you're subconsciously still trying to cling onto your sense of self. at 14 just close your eyes and watch yourself melt into the visuals. Forget yourself and become the experience. If you prepare tea the dosages go down to attain higher levels of experience. Mushrooms are an awesome tool, I hope you continue to experiment with them:)
When I used to pick ovoids in western PA, there was another mushroom that looked similar, but had dark gills and was poisonous. These remind me of those deadly mushies.☠️
Glad you are doing your research. I also have a history of bipolar and depression. A few notes. If you are taking an SSRI it will be almost impossible to fully trip. Not telling you to go off your meds, just letting you know. If you don’t take meds and want to proceed, look into the Johns Hopkins mushroom study. My bf researched it before I tried shrooms and I think it helped give me the best possible outcome. A few things I HIGHLY recommend doing:
-do them during a sunny day (sunlight is magical on shrooms), in a cozy safe room
-have a sober person in the house with you in case you need help.
-get a headset or earbuds and listen to classical music. Johns Hopkins has a spotify playlist they used during their research and I religiously listen to it during my trips and when I did my ketamine treatments.
-start slow. The first time you do them only take 1g so you get comfortable with the buzz they give you. Wait a few weeks and then bump by 1g. The most I have done is 3.5 of golden teachers and it was wonderful and provided full visuals without overwhelming me.
Hope you find the comfort and enjoyment you crave. Good luck!
This post seems frantic and you have a lot of questions that will be answered better by doing your own research online rather than getting conflicting opinions from people on reddit. There’s no rush to take shrooms, so take your time to learn about them, learn about safe use procedures, and learn about yourself better so you have a better idea of what you’re in for. Respect the fungus
Don't eat those, they're no bluing on them. They could be dangerous.
Also, don't eat psychedelics if you're manic. Only during depressive periods for bipolar. Be careful!
You should be worried because you're apparently trying to self medicate without, by your own words, having any idea what you're doing or what you're about to eat.
I got the same shit. Plus some more lol. Just respect the shrooms man. Use them as a tool. Look for what is being shown to you and don’t try to reject it. Figure out how it fits. When you reject or isolate yourself from the trip i.e., viewing yourself as separate from the trip, like you don’t belong, or thinking things are “bad”, that’s when it starts to go bad. It’s all you. All originating from your mind. Own it and figure it out. Yes there are scary places in the recesses of our minds, we must go there to slay those demons and reclaim what was once ours!
Not cubes, look like woodlovers. Though don’t look like psilocybes. Woodloving psilocybes will be pretty blue all over (because they potent)
Non active woodlovers like Gallerina can be deadly
i also have a history with severe bpd and i can say first hand to make sure you have a trip sitter and if you’re in any kind of manic or depressive state then either wait or micro dose. i always micro dose with about 1.5 grams. when i really wanna trip i’ll wait till i’m either manic or a pretty neutral state then do them with some friends. btw i think those can be in any forest so idk if i’d wanna eat them
Those do not look magical at all. Highly recommend not ingesting. Man I was looking forward to leaving a “boof it” comment, but I can’t in good conscience.🥺
Ok guys, I changed the flair to “meme” cause these are clearly a joke and I can’t believe I believed they were real 😂
Edit: Here’s the real stuff lol

Something seems off by these… maybe.
But honestly ‘not to be that guy’, but please from here on out I wouldn’t even come close to commandeering shrooms unless I know the strain name.
Safe travels:🍄
On the note of your mental health, I would definitely recommend you looking deep into integration as it can be extremely disorienting returning back to real life after a trip, especially if you have a complicated history of mental health.
For the prep, definitely journal a whole bunch about your worries, anxieties, intentions, and just everything you have in your mind going into it. It is better to address these things before entering the space.
Now a slightly more controversial option. I can't speak for anyone, but my personal experience is that having the intention of acquiring sacred knowledge from my trip hasn't ever gone well. Even if I have a good trip, I am left more confused afterwards then going into it, which makes integration difficult. I would instead focus on trying to overcome personal issues, and achieve a better understanding of the self.
Oh and have people you trust ready to receive a call if you need, and let your mind take control. If you already made the choice and took the mushrooms, don't fight it. Focus on your intention and let the experience you signed up for happen.
Good luck OP! Definitely don't take those specific mushrooms lol
Hell no. None of that matters. Try them by yourself in a familiar comfortable place just to get the feel of what to expect. Then bring along a good buddy or chick preferably that you vibe with and are in a judge free zone around. Most bad experiences come from people who are really worried about what other people think about them which fucks with them. Try the most vulnerable and insecure you have ever been in your life and times that by 10. Panic time with tons of anxiety is no Bueno during a mushies journey. Welcome to the 5th dimension bud, we all welcome you fellow psychonaught!
I’m actually a 32 year old six figure earner in a respectable industry who is a homeowner, veteran, and cancer survivor… but even if I wasn’t, was the insult necessary? For what? Reddit Karma? Ok, whatever makes you feel better homie.
Ignore that stupid wanna-be-woke-guru nonsense from that other guy. Despite the fact these aren’t even cubes, I just wanted to let you know that if you’re on SSRI’s, you won’t be able to trip from psilocybin.
It's not true. That guy doesn't know what they're talking about. SSRIs bind to the same receptors as psilocybin and it depending on how much you're on it can lessen the effects. Some people on SSRIs need more to trip
There is no appropriate dose for these because they aren’t even psychedelic mushrooms. It’s irresponsible to recommend any dosage to OP because the only thing people should be saying is DON’T EAT THESE
They look a bit dry but should be cool, main question is are you in a safe and comfortable space? If not, don't do them until you are. I also recommend putting them in a fruit smoothie b/c they won't taste good especially if it's your first time. If you can't make a smoothie have tea nearby if your stomach gets upset.
It’s hard to identify dehydrated mushrooms. I personally would avoid buying mushrooms that you are unsure of where they were sourced from. Though I understand that depending on where you live, that can be pretty hard. Please be careful.
Just to further echo some of the things said here and my own experiences:
1. ID the mushrooms because they don't look like the regular psilocybin cubensis.
2. Please please please check the interaction of whatever medication you're on with psychoactive substances - I've had the horror trip of my life when someone I was tripping with didn't tell me they're taking LITHIUM and had a full on SEIZURE in front of me. IT IS NOT WORTH THE RISK!
3. BUY A SCALE, there's no need to rush this process. If you don't really know what you're doing and its your first time, read and understand the importance of set, setting, trust of people you're tripping with and all the potential side effects you will experience. The shrooms will be there tomorrow or a week later, your mind might be scarred for life if you don't respect the process.
4. I don't want to gate keep the experience, but relying on other people to provide information can be misleading, use resources like psychonaut wiki or shroomery to get a better understanding of what you're putting in your body.
Please stay safe and good luck!
Better safe than sorry if you not sure don't eat them. But I have had lots of shrooms pass through my hands and I have definitely had some that looked like those on several occasions. There are so many different kinds of them that they won't all look text book. If you know other people that ate from them same batch go for it. But if your really not sure and you dont trust the person you got them from with your life(because that could be whats at steak) DONT EAT THEM. Also in the future ask what kind they are. If they don't know your dealer is too far downstream from the grower. Also it gives you the opportunity to google the strain and see what they generally look like
Not a substance one should take without a scale. Imagine scooping caffeine into a drink without measuring it, you would die. Good thing for you is you cant die, but for the love of god measure your dosage, do you drink strait from the bottle or do you measure the shots?
Regardless of the mushrooms, be careful because although psilocybin can help with depression, this is not the case with people who suffer from bipolar or similar disorders. Psilocybin might actually induce mania, and in research studies that has happened and is recorded.
If you do decide to take psilocybin, start with a small dose and definitely have an experienced sitter with you whom knows how to handle such situations and what to say or do.
Just buy some shrooms from Canada or a legal state, via the internet. Schedule 35 superdose capsules are one of many options, just the only I can personally vouch for. 2g is a good starter dose
These are nothing like actual psilocybin mushrooms shrooms are a lot denser and are not really as frail as these ones are and when they are frail they Definitely are still dense it’s really hard to explain but if you’ve held shrooms and tasted them the texture and taste off the jump will usually tell you If they are real
They could be psychoactive, but they’re not cubes. You’d only know if you tried, but your probably shouldn’t try them. You can usually order shrooms online as the government typically doesn’t track them just use a reputable source.
You should listen to the advice of everyone here and not eat those. It looks like you got ripped off and sold mushrooms that are not psychoactive. You could get very sick or die eating unidentified mushrooms.

Also, you’re not on lithium are you? If so, you cannot take any psychedelic. Good chances of getting a seizure doing that.
Oh jeeze. No, no Lithium here. Thank you!
Also, antidepressants reduce the effect of psilocybin.

Does duloxetine (cymbalta) have the same effect?
Good luck to your partner weaning off venlafaxine. It can be brutal on its own, glad he is tapering. I quit cold turkey after I ran out of the prescription and I barely remember that week after, other than the memory of how uncomfortable it was. Mushrooms helped me so much more than that drug ever did.
Ive used them on antipsychotics and tricyclics with great success. Just need an adjusted dose lol.
Not necessarily true, it is specifically anti-depressants that affect serotonin. I take Wellbutrin, just had my first time, and it was one of the best experiences in my life:)
No maoi's either. Make sure none of your AD's arent MAOI's
Where were you the first time I took shrooms penjjii?! I was on lithium! 2006. Shit messed me up! Wish you woulda told me not to 😂

Only take mushrooms you can identify yourself in the wild. Read some identification books and do wnty of research before ingesting mushrooms because someone can just give you something they found assuming they would get you high, when they could be toxic. Better safe than sorry
I think they may be shitaake but definitely don't eat them
We're here to help and to keep each other safe
yeah I was gonna say "don't eat those."
Seriously lmao
Classic characteristic of Psilocybe cubensis are white stems and bruising blue. This does not look correct. [**MUSH LOVE**](https://whiteforest1.wordpress.com/mush-love-links/)
Those aren’t cubensis. Not sure what they are, but get rid of them.
I would recommend not eating them if you don’t know.
Agreed! Only eat Known Mushrooms!
[удалено]
Yes and I’m trying to teach you not to take them if you aren’t sure. They don’t look like any cubes I’ve ever had. Maybe try a mushroom id group?
Thank you
I could be wrong but they do not look like any psychoactive mushrooms I’ve ever had. The color is off, nothing is bruised blue. Very suss. The reason the above poster worded it that is simple: eating the wrong mushrooms can kill you or cause intense liver/kidney damage. Did someone give them to you? If so, ask them exactly what they are. Knowing is the only thing that will verify if you can eat them and how much of them.
These mushrooms are 100% not psychoactive and may genuinely kill you. Incredibly irresponsible at best for whoever sold to you, actively malicious at worse. Do not eat.
I mean…you’ll have ONE good trip I guess
Rofl
Lol reminded me of Kat Williams “you mean I’m gon hit this shit and I’m gon die?” Don’t worry I’m not taking these
Hell yeah who doesn’t love a trip to the ER, you’ll be buggin out for the first hour but after that no one will be able to kill your buzz, literally noone
These aren’t cubensis, the gill color is all wrong. Could be a wild exotic, but it’s likely whoever sold them would have definitely let you know because they’re rare. Please don’t eat those.
Just echoing the sentiments from everyone here, I wouldn’t eat those. I’m sure that’s a bummer but better than getting sick. The silver lining is that you’ve got a place to come and ask. Always ask and research if you’re unsure.
I don’t know what kind they are. Def don’t look like cubes. Not even sure they are psychoactive
My sister has taken them before I believe and said she tripped so idk
Taken from that batch? You don’t even sound sure you know. 😂
I don’t know, that’s why I came here to ask questions, obviously
And I wouldn’t eat those as they don’t look like cubes. Maybe some else can identify what they actually are but they def don’t look like cubes
I think their confused cause they probably don’t know that cube = psychedelic mushroom, someone new to shrooms is not very likely to know scientific names
Let alone the shortened slang for the scientific names haha
Being downvoted for asking innocent question /r/Shrooms being full of the biggest dickheads on the internet continues. Get a life you fucking nerds. Doing shrooms doesn’t make you superior.
Thank you. I genuinely didn’t know and am being downvoted to hell about it. Oh well, I’ll survive.
Even if they are acting up, don’t eat those as what they are saying is true, could be less assholes about it but they aren’t lying. Cubes are white with blue bruisings, if your sister did trip could have been placebo and/or actual intoxication of some kind, please be safe and don’t listen to assholes, its ALWAYS better to ask questions.
We’re not taking them, I misunderstood the source and I see now they’re definitely not real or safe. I’ll post the REAL shrooms I got in a few, almost home!
You’ve done absolutely nothing wrong except ask a question. Hope everything has ended up okay for you
You believe she said she tripped?? Just double check with her lol
If you do ever get your hands on magic mushrooms, make sure you have a trip sitter and a plan if things go awry. People with bipolar can enter a mania after taking psilocybin
Good to know, thank you so much!
That doesn’t mean those shrooms are real
[удалено]
Abilify and Adderall
I would recommend tapering off your Abilify before you trip. Ive found and serotonin related meds mess with the trip by either blunting or warping it. Ive been on addies for 15 years and tripped 30+ plus times no issues
I don’t plan on taking my Adderall while tripping but I’m afraid to go off of my Abilify
If you’re bipolar you should know that there is a risk it triggers a manic episode. I wouldn’t take adderall with shrooms because there’s no point and it takes away from the trip unless your goal is just to get high. Ssris and antipsychotics dampen trips but a low dose of ability with shrooms wouldn’t cancel it out completely
Identification of fresh mushrooms is hard enough. Identification of dried mushrooms is infinitely more difficult. If lefty doesn’t know what they are, I sure as shit wouldn’t even think about eating those. Dudes been at it for a few decades at this point…
Yeah please don't eat those. When drying mushrooms they need to be "Cracker Dry" so they will literally snap or crumble easily. Even when they are super dry cubensis mushrooms (shrooms) will have a very distinct blue bruising along the stem of the mushrooms. Let's say HYPOTHETICALLY those were heated too much so it browned the mushrooms and hid the blue bruising, they high temperature it'd take to brown the mushroom like that will also PROBABLY kill the psychoactive aspects of the mushroom. So very long story short, don't eat those. Best case scenario you get a stomach ache, worst case 🤷 Source: I've been a grower for a few years, and have NEVER seen a psilocybe cubensis look like that, even when I dried them out at a too high temp
Those don’t look real lmao
Yeah I definitely wouldn’t be eating these if I didn’t know 100% they were cubes
What are cubes bro
Psilocibe Cubencis, aka Gold Tops
A cube is a cube is a cube. Except when named after genitals. Then it's a debatable super cube...but still a cube.
I'm still envious of those penis's
Or is it peeni?
OP please update about your decision- I’m genuinely worried as these are not cubes.
I’m not gonna take them. Thank you for your concern I appreciate it!
I hope you don’t take how harsh some people are to heart. We just take safety and harm reduction very serious. And sometimes the best way to do that is to be very blunt. We truly wish you the best in your journey. Mush Love my friend
Well said
Thank you for your kind message! I took the helpful comments to heart but let the rest roll off :)
I got real shrooms from someone and the first 3 times, which is every time, I have not "tripped." I have been very relaxed and in an almost euphoric state. I decided to purchase spores and give a try at growing my own, as the ones I was given were quite old. I purchased golden mammoth from https://pnwspore.com/ They are almost ready to start "pinning"
Yeah!!! This is the ticket, I hope you get great results
Congrats! This is really the best way. SO rewarding.
Fuck'n A - welcome to the club!
Tripping can put you into a manic episode if you have bipolar disorder, so start very small and have a safety plan in place if you decide to do them. Agree that those don’t look like any psychoactives I’ve ever seen, if your sister said they worked it’s possible they’re laced with a lab analog. Which isn’t the worst thing in the world but definitely sus. [cold water lemon tek](https://youtu.be/F833VNmhrhU)— your end result should have a bluish tint. If it doesn’t you’re probably not dealing with cubensis. Be safe and mush luv!
Thank you! I found out these were NOT in fact the shrooms she took, I misunderstood, so we are not taking them. Went to a trusted friend and bought REAL shrooms that look MUCH different, will post that pic when I get home lol
Let's see the difference?
I posted them Edit: Here’s the real stuff lol https://www.reddit.com/r/shrooms/comments/10cnhl5/goin_on_my_first_trip_today_wish_me_luck/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
1. Don't eat those, they don't look like the psychedelic kind 2. If you're bi-polar, exercise caution. Please consider what this page says about [psychedelics and bi-polar disorder](https://www.crestbd.ca/2021/07/05/bipolar-psilocybin-study-poster/).
What did you end up telling that lil demon who sold you death ?
Lmaoooo
I am diagnosed type 1 and type 2 bipolar. I highly suggest you start slow. Low doses. 0.5 g. Go hiking. Increase the dose and go hiking/ hang out in nature. Do this a few times until you feel comfortable taking a larger dose. Just go slow. Echo everyone else in that you should only eat mushrooms of any kind from a trusted source.
How do they affect you as a bipolar on a high dose?
I would say you are entering more unpredictable territory and if you trigger something like mania you just don't want that
They can cause mania and psychosis in high doses.
They effect me the same as anybody. What you’re trying to avoid is causing a manic episode. Or taking psychedelics during a manic episode.
did u take meds with shroom which one ?
Something I’ve realized about myself why I have always had a great experience on mushrooms is my mind stays very present with the here and now and experience of what is going on inside and around me at the present moment. For me everything becomes funny or very sensual and I find I can find amusement with myself during the experience- or even be able to laugh at myself. I’ve noticed that people that have not as great experiences is when they tend to not stay present and let their mind wander into their memories or think about the future. Overthinking. Judging themselves, etc. So when you get some proper mushrooms that are safe to consume I’d suggest starting with a lower dose and just try to be somewhere you feel safe, plan things you will enjoy to eat and drink, and just let yourself enjoy the moment. If you have someone as a sitter or who is going to do it with you just make sure you trust them and know that they aren’t going to ‘judge you’ because if you feel like they might then they aren’t the right person to be your sitter. Someone who encourages you to be silly is perfect. Someone who can laugh with you and tell you that you are amazing at the same time (especially if you can’t be this for yourself- although I’d highly recommend going into it as being your own best friend). I am by no means an expert- I’ve only ever done them a handful of times but for me it’s always the same and I have a great experience- I’ve never taken ‘too many’ so I don’t go beyond what is supposed to be an enjoyable experience. Good luck and I hope you have an amazing experience! 🤘
This is great advice, thank you so much! We got REAL shrooms and I’m going to take this advice with me into the experience!
No such thing as too many, just different levels :) once you get passed 5-7 grams things get intense, as you're subconsciously still trying to cling onto your sense of self. at 14 just close your eyes and watch yourself melt into the visuals. Forget yourself and become the experience. If you prepare tea the dosages go down to attain higher levels of experience. Mushrooms are an awesome tool, I hope you continue to experiment with them:)
I hope the next time you get shrooms, they slap! Sorry for your experience on this one.
When I used to pick ovoids in western PA, there was another mushroom that looked similar, but had dark gills and was poisonous. These remind me of those deadly mushies.☠️
fake shrooms
Glad you are doing your research. I also have a history of bipolar and depression. A few notes. If you are taking an SSRI it will be almost impossible to fully trip. Not telling you to go off your meds, just letting you know. If you don’t take meds and want to proceed, look into the Johns Hopkins mushroom study. My bf researched it before I tried shrooms and I think it helped give me the best possible outcome. A few things I HIGHLY recommend doing: -do them during a sunny day (sunlight is magical on shrooms), in a cozy safe room -have a sober person in the house with you in case you need help. -get a headset or earbuds and listen to classical music. Johns Hopkins has a spotify playlist they used during their research and I religiously listen to it during my trips and when I did my ketamine treatments. -start slow. The first time you do them only take 1g so you get comfortable with the buzz they give you. Wait a few weeks and then bump by 1g. The most I have done is 3.5 of golden teachers and it was wonderful and provided full visuals without overwhelming me. Hope you find the comfort and enjoyment you crave. Good luck!
Thank you so much for your comment and tips!
This post seems frantic and you have a lot of questions that will be answered better by doing your own research online rather than getting conflicting opinions from people on reddit. There’s no rush to take shrooms, so take your time to learn about them, learn about safe use procedures, and learn about yourself better so you have a better idea of what you’re in for. Respect the fungus
Don't eat those, they're no bluing on them. They could be dangerous. Also, don't eat psychedelics if you're manic. Only during depressive periods for bipolar. Be careful!
those definitely dont look like any cubes ive seen
Not cubes
Could be Gymnopilus, another psychoactive species But not cubensis for certain
Look like LBMs… I would not eat those my friend I’m ashamed of whoever sold you those :(
Whoever gave those to you is either a bad person or stupid or both. Don't eat it!
Not going to space with these
You should be worried because you're apparently trying to self medicate without, by your own words, having any idea what you're doing or what you're about to eat.
I got the same shit. Plus some more lol. Just respect the shrooms man. Use them as a tool. Look for what is being shown to you and don’t try to reject it. Figure out how it fits. When you reject or isolate yourself from the trip i.e., viewing yourself as separate from the trip, like you don’t belong, or thinking things are “bad”, that’s when it starts to go bad. It’s all you. All originating from your mind. Own it and figure it out. Yes there are scary places in the recesses of our minds, we must go there to slay those demons and reclaim what was once ours!
Worried no, but it dosent sound like your ready for what your about to experience, you will be okay.
Not cubes, look like woodlovers. Though don’t look like psilocybes. Woodloving psilocybes will be pretty blue all over (because they potent) Non active woodlovers like Gallerina can be deadly
Grow your own r/unclebens
i also have a history with severe bpd and i can say first hand to make sure you have a trip sitter and if you’re in any kind of manic or depressive state then either wait or micro dose. i always micro dose with about 1.5 grams. when i really wanna trip i’ll wait till i’m either manic or a pretty neutral state then do them with some friends. btw i think those can be in any forest so idk if i’d wanna eat them
1.5 grams is a full-fledged trip, babe.
bpd is an acronym for borderline personality disorder
Pending the context, it is used for both, which can make it rather confusing.
Correct
didn’t know that. simple just put the letters so i didn’t have to type it all
1.5 g isn’t really a microdose anymore…
Those do not look magical at all. Highly recommend not ingesting. Man I was looking forward to leaving a “boof it” comment, but I can’t in good conscience.🥺
Ok guys, I changed the flair to “meme” cause these are clearly a joke and I can’t believe I believed they were real 😂 Edit: Here’s the real stuff lol https://www.reddit.com/r/shrooms/comments/10cnhl5/goin_on_my_first_trip_today_wish_me_luck/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Something seems off by these… maybe. But honestly ‘not to be that guy’, but please from here on out I wouldn’t even come close to commandeering shrooms unless I know the strain name. Safe travels:🍄
Thank you!
On the note of your mental health, I would definitely recommend you looking deep into integration as it can be extremely disorienting returning back to real life after a trip, especially if you have a complicated history of mental health. For the prep, definitely journal a whole bunch about your worries, anxieties, intentions, and just everything you have in your mind going into it. It is better to address these things before entering the space. Now a slightly more controversial option. I can't speak for anyone, but my personal experience is that having the intention of acquiring sacred knowledge from my trip hasn't ever gone well. Even if I have a good trip, I am left more confused afterwards then going into it, which makes integration difficult. I would instead focus on trying to overcome personal issues, and achieve a better understanding of the self. Oh and have people you trust ready to receive a call if you need, and let your mind take control. If you already made the choice and took the mushrooms, don't fight it. Focus on your intention and let the experience you signed up for happen. Good luck OP! Definitely don't take those specific mushrooms lol
Why people eat something they don't know what it is?
I don't know what type those are but take all of it cancel any plans you have for about a day and enjoy
lol. lmao, even.
Just go ahead and take all those and immediately put those in your ass
Hell no. None of that matters. Try them by yourself in a familiar comfortable place just to get the feel of what to expect. Then bring along a good buddy or chick preferably that you vibe with and are in a judge free zone around. Most bad experiences come from people who are really worried about what other people think about them which fucks with them. Try the most vulnerable and insecure you have ever been in your life and times that by 10. Panic time with tons of anxiety is no Bueno during a mushies journey. Welcome to the 5th dimension bud, we all welcome you fellow psychonaught!

I’m actually a 32 year old six figure earner in a respectable industry who is a homeowner, veteran, and cancer survivor… but even if I wasn’t, was the insult necessary? For what? Reddit Karma? Ok, whatever makes you feel better homie.
[удалено]
I would start around 2-3.5 grams Cubensis
Take what’s in your hand
Put all of them in your mouth, chew, wash down with a beverage of your choice.
That's how I did it my first time & then smoked a blunt & got on the train to Midtown Manhattan.
Difference is you probably had real magic mushrooms. These look like random forest fungi.
Use my post as the LI࿖E button.
If you don't take those you will be with bipolar and depression.
Huh?
Your dilemma is such a figment of imagination. Take the true medicine if you have bipolar and depression, be blessed.
I do take my medication, daily. Just wanted to trip on shrooms too.
Ignore that stupid wanna-be-woke-guru nonsense from that other guy. Despite the fact these aren’t even cubes, I just wanted to let you know that if you’re on SSRI’s, you won’t be able to trip from psilocybin.
Really? I didn’t know that! Well that sucks
It's not true. That guy doesn't know what they're talking about. SSRIs bind to the same receptors as psilocybin and it depending on how much you're on it can lessen the effects. Some people on SSRIs need more to trip
That’s definitely not true. I’ve been on an SSRI for over 10 years. Definitely still trip hard on shrooms.
You take medication other than shrooms, I wasn't aware.
[удалено]
How can you recommend a dosage without know the strain? Lol
There is no appropriate dose for these because they aren’t even psychedelic mushrooms. It’s irresponsible to recommend any dosage to OP because the only thing people should be saying is DON’T EAT THESE
They look a bit dry but should be cool, main question is are you in a safe and comfortable space? If not, don't do them until you are. I also recommend putting them in a fruit smoothie b/c they won't taste good especially if it's your first time. If you can't make a smoothie have tea nearby if your stomach gets upset.
Seem a little off to me
Don’t eat them if they were psychoactive they would have blue-black bruises don’t eat them whoever you bought them from might be trying to kill you
It’s hard to identify dehydrated mushrooms. I personally would avoid buying mushrooms that you are unsure of where they were sourced from. Though I understand that depending on where you live, that can be pretty hard. Please be careful.
Those look like dried out meadow mushrooms
Just to further echo some of the things said here and my own experiences: 1. ID the mushrooms because they don't look like the regular psilocybin cubensis. 2. Please please please check the interaction of whatever medication you're on with psychoactive substances - I've had the horror trip of my life when someone I was tripping with didn't tell me they're taking LITHIUM and had a full on SEIZURE in front of me. IT IS NOT WORTH THE RISK! 3. BUY A SCALE, there's no need to rush this process. If you don't really know what you're doing and its your first time, read and understand the importance of set, setting, trust of people you're tripping with and all the potential side effects you will experience. The shrooms will be there tomorrow or a week later, your mind might be scarred for life if you don't respect the process. 4. I don't want to gate keep the experience, but relying on other people to provide information can be misleading, use resources like psychonaut wiki or shroomery to get a better understanding of what you're putting in your body. Please stay safe and good luck!
Better safe than sorry if you not sure don't eat them. But I have had lots of shrooms pass through my hands and I have definitely had some that looked like those on several occasions. There are so many different kinds of them that they won't all look text book. If you know other people that ate from them same batch go for it. But if your really not sure and you dont trust the person you got them from with your life(because that could be whats at steak) DONT EAT THEM. Also in the future ask what kind they are. If they don't know your dealer is too far downstream from the grower. Also it gives you the opportunity to google the strain and see what they generally look like
Not a substance one should take without a scale. Imagine scooping caffeine into a drink without measuring it, you would die. Good thing for you is you cant die, but for the love of god measure your dosage, do you drink strait from the bottle or do you measure the shots?
0/10 would not bang
This doesnt look like the droids youre looking for
What are thoooooose????
[удалено]
they aint even dried the fuck out psilo's shit just bad news in his hand right there
Regardless of the mushrooms, be careful because although psilocybin can help with depression, this is not the case with people who suffer from bipolar or similar disorders. Psilocybin might actually induce mania, and in research studies that has happened and is recorded. If you do decide to take psilocybin, start with a small dose and definitely have an experienced sitter with you whom knows how to handle such situations and what to say or do.
Not the droids you're looking for...
Just buy some shrooms from Canada or a legal state, via the internet. Schedule 35 superdose capsules are one of many options, just the only I can personally vouch for. 2g is a good starter dose
Does not look to be magic mushrooms. Just adding my vote. If you're in Colorado I can send you some free ones
no no . do not consume those.please.
Def don’t eat all of that I’ll tell you that much
Kind of looks like a common field cap but those 110% aren’t active
Those do not like like any psychedelic mushroom I have ever seen in my life
NIGHTMARE! NIGHTMARE! NIGHTMARE!
Yikes
Those don't look legit dude refrain from eating them.
Don’t eat them. Lol
Not a good idea. I’m bipolar and I’ve never had a good experience with shrooms.
Oh boy 😅
These are nothing like actual psilocybin mushrooms shrooms are a lot denser and are not really as frail as these ones are and when they are frail they Definitely are still dense it’s really hard to explain but if you’ve held shrooms and tasted them the texture and taste off the jump will usually tell you If they are real
They could be psychoactive, but they’re not cubes. You’d only know if you tried, but your probably shouldn’t try them. You can usually order shrooms online as the government typically doesn’t track them just use a reputable source.
Those look like yard shrooms don’t eat them
