those damn maggots

i live in the atlanta area of georgia and the other day i came across a large amount of p. weili's spread out like wildfire in my town's park. i picked some, of course and ate them (fresh, undried) and tripped pretty well. but i tried drying them out in my closet by laying them out on a paper towel in the dark and the next day i saw a couple of maggots on one of them!
is this bad? and if so, what should i do to avoid this problem in the future?

nah... it's no biggie. As they dry out, the maggots leave. Dry them with a fan so they dry faster and the buggies can't do as much damage.
just make tea to kill any bacteria, and you'll be fine.
to avoid the problem... grow your own? No way to avoid bugs getting on the fruits and laying eggs. Try not to have a bad trip thinking about it, or the fact that you probably ate eggs and possibly maggots with your fresh mushrooms.

hallucinogenic maggots rock! save them up, get a dose of the magic larva...
if you salt your mushies, the bugs die, also aids in drying, but u end up with salty mushies, witch are great with peanut butter

hahaha magic larva, thats one thing i've never heard of. but i think i will try that salt thing.
is it true that drying with heat lowers the mushrooms' potency? i dont think it is but one of my buddies is trying to convince me that it is.

Yeah, the maggots themselves are a good source of protein. The problem is that as they tunnel through the mushroom they're leaving shit behind. Their shit has the same pathogenic bacteria in it as our own shit does. So eating a mushroom with lots of those tunnels sort of amounts to eating a shit sandwich. Somehow, it just doesn't seem to matter how good the bread or the condiments are, it's still a shit sandwich.
Happy mushrooming!

The mushroom(s) I found had maggots in them as well.
I ate em anyway.
Extra protein;)
They leave as the mushroom dries, as someone said.
I didnt have the patience for that.
