My first active finds EVER! Cubes and more :)

#10530229 - 06/18/09 03:03 PM (3 years, 11 months ago)

These first ones are cubes. Obviously, lol. I read a post on here that said it is pretty hard to miss a cube. And that once you find one, you'll know. And I did. I cut my first find from the ground with scissors and it immediately turn blue and got real soft where I touched it. It was the coolest thing EVER!

Here are some sort of pans, I'm guessing. They all bruised blue.

These here bruised such a dark blue. They look almost black and the whole shroom bruised...

Guessing these are inactive. They bruised black where I cut them, but more of a red brown through out the stem..

ENJOY!

I have TONS of picks from when I was out hunting. Will upload them Soon.

Habitat picks XD

P.S. I didn't disturb the fungi growth underneath the patti. This one was already flipped over.

I live and found these in the Orlando area :smile:

This will be my first shroom trip tonight. I want a heavy/decent trip. Any tips on how much to take? I am in a great mindset and feel like I can handle it. I've been hunting shrooms for around 6 years and just found my first actives, lol. So I think the shrooms are telling me I am ready :wink:

It appears that they are all relatively small, and there are about 13 or 14 cubes total in your top pic.

I would suggest, based on your top picture, to eat 6-8 of the smallest cubes in that pic. That should be roughly 20-30 grams fresh, which would be a pretty strong dose from what I have read. Maybe a level 3 to 4. Since that is what you are looking for, and that is what you are prepared for, you should have fun!

I too just found my first actives last week and bio-assayed them the same night, fresh. I ate 3 caps only, no stems. They were all cubes. One cap was about 1" across, another was approx 1.25" across, and the 3rd was approx 1.5" across. They were all the smallest caps out of the batch that I had found that evening.

I am not very well versed in accurately determining the weight of mushrooms fresh. I would guess I ate around 10g-12.5g. It was definitely ALL of a level 2 out of 5 trip. You may have seen the page on this site describing the different intensities.

After about 45 minutes I slowly felt it creeping up on me. It came on slow and smooth. No anxiety, no nausea, no upset stomach at all. I was pleasantly surprised. By 75-90 minutes I was body high like a motherfucker. It was so smooth and mellow...not like the effects of the "poisoned" feeling I have gotten before when eating shrooms bought from dealers in college, etc. Very mellow upcome, no nausea at all, it was outstanding. The effects lasted a solid 4.5hrs before I was able to fall asleep.

See what others have to say about what to eat. It might be good to post a photo of say the 6 biggest cubes with a couple things in there for scale like a lighter and a quarter. Do the same, in a separate pic, with the 6 smallest cubes with things for reference.

Fun stuff! :thumbup:

AWESOME! Thanks for your help. I will get on the pics right now. Will upload the cubes with some sort of scale. Do the copes provide a much different trip than the cubes? Just curious. Be back in a min with the pics :smile:

To me the copes feel cleaner, more like a pure extacy rush...but yes they feel different. You have enough to get the full effect from cubes one day and the full effect from copes another day.
It is easier to save the cubes, and the copes are best eaten fresh. So if I were you - I would eat about 8-10 copes 1st and go from there. Let the cubes dry out for a day or two and then get the cube-effect!

5 - on an empty stomach...don't eat for 3-4 hours before consuming - at least that's the only way they work for me and take a vitamin C

In all honesty, I was thinking this myself. I have always read that the cyans are better fresh than dried, and the cubies are almost as good dried as fresh.

Don't forget, you can always eat X amount (on the lighter side) first, and then in like 90-120 minutes after that gauge how you are feeling and if it is intense enough cool, if not, eat maybe another 50% of what you originally ate. I have done that in the past. It does lengthen what would have been 5 or 6 hours of effects to an additional couple hours or so, so plan accordingly.

CYANS FTW 2NITE BROTHA!! :thumbup:
