Hello whale oil lamp

Thank you   I counted around 70 from yesterday and about 170 today!! Very very happy

Im in the north.

btw, Awesome finds too whale oil lamp, they should give you an awesome time good luck with finding more like them



To All Please

Im a bit worried that some of today's picks could be non active or poisonous (Galerina?,or strophes? (sorry if wrong spelling)). Im only aware of two look alike for subs,
are there more?

also, if it's not active, but NOT poisonous, is it still not good to consume?
(sorry, i have next to no knowledge on these matters)

Any thoughts?

I say this cause there is bluing, but not heaps, on some it's very minimal, almost non existent (but they all look like subs (today's finds))
Any help please would be much appreciated

Thank you.

Spore print any you're not sure of. Take pictures of gills, stem, cap spore print and make an ID request in the hunting and identifcation forum. You'll get a lot more help there than just in this thread.

Here's a bit of information I can give you.

Galerinas give a rusty brown print.

From what I just read Leractiomyces ceres has a purplish to black spore print, so that might make things a bit confusing. However, eating this mushroom won't kill you, but will most likely make you sick.

Everything in your pictures look fine to me, I wouldn't be too concerned.

Maybe try and look for other ways to ID them instead of just relying on blue bruising. Things like cap texture, the way the gills look, the texture of the stem, annulus on stem etc.
It gets easier as you go on - I rarely look for blue bruising when picking as I can easily distinguish subs between others. If this is your first season picking, then next season you should have no trouble at all. You're already off to a great start.

Thank you Nevermind

This is my first season at hunting and im where im at cause of my 2 friends and, the Awesome people on this site.
Sounds silly, but i never even thought of printing the suspect ones (doh!) Im still a noob   Thanks for advice

What causes weakness (sometimes excessive, can't even walk!!) in my arms and legs when consuming shrooms, is it because I've had too many?
(over a short period of time,say 20plus grams dried within 2-3 weeks)?
(which has caused a large build up of leftover shroom stuff (sorry don't know the right term) in my blood and system)

or, is it because of a single large dose, and not because I've been having too many (which i probably have)
and is there a way to stop it happening (please don't say don't consume shrooms )

again, any appreciated greatly help

Cya for now

There are a few threads around where people have experienced abnormal body load and effects from consuming woodloving psilocybe species. I remember once I was tripping, walked in the front door then woke up lying in the middle of the hall an unknown amount of time later - I pretty much passed out and have no recollection of how or when it happened. When I came to my legs were like jelly and I was dripping with sweat all over my body. You need to be a bit more cautious when consuming woodlovers than other types of actives.

I would be cutting down the amount you consume. I don't see anything wrong with tripping once per week, but tripping multiple times a week for weeks in a row will most likely start to mess with you and become less enjoyable, and you will also end up with a big tolerance (meaning you will be wasting mushrooms because the dosage you need will always be increasing), and your serotonin production will most likely be out of whack for a few weeks. That is just my opinion though, it's really up to you how often you consume them.


The best thing to do is educate yourself about psilocybes. Research psilocybin and psilocin so you understand how they work and effect you. It is a reasonably safe drug to be consuming, but abusing it will almost definitely lead to bad things.

Hello again Nevermind   Great finds by the way 

In all honesty, I have been consuming way too much.

It was basically the kid in the candy store situation. but, i have been decreasing the frequency and dosages due to a few close calls.
One of them being that while driving to work (trip had ended hours before), my foot became so weak that i found it hard to use the accelerator!!, it could have ended badly.
So yes i should be wiser with shrooms. My wisdom has come manly from my stupidity, and I don't want to repeat my mistakes. If i do?, Im nothing but a fool!!

As for tripping more then once a week, my work situation does make it possible for me to have the time to trip twice a week, mid week and weekend.
I am still hoping to be able to and was thinking of having a small dosage mid week, say, 1-2 grams, and on the weekend have a 3-5g trip.
As i haven't tested if this will work yet, I'll just have to see. I may find that it's just not possible. If so, i will review the situation again.

On one hand, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the effect on music shrooms give, hence the desire for more trips, but on the other hand,
i have a life to live and my family, friends & job can't suffer cause of me wanting to feel "Awesome".

On a side note, one of my friends, who is content with smaller doses and would not trip anywhere near as much as i have been, he has had the weak legs situation too.
So i guess, it can happen anytime to anyone, but excessive tripping only makes the problem worse (imo, based on what's happened to me).

btw, do you remember how much you had consumed the time you passed out?

Hello scrogman

It's doesn't sound like a nice side effect I always look terrible the next morning after a trip!, um.. wait a second, that's how i always look

did you decrease your intake after that first happened?

Also,
Glad you found this morning, has your patch you mentioned not long a go, started fruiting?
And would you say that this is the peak of the season?
