I don't have firsthand experience but I've heard another describe it as feeling very much like an ayahuasca trip. Would love to hear from others with experience doing this.

There's an enzyme in your body called monoamine oxidase (MAO) which breaks down psilocin. Monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) inhibits that enzyme from working so it won't break down the drug once it's in your system.
In other words it gives psilocin the green light to frolic unhindered in your brain. Be careful it's serious buisiness, no turning back.

Would it increase the length of the trip?

I am chaos. I am the substance from which your artists and scientists build rhythms. I am the spirit with which your children and clowns laugh in happy anarchy. I am chaos. I am alive, and I tell you that you are free." HAIL ERIS! ALL HAIL DISCORDIA!

thanks now i can picture it better mentally. but when you say it's serious business what do you mean? i've heard somewhere that mixing the wrong MAOI's with psychedelics can be fatal. and i am a rasta and i don't drink alcohol or eat meat or milk cause i see my body as sacred so i don't wan't to put any harmful combinations in there. i'm thnking about using a mild MAOI inhibitor first like a passion flower tea and then take two grams of hawaiian cubensis. do you think this will be a good combination? i ordered syrian rue but it's extract so it might be real strong so maybe passion flower would be good to start with

Fractal Dust has it right.
I have used MAOi with weak shrooms and it saved what would have been an uneventful trip.
No increase in length, but the shrooms degraded quite a bit.
I used passion flower.

Length and intensity, IME, depending on your choice of MAOI and amount.
Syrian Rue + Psilocybe Mushrooms is as close to oral DMT as you can get, without actually taking oral DMT. Although, YMMV, because some don't recall their experiences with this combination as intense as others. For me, it was incredibly mind-blowing every time I have tried it.

Shit, I had no idea MAOI's could be used with mushrooms.
Sounds like I got a new thing to try.

Yeah it's great. Seems to help produce extraterrestrial phenomena and unexplainable events do occur. I added cubensis mushrooms to my last ayahuasca brew, that was nuts.

Sweet thanks guys. i'm thinking about taking two grams of dried hawaian cubensis with passion flower tea and black currant juice as an MAOI. Do you guys think this is a good dosage of shrooms? i haven't tried this type yet so i'm not sure the strength and everything

It's funny you say that, because that was exactly what I experienced with my Rue + Mushroom trips; meeting pan dimension beings, ET's, entities, etc.

Make sure you use the Lemon/Lime Tek with that 2 grams and you should be good to go.

I do not recommend it for bigger doses of mushrooms. It really can amp those things up in ways I wasn't exactly used too. Syrian rue manske harmalas .
Passion flower is pretty low in betacarbolines, but it does have a really nice synergistic effect with mushrooms which I have also explored.
The best thing I've found is to make mushroom tea and add salted harmalas, a little honey, a little ginger, let it chill with some ice cubes, pour into a water bottle, and your ready to peak in the park.
