Strange I would assume someone with an open enough mind to take mushrooms wouldn't have the nievety to realize that someone may have already done research and just wanted a second opionion from a more experienced person. However, this is the internet -- My guess is that you guys are all 15 year olds.

No it's not at all. It's someone asking a few more experienced people for a simple yes or no answer. People like you shouldn't take mushrooms. You're very selfish.

The problem is that he told you what they are and you asked if they are magic when you could have looked it up for yourself in about 3 seconds. So no, you didn't do research when you should have.
It gets annoying when 30 people a day post up some random mushroom they found and then don't bother doing their own research after they get an id.

My guess is that when you ask if a little piece of crap mushroom growing from a mossy log is magical, even though you only have one, that its dry weight will be next to nothing, it's not bruising blue, it has white gills and spores, looks nothing like anything active AND you even have the genus name to check with, even if you can't spot something that's obviously not active upon inspection... my guess then, is that you either can't be bothered to look up ANYTHING that you need to know, or you've scoured the whole internet and missed a vastness of information that a boiled banana could've ascertained its inactivity from.

Man nice to see there are some really friendly people in the mushroom community! You trendy e-trippers should really drop these stupid cultures and taboos you agree upon and just try to help one another out. You all need to re-evaluate yourselves -- I honestly don't think any of you are worthy of a mushroom trip.

There's nothing sacred about a mushroom trip. All you're doing is altering your perception with a chemical, you're not meeting God.

Our emotions, thoughts and feelings are also just a mix of chemicals happening in our brain... that doesn't make life any less magical. As for meeting god, well that depends on who your god is

Oh and OP, you clearly know nothing about what any "magic mushrooms" look like. Neither of your finds are even close.
I agree that it's really lame to see the "Will this get me high? No? What about this?" type of questions over and over again. Cripes!

Of course magic is relative to us because we defined the word, you could say, I just don't think we've conceivably experienced anything that can be approximated to our definition. Life would be a bit sad if such states were attainable.

well put. but yeah its funny to think how vastly different things can be in various peoples eyes all due to the way we perceive things. perception is quite an interesting word to think about. the world we live in today is just made up of peoples perceptions of whats right or wrong better or worse etc...
from my understanding magic is pretty much as you stated: something we dont understand yet.

If we could perceive magic, would we recognise it? What's the point of it unless it goes unnoticed?

if we could perceive its existence, in order to recognise something. we would have to know what that something is. so in this case that something is something we dont understand yet. so technically if you recognise that you dont understand something you have recognised magic but if you pay to much attention to it you will probably soon understand that something witch in turn would make it no longer magic so yes magic must go unnoticed.

Wow, you really thought carefully about who you are addressing - e-trippers, of course! - and demonstrated you are more enlightened than everyone who reads your post. Thanks for being here.

Trust me, heroin is a drug with far higher connotations of greatness and I know plenty of scumbags who take that. You don't need to be enlightened to be a druggie, m'kay,.

I agree.
