I once produced a batch of freakishly big B+ from multispore. The fruits were as big as my forearms.

I live in a desert, so normally I can just leave the mushies I've grown on a cookie sheet somewhere out of the way and they'll dry in much less than 24 hours. But this batch was so big that I figured my usual method would not work.

I pulled off all the caps and chopped each of them into 6 pieces. Then I tore the stems vertically into 4 pieces and chopped them into <1in. pieces. They dried even more quickly than any of the shrooms I'd grown before.

In doing so, I knew that it was possible I would lose a larger amount of actives to oxidation, but when I tested the batch they were just as potent as any mushrooms I've ever taken.

either there was some sort of pesticide or herbicide in the Horse manure compost i used; however i ever looked at the bag today and there is no mention of this ? it just says blended horse manure and peat (i hadn't noticed that before)The second theory is that there was a mold or contam in the substrate which got into the mushrooms? when i threw that block i noticed that there was some gunk underneath it in the tray but i assumed being a yellow gunk that it was prob just manure and water or metabolites




My 0.02....

I've tripped about 100 times give or take off homegrown.

I've only had 2 really bad trips. (Both were bad images and extreme sickness). Each of those times, it was a batch grown in substandard cpoo compost mix.

They both had excess water and metabolites in the bottom as well.

I think you may have hit that one on the head.

I just stick to coir now. No problems since.

Having done a little further investigating i have found that the desiccant i was using was Calcium Chloride, the shrooms i remember had touched the pasty substance which the Calcium Carbonate states to form as it collects moisture from the air inside the drying box. It then become Calcium Chloride Di hydrate, i think that the caps of a some of the shrooms could have absorbed some of this...

I found this document online bout Calcium Chloride Di hydrate -

Toxicology Information
Ingestion: Irritation and burning sensations of mouth and throat, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

The nausea vomiting and abdominal pain were all symptoms which i had,and i recall my friend saying that her tongue felt weird on sat night just before we got sick !!!

Anyway i just thought id post this for general information, im still not 100% but im confident. One thing for certain ill not be keeping a shroom which gets anywhere near desiccant wet or dry ! so not worth it! 

anyway, thanks for all the responses peeps!

much love x

This happened to me as well.  Spawn to coco/verm though.  Everything from the shoeboxes w| B+ terrible cramps and then very strong.  KSS birthed at same time no issues at all, same substrate batch.  I made tea as well, same result terrible cramps for 2 hours then incredibly strong.  Very discouraging and confusing, hoping there is some final answer.  I do not think desiccant was an issue for me.  As long as it is in its packet it is food safe.  Oh also I used dehydrator and cracker dry in 24 hours.
