is this ergot?
    #14203626 - 03/29/11 12:57 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Growing on grass of some sort.  This area was the only place where I saw stalks like this.  Some have cobwebish growth and leaves a powdered behind on my hands when handled.  Its probably not, just thought I'd verify.

If it is, are you sure it's safe to be handling that with your bare hands?  It could be. I really don't know, but you probably should since you're fucking with it.  Ergotism is pretty brutal.

There are more people imprisoned for the commission of drug offenses in the United States - close to 500,000 - than are incarcerated in England, France, Germany, and Japan for all crimes combined.  Examined in another way, the United States has 100,000 more people incarcerated for nonviolent drug offenses than all the countries of the European Union combined, despite the fact that the European Union has 100 million more citizens. :crankey:

If it is, I'd like to find out for sure. Pardon the pics as I am in the field posting thru my phone. I may return with a high definition camera if need b. Like I said, after an initial hike, this is the only area where I can find stocks that look like this. They r the most suspicious suspects I've seen yet, but can't say for sure

I'm not convinced.
Does it have ergot growing out of it ?

No. It seems to b eating the stock thou. Its powdery.

I was thinking it resembled the ergot like in these photos

It's hard to see on those, it's been obvious when i've seen it. You can pluck the little turd things.

This thread was moved from The Ethnobotanical Garden.

Reason:
I'm thinking you'll get better responses in the Mushroom Hunting forum.

Doesn't look like ergot to me. I've come across ergot a couple of times and it's impossible to powderize it between your fingers when it's growing on a grain, as it's rock hard. Also, are the kernels you suspect to be ergot infested shiny? because the actual fungus that grows on the grains isn't, it has a very dull black surface.
I am not going to make a final statement unless I've seen good pictures, because, as you surely know, those are too poor to really tell for sure what you have there.

Can one even do anything with ergot? (with no chemistry background?)

in short, agreeing with german, ergot is like hard rat turds growing from the germ.

ergot is only good for lsd synthesizing, and you got to be pretty much be a chemist for that.

I wasnt sure if ergot was even needed at this stage of the game...I just figured that's where it was discovered and they could now synthesize it w/o the fungus.:shrug:  I just eat the blotter and dont think about it, I suppose....

not needed, but the only good use for ergot,



personally, i live in the rural retirement woods(BFE,a.k.a.boonies), where the only drug that passes through is pot, i saw lsd once in my area, srhrooms only wild, and really besides pot, pills are it, n i dont eat pills. its drove me to live elsewhere for parts of my life:wink:
so if i were to ever come across lsd i think i would like it to derive from something natural like ergot, (there is probably a good reason they dont use it anymore...)

Yes. Make cultures and then produce large amounts of it. Then all you need to find is a chemistry major that will make the LSD for you. :tongue2:
Joking aside, large amounts of ergot can potentially be worth a LOT of money. But from single grain to industrial amounts it's quite a long way.

That's not true, actually. Lysergic acid and its derivatives are used in a wide variety of pharmacological products.
Plus it should be mentioned that ergot contains about ten times as much Lysergic acid as HBWR and other sources of LSA.

or ergotamine tartrate or a hand full of other pharmaceuticals.

and it's nifty just to look at.
