reasonable? definitely. you should be cautious always. but once you get a positive ID from trusted folks and find them more than once, your fear will diminish as you learn to tell them apart from others. the best advice is to always get a spore print and post an official ID request on the site... plenty of people here who have astounding ID skills.

With anything I intend to consume, I find it and get a positive ID from outside sources at least twice before snacking. Also, it is wise to eat small amounts the 1st time to be sure your specific body does not have any adverse reaction to something that may be widely considered edible.

you gonna try the tea?

They look the same to me.

for those of you making tea i would highly suggest using a french press.
this is how i make all of my tea.
it is very easy and fool proof (not to mention much easier to strain and pour).
for gyms i've noticed that 75-150 fresh grams or 8-15 dry grams is optimal (based on desired potency).

-chop mushrooms into very small pieces (fresh) or grind coarsely in coffee grinder (dry).
-bring water to a boil.
-add mushrooms, sugar, lemon juice and fresh ginger and stir until sugar is dissolved.
-pour into french press and let steep for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-press and pour.
-scoop out remnants into a coffee filter and squeeze gently to extract remaining love.
-serve chilled or warm.

delicious and easy.

:wink:

peace and love

Yeah I intend to eat very little of it to make sure I don't have some kind of reaction. And the only lookalike of G. lutes to my knowledge has a white spore print, and these babies have a crazy orange spore print. so I hope/believe I am safe.

Since I dont have a scale, I really have to eyeball it. I have one large mushroom that weighs SEVERAL grams probably and doesnt even fit entirely in my hand. Then I have two dozen small and medium sized ones whose caps are between the size of a quarter and the size of a silver dollar. About how many should I make into tea/eat?


Bloodworm thank you for the thorough description, but I dont have a press unfortunately. I'm a college guy living in a very bare-bones apartment with some roomies. I'm astrophysics; dont even know what a french press is, lol.

the average doses I see for Gyms are 10-25g cracker dry per person. if your mushies are still fresh, you want 100g-250g per person. 250 is a little more than a 1/2 pound if that helps. any US bill weighs 1g, but that probably doesnt help :lol:

and here's some french presses. they're pretty awesome. you can also use any mesh screen or just make a smoothie. anything to mask their bitterness = :woot:

that will likely be avoided with the tea or another method that extracts the vitamins and allows you to not ingest the flesh

or you could take a puff :getstoned:

Someone told me it's the psilocybin itself that makes you nauseous because it hurts your liver, like alcohol. is that false? is it really just the flesh?

Also don't confuse them with Galerina marginata, some of the smaller Gymnopilus luteofolius  specimens do resemble them and I have found them on logs adjacent to gym logs.

Psilocybin can probably cause some degree of nausea by itself due to 5-HT3 agonism, but most of the nausea associated with shrooms is not due to that.  And either way it has nothing to do with your liver.  (I say 'probably' because I haven't seen papers on psilocin activity at 5-ht3 - but other psychedelics do, so it would be expected.)

look at my photos in this thread...do you see any galerinas in the bunch? now you've got me all scared. they're cracker dry and shriveled now. how could i tell? I searched them all when I laid them out to dry for ones that didnt look like g. lutes. I found nothing, but my eyes are untrained.

Not that I'm any pro ID'er, but I don't see anything that look even close to Galerina in your pictures. They are usually much smaller than anything you've got there and won't have the purple-red tint or the scaled caps.

my knowledge is limited, so there might be a few exceptions to these traits, but with a positive ID from Alan above, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Don't go into a trip with that fear. Embrace the Gym love!

:peace:

What is pictured in the op looks fine to me as well, I was letting you know for future reference.  I would compare descriptions and pictures on Mushroom observer to help you get an idea of the difference.
