Just a note to thank toxixman and everyone else for helping me identify my first active find. I think I got about 2 ounces Dried from one cluster of shrooms. Im headed out to look for more soon. Im a little concerned about eating too many gyms. I remember someone saying that gyms can give you liver problems. We ate about 2-3 grams each this weekend, and had a great experience, all from shrooms I found in my home town. Unbelievable. I was so nervous when I ate them, but I knew I had done the correct steps to ensure safety. What a great hobby!

Wow- that's not a very potent dose of gyms- must have been potent gyms! Glad to hear it Colenel Forbin.

If you're not nervous when you eat a new species of wild mushrooms for the first time, then you haven't learned enough. That shred of uncertainty is what helps keep you safe.
Happy mushrooming!

How would you describe the "great experience"? Two or three grams seems low for what I've read about these, Was it a trip, a buzz or just a feeling? The reason I ask is I hope to try big gyms myself sometime but cannot find consistent first hand info on dosage.

I want to know the same thing, I'm intrigued by the "Gym experiance". The reports are vauge and lacking detail. I want to hear from some folks here in the hunting forum, GG, Mr. mushrooms, and other Gymnopilus hunter/collectors about the "trip" from this genus. It has got to have a different vibe about it. I hear everything from phenethlyamine(sp?) type qualities, to hysterical laughing, to weak and barely noticeable effects. So many posts, so many people find them, does anyone ever eat them? LK,

The trip was just that, a trip. It took a good hour to come one. I ater a mixture of stem pieces and caps. a strong body buzz, along with very vivid hallucinations. Very dopey feeling. I felt like laying down most of the trip. Colors took up my whole plane of vision. The first two hours was very intense. A sudden urge to laugh happened a couple of times. Breathing was a little irregular. A lot of shifting visions, as well as exploding type parabolic trails. Very different mushroom trip than Ive ever had eating cubies. No yawning, no tweaked out feeling. Very relaxed type of trip.

I ate approx. 3.5 gms. a few weeks ago. The trip and feeling was pretty good.. kinda like slight pins and needles all over, especially arms and face. then slight visuals, like this picture I have of potted flowers seemed to be growing and overflowing the pot, and spilling down the shelf, then it would start over again... general incresed light sensitivity outside, nighttime was brighter. "Happy, loving, caring feelings". Felt totally in controll the whole time,,,broke out into laughter a few times but I considered this to be normal for me. No freak outs or anything, slight apprehension, overcome easily by self reassurance, nothing major. all in all was a good trip... but the taste was terrible, stayed with me for the next day, I mean like I brushed my teeth about 10 times and it just would not go away, like eating an orange peel-x(5) I still have 2 or 3 ounces of them but just can't bring myself to eat them. Maybe in the blender with some orange juice this weekend... ???? Maybe I'll give them away who knows... Hope this helped... No Find Um... Oh and the indigestion was terrible, even the next day,, heartburn city man. Explosive bowel movement 18 hours after ingestion. Trouble breathing the next day also... "labored breathing", is an accurate description. Anyway,, thats about it... but while in the moment it was worth it,, the after effects were bothersome... Congrats colonel fobin.... your post was how it's supposed to go in the hunting forum,, you did a great job....from start to finish... salute...
