High Expectations Crushed...
    #2082640 - 11/07/03 11:00 PM (20 years, 4 months ago)

I am new to consuming mushrooms. I have always heard so much and what I heard excited me. So I began to search the internet and I found the cubensis mushroom grows wild in the Southeast. So I embarked on a mission to retrieve this mushroom from a local cow pasture I found. Well to make a long story short, earlier today I found 10 various-sized cubensis mushrooms. Some big, some average, and some small. I brought them home and weighed them-60 grams. From what I read this should have been a strong dose, no? I got nothing more than dilated pupils, SLIGHT visual distortions, and some mild euphoria. Now I have been taking dextromethorphan for now 2 years. I know the two chemicals are totally different but I was tremendously let down. Maybe I was hoping more for an earth shattering psychedelic trip. Well anyway, to achieve said trip do I need to take more than 10 cubensis or stick to dxm for the totally mind-blowing trips I seek?

Maybe you should weigh the dose, are you SURE you have cubensis?

You ate all 60 grams? If you did, that's about 6 g dry and that should have been more than enough to get you tripping good. How did you ID the shrooms?

Well I looked, for one, a mushroom growing on cow manure. Then noticed the dark brownish-orange center fading to white. On the mature shrooms, the cap was inverted, while on the fresh ones the cap was more conical. The stem was white with the fallen veil on it. The spores on some had colored the white veil to a dark violet-blackish color.

This was actually my third attempt trying mushrooms. Previously on one occation I had a gigantic cuby with the cap maybe 3 or 4 inches in diameter. I felt giggly and had more visuals. I did eat this one as soon as I picked it, and from what I have read this creates more visuals. Although this is true, I ate 10 today, 10. Hmmmm....but yes I am positive as to the identification and the weight. I even fasted several hours before I ate them.

10 grams dry or wet?? cuz if its wet dont be expecting very much. thats about 1 gram dried. You might want to take 20 grams wet or 2 grams dry for a decent trip.

*edit* Dont forget if you did other mushrooms with in the last few days or week. You might want to wait so your tolerance can go down.

Oh no, I meant 10 various sized cubensis shrooms. They weighed wet 60 grams.

oh ok then. All I can say is that is strange you ate 60 G's wet and didnt trip hard. If that was me I would have been talking to plants or something. what I would suggest is then next time you go pick just up your dosage a little see if it makes a slite diffrence. So from there you know where to go. Or try picking cubes that have recently had the veil ripped. Some say when the veil rips they begin to lose potentcy. I hope you have a better experience next time.

I would almost have to say they werent active. 60 g's wet cubensis would blow me, or anyone else I know, into a damned hard trip...And cubensis arent even *that* potent.

I know what your feeling man. First off, wild picked cubes are often waterlogged, so they weigh more than what they normally would. For instance, I just picked roughly 400g wet (I forget the exact number and dried out it it's only like 22g, half of what I was expecting.

As for not tripping, I don't think he is saying he didn't trip at all....it just wasn't the mind blowing experience he was expecting. I had the same problem when I first started tripping, from reading about it you expect to see crazy visuals and all sorts of whacked out shit...but that isn't always the case. I don't think you need to up the dosage, what you ate is very capable of blowing your mind. It's all about the set and setting really, sometimes things just set off your trip like you wouldn't believe. Did you smoke any pot while tripping, that boosts the intensity of the trip quite a bit for me, as does good chill music.

Some people have to have their brain acclimated to psychedellics. My first LSD trip was a bit mild even though the acid was good.

Just try taking them again :smile2: 
You may also just have found unusually weak strooms. It can happen.

Thanks for the suggestions. I did not smoke pot while I was on them. When I tripped previously to this time I did, and that might have been the reason I got more effects (in some ways that is). Would picking the shrooms while it was been raining and even still is raining affect the weight a considerable amount? I guess so huh?

In the previous post above this one...I think you could be right about me personally having to try a couple of times to get me tripping hard. The reason I say this is because I did not get high on marijuana until my third time as well as tripping on dxm. Maybe the third-fourth time is actually a charm for some people.

It has been raining this whole weekend where I live. I think my plans will involve going out Monday morning and finding several more again and giving it another go. With all the rain, there should be an abundant supply of fresh cubensis. =)

One last question concerning the consumption/preparation of the mushrooms: Would it be a stronger more visual/mental trip eating the shrooms fresh as opposed to letting them dry out and eating them that way?

Peace

maybe you should go into the next trip with an open mind....

ive gone into (large dose) trips of (various chemicals) and been sorely dissapointed..... true i am something of a hard head...( which dosent mean i dont start out very low with new gear.... ya just never know)
but still ...

try going into the next one with the idea that "im not going to get really farked... but if i do then im prepared". Maybe your killing a strong trip (maybe subdueing would be a better word) with your "im not really farked up so im obviously not high " attitude....

ive done it.....


just a thought ...
