It's been 20 years since I last tripped and can't believe I've left it this long, what a place what a feeling.
Why are people do hesitant to do larger doses? Do people have weak heads or something? lol
Loved it, changed my life, and you think after only 4 hours sleep I feel really refreshed, what other drug does that?
I see. The post I quoted of yours made it seem you were new to this, which, if that were case, I would stand by the advise that 5g is too high.
FWIW. I've stated this opinion before: I think there are only so many receptors in the brain capable of receiving a molecule of psilocin, and, once those receptors have received their molecule any extra dosage does is add to the body load which though it may increase the duration, slightly, may also increase the chance of having a negative affect on your trip, and, it may just be that those extra mushrooms were to all intents and purposes, wasted.
Mushrooms are not the easiest food to digest so the more you eat the more the disagreeable side effect of just the mushroom marterial on your stomach, let alone the psilocybin content, can lead to the stomach churning that often lead people to believe that they have eaten a 'bad one' with the accompanying fear that that may induce while tripping.
http://www.shroomery.org/6257/Magic-Mushroom-Dosage-Calculator
Seems to suggest that ~3.5g of libs is as high as you need to use for a "level five" trip.
I wonder. If you swapped out 1.5g of a 5g dose of libs for store bought mushrooms, would the resultant "stomach churning" induced by the extra mass of mushroom material consumed have the same effect upon the trip as if it were the full 5g dose of actives. This would suggest that the resultant phyical stomach discomfort would lead your trip in a potentially different direction itself, be it good or bad.
Anywho. To each their own. Happy hunting.

Cheers for the advice on dosage guys, yeah I think I'll aim for 3.5 next time, don't want to put myself off them, also can't wait to try the other varieties of shrooms to see how they differ.
Very handy forum this, you guys certainly know your stuff.
I'm not new to tripping just new to shrooms, fuck other types of drugs now, even the spliff I was smoking the other night felt like a pointless twig in my hand, and the only thing I can see it doing is dumbing down my brain so I can communicate with all the stupid people I encounter

My Somerset spots finally coming through. Few pics of today's gather. About 30 each in a hour and half but with some rain should see more sticking their heads up.
So your finding some in Somerset even without the rain? That gives me some hope as I'm out in a minute not far from Bristol. What kind of environment did you pick from?

I personally am at a point in my life recently where I know I no longer need to learn much at all from these substances, but I also went back and recently tried Psilocin/Psilocybin, as well as LSD-25, and MDMA. I do not regret any of the experiences, and in fact had one of the most amazing and meaningful experiences with LSD in my life. I am going to continue to use psychedelics but only very very occasionally now. They very much do need to be respected highly and I see that clearly now.
Why do you ask?

Apart from one exception (which at the time was a huge mistake), I've not touched anything apart from alcohol for about 6 years. And even alcohol is pushing it. And yet i am increasingly tempted in a way that I've not been before. In theory it should be a bad idea but part of me just wants to do it and I'm questioning whether it really is a terrible idea, or if it's just a terrible idea if i have the same approach as i did years ago. I want to know if it's possible to be settled in life without the need to alter the mind at all and also have a meaningful experience that won't be detrimental to that state of contentment (also i have never tried psilocybin before despite having the opportunity - because previously it really would have been a bad idea). In the last year and a half due to being physically unable, I've not been able to exercise or do any of the things i would normally do to get the dopamine and such flowing. And previously these ideas would have been unthinkable. But I'm finding less and less reason not to now. Most people here are pretty happy with smoking weed daily and just getting wrecked whenever but I'm completely not like that and i enjoy being sober and in good health.

Why "in theory" should tripping be a bad idea for you at this point; I don't quite understand. Were your last couple experiences bad? I have gone long periods, although never more than 1 year or so, without tripping and then gone back to it. I also have had addiction to opiates/heroin, and other things. I find that these psychedelics can be great tools if used correctly.
Can you name some of the biggest reasons why you DON'T want to trip again?
Maybe a couple why you WOULD?

ME.. - using it for an intention is my only different approach this time - seems more easier on me in that respect - had gone into detail on the other page .. anyway - just do what everyones comfortable with and take back what you can... moderation is key for everything... - weed you are the fucking problem

Why did you think you shouldn't do it before? I think writing any issues or problems or mental loops down would work, because then you can go back and read it and decide whether to sort them out sober or high. You also have to consider that using hallucinogens for self exploration is very different to doing some random ass white powder at a rave. Entirely different purposes and results 
What would you say your main barrier between contentment is at the moment?

Yeah I think the heavy dews have helped but as we were up high they would have been heavier than in Bristol. I live in Bristol but not planning to try around here until later in the month when the rains been and temps a bit lower. Can you drop me a private message if you have any luck so I know to go try my local spot?

I found ~150- 200 in the South East today and it hasn't rained here for the last week at least, judging by today and last season even without recent rains they can still come out when the temperature drops. There was plenty of rain a few weeks ago and compared to a month ago there is so much more moisture in the ground, a few showers and the field will be peaking nicely

IME if it doesnt rain they will still come out due to the prevouse rain.... u get 3 or 4 flushes dependin on field etc - but they gradually decrease in their numbers as the soil loses moisture if it hasnt rained .... at night the moonlight dew regenerates the moisture and the libs are happy but flushes are not huge in week with no rain....

Was at a horse campground in Northern Michigan this last weekend, and piles of straw and manure and wood chips, found some nice libs, unfortunately they were all to old! Bummer. To late in season here.

I'm back after around three hours picking and I really think it should rain....It wasn't a failed hunt as I managed to eventually find a load of mostly tiny already partially dry libs, almost one at a time lol and mostly locatated in one part of one field instead of more widely spread like when I went to this new spot after rain. Still came home with 33g wet (kinda) or 11g dry after an hour or two in the dehydrator, I don't like all the bugs stealing my haul! So it was worth going out but to me it looks like the mushrooms are fruiting "on tick over" almost and here it really needs some rain to get them revving into a full flush. Anyway my jar is now filled with one oz of dry shrooms
