Sitting in lemon juice 2 days . Are they still okay ? 1

Hi all quick trip question from the day, title explains it .
I had some gold caps left and had them soaking in lemon, i fell asleep and they stayed overnight in just lemon juice, the next day i drank the lemon, I had the same chopped shrooms left in the cup so i added more lemon juice (no water used) and it sat overnight again. These photos from this morning.

Are these still okay to eat? How can I tell they didn't go bad? Is potency affected ?
Thank you kindly for any help

They might be too degraded at this point, also the color of your mushrooms looks a little of.
Are you sure those are cubes? Haven't seen lemon juice bleach actives to that type of pigment before.

you should be fine lemon juice should preserve somewhat.
the ascorbic acid stops oxidation of actives from happening.
its only a day they are fine
the acid would have extracted actives into the liquid from the mushrooms too so if you did with full dose it will hit fast as you dont need the mush to breakdown inside you to get the actives.

To be honest I'm not sure. But I did trip pretty hard the first time same batch.
It's weird because two days ago I had them in lemon juice also but they turned Blue. I'm not sure if that's because I added some water instead of complete lemon. Maybe lemon preserves color?
I have a photo of the original.

thoughts so. I did change the lemon juice so two nights out. Also had AC on one whole night so im sure that helped preserve the shrooms

if you added water thats why that batch turned blue.
less ascorbic acid( anti oxidant)
it works with fruit too (stopping it going brown, use for fruit salads)
in your case with mushrooms namely cubes, lemon on its own will stop/limit loss of actives from oxidation!! by stopping oxidation.( the blueing is oxidation and is loss of actives)
even 2 days is fine really in lemon no blueing on oxidation

You're right about ascorbic acid preventing oxidation but incorrect about lemon juice being a stable medium to preserve mushrooms in.
Citric acid will degrade psilocybin over time, and aqueous solutions of psilocybin are inherently unstable. Lemon tek helps degrade some of the psilocybin to psilocin over a short period of time to produce a faster onset but will destroy it over a few days.
If OP sampled these beforehand and they work then he is good to go with ingesting it. No signs of bacterial or any other type of fungal contamination. However it might not work or will be underwhelming, safe to experiment and find out.

This also leads me to believe that they have had quite a lot of the actives leeched out.

i wasnt on about long term storage i said 1 or 2 days
i said:Quote:

the acid would have extracted actives into the liquid from the mushrooms too so if you did with full dose it will hit fast as you dont need the mush to breakdown inside you to get the actives.
Quote:

and yes they will have leeched out like i said
and whats the problem with that?
consume the lemon juice and it will hit faster than the mushrooms would have anyway!!
im not sure of your point?

correct me if I'm wrong but won't light have an effect on potency?
OP, that doesn't look like a full dose? art thou microdosing?

Ok Mr. Funny, he said he changed the lemon juice implying he threw it out. If he meant that he set it aside he would have said collected or something to that effect.
Notice how I said a few days also? He said two days, falls under my suggested time frame.
My point should be pretty obvious, it either lost some of it's potency or isn't active at all.
Not encouraging him to throw it out just stating my observations.

i dont think he threw any out, i think it was consumed
and yes if he left the same shrooms and extracted twice then the second batch will be bunk i give you that 
and i was unaware citric acid destroys actives thanks for the info:)

I don't agree with him entirely, I don't think OP consumed the lemon juice like this guys assumes he did.
I just think his reading comprehension isn't that great, I stated my doubts and he shrugged them off as if I had no point.
We have reached an understanding, it's irrelevant now. Either way we gave him the same advice to go ahead and try it.

i only assumed it was consumed the same way you assume he threw it out lol
and i didnt shrug off your points and even thanked you for the info as i learned something! (but still i dont think it works like you think i will explain in a min.)
cant be right all the time and no shame in that thats why i graciously thanked you 
here i said-
Quote:
and i was unaware citric acid destroys actives thanks for the info:)

and no need to resort to argumentum ad hominem attacks. but yes i could use some work on grammar and comprehension your right
and he did actually say in op that he drank the lemon juice and if thats not consumption then i dont know what is-
Quote:
I had some gold caps left and had them soaking in lemon, i fell asleep and they stayed overnight in just lemon juice, the next day i drank the lemon,
and based on past info i would say he consumed the second lot too! not really an assumption an educated guess
so your reading comprehension could use brushing up too!
never mind the fact that part of his question was also about if they went bad! and no in 1 or 2 days preserved in lemon they wont go bad and also the lemon stops oxidation to some extent.
and i will read up on citric and how much it will destroy actives over time to see how relevant the 1 or 2 day time period is for effects on potency! again i thank you for the heads up!
and you said:
Quote:
Citric acid will degrade psilocybin over time, and aqueous solutions of psilocybin are inherently unstable. Lemon tek helps degrade some of the psilocybin to psilocin over a short period of time to produce a faster onset but will destroy it over a few days.
and while im learning you can too!
Quote:
"The high level of acidity (lemon juice) converts psilocybin to psilocin" This is an incorrect statement. Dephosphorylation of 4podmt>>4ho dmt requires and enzyme located in the body to convert. Most likely the reason psilocybin will stabilize in liquid for quite some time. Its creating psilocybin citrate which is more soluble in water imo and creates and ideal platform for which the drug is administered. Moved over to liquid the body converts and accepts it much quicker as if you were taking a purified drug.
https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21805446#21805446
and the faster come up is because you dont have to digest/extract the actives from the mushroom!! not from degraded actives
see how that works?

but anyway people in glass houses and all that chill out mate

sorry OP for the drama

Just to clear up any confusion, the first lemon juice WAS ingested yesterday morning and added more lemon but I didn't consume the fruit itself so i left it in the cup so i added more lemon juice thinking it would preserve it for me to eat them later in the night but ended up passing out so this morning instead of throwing them out I thought I'd eat them so it would kick more than just drinking it like yesterday.
I don't mind the microdose if it is, I just didn't want to eat it and be
rather be underwhelmed then ingesting something contaminated.

no you will be fine, it will have preserved the freshness just like it does with fruit in fruit salad
but will have little actives if you extracted already

does light degrade psilocybin? or just lsd?

It can degrade psilocybin but not as drastically as LSD. Like if you leave mushrooms in a baggy on your windowsill you might notice a loss in potency whereas LSD left in a baggie with no tinfoil will likely degrade to nothing in that same amount of time.

im not entirely sure but i remeber a post to a study where it said mushrooms harvested in the dark have more actives compared to a control group picked and dried in the light
to me the study was crazy it said like 300% difference lol
but i cant swallow that.
so i cant really give a diffinitive answer to how much light will effect the actives.
but i assume that it will have some effect
and i agree with yukon it wont be anywhere the same as lsd

I've heard this as well but have not seen any solid evidence to back it up. A thread was started a few days ago on it.
Wouldn't make a lot of sense since light is a necessary factor in the mushroom growth cycle (but not all fungi mind you).

I think when the mushrooms were picked could have an effect on potency just like it effects the percentage of alkaloids in other ethnobotanicals. however the fruit body may block any damage to the active chemicals
