First time trip

Tried Mushrooms for the first time yesterday. I started a grow of Golden Teachers. I picked my first cluster of four mushrooms that weighed in at 46 grams fresh (small shrooms). I didn't mind the taste of the shrooms, which I ate straight. I didn't experience any nausea.
I ate half, waited a couple of hours, and took the other half. It was a rainy day so I spent the day indoors. Spent some of the time playing an MMO on the computer (Aion) and watching psytrance videos on youtube. The shrooms enhanced these activities greatly, the colors were much more vivid and I appreciated the music much more. I went out to the garden and when looking at some of the plants it appeared that they would grow right before my eyes.
I laid down in bed with some earphone and closed my eyes. I got the sensation of floating around in a strange environment, but the environment was dark and gray, no colors. If I looked at the ceiling I could barely make out a moving pattern.
When I got up trouble started. My wife was working on her crafts. I am a neat guy and don't like clutter. I became very aware of the clutter in the living room, the kitchen table, and the dirty dishes in the sink from breakfast. This caused me great anxiety. She was watching TV which I also found very distracting. Between her activity and the TV I became very anxious.
After she finished her craft work I put on a relaxing nature video which had soft music and beach/waterfall scenes. This put me at ease and relaxed me until I came down.
It was a long trip. I ate the first 2 shrooms at 9:15 am and the second batch around 11:30-12:00. I didn't come down until almost 5:00.
What I learned: The setting is very important. If I had been in a stress free environment I would have enjoyed my trip much more. Being in an environment with little nuisances made me quite anxious. Next time I try them I will do so in a distraction-free environment.
As far as what level I reached, I would guess somewhere around 1.5, as I had no vivid closed eye visions, and barely any open eye ones.

Well, congrats on the trip, but a big, NO NO NO, don´t play an MMO while you are on psychedelics. I used to play Atlantica online a lot (My character had the most HP and Defense power in the whole Server) and I realized many times how retarded we are giving so much value to a bunch of 0s and 1s... and how it fed our ego. As probably your MMO game, there is an easy way to gamble out (aka end up breaking/destroying) your hard earned gear, combining that to feel how worthless you are with said ideas and feel you can pass over it, you go ahead and destroy all your good gear... and then next day, sober, you will say FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!
- Did this happen to me? No. I was tempted to, but I was in bed, not playing it. If I would have playing it, probably I would have done that. Many people did that. - Why did I stop playing with such power? I moved overseas, and the combination of a worse internet and more to do in life than before, I ended up not having the time for countless daily hours worth of upkeep that all MMOs require when your account matures and becomes decently powerful.

Hello there. How are you doing? Welcome to The Shroomery.
I always "tidy up" my surrounding environment before a trip. I too have noticed that things can seem a lot more cluttered while on mushrooms. In the past when I've tried to clean up the cluttered mess I'm always confused & baffled on where to put things though. That's why I like to do this before I ingest the mushrooms. You have learned a very valuable lesson from the experience that you speak of. That is, set & setting are very vital to having a good experience. Make sure you're in a very comfortable environment & have a positive mental attitude. If you are feeling depressed or angry, mushrooms tend to amplify those current feelings or mood.
In my humble opinion, I think you should do whatever you want on mushrooms. Do the things that you normally do in your everyday life. Even if that is playing an online computer game. Of course you will figure out through trial & error what is boring or unappealing on mushrooms & what's not. If the MMO that you enjoy playing is appealing to you while on mushrooms then by all means play it. If not then obviously don't. You can do anything you want. Music, movies, TV, playing an instrument, meditating, laying in bed listening to your thoughts, I could go on & on. Those are some things that a lot of people do while on mushrooms. Take care man. Happy trails to you. Stay safe. Don't underestimate the mushroom.

Don't suggest redosing Tolerance builds up after an hour of the first dose
It's all about Set and Setting Make sure your setting is right for you... I always do a bit clean and vacuum the day of...
Peace

HarryL is correct. Redosing after the first hour of the initial dose will not be very noticeable at all. Take your entire dose in one sitting-even if you have to decrease the dosage. Better safe than sorry.

Try tripping in nature next time OP. It's quite the experience, and always bodes well with the raw, natural feeling the mushrooms give you. I always feel soo connected with everything around me, it's absolutely blissful. Of course, you must prepare beforehand, bring enough water, some snack bars, sunglasses, etc. and make sure you wait at least 8 hours after ingestion before even thinking of driving back home. Driving while tripping is a big no-no.
