Can Shrooms cause blood clotting.

So as I am writing this , I've been in the hospital for the last four days. I woke up on Christmas morning with a pain in my left leg and it got worse through the day so I went to the hospital the next day and they discovered an extensive blood clot in my left leg. The thing is,on Christmas Eve I ate some mushrooms provided me to by a very reliable source. I have bought shrooms from this source through out the year and had nothing to fear from ingesting the shrooms, other than i had tripped just recently two weeks ago. I did not take the shrooms as soon as Source gave them to me because I forgot them in my sister's car and spent most of Christmas Eve at work. When I got home ( which would have technically been Christmas Day seeing as it was really late at night)I tried to ingest shrooms because I've rarely tripped during the day and I love to catch the Sunrise while in the midst of tripping. I don't know why, but as I tried to ingest shrooms I wound up puking up most of the shrooms. I actually searched this website, and others because shrooms have never made me puke before. I settled on the idea that it was because I had not eaten anything in 8 hours prior to ingesting shrooms so my stomach was pretty empty. The trip would prolly be considered by most to be bad ( I trip for the experience, good or bad) and I remember being very angry at one point. As I felt the effects of the trip wearing off rather quickly, I was able to fall asleep around 4 or 5 Am Christmas morning and when I woke up around 11 AM later in the day, I was aware of the pain in my leg that lead me to my current state. I would hate to think that the shrooms were somehow responsible for causing my blood to clot. I do have a family history of blood clotting ( my mom died two years ago from one) but the sudden onset of this blood clot coupled with my shroom taking seems more than coincidental.I have this weird almost shamanistic concept of tripping ( poisoning/killing your body to expand your mind) but being as young as I am (21) I'm nowhere near ready for the next stage, Death. Can shrooms cause blood clotting? Will I have to stop tripping? Or is my trip on christmas, and the blood clot two entirely separate events that just happened to coincide on the same day?

Pharmacologically psilocybin is pretty safe, to my knowledge it won't cause any blood clotting, but it might be a slight vasoconstrictor. I don't know if vasoconstictors are contraindicated for blood clotting disorders.
I don't know why they caused you to puke like they did, but puking happens to some people. If the shrooms were fresh, and were sitting in a car for any length of time they may have spoiled some, or have become contaminated with bacteria. If they were unspoiled or were dry then you could have just had a reaction to the chitin that makes up the cell wall of the mushrooms. Chitin is a pretty tough substance that is hard to digest, especially on a completely empty stomach. I only recommend forgoing food for 1-3 hours before dosing because when I eat shrooms on a completely empty stomach I get horrible stomach cramps.
I think that this blood clot thing you're experiencing is a purely coincidental occurrence. Especially considering the fact that you have a family history of blood clots. If you are in doubt about whether or not it is safe for you to continue tripping then start doing a bunch of research and then actually talk to your physician about it. Educate yourself, and seek the opinion of a learned individual.

I'm not a doctor but I feel like if shrooms could cause blood clots we would certainly know because that would be something the Feds would delight in pointing out. Its most likely unrelated but I wouldn't trip again until you are confident it was not the shrooms that caused it (most to avoid having a bad trip).

Yeah I don't think Shrooms will cause blood clot, like you said it's a family issue so you should have your answer, but again we're not medics

mushrooms and lsd will most definitely cause blood clots! Tripped my first time in 1981 and developed a likin' for it so I did it alot.Got my first clot at 17yrs. old and its an old mans disease.Didn't know what caused it until the next time I tried to trip.The pain in the exact spot where the clot was was excruciating.Quit doing it and eventually my blood thinners and went 20 yrs. without one.Then the super bowl where Janet Jackson flipped her tit out I was at a party and a buddy had some shrooms(first time for those)and thinking they were organic i'd be all right so I ate some.I immediately caught a clot.I tried to quit my thinners again like I did when I was a kid and caught another one.To date i've had 3 in one leg and 4 in the other cause I kept trying to quit my warfarin cause its a pain in the ass.I now take them religiously and i'm gold.That is until I had my wisdom teeth out a couple of weeks ago and they took me off of them for 5 days prior and I caught one in my arm.I know i'm rambling but there are no medical studies that I have found on the topic over the last 34 yrs. since my first one and i've never googled it until todayand I ended up here.I used to peddle micro-dot and blotter in high school so I ate more than a person should so if you don't get crazy you'll probably be o.k. But be warned they will cause them if you over do it.

I really doubt they cause them. You probably had a pre-existing condition and the vasoconstriction brought it out. I do not know of any biochemical reason 5ht agonists would cause clotting.
