I just added a few more sentences to the third paragraph to make my "experience in hell" more descriptive. After talking out the experience with a friend I realized it wasn't quite as descriptive as it could have been.

And as I’ve gotten older, I have had really super intense, super scary, just about managing to ride it out kind of territory........from as little as 2.5g dry cubensis.
I would say I have had one bad trip,, in almost 35 years of taking mushrooms. That was recently. From 3.5g of very old dried golden teacher!
So what am I saying? Basically, I never take them for granted, and I am generally always anxious during the come up.
But we keep on coming back to the wonderful headspace, and lessons
Interesting, do you have any trip reports of these experiences on here? And certainly words of the wise, I was so humbled by this experience that I necessarily can't take them for granted ever again haha.

Hell isn't underground, its under your cortex somewhere.
Heres my report if you are interested https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/26798593
I read your report and responded. You should become a writer if you aren't already. Amazing write-up.

About 2 weeks ago I also did a high dose trip which went into the dramatic direction and one of the main drivers for that was temperature. I have now learned that I shouldn't try to trip if it is too warm (i.e anything above +25C / +77F) as the mushrooms make me feel even hotter and there's a good possibility I will suffer an heat stroke which nearly happened on that trip. I also managed to similarly work out a lot of problems and gain a much greater appreciation of my family and friends during the ordeal.
During one trip last year I also more or less lost contact with someone who was something along the lines of a friend. That trip showed his true colors and they weren't pretty so to speak... Possibility of good company during a trip is absolutely essential, it can really make a difference as you have found out ~
Yeah I am absolutely convinced heat was a major factor for me. It's incredible coming on here and seeing all the shared experiences.

I tried to write down about my liberty cap ego death, from 30 year old memories; did not do it any justice. But here is my attempt to capture the important parts of that experience that have stayed with me for life:
* What I don’t capture is that the part where I felt like a spark of energy.....lasted for thousands of years: I particularly remember it was cold, dark, and LONELY.
We boiled up about 1500 liberty cap mushrooms. It was almost half a carrier bag!The resultant liquid was dark thick disgusting tasting. Even mixed 50:50 with Vimto cordial, it caused almost irrepressible vomiting. I instantly wanted a dump, so went upstairs in Clooney' house on Washington Street. About six of us had shared the brew, so we'd all had a super heroic dose. Soon the dragon picture above the fireplace came to life and started flying around the living room. We got scared so decided to go outside. It was hard though tying our shoe laces. The end of Glynn’s boots grew teeth and started chomping.It was now about eight o'clock and dark. It was also raining with a chilly wind. Typical September night in Accrington. Met jacks friend billy on his moped. He later died of heart problem. 36. Me and Glynn ended up on broadway. Shop doorway sheltering from the persistent rain. We watched all sorts of fantastic visuals over the shops on broadway. Like dinosaurs made of exploding fireworks, flying through the rainbow coloured rain. As we sat there sheltering having a fag, we molded into each other, it was really weird. We were one entity. I stood up and Glynn disappeared backwards, almost like he zoomed out. I panicked and walked further into town. Ended up near oremrod street. Crying up to the sky, one side god, opposite side the devil looking down at me. I cried I'd only done 800, but I'd never do them gain if they let me live. Next thing I remember was being a spark of electricity floating in the vast empty infinity of black space. Then the taxi drivers outside Lancs telegraph taxi rank in accy picked me out of the gutter where the rain water had been gushing over me. Got back to clooneys where we all shared war stories. I got the soggy fags out of my coat pocket! Missed work the next day. Oh forgot a few things. Toy town! We used to call how everything loooked as Noddys Toy Town. A bit like in the Soft Mints hey mr soft advert. Trying to cross Plantation Street, and the cars seemed to take forever PPROACHING BUT THEN PASSED at the speed of light so it was impossible to cross any roads. Rang up sue to come and get me and Glynn from phone box on Plantation street and she basically told us to F off. We freaked and walked into town in an attempt to walk up to Thwaites road Ossy! Evil bitch! Freaked me out for years. Aged about 21.

Going out with such weather seems like it wouldn't have been all that good of an idea. I'm happy nothing serious happened in the end.
But damn, 1.5k mushies, that must have been hell of a patch to harvest stuff from lol. I'd like to try these mushrooms someday, I know they grow in my country but where to get them I'm not so sure of, all the usual places people know of are scouted by police too...

I’m surrounded by common land moors, high up. Try to get yourself somewhere high up where sheep, cattle, horses feed. Once you’ve found a patch, you’ll never forget the look of the grass, or the look of the mushrooms

That sounds lovely, unfortunately there's nothing alike here  I can easily find amanitas though, but I lack any desire to try those lol

The red with white dot psychedelic Amanita? If you can find them, you should be able to find liberty caps. Ask around (discretely ) DJ Ed

Yup, those ones indeed lol. It maaaaay have been possible to find the liberty caps nearby pasture, but it has been turned into a cereal field for many years now (and all other fields in the general area have been too) and everyone knows each other so discreetly doing things is sort of not gonna happen. Once there actually grew blue bruising mushrooms on a field where my parents had sheep decades ago but they were not the normal kids but some super weak ones.
The time for them is getting near though or already has begin. This and next month are the when they are normally found from what I know.
I also wish it was easy to actually grow them, but it seems very few have succeeded and nobody has managed to grow any substantial amount...
Also, I like that trip place you got built recently, it looks very nice ~

It’s liberty cap season here too, but I need a good 4 hours for the round trip and haven’t found the time to take the dogs out for a discrete 4nhour walk yet :-(
Yeah the chill zone is coming on. Painting the internal walls then we can get a carpet or vinyl down, then I can move my speakers in full time, and a settee :-)

I had a bad trip in hot weather too. There were other factors at play, such as my inability to communicate with my trip buddy, but mostly it was the heat, specifically the feeling that I couldn't escape. I had taken (wrong forum, I know) 10g of Tampanesis sclerotia.
