For the last month or so i have been visiting a nature reserve, i used to pick mushrooms with my older friends years ago but never took part in eating them back then.
The walks we're great, good exercise and good weather on a couple of the journeys.


Last saturday i found a patch with a good harvest of liberty caps, i got them back home and fan dried them for a few hours and they became cracker dry by mid week.


Yesterday i finished work, i got home around 2pm. I weighed them out 4.13 grams of cracker dry psilocybe selementara, i felt ready as i will ever be so made them into a strawberry smoothie.
I ingested them around 3pm, i played some poker hands online and had the tv on mute and played some music. I only had a breakfast drink that morning around 8am so my stomach was pretty bare.
By around 3:30 things we're beginning to happen, the dots on the poker table on pokerstars we're now breathing, i started yawning a few times by the third or 4th yawn things just started on another level, i was in the grip of these mushrooms and now i knew there was nothing i could do. I felt i was resisting, all kind of things we're happening, top gear was on the tv, all different colours and what i thought we're the special effects like a car boosting lines were coming off, i was in full force i looked at my clock 2 hours had passed.

I went to the bathroom, i felt that room was too much to handle, the bright light off the LED lights was totally alien to me, the slate tiles morphing, breathing, wow.. Colours were crystal clear, it was like food dye in liquid growing. I seen the tiles in so much detail, so shiny and clear, with new patterns i had never seen before.

I closed my eyes to see bright red, it was too much, i was over whelmed as it went on with my eyes closed, i could slowly trust what was happening and believe it was just part of the trip, i told myself i hadn't taken too much and i could settle. I would randomly laugh at some of the things that were happening. I rolled a cigarette my hands were all scaly, like a rough texture. The glow off my lighter was like a neon light.
As i closed my eyes a journey of shapes and a growing morphing background i can't even describe, a journey into fractals and shapes.


As time went by i slowly came round by about 8:30/9pm i could feel it wearing off, it was an overwhelming experience but i feel i may of tried to limit its power by reassuring myself and being resistant at times.
For my real first time dipping into the psychedelic realms at this kind of amount taken, i may of possibly bitten off slightly more than i should but respected it all the same. It was a beautiful and mind opening experience. At times i felt overwhelmed but overall a great time and happy to experience it.
