Not what I was expecting

I did acid and cactus buttons when I was young. I enjoyed that and in my experience it was all a head trip. thinking thats what I would be doing again with P cubenis I got into the process of growing. It did interest me and it was fun. I ordered spores of ATL 7 for the 'truffles' and some Tidal Wave for the fruit. Fruit developed, looked good gets the blues if its actually tidal wave I have no way of knowing. I dried and powdered the shrooms. The truffles aren't yet ready. Fist try I measured out 1.87 grams dumped it in ginger ale to mask the taste and I heard ginger is good for the stomach. It had a reaction when stirring and an unknown quantity spilled on the table. I drank the rest.As the hour came up I was getting a big body high. Not dissimilar to smoking some strong weed, I felt the couch lock coming on. I spent the next few hours on the sofa watching tv or listening to music. 2 weeks later I tried again this time 2 grams in orange juice. There was no reaction like there was with the soda. Before the hour it was coming on and getting stronger and stronger. Couch lock again for most of the next few hours. It was strong in my body core, but my head was clear thinking. I may have had the mildest wavy visuals, but barely. I have to say that physically it is uncomfortable. Being a senior I worry about my heart that had some problems in the past. I had weed a time or two make my heart act up. So this stuff was a unpleasant surprise when so much of it was rough on my body and not beautiful to my mind. I wonder if this is a common experience, could it be molds doing this. I also made some tincture using 10 grams of powder in 20ml of Ethel alcohol for micro dosing. Still 1ml of that will give me a mild short term buzz, so I guess its too much for micro dosing. What I hoped for was the mellowness of cactus or the electricity of acid and I see that this is not going to do it. Your thoughts please.

My understanding is that the mood elevation in the days subsequent is the effect desired.
See 'afterglow' in https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-13282-7

same here most of my trips have some uncomfortable body sensations. On light doses up to 1.5 g it can bring me lots of joy and ecstasy especially when listening to music. Afterglow and antidepressant effects are worth it too. But overall i’d say the effects are too unpredictable and it takes certain skill to control your thoughts and mood to avoid bad trip, definitely not a party drug

Still here, thanks all for the reply. Live and learn, as I said the grow process was interesting. Some contamination's after time. I had a dung/coir mix (it appeared to me anyway) and I was able to harvest a lot. So I dumped the shoe box contents in a backyard tub. They are still producing out there. I'm working on some APE now thinking I'll spawn to only a coir bulk, Its more or less just for fun, I don't expect the experience to be much different from the Tidal Wave. Had some boxs of ALT 7 truffle and was wondering if anyone had a pleasant way to ingest those? Not sure but would slicing and cooking like garlic render it useless? I seen a youtube in which some young woman was having trouble chewing raw truffles and swallowing. I thought oh no, not for me. After that I have some LC's of regular mushrooms to grow out, pink oyster and shitake. I would also like to ask if anyone experienced any difference in active content between the stipe and the cap? Since I powder, should I keep it separate? It was a fun process, I thank you all.

one thing you must realize this isn't like anything else. Each time you do it you will get whole different experience. Even the body high will change. sometimes unpleasant sometimes extremally pleasant. that's why they say mood and setting are so important. also the music you listen too can also play a huge part in where it takes you and even have an impact on your body high. just play around with it see what might work for you.
