My first ever grow (5 years ago this month) was bacterial, I ate it, I was fine. Third or fourth grow was bacterial and I ate it and got a stomach ache. Only other time I got a stomach ache from shrooms was eating ones we picked from cow shit in Texas.

Not all of them from cow shit made me sick, but one time it did, and made my friends sick.

Does anyone wash their shrooms before dehydrating? I’ve thought about it and never did. Might loose some potency?

I found drying them with the coir on the bottom and then taking a soft toothbrush and brushing it off ideal for having “clean” shrooms. But if a wash won’t hurt I’ll probably start doing that.

I’ve heard people saying that most stomach issues on shrooms come from contamed grows. But like at least for me. Any psychedelic causes stomach issues. (They work on serotonin receptors and ur stomach is hilariously riddled with them)
I get the shits on acid, I get them on shrooms, I’ve gotten them when I’ve taken nbome in the past and 2c-b.

Now if ur still shitting ur brains out the next day ur shrooms might’ve gave you food poisoning I always throw mine away that even seem off.

Just boil fruits in teas, discard the solids and you’ll always be fine. The vast majority of us have all eaten shrooms from funky subs.

I’m not going to call anyone a ‘pussy’ but chucking fruits because of a funky substrate is really silly and kinda dumb.

Following that logic do we all throw out bags of fruits because a sub went moldy the day or two after harvest? Fuck no :lol:

I agree. I’ve read everyone’s takes and I agree throwin them away because of the sub being funky is dumb. But i have had mushrooms with nasty slimy bacteria growing on them and I tossed those lol. Idk if it was tap water or my environment but any water that sat in my tubs last run (even condensation) turned into a filmy Slimey colony of bacteria and most the shrooms touching the side we’re covered in it.

I don’t know how to say this properly but I personally don’t eat all of my harvests. So I take my pretty extreme precautions. Mine are always top notch or that’s what I strive for.

Edit: I’m bad with words so I’ll simplify. I’ll eat that shit if it’s growing out of green or shit, I won’t eat that shit if it’s slimey and smells funky.

Never thought about it but I don't think it would lose potency, or enough to notice. Unless you soak them in hot water.

I've only wiped spores off with paper towel but don't even bother doing that anymore. Some people hate the taste but I don't notice.

I wash fruit before eating it but that's for any pesticides.

Never had stomach issues from LSD but what you said makes sense.

I guess if you think about it our mushroom subs are cleaner than the soil in my garden. It’s riddled with compost, manure, bacteria, all types of fungi. I eat everything I pull out of that dirt. Sometimes I cook it first. Sometimes I wash it off. Sometimes it looks so good I wipe off any visible dirt and chow down mid harvest. I’m still here, so it can’t be all that bad. I even drink right from the hose if I’m thirsty while watering. :shrug:

I feel like xVadisx would often rinse their harvest before dehydrating. Made for some pretty pics, mouthwatering tbh. Seems like personal preference

you can kill bacteria with heat, but you may not neutralize (for lack of a better term) any toxins that they may have produced. this is why you can cook spoiled meat until the sun burns out but you'll still get sick from eating it.

the nice thing is that a 12-24 hour 160f drying cycle constitutes pasteurization, which will kill all of the cooties. with wet you have to be more careful.

I've gotten the bubble guts from a tub of RW i threw in the laundry room and forgot about and it until it spontaneously threw a third flush and I thought "meh why not" and dried them.

Bubble guts. thats why. Few things suck worse than bubble guts when you're tripping.

I don't mind rescuing a few healthy looking hostages from a trichy tub. Trich doesn't scare me at all but bacteria sure does. Fruits that are literally starting to get slimy should automatically tingle your spidey senses. they belong in the compost. I wouldn't say thats being a pussy or anything but tossing fruit that came from trichey tubs seems a little wasteful if the fruit is crispy. I "eat around the worm" with apples all the time.

Spidey senses. You should have them at this point in your life.

Sometimes mushrooms upset my stomach on as little as a couple of dry grams, sometimes they don’t. Usually when I eat fresh I don’t have issues. You know, minus feeling fibrous slime slide down my tongue and trying to hold back projectile vomiting.

Last trip was 1.2g dry pan cyan and that made me a little nauseous. Then sometimes I’ll take 7g+ and not feel a thing. Idk 🤷‍♂️

It blows me away that people with the fresh mushrooms just eat em raw. Especially with reactions like that. I kinda enjoy em fresh with some veggies, maybe some dressing. But a light maillard reaction makes cubes a top 10 cullinary mushroom ime

You keep suggesting it. This next tub is going to have some fatties in it perfect for trying. Maybe I’ll give it a whirl. You might be convincing me

Both are true.

Our guts have a lot of serotonin receptors. And we have trouble digesting chitin.

The combination is why cubes cause more nausea generally than either LSD or raw button mushrooms.

Anxiety can also upset the stomach. So, there's an emotional component too.
