AAARGH! Noooo! My precious mushrooms!!

No! I had a nice harvest of myshrooms. After leaving them 'semi-dry' in newspaper for two days i realised today that quite a few have a nice bit of white fuzzy mold! I am very pissed off! This seems to be my last batch for the season and i really wanted to trip this sat.
My question is, would it be safe to just scrape the mold off maybe then eat it? Or should i just boil it all up in a brew? I'm a bit skeptical of this mushroom tea having only ever eaten them fresh or dry but never in a tea. I hope i wouldn't lose much potency but i'll have to wait and see.
I cant remember eating anything moldy but i'm sure its unhealthy and i'd probly barf b4 i even get them down anyway!
it isn't that much mold tho, just a bit...
what's ure guys suggestions?

Always dry mushrooms as soon as possible or they rot as you found out. Eating somthing that could possibly make me seriously ill just to trip sounds like a bad choice. Id toss em and try again.

think of them like any other vegtible or a a sandwhich, would you eat a sandwhich that was covered in white mold? it will do the same thing to you.

I dont think that is very easy to do. More likely than not they much make your stomach a little queasy, but you never know if your going to have an allergic reaction. Or somone else who eats them will have an allergic reaction. I wouldnt roll the rice on my health like that.

DO NOT EAT IT
most molds are poisonus. if you decide to eat it, cut off the fuzzy white parts and eat the rest of the parts that arent fuzzy white

Personally (at least by the sound of your mushrooms), i would eat em after cutting off the affected parts. I might even break them up to look inside and whatnot. Good luck though, hope nothin goes wrong.

Seriously though, don't eat that shit.

Throw it out.
Exactly, even if they are safe, there will always be that suspicion in your mind, and when tripping, that suspicion may turn into absolute conviction that you have consumed something that will kill you. That is something you do not want to be pondering while in the middle of a trip.

Well i ended up eating the mushrooms after cutting them up and giving thema good thorough washing. Wet dried mushrooms taste crap btw. Good Fresh ones are the best and then just chewin on dried ones is alright but i almost gagged eating them.
I drank all the tea with cordial and started feeling pretty sick (gas). It got way worse after that and i was breathing really heavily and feeling really shit! I began tripping and then thought 'heh, maybe i DID poson myself... that would really suck'. Not a pleasant thought. Eventually i just threw up and felt absolutely great. Just purged all that shit out and felt all good and cleansed.
After that i had a fuckin amazing time. One of my stronger trips. Was listening to Aenema and then Lateralus. I would've been peaking i reckon at about Third Eye. The sounds were like echoing into each other. As if the next sound or phrase was an echo of the one preceding it but was still recognisable as the sound/word that it really was. I got a lot of mental/auditory and visual hallucinations like this. As if surrounding objects bled into each other or merged into each other, but as if transparently or blended. + Got the usual wall breathing + patterning. Fuckin ace experience!
At about Mantra on lateralus i got some real intense time dilation, and for the rest of the album too. It was as if the music was really really expanded, sounds i've never heard before. But they were as if the echo or negative of the actual sounds that were there. Ever see a dali painting where he makes shapes out of the negative space? imagine that but with sound (also happened visually).
Watching the schism video, and then later on Lateralus was simply amazing! No way to explain it really except the video had so much more emotion, depth or meaning. And it also seemd like perfection. Every now and then i'd feel like a click or sumthin (probly my heater automatically switchin on and off) and it was as if i just woke up into another world. Like alll the noise and distortions just got cleared away and i was seeing everything as it truly was, clean and crisp. I felt different too.
Also depth and size perception was way off. If i stood up and looked down at my hands i felt really tall and that my hands were real far away. If i looked up at the ceiling i felt incredibly small. At one point in time it was as if there was a coloured horizontal gradient overlaying my view. It went yellow red green or sumthin like that.
Didn't get as much patterns and movement as a few times before but lots of distortion, skewed angles, colours (not much colour movement tho, ie: blending from one to another) I think it all depends on the stage in the trip and what you are doing/thinking, where u are etc...
Because all of my trips have been very different. (sure there are similarities but...) I have had some pretty amazing trips but very different, different types of visuals and a different mind/body trip.
This trip was less visual in some ways (more in others?) but was by far the most intense, it might be due to the fact i was smokin mj all thru it and this was some real good shit

i am so sorry to hear about you losing your mushrooms, i don't think that there is anyway you can get rid of the mold chemically. you could try cutting them off, but think of the mold the same way your shrooms grew. they went all the way through everything before they fruited, as did the mold. chances are the whole shroom has been infested with the mold. you could try to cut off the moldy parts, but i wouldn't recommend it.

Yeah, I ate moldy mushrooms and tripped off of them once, and for a good hour, its all I could think about, it was a fucking mental struggle to keep myself thinking "I'll be alright, its just mold", it was the closest i've come to a bad trip.

Do they happen to be the cubensis strain? They tend to do that, if it's really white and does not smell bad you can rest assured that it is just mycelium. I once threw away an entire harvest of 60 shrooms because of this..

Again, 2 years old. And getting a white mold to grow on mushrooms that weren't fully dried is common (aside from mycellium).
