I'm a newcomer to mushrooms.
    #4849057 - 10/25/05 03:04 AM (18 years, 4 months ago)

Hello. :laugh:

I have recently came across a field of "Copelandia cyanescens" and am wanting to try some. I am wondering how risky it is for me to be taking them... should I smoke them or eat them? How much should I take? I am concerned with my mental and physical safety.

Be very sure that they are definitely the mushroom you think they are - if in any doubt don't.

Certainly don't smoke them, you really won't get any effect - or at the very least very little (I don't want this thread to turn into a debate about this as it's been discussed to death - suffice to say...eat them).

If you are interested in eating magic mushrooms read up about them, there are plenty of guides on the web - browse this site for one.

The more information you can digest before you digest the more comfortable you will feel.

Welcome to the board by the way!

How do you know what kind of mushrooms they are?  Please don't be offended by this, but judging by the fact that you asked if you should smoke them, I don't imagine you know very much about mushrooms, and would have a difficult time IDing any.

Have you ever taken mushrooms before?  If not, I'd suggest a good one to one and a half grams of cyans, if that's what they are.  I'm not a mushroom expert, but it is EXTREMELY risky to eat mushrooms if you don't know for certain what they are, as there are many poisionous mushrooms in the wild.  As far as mental safety, make sure you're in a comfortable place with a comfortable atmosphere.  I'd also recommend having at least one sober friend with you, who doesn't necessarily need to "babysit" you, but would be able to help you out if things become difficult.

Check out the FAQ's stickied to the top of most forums, the answers to just about any question you could ask are probably already there.  Good luck!  :sun:

Welcome!

I myself cannot help with Copelandias specifically, but I can a give a little advice.  First thing is to make absolutely positive that you have identified them correctly.  Those on the Mushroom Hunting board should be able to help you with that, if you need it.  Post some pictures.

Second thing, don't smoke them.  You are likely only to get an effect if you vaporize fairly pure (extracted) psilocybin, so I wouldn't worry about that now. 
 
You can eat them fresh, but since you say a whole field, you'll want to dry them.  I wrote a little bit about drying in this thread:
drying

Also, take whatever your drug history is into account when you decide to trip.  If you've never taken psychedelics before, do a lot of reading and ask some questions--it's not something to be done casually.

Good luck!  :thumbup:

Thanks guys.

And no, I do not know much about mushrooms but I know a bit about botany. My history with drugs is very short. I did abit of weed, ritalin but I want to try something new.

I'm quite positive its the correct specimen... it has the golden liquid on top but I haven't any information on the inside. Any body who is experienced in Copelandia's please PM me and give me any information which may be of use.

Golden liquid?

I'd highly recommend going to this post: Mushroom Identification Forum

and asking for help there. I can tell you offhand that no mushroom is ID'd by the color of a liquid.

I wouldn't say a liquid... more of a... glossy kind of thing.

I don't doubt that they did.  I simply can't offer any more help than I already have, as I'm not an expert.  You're free to do as you choose, but I'd go to the Hunting/Mush ID forum and ask for help before eating anything found outside.  This thread should probably be locked, since it doesn't pertain to the psychadelic experience.

That's just :2cents: though.
