Hey, I just bought some shrooms and there are crystals on them. Im wondering if this is natural or if they are laced with something. Thanks

Yeah, vermiculite can often leave a gold-flake type residue... If they're actual crystals then I'm not sure what to think.

gold flakes are ok just blow them off and don't eat to many.
crystals doesn't sound like anything i've ever had.

That just seems like a bad business strategy.. dealing in the first place is a bad idea, but to lace your mushrooms with deadly crystals means you don't get return customers.

Vermiculite is a mineral(I think) that is prcessed and used for planting/growing etc. Its not harmfull, although some people say it gives you cancer(I dout it). but dont worry, just blow it off, or wipe it off, somethin...somethin.....

Vermiculite is commonly used in substrates and casing layers. A couple of tiny bits won't hurt you, but I wouldn't suggest eating a lot. You might get glittershits, which just basically means you shit out the gold flakes and it'll make your poo sparkle.

It is definitely vermiculite, stupid fucks in my locality, the kind who derive 'drug knowledge' from superfluous drug use; claim mushrooms with 'gold crystals' are 'bomb as fuck.'
I try and explain...
It's vermiculite, mo'fucka, I say.

It's a mineral much like mica and lavarock combined. It helps air out the stuff the mushrooms grew from. You're fine to eat them... though some people may call you "glittershits". I eat pounds at a time to exfoliate my rectum.

uh. thats mycelium duder. about half the shrooms i grow have been hollow to some extent. you would grow them the same as any other normal cube. nothing more or less. having some sort of super cyrstals in shrooms id imagine would be impossilbe unless you purposly fill the hollow stems with coke or something? then that would be quite a waste of money.
