okay to eat mycelium?

Hello everyone! Happy birthday to my cakes! My cherry has been popped!
Okay, so they are out of their jars and in their terrerium. I am using PF Tek.
I noticed when scraping away the dry vermiculite layer, I scraped away just a little bit of mycelium.
I rinsed this loose mycelium free of any vermiculite... I know that it has a very short shelf life, and I am keeping it in the fridge till for now.. (Its only a small amount, about the size of a pea, in total.)
My question is, is it okay to eat this, and will I experience the effects of a p. cubenesis mushroom, if that's what I happen to be growing. ;-)
Thanks all!

i am pretty sure their is a small amount of psilo in them (someone correct me if im wrong) but i read a study someone did with this subject and concluded that the effects were nil.

Plus you'll be eating vermiculite, do you really want to do that?

He said he washed away all of the vermiculite.

If it's the size of a pea, you won't get any effects. To me, eating mycelium is like eating a seed instead of the fruit it will grow. GL.

Nah, MYCELIUM WORKS JUST FINE iF YOU EAT IT THE RIGHT WAY. So ya, it works but dont eat the vermiculite. Mycilium works just fine and this has been known for a long time. Some people actually culture mycelium in a sort of water mixture for its effects. Granted you need a quite a bit more than one gram of the dried matter to equal one gram of shrooms.
So ya it works and the actives are certainly there. I just had to say this because it so very true.
Im a "someone" who has who has prepared two spent cakes properly and the effects are more than obvious. Eat enough and you will trip.....

I would have just left the scraped away mycelium where it was. It will grow into the rest and sort of "heal".

Azurescens mycelium seems to be a little more potent and give a cleaner trip.

I wouldn't if it contained any non-food ingredient i.e vermiculite, peat moss, perlite, etc...
Also, who knows what unseen contaminant may be living in there along with the psilocybe mycelium.

While I was tripping the mushrooms told me that they like coffee. So I did some with just coffee grounds and brown rice. My golden teacher is growing mycelium almost half the jar. I want to eat some mycelium later because iv been seeing people drink mycelium water.

I have wondered about using the water from a dunk and boiling it down to the size of a shot or two.

Sure they do that with other species but Cubes don't make as much as you think. I bet if you harvested 4 quarts of millet spawn fully colonized you'll get a few grams mycelium, it weighs absolutely nothing. The weight is in the fruits.

I have found this thread because I had the same question. Had a cake and a grow back that was getting so thick with mycelium and nothing was growing. Decided to shave the Myc back and hope something grows. I noticed the myc bruised purple so figured what the heck. Probably about 4 -6 grams wet and worked very well. Much more dense than a shroom. Trying to find out a more scientific answer but it work well. Just trying to get a good comparison to shrooms. Yes, I ate a bit of Verm but it was fine. Better than egg hells on a hard boiled egg and better than sand in a raw oyster!

I don't know for sure if it's ok to eat, but this:
The magic mushrooms of Psilocybe cubensis and P. baeocystis were submerged and grown in the media and it was discovered that the mycelium and sclerotia were excellent sources of psilocybin and psilocin.
....is from this study published just this past December 2022:

I have some cakes that refused to fruit as well, and I'm OK with eating the mycelium. I found several sources saying this is safe. I am concerned about guessing the proper dosage for a trip. How much Myc would I need to eat/drink to equal to eating 3 average sied shrooms?
