Do the mushrooms speak to you?

I was listening to a Terence Mckenna lecture on mp3 "Ayahuasca and its recipes" and at around the 43" mark he states.
"... enough people have experienced this now that we can make a generalisation about it, the mushrooms talk! they speak to you in your native tongue, and at conversational speed and it's the damnedest thing. until it happens to you, you can't imagine what people are talking about. Once it happens to you, you know exactly what they mean. The mushroom is animate, and articulate and also kind of extraterrestrial ..."
Has anyone here experienced this?
Interesting trend developing. The majority of post say the mushrooms don't speak while the majority of the poll takers say that they do.
Being a relative newbie, I have only just touched the surface of the psychadelic experience and all of my revelations come in the form of an internal dialogue. I would really like to hear some background on the occasions when you had conversations with the little brothers, i.e. dose, set and setting, and any additional actives that may have expanded the experience.
cheers

I have had a mushroom (one of the ones that I found and ate) talk to me before. It just popped out of nowhere, on my right side. Its eyes opened and it started talking to me. I couldn't understand what it was saying......but it was talking to me none the less.
I think it was telling me, the secrets on how to grow them. Since I started growing them shortly after this conversation.

Well I certainly hear voices when I take mushrooms...I wouldn't say the mushrooms are 'speaking' to me though, more like I'm fucked in the head and hearing voices that aren't there.

I've heard voices, I've just usually been able to identify them as voices I recognize. Again, I'm more scientific than spiritual, to me these voices aren't mushrooms talking to me, they're a result of brain signals getting mixed up and the abnormal way your brain's being forced to function. Nerves start firing off, maybe due to a change in emotions telling you to be happy, the signal gets mixed up, and gets reassembled from an emotion/thought into speech picked up by our brain as audio input

Scientific, spiritual... whatever, I love that 'shrooms talk. No matter how it happens, brain synapses or if it actually is the mushroom (which I don't necessarily believe or really doubt either), no other drug behaves in the same way that they do. I get subconscious insights that seem to originate from a second party, and I love that. Especially 'cause they're always giving me such positive advice like eat right, exercise, love God and your fellow man, forgive yourself and others, people don't think you're weird... stuff like that.

i've been on a serious path toward god and spirituality my entire life.
and 99% of my wisdom came from the voice of the mushrooms.
and i don't take seriously anybody who has never experienced psychdelics.

id say ya during my first trip i blacked out for idk how long and when i came back to consciousness i was across the room from my two friends who were also tripping for the first time. everything was hazy and a voice keep telling me i was in Einsteins room. i felt way abnormal and started getting scared so i just scooted across the room and starting vibing with my friends again and the funny thing is they didn't even notice that i moved.

F*ck yeah they speak to a person.
Me, they spoke to me. They told me how to save Earth 5 years ago, and i'v dedicated my life to manifesting those images.
Last weekend was only the 2nd time I have dosed that hard and they backed it all up:) Very clear internal dialogue. Walking at night time. Being in powerful natural locations. Meditating and listening to your breath.. your hearbeat.. asking important questions.. what's the best question that I can ask? And asking better quesions, still.
Now, I am venturing to openly state that mushrooms are definitely extraterrestrial intelligence and that a 'trip' is for all intensive purposes as useful a metaphor as 'an alien visitation' as any metaphor you're likely to encounter.
Better yet, as you begin unconsciously engineering even more powerful metaphors of your own.. now, isn't amazing to look back on this question with a thousand new psychdelics references only to know that you have just begun?
and then laugh so loud you feel it rip through your heart, and the walls around you.. and into every particle of every cell of every proton of every piece of existence and non-existence all at once, and paradoxiaclly neither..
and.. blah! To hell with it all. God laughing at himself..

yes, but the way it speak to me is not in voices at all.... its more of a foreign feeling, or telepathic energy, that fills you up with knowledge.

Speak, sing.. show, demonstrate, provide perfumes.. recalling images, sounds and self talk.
which representational system is your primary, and how can you more fully develop your other capacities? Now, or later we all realise what modalities create thought and which we prefer. Or not.

I've heard some theories before about the mushrooms being an extraterrestrial race come to earth to bond in a symbiotic relationship to any organic life form comprehensive enough to understand, or at least try interpret, their infinite wisdom. Sounds fun, but I'm not exactly sure I believe this theory just yet.
I've never had any experiences with the mushies talking to me, but I've still got a lot to learn so maybe they will one day. Until then they are just a fungus to me.

I've spoken to and seen many entities whilst on high dosage mushroom trips - some specifically identifying themselves as the mushroom/psilocybin being(s) some more abstract and ellusive.
I choose to remain undecided as to who/what they are.
Interdimensional beings? Reflections of my subconscious?
All I know is that I am a better person for having met and conversed with them - having quit hard drug addiction, alcoholism and generally become happier and more creative since I started regularly taking mushrooms over five years ago.
The mushrooms speak to me on so many levels, even when I don't understand what they're saying I at least think I know that on some tier of consciousness I am taking on board what they mean.
