This is a mushroom (ps. subaeruginosa) experience I had about a month ago, wrote up, but never posted. I tried submitting it to Erowid, but nothing I ever submit makes it on Erowid...I guess my writing style sucks ;>

------

My first experience with magic mushrooms was a couple of years ago back in 2004 (panaeolus cyanescens) and it was a glowing experience where I was able to reflect on a lot of my past experiences and develop a deeper insight into said experiences. So after going mushroom hunting in nearby parks and forests and picking a large number of psilocybe subaeruginosa (gold tops, copper tops...whatever you call them), it was only natural that I wanted to jump right back into the arms of the most powerful psychedelic I have had to date. So last night, I jumped.

I ate five relatively small mushrooms and then one rather large mushroom at 11:45pm and then set myself up for the trip; turned my bedroom lights off, put on some music and proceeded to lay down on my bed to wait for the onset.

After half an hour, I started getting heavily nauseous. Having recently read about the effects of mushroom poisoning, I started to think the worst as the queasiness became more intense. By this time I was also having weak geometric hallucinations. Of course, the hallucinations should have made me think "well, they can't be poisonous, I'm seeing shit now", but this thought was never really clicked. I stopped thinking about the possibility of mushroom poisoning, but by then it was too late; I was high in the sky and my subconscience had poisoning as the hot topic.

I got up off my bed to walk down the hall to the office in an attempt to get my mind back on the good things around me. While walking across my room, the rug caught my eye. This rug resembles a sort of eastern civilisation rug, like that from Egypt or similar, and consisted of a myriad of different, yet complementing patterns ranging from shades of red and brown to creamy, off-white. For the ten seconds or so that I stared at it, I was encapsulated in another world of which I had no desire to escape from, but had to because of the current difficulty I was having with the trip. This is a world I intend on visiting in the future when I'm in a better head space.

I soon continued to walk down the hall to sit at my computer in the office. I started randomly messaging people on IRC to chat to. Everyone was in a time-zone twelve to sixteen hours behind, so everyone was working or running errands. After another half an hour, just after 1am, someone came online and responded to my constant pleas for comfort. While I was chatting to a couple of people of whom I am very comfortable talking with, the feeling of nausea slowly weakend and my mind was more interested in reading what they had to say. I can't begin to explain how helpful this was for me.

It was just before 2am when the trip was at its worst. I had a severely dry mouth so I got up to get a drink of water from the kitchen. When I got back to the computer, and intense head spin came on and my eye-sight had become blurred beyond the point of recognising small objects. It only lasted a couple of minutes, but that was enough for me. Once 2am rolled around, I said my goodbyes, went to bed and made an attempt at sleeping.

For half an hour, I was rolling around in bed without any control whatsoever. If I opened my eyes, the intense geometric hallucinations bombarded my mind with strong visuals that I was unable to tame, but if I closed my eyes, the closed-eye visuals would take me for a monstrous ride. I just couldn't win. I kept telling myself "I did this to myself, I wanted this, so I need to stick it out." This helped a lot, and at about 2:30am, the trip took a major turn for the good; I was in control.

Once I was in control, it became the most enjoyable trip that I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. The visuals were still very vivid and mind blowing, but they weren't uncomfortable or difficult to handle and I was just enjoying them and soaking up everything that was thrown at me. I found that a lot of my visuals, if they weren't geometric, they were cartoonish figures. Mostly Disney looking characters; Donald Duck and the characters in the cartoon Duck Flies Coop.

During the last couple of hours, I layed there questioning about my chosen area of study: IT and engineering. While I enjoy IT a lot, I seemed to have lost that spark I once had and now find myself using any excuse I can to not study. The only problem I have is that I'm in my third year of university and have already spent all this money on my studies. Should I change majors? Should I stick it out, get my IT degree and then move onto something else? The problem then is what would I move onto that I would contemplate a career in? All questions that I struggled to find answers to under the psychedelic effects of these potent little mushrooms.

I think the trip started out bad because deep down I wasn't fully aware of what to expect seeing my previous experience back in 2004 was a rather light experience overwhelmed by cannabis. I also think I gave myself a little too much credit and thought that I would easily be able to handle anything the mushrooms threw at me. Clearly I overstepped the mark. When I woke up this morning, I checked a couple of trusted resources about what effects to expect on mushrooms, and I could have put a tick next to 90% of them.

Mushrooms are something that I want to experience more, especially if I want to find some guidance in what to do with my studies, but I guess I'm a little scared in what the solution to my problem may be. I'm a little scared that, at the age of 20, I don't know exactly what I want to do with myself. This is an uncertainty that I intend on working on during the next few months.

nice report. I have submitted to trip reports to Erowid and no luck too. I was in advanced writing classes in high school too, so dint feel bad.
