The Best Trip of My Life.... Gyms and Cubes combined!

I happen to weigh roughly 145 pounds. I started the night off at around 8:45 by ingesting 4 dried grams of psilocybe cubensis B+ mushrooms. I went ahead and turned on the second disk of the Phish It concert in Limestone, Maine. I laid down on my bed and watched the show while anticipating a good trip. What happened next was quite odd. An hour and twenty minutes went by and I was completely sober. I therefore went on a drive to pick up a pack of skittles (I’m addicted to them). On my way back home I ended up smoking a phat bowl by myself of some pretty good bud. As I was putting my piece up something extraordinary occurred that I had not expected to occur. I felt a calling to indulge in 3.6 dried grams of Gymnopilus Spectabilis that I had on hand. What happened next? I ate those freaking gyms of course! When I feel a calling, I do not suppress it. I drove back to my house and laid back on my bed. I began to munch down some skittles while my dog slept on my stomach. The show was then turned back on. Thirty minutes later after consuming the gyms, it finally came. I had shut my eyes and when I opened them the wall that was in front of me started to shake. The psychedelic world invited to step through its gate, and I graciously accepted the invitation. Psychedelic patterns rapidly appeared upon my walls. I stared at my dog and he was covered in psychedelic patterns as well. The shutters on the outside of my closet appeared to be waterfall-like if you understand what I’m saying. I was enjoying the music which was of course enhancing my trip. After another 30 minutes I was so deeply immersed inside of the psychedelic pool to where I understood that the gyms were not the only contributers of the intensity. The B+ cubes finally began to kick in. I have absolutely no idea why it took them so long, but I know that it was them that I felt. Now this is where things became very interesting. I had by now obtained a relatively high psilocin and psilocybin quantity. The amounts of the compounds were almost the same. I then started to experience a trip that I’ve never experienced before. I had a lot of random mushroom hallucinations! A couple of mushrooms started to grow off of Trey’s guitar and Mike’s base. Sorry, I just had to mention that! But anyways, I decided to shut my eyes…… and oh my goodness…. a whole new world came into being. It was as clear as day, and felt 100% authentic. I was in a new psychedelic world that was completely foreign to me in which shapes, figures, and landscapes constantly and rapidly became other shapes, figures, and landscapes. Whatever I thought about seemed to come into existence. I thought, and therefore I created! Trees would turn into psychedelic tubes that I would slide through, and then a sun would appear with a gigantic winged creature flying over it, etc. This realm was totally unlike that of ordinary reality. The state of mind that I was in was very lucid like. All of these closed eyes apparitions were three dimensional and would appear at my will. The music affected the closed eye world that I was enraptured within. The colors within the world would change along with a change in music. Motions were changed along with changes in music. Synesthesia took place. It was very fascinating. The music played a large factor. This closed eye psychedelic world lasted for ages. Eventually I opened my eyes and viewed my room. Every object within it was so strongly covered in psychedelic patterns to where it was hard to actually make them out. Now another very interesting thing occurred. I shut my eyes, and yet it was as if I didn’t shut my eyes. My eyes were closed, but I still retained sight of what I viewed when they were open. My eyes were closed, and it felt as if they were open. The Phish It concert was over, and I ended up turning the TV off. My room was now pitch black, and oh man, it was fucking amazing. Psychedelic patterns were all over the place and happened to be very vivid. The glow in the dark stars that are on my ceiling were shaking! Finally the climax was slowly dwindling away. Now I came into contact with the Transcendent Other, that of self reflection. I was finally able to be the true person that I am, the person that is usually suppressed due to today’s culture. Anywho… after that I had loads and loads of thoughts that were crossing my mind. I checked the time and it was 3:30 in the morning. I have always believed that there is a divine force within this world, and this trip reinforced that thought. Finally I passed out at around 5:00. I only got a few hours of sleep. When I woke up I was greeted with the usual profound sense of gratitude for having my brain functioning properly. Anyways…. what’s the point of all this? Get some fucking gyms and combine them with some cubes…. the trip will be fucking amazing! The world is a glorious place! Peace!

What an enlightening trip! A very interesting read.
Did you grow your gyms? Are you familiar with their pharmacology?

I like to avoid this during my trips, but it still occurs from time to time. Some times I think funny and interesting stuff, while otheres I can't get my personal life out of my head. I donno.
Good report I enjoyed reading it.

From what I understand gyms are a bit difficult to grow if you even can grow them. I know that some people have tried growing them, but I haven't heard of any successful grows. However, after inoculation of your substrate it should take around at least a year for you to see growth as gyms are slow growers. 3.6 dried gyms by themselves would put you right in between a level 2 and a level 3 trip. I've taken gyms before, but never with cubes. Gyms are generally weak when it comes to potency. It takes around 7 grams to have a level 5. However, the interesting part is that they have a relatively high psilocin level when compared to other hallucinogenic mushrooms so the trip is a bit different. Gyms usually grow off of decayed oak trees, or at the bottom of them. I don't know where you live, but they might grow in your area. A forest is the place to be when hunting gyms. I've only found Gymnopilus Spectabilis. The spore print will be yellow/orange, they will smell like stale beer, and they should bruise green. Here's a pic.
These gyms are currently drying. Picture taken by YESSUP.

And thanks for the other comments guys!

and they also contain other compounds that would alter the experience as well

Gyms are my favorite mushroom to hunt. They are more elusive than Cubes and require that sweet spot in the woods .
You don't need cows for them and its a bit more fun as you can just walk the woods and seek them out as they do tend to call one after an experience 
Now with that said.. Gyms grow all over the world! But not all the Gyms are active....
So you may find them but they may be absolutely worthless as far as active compounds
