Vermiculite is not fit for human consumption. You can however, perform an extraction on them. In my experience, 1 1/2 pint cake is equivalent to 0.5-1g of dry material.

> Vermiculite is not fit for human consumption.
I've never seen anything to indicate that vermiculite is anything but inert and non-toxic. One industry site describes it as "lightweight, fireproof, non-toxic and non-hazardous."
Plenty of people have consumed cakes with no ill effects, so I'm curious why you think verm is not safe to eat.
But back to the subject, cakes contain such low levels of actives before fruiting as to make it totally foolish to eat them as you'll get no effects.
Spent cakes may contain just enough to be useful, but come on who really wants to eat them? It's just stupid when you have or can produce fruits.

i think if you eat a cake to trip..even if its not going to kill you, you should probably evaluate your priorities. eating a big mass of mycelium to get a mild trip seems like a horrible idea.

Vermiculite might not hurt you, but please consider doing an extraction rather than consuming, do you really want to eat mineral insulation?
If the cake has fruited a couple times, do an extraction. If you have got nothing off of it yet, don't bother as the contents will be worthless.

They took it off the market from many of the stores where I live because some studies found that it was carcinogenic or something (san diego). Home depot and many of the local garden stores didnt have it, not saying it was impossible to find, just hard, but there are definitely some health concerns associated with verm.

If you're THAT desperate to trip, you probably shouldn't be using psychoactives. This type of escapism is what leads to destructive behavior and a distaste for reality, if this in itself is not escapism.
Good luck, been there, done that, and I'm still OK, so, yeah, just good luck.

What you're talking about is asbestos contaminated vermiculite.
"some products were made with vermiculite that contained asbestos until the early 1990s, and now vermiculite mines throughout the world are regularly tested for it"
That was from ONE vermiculite mine and those products have been off the market for about 15 years now. Todays verm is not mined from asbestos contaminated mines and is tested for asbestos.

i remember reading a trip report on erowid of a cake eat (4 guys). from what i read, it was an average strength trip but i have no personal experience. i would not relish eating that nasty stuff so i would look to do an extraction. there's a tek somewhere here and also on erowid.

I have 5 cakes, and this sounds like an interesting experiement to try. No worries, I have two extra syringes and 3 spore prints... so its not like I'm losing anything. But I can't seem to find an extraction method for verm and BRF. Wheres the link at?

I made a warm water cup strained about a half cup worth of cake, when I was crumbling cakes to coir for god knows what reason, and I have to admit it was worth it.
At the time I just wanted a little mental stimulation for a carving design, and I got just the vibe I was looking for. It did make my stomach somewhat upset the next day, but worth the trouble.

I have one cake that just feels its about 2 weeks behind all the other 4 cakes and they were all inoculated at the same time. What did you do Glacier? Make warm water, then soak the cake in it for awhile, then drink the water?

It's unfit in the same manner that sand is unfit for consumption. It may not be toxic, but the human digestive system lacks the ability to break it down, so eating it is generally a bad idea in my opinion.

Mushrooms themselves are mostly chitin, which is indigestible. So is fiber and all manner of things that are good for you. Some people even eat sand or dirt on a regular basis and claim health benefits from it. Your opinion has no reasonable basis in fact.

i think it's kinda ridiculous that any of you would say that it is not worth it and i shouldn't do it and i'm foolish for doing it.... are you that dumb? obviously i want to trip right now for a specific reason.. if i know how to grow cakes you think i don't know how to get the fruits of my labor?
i eat a cake when i'm low on shrooms and i just got a new apartment and i'm celebrating...
i WILL trip because of celebration!!!
don't dis on me for why i do what i do... i simply asked if it's safe and if anyone knows how much cake contains the amount of psilycbin/psilocin (whateva)
don't try to tell me how to grow!!! my reasons for my experiments are completely irrelevent to what question i asked... for fuck sake!!!!!!
thank you akamatsu this is what i was looking for...
In my experience, 1 1/2 pint cake is equivalent to 0.5-1g of dry material. (and putting the cakes in a tea is genuis)

Just settle down...
You came here asking a question and you got answers. Just because you don't like the answers doesn't mean you have to get upset. You were pointed out that eating cakes is a n00b thing to do and you weren't likely to get good results and that there's very little actives in them.
Even the most optimistic person suggests that you'd have to eat an entire cake for each 1/2 gram dose. So what are you going to eat several cakes just for a mild trip? Just because you can do something doesn't mean it's worth it. Good luck.

I would love to see some testimonials about that.
Ok...
Quote:
It melts in your mouth like chocolate, says Ruth Anne T. Joiner, describing her favorite treat.
"The good stuff is real smooth," she adds. "It's just like a piece of candy."
"If I could get just one little bitty piece, that would stop the craving," she says. "It has a fresh, natural-feeling taste, like the rain or something."
The habit of eating clay, mud or dirt is known as geophagy. Some experts lump it into the same category as pica, which is the abnormal urge to eat coins, paint, soap or other non-food items.
Cultures worldwide have practiced geophagy for centuries, from the ancient Greeks to Native Americans. In most places the habit is limited to women, especially women who are pregnant or of childbearing age.
The practice is common in sub-Saharan Africa, and many anthropologists believe geophagy was brought to the United States by African slaves. It is now most commonly found among African-American women in the rural South.
Though the practice is rarely if ever recommended by medical professionals, some nutritionists now admit the habit of eating clay may have some real health benefits.
"It is possible that the binding effect of clay would cause it to absorb toxins," said Dr. David L. Katz, nutrition expert at the Yale School of Medicine and a medical contributor for ABC News.
Clay's ability to absorb plant toxins is well documented. Jared Diamond, professor of geography and physiology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and author of "Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies" has written on clays that are especially good at binding with plant toxins.

Lets examine this
#1 he has no shrooms but has a cake
he could eat the cake and trip a little and have nothing left
OR
wait, fruit the cake, have a few GOOD doses, a couple of sporeprints and be self sufficient from then on.

Chitin and fibre don't contain large quantities of Magnesium (8.68%), Aluminum (23.01%), Iron (9.97%) or Silicon (5.57%). I can't be sure the body would absorb any of these materials in the forms they are found in vermiculite, but it's generally agreed upon that consuming them as minerals poses a health risk.
In any case, an extraction is a far more pleasant way to go about it.

Who agreed upon this and when?
The vermiculite industry claims that it is "non-toxic" and "non-dangerous". I see no reason to think that any harm could come from eating and passing undigested verm.

That's because they don't assume you'll be eating it. You claim my opinion has no reasonable basis in fact, then allow me to add a little more detail. From the link I posted previously, vermiculite is made up from 14% Magnesium Oxide, which causes diarrhoea. That alone is enough to put me off.
