Do psilocybe mushrooms weaken your imune system?

HI i was wondering if psilocybes would weaken your immune system if you are trying to fight a cold, would it make it worse to eat mushrooms? Or in my case a girlfriend says her throat just started hurting, so she doesn't want to eat some fresh picked cyanescens with me because she thinks that when she wakes up tomorrow she will be really sick because of the mushrooms.
Aside from lack of sleep (i suppose) has anyone had any problems or experience with this?

they will actually help you fight it off if you want that. They will make it worse if you are on that wave. your life is very sensitive to the energy you transmit in any circumstance, much more so while tripping on an organic psychedelic. I once dosed acid on chicken pox. It helped me get rid of them. The world is your oyster if you want it. don't worry if you don't want to. blah blah blah.
no, sillysiben won't weaken your immune system. If anything the nutrients in the fungus will help you battle an illness, cubes are actually quite nutritious.

The only way it would weaken your immune system would be if you had a bad trip and became extremely anxious. Because as you may know, stress/anxiety can weaken your immune system, but "sillysiben" wouldn't directly cause it.

I wouldnt do it. Could make her feel worse. Also lack of sleep isnt good for a cold. Hold on to them and trip when your both feeling up to it.

not directly (as far as i know) but mushroom trips can be extremely taxing on the mind and body. if you were coming down with a cold, you should rest in my opinion.

The only way it can weaken your immune system is if you mix with an maio.
From my experience shrooms can cure any cold. That is by themselves, in a nice tea.
--------------------
  "There is a world beyond ours, a world that is far away, nearby, and invisible. And there is where God lives, where the dead live, the spirits and the saints, a world where everything has already happened and everything is known. That world talks. It has a language of its own. I report what it says. The sacred mushroom takes me by the hand and brings me to the world where everything is known. It is they, the sacred mushrooms, that speak in a way I can understand."

Oh man, I totally agree! I had the worst cold for like a week straight, it showed no signs of going away. Then I took some shrooms for unrelated, non-medicinal reasons, and within an hour I felt like a whole new person. The tinge in my throat came back when the trip was over, but the next day I was totally fine. Obviously it could have been a coincidence, but it was incredible nonetheless.

Great feedback. Well we didn't eat any last night. She feels fine this morning. I think it was just an excuse. I kind of had to pressure her the first time we did mushrooms, but in the end she liked it. She would only eat cubies because she had her doubts about my cyanescens pickings from last year, It hurt her stomach at first but then after a little while we both started having the best trip. She even wanted to do them the next day, but i said no it doesn't really work that way.
Never had any real stomach problems with cyanescens before, she doesn't exactly believe me though after her last time with the cubies. She says almost every time i offer that "just the thought of the mushrooms makes my stomach feel bad."
She has never had cyanescens, and i hate to pressure her, but I know we would have a great time, but sometimes it seems that i am destined to trip alone....
