Has anyone here ever eaten gymnopilus spectabilis? What kind of trip does it give? Would it make me more prone to laughing? Is there anything special about it?

Gyms are some of my most absolute favorite mushrooms to trip on, which reminds me that I need to go on a Gym hunt soon! When taking the Psilocybin/Psilocin ratio into account, Gyms have a higher concentration of Psilocin than most Psilocybin mushrooms do; however, like most Psilocybin mushrooms, the Psilocybin is still present in larger quantities than the Psilocin. Along with having Psilocybin, Psilocin, Baeocystin, and Norbaeocystin, Gyms apparently have variously other unstudied chemicals in them that are psychoactive. Gyms are truly unique mushrooms. I tend to get absolutely amazing visuals during my Gym trips. They do taste very bitter, and when you find them, they will smell like stale beer. You can always grind them up in a coffee grinder and put the powder in capsules; that way, you won't notice the otherwise nasty taste. As for laughing, a good friend of mine laughs his ass off on Gyms. I laugh somewhat, but I haven't noticed a drastic difference in laughing in comparison to my other trips. Anyways, yeah, man, Gyms are very interesting. Be sure to write up a trip report.
Here's a picture of some Gymnopilus Spectabilus mushrooms I found a while back while hunting with YESSUP.

By the way, be sure that what you find are Gymnopilus Spectabilus mushrooms. They can be hard to identify. The ones in the picture above were small Gyms; however, they do range in size, and they can get quite large. You're looking for a rusty orange/yellow spore print, a coloration that is somewhat similar to the sun.
Peace.

I usually hear about Gym's losing alot, if not all, of their potency when dried. Are yours still active while dried? How many grams of that batch to you have to eat dried to trip moderately?

Yeah I'm sure those were filled to the brim with little worms and parasites that'd love to get in your tract system.

I agree they are in a 100 percent inedible state ,but now that I know what to keep a eye out for ..........now that I think of it,I would have been hesitant to say that those were active to someone new on the forum..... Nevermind  I have been reading thru some of the older posts on this part of the forums and understand why the active fact was .......overlooked.Not that this is a blind mission,but, its a added bonus to know this information. Thnx for the great help everyone has been soo far ,I will crawl back in my hole now that I have put my own foot in my .................... 60 days or 100 posts ....tick tock tick tock.........

Nah, I've never really noticed a loss in potency due to the drying process. Mine have always still been active.
9 dried grams of Gyms is pretty much the equivalent of 5 dried grams of P. Cubensis. 3-5 dried grams of Gyms make for a fun trip. If I can remember correctly, I believe that picture contained around 4 grams of Gyms, which made for an excellent experience.

One way to get pass the bitter taste is to dry them, powder them, and mix with a shot of your preferred whiskey.(My preferred whiskey is "Wild Turkey Barrel Proof") Not only does the alcohol cut the bitter taste, it also gets in the blood stream a-lot quicker than if you just ate the gyms alone. I recommend around 10-15 grams for a really good trip, or 20-30 grams for one that will blow your mind away! Warning though, if you go for the heavy dose, be sure not to leave your home or watch a black-light strobe light. Too much visual stimulation will turn a great trip into a nightmare from hell!!!

I just picked a small cluster of gyms yesterday, I thought they were out of season. I absolutely love these guys, very abundant and easy to find and I.D. And the gyms here in southeastern georgia have very little bitterness. They actually taste quite good when made into a tea or just eaten fresh.

They will fruit there until the nutrients from that substrate are exhausted.

its possible for gymnopilus to flush multiple times in the same spot, in the same season.
