Nervous about my shrooms.

So I've been cultivating some Mushies these past few months and I'm about to introduce fruiting conditions in a day or two. It hadn't really dawned on me that I'd have a lot of Mushies to do whatever I want with. A part of me is telli myself "brilliant! Hit the fucking jackpot!" While the other part is saying "calm down lightweight, you blasted off from half an 8th of some gold caps and mycelium cake". I've only taken mushrooms about three times and with a little digging around the general consensus for my cultivation was "intense colorful visions" for one and "uncontrollable hallucinations mixed with confusion" for the other. I've been looking into a lot of different types of microdosages just to test the waters. Anyone else ever have any first time cultivator jitters? Honestly I put every bit of effort into this venture but really I didn't think if get this far and it's kinda starting to overwhelm me....

The smart thing to do is titrate your dose over time, to get a feel for how they affect you.
I'd recommend starting with something like .5-1 gram dry and then working your way up. At that level, the extreme confusion kind of stuff doesn't happen or when it does, it's not as bad. Personally, I felt the same way at my first harvest, I was very apprehensive. I liked dosing low a few times to get more comfortable with the idea of delving deeper.
Also, I found that my home grown mushrooms were much stronger than what I was used to buying from people, but YMMV.

That is funny, op. I kinda felt the same way...then I really got into the cultivation part and ...all of a sudden, I've got like a pound of cracker dry shrooms with only 1 or 2 real friends to take them with. I have a food-saver, so I vacuum sealed the most of them and gave my friends a bunch....even left a oz of them on a picnic table at a music fest just to be a nice guy. Anyway, I'm now pretty much set for life....oh, did I mention that I also took up mushroom hunting as a hobby and hit the jackpot with ovoids which is pretty much all I take now because I like the trip better.
Point is, the shroom gods have been good to us so, it is up to us to share our good fortune. If you have a good tripping buddy...then Iwould have him trip along with you first couple times, like the guy above me said...get a feel for them...then try a higher dose by yourself with the propper set and setting and see where these beautiful enthogens can take you.

I don't have any Mushie buddies, all m pothead friends are all old school and don't do anything other than cannabis so it'll be hard finding a trusting buddy through the sea of thieving tweak filled community of mine.
Maybe I'll try a casual encounter ad on craigslist. That has always worked out for me in the past.

I know I just need more time on here, interact with more Shroomerites, might even find one nearby

Fine you will be. 
PS
PS with a new batch I always try a small dose, maybe half of what I'd expect to be major, just to calibrate the internal dose-ometer...

Yeah it can be hard to find tripping buddies. For me though, solo mushroom trips have been some of my very best experiences. Just start small and find your sweet spot and you won't need a tripsitter.

Just trip alone, I rarely trip with other people because I find them too distracting.

It's quite a difference from being an indulged to being a cultivator, brings me back to when I grew my first cannabis plant, minus the sterility and caution. The time I took shrooms I was with two friends while they were sober (had previously taken theirs the other night, myself at work) and all I wanted to do was talk, I remember my voice suddenly picking up tone as I'd laugh and I'd love it, ' cept for the pissy eyes. Then again these are a new ballpark.

I think it was a radiation mutation, it's likely near Chernoybl but my Crylic is lousy.

No it isn't, that is a perfectly normal looking older specimen of Coprinus comatus.
