Nope. I’m not nearly educated enough in the matter to be able to pick out which ones are the fun shrooms and which ones are the poisonous ones.

There’s already that wave of anxiety that you have to push through as they’re just starting to kick in, and I don’t want to add a genuine concern that I might be dying into that.
 
The only mushrooms I picked were Porcinis and Chantarelles with my dad. Super tasty stuff but limited mind bending properties

Yep.
Long time ago there were some golf courses in BC where they grew wild, absolutely need to know what you're doing.
Luckily I had an Italian grandmother so we learned what was poisonous when we were 5.

Storing them in honey is great, as much as I love me some psilocybin I never liked the taste.

I've had the most amazing and persistent hallucination with shrooms, nothing else I've done has compared to having seemingly concrete characters to interact with for hours.

Pretty interesting how they effect different people in different ways.

I seem to stay more lucid than most when I take them, even with higher doses. I’ve never had full on auditory or visual hallucinations.

I’ve had lots of uncontrollable laughter, everything I see gaining a kind of sharpness & depth the longer I look at them and the sense that everything you’re doing is an epic journey and adventure.

They also make me introspective and make it a lot easier to work through things that have been rolling around in the back of my mind. And the visuals I get when I close my eyes while on a trip are like falling gradually into a different dimension.

But one guy who took the same dosage & shrooms as me on one camping trip had an experience like you’re describing. He went over to the corner of our camp site and laughed maniacally for about 20 minutes or so while standing in front of a big rock, and then came back and told us he’d been having the most amazing conversation with the rock.

Yeah, you really need to know. You also have to be able to deal with the smell of shit.

Our group of friends had one guy that always freaked so he started getting really low doses. One time we couldn’t find him then heard a noise in the closet downstairs. We opened the door to find him vigorously shaking the vacuum hose thinking it was a snake. We just closed the door and moved on.

Yeah we were pricks back then too but remember, we were also tripping.
 
Here's a good shroom story.

We would do what we called pucks...basically shrooms in chocolate that looked like peanut butter cups.
...too much like peanut butter cups it turns out because one of our friends who was not really ready for it grabbed one out of the fridge and ate the whole thing before we could stop him.

We had been doing them all weekend so when he started feeling it (and he wasn't this kind of party-er) it we started fucking with him bad...talking more wrong than we already were, doing weird shit...
He goes and hides in a bedroom and phones a couple friends to get him, says he thinks we're going to kill him lol.

He'll never live it down.

Haha. Nahh, you weren’t pricks.

Whenever my group of friends has done shrooms with a newbie, we have a talk with them beforehand to explain that once we’re all high as balls, you’re essentially on your own, since no one’s going to be in any condition to help them out. And that if they feel like they’re freaking out, they’re best to stick with the group of us rather than wander off on our own.

One guy chose to ignore that advice and leave us behind at the campfire when his anxiety got the better of him to go wander into the woods and zip himself into his sleeping bag & hammock tent.

Not too long after that, we heard screams of “HELP!!! HELP!!!” echoing from the woods when he ended up too high to figure out how to escape his cocoon.

We all laughed hysterically and stayed by the camp fire.


...OK, so maybe you, me and your and my friends are pricks, come to think of it.

if you must simply eat them, diet pop works the best that I've tried to get them down.

best way is grind them up, then make peanut butter cracker sandwiches. foolproof. nutella will also work.
 
@LeafGm

This guy wasn’t a newb at the time though. It was the last time he ever got what we considered a full dose though.
We did implement a freak out recliner for novices. The rule was to just sit in that chair if you’re freaking out so you’re safe.

The real reason for the rest of us though was that we knew to stay away from the chair so our trip wouldn’t get ruined.

Yeah, maybe we were pricks.

Tea provides the quickest and imo the best saturation. Tastes awful so use an orange tea or some flavor but I’m telling you, boiling them, making the tea from the broth, drinking the tea then popping the remaining caps and you were good for a really long time.

+1

I started out consuming them the “mash them up in peanut butter” way, but for the past bunch of years I only ever brew tea with them.

Throw a couple of earl grey teabags in with them, and it’s not even too bad.
