All Things Fungi! Mushrooms, Fungi, Psilocybin, Mycology... (1 Viewer)

I think we need to spend more time talking about this...controls the beginning of life, the end of life, the network for trees to communicate, they taste great, they make you feel funny and they take over the minds of insects. 

If you haven't seen Fantastic Fungi on Netflix...it's fantastic.

Having eaten mushrooms a few times, I am happy to see acceptance among the medical/therapeutic communities on the upswing.  

Very little reason for their criminalization.

I agree. I've gotten a lot of flak for this over the years, but I love them on my pizza.

 

[=Smackdown=]

Big fan of the fungi !

On pizza, steak and mushroom tea camping with friends.

Patiently waiting for Psilocybin Therapy to become available in the Pacific Northwest area, not sure where things stand after legalization... it's legal but no one is offering yet that I can see. Have some friends in the area eager to try with a legit therapist.

I loved shrooms. Unlike acid you can go to sleep. I’d like to take some and play some oculus quest games. 

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Not shrooms but I would love to experience ayahuasca.

Where are you? I have a friend in the Seattle area who is doing "guided journeys" using plant-based medicine including Psilocybin, DMT and mdma.

Never did them, but that was always my complaint with acid, could never turn my mind off and would be up for like 24-36 hours

Man I remember as a kid heading out to the cow pastures after the afternoon thunderstorms we have in FL everyday in the summer. Nothing like seeing those big old shrooms growing out of the cow poop . We would take them home boil them down and make gallons of mushroom tea. Trip our butts off for free. Sometimes I wonder how I ever survived my teenage years .

 

[Dwayne Hoover]

Prefer the adventures on Sidney but all of this stuff should be legal and most people should probably experience at least once in their lifetime.  Just to give a change in everyday perspective, feel like it helps way more than it hurts.  Everything in moderation though.

Cybs A/B salt Tek.  Extract the spice yourself.

No. Psilocybin therapy for mental illness requires a trained therapist to guide the journey. This isn't the "treat yourself but really just get high" kind of thing. 

 

[E-Z Glider]

I went foraging back in October with a GB of mine who is a naturalist. We found Hen of the Woods (maitake), chanterelles, cinnabars, honey mushrooms, lions mane, chicken of the woods, and old man of the woods.

Money shot

My favorite's are morels in the spring and maitakes in the fall. YUM!

What mental illness?  Depression?   

I don't think you give yourself enough credit.

Canada is ahead of the curve in a lot of things. They ain't all Loonies.

If anyone is interested in a fantastic reference book on the subject (and other mind altering substances), I highly recommend The Psychedelics Encyclopedia. I’m guessing some of the info is a bit outdated, but it’s an interesting book nonetheless. I actually used it as reference for a biochem class I took back in the day.

[Terminalxylem]

Never tried psychedelics, but looking forward to it, once my body starts to fail. No need to escape reality when healthy IMO.

On a loosely related note, the shuttle to Niseko, Japan stops at this random goumet grocery/cafe called Mushroom Kingdom. There’s like a bazillion different types of fungi for sale, though I’m not sure if any of them are psychoactive.

Any idea how much folks charge for this?

Talk to us about the push for legalization efforts on psilocybin. Could that happen in Oregon or Colorado?

Already has. Decriminalized and now legal. The first shops / guided experiences are starting to open.

Man, looks like The Journey is charging $138 for 3 grams worth of mushies plus an average of $1,500 in trip guiding at their facility. Nice business to be in.

We'll see how all that works out. I would imagine there is no margin on the product and this all for the monitored services and cost of location. Can't imagine what the licenses cost, insurance...we'll see if these places can make any money.
