Cant wait, has to be my favourite time of year. When do they usually come out in your areas? Round County Down where I am from it usually takes until about end of September til half way through October to start seeing them, doesnt stop me pacing the fields everyday from start of September though!!

Anybody have any interesting ways of taking them? I cant eat them without throwing up so usually make tea, but this has started to play havoc with my guts as well. I would love to find a way of taking them that doesnt mean I have to stay close to a toilet, cause the buzz of shrooms is the best ever but I’ve started weighing up the benefits of them against the crippling stomach cramps and urgent toilet visits. Any help please?

you know this! cant wait.

i usually take em in tea, but a rinse under the tap first is good for getting rid of the dirt and worm eggs that may be in and on them. the other good one is on pizza, chopped up fine and melted into the cheese. still slight waste of pizza tho. a mate of mine put some in brownies, which was ok, but again a waste of brownies, and that only worked cos they were a year old and basically dust.

note to randoms: do not boil your mushrooms in tea, it will destroy the active ingredient. some mate of mine fucked a load of my shrooms like that last summer. yay.

i’ve been picking as early as mid august in devon, but that was an exceptionally shit summer

if you’re getting runny bum or cramps it could be down to a couple of things

if the shrooms you’ve picked have been above ground for more than a few hours, they could be beginning to rot

one way to tell is if they are beginning to blacken. if you try to dry them out on a bit of newspaper and instead of getting paler in colour, they start to ‘sweat’ and get slimey, you can be sure they are a bit rotten.

it might seem like a shame to chuck them away, but it will save you the gut problems

happy shrooming

hmm – anyone here reckon the emergency depts are gonna get a few “shroom casualties” this autumn/winter because of prohibition?

the short-lived commercial market has created a larger demand for psilocybe mushrooms particularly amongst younger users

then people realise they grow in the UK

less-informed people (or those who not read globaloons good advice) may be more likely to pick incorrect (and potentially toxic) species of mushrooms, or eat stashes of questionable freshness, rather than fresh and correct specimens they could have got from a shop

but of course any casualties will only be used to say “told you they were dangerous” – more collateral damage / innocent casualties in the war on drugs….

ONE OF THE GUYS I BUY SHROOMS OFF HAS THEM MIXED IN CHOCOLATE. THEY’RE LIKE CHOCLATE BARS. BUT YOU DONT KNOW HOW MUCH YOUR GETTING SO U HAVE TO TRUST THEM OR DO IT YOURSELF. LATELY I’VE BEEN MIXING THEM WITH CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM. I JUST SWALLOW THE BITE WITHOUT CHEWING. THAT SEEMS TO WORK FOR ME CUZ I CANT HANDLE THM EITHER.

We take ours in capsules…

Put the dried mushrooms through a food processor so they turn to dust, buy some empty herbalist capsules from a well established auction website (that shall remain nameless) stuff them full of your ‘shrooms and Bobs your uncle!

Does anyone else do this?

a good way is to boil them in water, filter out the mushrooms, when its cooled down a bit, pour the water into a bottle and put it in the freezer for 40 mins. when its ice cold add 30% of ribena (or any) squash. – its much nicer than tea and you cant taste the mushrooms plus when its cold you can drink it fast but with tea you have to go through the torture of sipping it.

you could catch worms. mushrooms picked from feilds could contain fleas/maggots/worm eggs, when i was younger there wasnt anywhere that we could go for a brew so we used to eat them but now i’d always boil them up
