Ancient hunters would microdose to help them pick up movement against the flowing swirling living world around them, as revealed by taking shrooms. Not too much of course but you can learn a fine balance with practice. Try microdosing and looking at trees, grasslands, bushes. They'll dance for you and you'll easily spot an out of place animal moving through. Look at good camo patterns like the Vietnam tiger stripes and they'll dance for you too.

Hiking also just gets the blood moving and will ensure you burn through a good dose and get the best out of it.';

'>>2725601
This is all hypothetical/guess work. There's no evidence of this actually being true. From personal experience, mushrooms make EVERYTHING move. Even at doses as low as half a gram. Micro dosing doesn't enhance your vision either. If you take too much and start to get some effect, colors are brighter, but I wouldn't say things were sharper.';

>EVERYTHING moves
If it has a grain, it flows. The whole world breathes. It's a wonderful experience, but I don't see it helping me hunt.';

'>>2725666
I don't know where to get them in my country';

'>>2725675
As a general rule, I've found this to be true in every country I've visited.. Ask your bartender. Not the first time you meet, he'll think you're a snitch. Get to know them a little, tip well. Hopefully you've already got a bartender like that.
They're also pretty easy to grow yourself. All you need is brown rice flour, vermiculite, pint mason jars, a pressure cooker and some spores. You can buy spores online just about anywhere in the world. They're legal to buy and own, it's only illegal to germinate them. You can get everything else on amazon. For local, rice flour and mason jars can be found at grocery stores. Vermiculite can be found at garden centers. Make sure it's just vermiculite not with any fertilizers added. pressure cooker can be found anywhere you can buy pots and pans. The only thing you'll have to source online is the spores. I'd say you can also find those locally, but then you'd already have a mushroom source.';

'>>2725675
just grow them, it'll be a fun project and buying the spores is legal basically anywhere. For an easy tutorial on what the other anon is talking about google "shroomery bod's easy af tek" (I suggest using the shoebox method)';

Now this looks promising, I have seen some listing of spores on fb so I might as well give it a shot';

'>>2725681
Growing shrooms is fantastically easy, just do the research (which is freely accessible).
Foraging shrooms is also very easy if you're in a place where they grow and aren't dumb enough to eat something without identifying it first.';

I don't suggest doing this at night. I learned this the hard way.';

'sounds cool but I would probably die if I was alone
i dont think I could operate a map or memorize landmarks while insanely high

No, they effect your serotonin receptors. If you think you're a fucking jedi it's not the mushrooms. I'd bet everyone around you are laughing at you acting like a retard.';

This. The only thing druggies are good for is laughing at when they start going on about "muh connection to the oonivoors"';

'ive never done them myself, but, i have a friend who is pretty into drugs (softer ones, not like heroin)
and she figured out i was a pretty outdoorsy guy who frequently picks plants and mushrooms, so i showed her were i usually see them
she is a good friend';

>>2725641
either I overestimate how much a shroom weighs, or I'm getting some weak ones. Have to eat like a full stalk + cap to even start getting visuals';

'>>2727298
Depending on the size of the mushroom, you're probably getting about half a gram to a gram or so. Which is typically the minimum dose for visuals. Depending on what you want to achieve, half a gram to a gram is mildly visual. 2-3g will give a much more visual experience. +3g is usually a full on trip. This is all based on average cubes. If you have stronger cubes like PE or TAT, or another species, this will change that scale.';

'>>2727328
interesting, ty anon.
Definitely weren't PE, need to ask my friend who grew them what they were. Probably something bog standard.
I feel like the body high is already so significant by the time I get visuals that taking much more would make me sick

I'll get around to buying a scale someday';

'>>2727298
Worth noting: partake on a relatively empty stomach for best results. Eat a very light meal and plenty of water on the day or night you're shrooming. That should help.';

'>>2727344
They're like $10 on Amazon. Add another $10 for a cheap coffee grinder. Weigh your desired dose, then grind your shrooms and put them into a small glass. Add just enough lemon juice to cover, and stir to make sure there are no dry pockets. Let that sit for 20-30min and then shoot it. Add a little water to the glass to chase the lemon juice and get most of the remaining mushroom. That will speed up the release of psilocybin. You should start feeling it within 15-20 minutes and expect to peak right around 1 hour. Usually lasts a bit less, only 2-3 hours. But it's less come up anxiety because you come up so quickly. And I generally find it to be a bit more intense.

You can also grind and add to melted chocolate, I like 70% dark. The chocolate covers the mushroom flavor and you get an extra dose of endorphins.';

'>>2727629
Do your Lemon TEK, but increase your mushroom dose to account for losses and then strain out the mushroom material completely. Then you just have a liquid

I make mine into lemonade and drink it';

'I'm not against the idea but this sounds like a good way to get into a fatal accident if you live in the mountains like I do';

>+3gram for full trip
I take six of golden teacher and get some visuals, 5g of albino and I get some visuals. If I want to trip I need 10g, I need to make tea out of it too.';

'>>2727943
I rarely take it too or other substances too, so it's not a tolerance thing.';

'>>2727943
Are you on a serotonin re-uptake inhibitor? Psilocin binds to serotonin receptors, anti depressants stop the break down of serotonin, so there's more free to bind with receptors, which will make them less available to psilocin. You shouldn't need 5-10g of any cube, even weak ones, unless they've been improperly stored. moisture and light will break down psilocybin and psilocin. They should be cracker dry, break easily when bent. If they're soft or there's any flexibility, they're not dry enough and you're losing active compounds. Store them in glass or mylar with a desiccant packet. Never store them in the fridge or freezer. If none of that applies to you, I'm at a loss.';

I took 7g of normal, dried cubes last week (without being on SSRIs)

It was not as immersive as I would have liked - 10g is coming this weekend.';

'Did anyone ever find them in the wild?
Supposedly they grow in cow pats and grazed pastures, but I have walked in that kind of environment for decades and never seen them.

I know so much about identification, but just never seen them.

'>>2731030
The only Psilocybe I have any hope of finding in the wild in my region is P. caeruleorhiza nom. prov. and I don't know if I could spot it if I saw it.

I've found a few Panaeolus cinctulus in my yard but not enough. I've found Gymnopilus luteofolius but they're too bitter for me. I may have found Pluteus americanus but they're identical to cervinus and don't really bruise so who knows.

Luckily, I have found Psilocybe cubensis in a plastic container in my basement, no idea how they got there.';

'>>2731030
>>2731310
I've also found Gymnopilus luteofolius. I did not harvest them because they're said to be weak and bitter. I grow my one cubes, so to me they were just a neat find. I know there are liberty caps and a couple panaeolus growing in the mountains around here, but I've never found any.';

I can't say that they're even close to the same. I thought it was impossible to have a bad trip on dissociatives.
Anyways, there's no such thing as a bad mushroom trip.
When you finally can grasp eternity and you see that you are the creation and creator all at once, you're going to freak out.
You will have no desire to trip ever again.
The whole tripsitter thing is a meme. Their presence acts as external stimuli that knocks you out of your rabbit hole like dynamite.

I've found them before because I had a friend who I went with to learn what to look for. Here in the UK there aren't really any "tragic" mushrooms that you could mistake for magics, so it's no worries. The few species that look similar to them seem to be harmless, but also emit a different (non-edible) smell so even if you accidentally pick them, you later realise that they useless.

I'm currently buying a pack (and stuff to put in it) so that I can get out there soon and enjoy some solitude. This thread has reminded me that I can (and will, hopefully) find a rich bounty of soul food along my travels.

I don't know about other places but here, there are areas that are covered with magic mushrooms. I've seen moorlands that were just littered with them, and I've personally picked them in AUGUST, on a hot sunny day, so I don't listen to people who claim that they don't grow in summer. I walked over a busy-ish dog walking area and got a full pocket of them much to the confusion/amusement of the regular who saw me walking around staring closely at the ground.';

'>>2731647
I am always cautious with substances (apart from weed), so I just take a little bit when alone. Then once you are comfortable you can take more.

Like with any drug, start off small and then 30 minutes later, take more if you wish. That way you don't suddenly wonder why an elf (your cat) keeps scratching your face every time you try to shake its hand.vvjrs';

'They're apparently common here but I've never seen them. Every time I think about enhancing a hike with shrooms I realize I just want to do a low thc edible instead though.
