Other - Mushroom Shake (Dust, Powder at Bottom of Bag)

[kind buds]

Swim may have picked up a bag of mushies very recently and on top of what he payed for, he was given 3 grams of chafe. What is the best way for SWIM to effectivly use said powder? Also, swim heard that taking powder is more intense, but has a smaller duration. Is there any way to use this powder to achieve the effects of eating whole mushrooms, or is SWIM stuck with a short trip when he/her decides to use it?

sorry, what is chafe?

[JDreaming]

He's talking about powdery pieces of mushrooms from the bottom of the bag... mushroom dust. It's impossible to tell how much active material is in that stuff, could be very strong or very weak... but since it contains the same active chemicals it should provide a similar kind of experience. Sometimes people mix the dust with honey or some other thick liquid and eat it or somesuch...

All I can say about that dust is that your friend will know what effect it has when he tries some... and he would be wise to try a very small amount to start. I have no scientific data on the difference in effect but most people will tell you that chafe is pretty strong.

Ah, ok...the 2nd time my cat experienced shrooms was with that dust...it was an uncomfortable experience for her but only because of circumstances surrounding it..but from that my guess is that it is potent, just not able to compare to potency of actual mushrooms. Btw my cat mixed it with mac & cheese, which was disgusting

[ianzombie]

it would depend on what it is i would think. if it is just ground shrooms, or small pieces of shrooms that were left at the bottom of the bag then it cant possibly be any stronger than the shrooms themselves.
it could also contain particles of verm or any other substrate or casing that has simply fallen off and collected.

if someone thinks it can be in any way stronger, gram for gram, than the shrooms that it was sold with, assuming it came from the same batch, then i would realy love to know how? as i would love to give this info to SWIM so they can turn their usuall shrooms into 'chafe' and enjoy the benefits

I picked up an 1/8 from my friend. I had bought a G from him about a week ago to test the waters out, as I'm brand new to shrooming. The G I bought from him was caps and stems. This time, he only was able to bag me an 1/8 of shake, with a few odd parts in there too. It's an 1/8, he weighed it out for me, but what I was really wondering was:

Will eating an 1/8 of shake be as potent as eating an 1/8 of caps and stems?

Thanks in advance!

Well you must be talking about legal mushrooms that people use for medicinal purposes. Yes there would most likley be no difference in potency. But if you are talking about illegal mushrooms you really need to read the rules. But if SWIy had magic mushrooms I think there would be little difference.

Suggest you read the rules of posting to avoid future problems.

[tetsix]

Yes, they are legal - my buddy wanted to see if the legal alternatives were actually worth a penny. On the subject of illegal mushroom discussion being against the rules - I agreed I wouldn't do it when I signed up, thus I understand and respect them. Perhaps I should have made it a bit more clear that I'm referring to legal alternatives, though I'm in a bit of a rush today. My apologizes, and I'll be clearer in the future.

Not to beat a dead horse but discussing even legal "alternative high" mushrooms is against the rules if you say you took them. Because they may be illegal somewhere. If I understand the rules I have found that to avoid confusion it is better not to self incriminate in all cases. Always use Swim, in a dream, my cat ect...

And incidently I do not know of any mushrooms other than psilopsibin mushrooms that will get SWIy high at a dose of 1 g. What are these "alternative" mushrooms?

[Samadhi]

Swim has found that shake makes for a gassier trip with a harder stomach body load.

We're happy to discuss psilocybin mushrooms here. In fact, you are encouraged to be a clear as possible regarding which substance(s) you are asking about.

What is not welcome is to write your post in a manner which incriminates you. Your post could easily be reworded so as to be both clear and non-incriminating.

All parts of psilocybin mushrooms contain roughly the same amount of active alkaloids, so the answer to this question is yes.

SWIMS tree had a question.

The tree had some shrooms sitting around for months on end in a bag. Kept inside but no special extra care taken. They were dry to begin with.

The tree finally took them out of storage recently and there is a lot of powdery stuff in the bag.... is the the active ingredient?

or is it just junk? Does SWIY think they have lost potency?

Thanks!

[Greenport]

They could be spores. What color are they? Look under different amounts of light too...most psilocybe spores are blackish purple, it's a rather pretty color

The active ingredient should still be contained within the fungal matter, though some psilocin may have become oxidized (noted by excessive bruising.) Psilocybin is protected from this oxidation by a phosphate group on the 4-position and therefore remains longer.

Don't eat mushrooms that appear rotten, however. Doing so may be dangerous. As usual know swiY's mushrooms - know what swiY has...every one of em.

The etherlectricpenguin told me about two stories of lost and found mushies.

S/he found a few that had escaped about 6 -7 months after the end of the season,, under a radiator to boot. One would have thought this would have killed the active content......but s/he reported a nice time (not brilliant) but a good reminder, from just 5 liberty caps!

Another time around fifty or so where found on top of a cupboard whilst moving out of the house. S/he remembered putting them there around 9 months prior, uncovered on a plate, hence covered in dust. S/he blew the dust off and powdered them onto a pizza. A nice time was had, not as strong as fifty fresher shrooms, but a bonus non the less, an appetiser for the then soon to start next season!

Enjoy, but like greenport stated, check they are what you think they are. If in doubt, ditch and wait for the next season.

just an update.... SWIM used the said shrooms. They are A-OK!

also the stuff that was left at the bottom of the bag was potent and good. SWIM boiled it up into a tea, it was an EXCELLENT trip.

[Smirnoff]

they also might have just been crushed caps... it happened to swim's shrooms once.. he kept the shrooms in a bag for 3 weeks at darkness and after 3 weeks, the caps were so dried out that they became powder... it its what happenned to you the powder must have been the more potent part of your bag
