Is that how you show that you’re in a Blue Oyster Cult?

With the wind, the sun and the rain

Until you forget to water it… then it’s just dust in the wind.

I have to admit it disturbs me a little since I just finished watching The Last of Us.

Spore lung is a thing. That one block is probably no worries but ventilation is always recommended when growing mushrooms.

luckylebron t1_jeezhqs wrote

Yep, I feel the same. I used to love forging and learning about different mushrooms but after show, I developed a bad case of trypophobia.

won't the spores spread everywhere in the house just waiting for the right conditions to sprout?

They do (based on experience). Best case those conditions never arise.

Cool. I’m growing mushrooms in my shower, but not on purpose.

husfrun t1_jee5ku6 wrote

Nice! If she's ever expanding - remember that inhaling spores in large quantities will irritate and possibly harm your lungs. Or just move them to a more ventilated place before the caps open.

Oooh! Tell her to watch Boomer Shroomer!

You’ll have Cubensis too!!

Grew cubensis in my apt. Back in college. Truly fascinating to watch mushrooms evolve. Still got my G2 spore prints stored away some 8 years later.

LOL that was the first thing I asked her -- if it would be possible if I got some :)

It’s possible. It’s also more fun!

rasta4eye OP t1_jed1ukm wrote

I've always had a rough time coming down the couple of times I've done them. I go to dark places and I'm 100% not like that in any other situation.

Maybe I'm doing them wrong, not taking the right amount, maybe I shouldn't drink with them. I dunno.

PM_YER_BOOTY t1_jed3g68 wrote

Shouldn't drink with them. My best times have been in nature with a buddy that is experienced.

somedankbuds t1_jedxict wrote

oof. Drinking and psychedelics are generally not a good idea. A beer or shot or two to help with nerves/anxiety sure but getting drunk and tripping can fucking suck bigtime

containedsun t1_jedelwm wrote

sometimes my comedowns are rough too. almost always when i’m idle (no one to talk to and not set up to do something else like paint or watch tv) so i end up pacing and breathing funny and weird stuff.

i notice this most when mixing , and when i’m just on shrooms alone i think the come down is easier but i also think i always end up mixing so it goes back to set/setting. have a calm place and something to do and preferably someone there who adds to chill vibes.

nature is 10000% the BEST place but make sure it’s a safe journey!!! wishing you well, mush love 🥰😎

DropIntelligentFacts t1_jedx6ug wrote

I wonder if that has anything to do with simple things like sugar or caffeine intake prior to shroom

Schnawsberry t1_jefdj52 wrote

I am willing to bet you are taking too much. Try like one cap and adjust from there

rasta4eye OP t1_jefxjpd wrote

Thanks! I think it was probably more than that.

Mushroom trips can be really difficult, especially if you overdo it and get ego death. That was quite unsettling.

Taking alcohol out may help. It can really bring out trauma and give you a chance to heal yourself. They’re using mushrooms in a clinical setting to help people through things like PTSD. There’s a Netflix documentary called changing your mind that shows what powerful tools for good psychedelics can be.

Exploring your consciousness can get weird and overwhelming. So if you’re with someone you trust in a place you feel safe and comfortable you’ll generally have a good time.

rasta4eye OP t1_jefycch wrote

Thank you. The first time i took them I got immense feelings of being a failure and disappointment to everyone I knew... Which is 100% not the way I normally am. I'm normally very self confident and proud of my accomplishments.

I appreciate your thoughtful response!

safeness t1_jefz69n wrote

Instead of therapy, I worked through most of my baggage with cannabis and introspection. Being present with my feelings and not shying away from difficult questions changed my life.

It’s certainly not for everyone, but it did help me.

Have a good rest of your day!

somedankbuds t1_jedxf4q wrote

Whhaaaat?!?! The comedown of psychedelics are the best part man! Especially when you've been tripping hard and are finally back to reality for the most part but you have this afterglow/body high feeling that lasts another day or so (esp if you took LSD). I love that shit, feels amazing.

Does that make your house smell strange? Like musty or mothballs?

rasta4eye OP t1_jeebhyg wrote

Nope. The bag smelled weird the first couple of days because it didn't have enough holes poked. Now it doesn't smell like anything.

Which kit do the magic mushrooms grow on?

Mysticpoisen t1_jefybtu wrote

They don't sell psilocybin kits or spores, but you can buy the spores legally elsewhere and use their sterilized grain substrate for inoculation. Or just do /r/unclebens tek.

hows it going? I've been wanting to try growing mushrooms as well, but I'm not sure if it's worth it.
