All things shrooms

I cannot say for certain but the info provided by @Observer makes absolute sense to me… im not sure if the lectin will help like it may with cannabinoids but definitely food for thought

Thank you @ninjadip for bringing this up. Definitely something im going to test out and look into
If testing is involved, look into unprocessed/unrefined cocoa.

I've read that the processed stuff is absent of MAOIs. Of course I can't verify one way or the other. I know I used processed chocolate and felt the synergy. Going to add some raw cocoa next time to see if any difference.

Interaction between MAOIs and Psilocybin​


Both MAOIs (Monoamine oxidase inhibitors) found in cocoa and psilocybin interact with the brain's serotonergic system, although in different ways. This interaction can lead to potentially dangerous side effects, including serotonin syndrome.


MAOIs:
  • Found naturally in some foods, including cocoa beans, aged cheeses, fermented soy products, and some alcoholic beverages.
  • Function by blocking the enzyme monoamine oxidase, which breaks down monoamine neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.
  • This increased presence of monoamines can lead to significant mood and energy changes.

Psilocybin:
  • The psychoactive compound found in "magic mushrooms."
  • Works by mimicking the effects of serotonin on 5-HT2A receptors in the brain, leading to altered perceptions, hallucinations, and other psychedelic effects.
Interaction:
  • MAOIs prevent the breakdown of psilocybin, leading to higher concentrations of the drug in the brain and potentially intensifying its effects.
  • This increased activity can lead to:
    • Serotonin syndrome: a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by symptoms like high fever, muscle rigidity, rapid heart rate, and confusion.
    • Increased risk of other side effects like anxiety, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness.

Oh this is AI, "need to fact check data" lol

J/k
 
185grams of Brown Rice
156grams of 0ppm Water.

Attempt #3? #4? Of "pasteurizing" a jar for innoculation.

All the way Live, what is going on here? I took mushrooms, a 1/2 hit of 4 way LSD. So I missed a Dark chocolate boost? SS stoned!!
 
4 way hits of window pane, orange barrel, chocolate mescline, purple micro dot. Legit tripper SS,
Probably not even gonna feel the mushrooms after that haha. That's a legit trip alright. Windowpane was my favourite back in the 90's. Drove through a hurricane on a causeway high as balls on it once while listening to one of the greatest tripping songs ever written.

I didn't do them all together, lol.SS grower
 
Have any of you guys made the mushroom goo? It's kinda like a weed concentrate? Looks like a tootsie roll.i think it's done with ethnol or water. My buddy had some a few summers ago just a little tiny bit mabey half the size of a pea caught me a crazy good high super clean . I tried making some ,it turned out but wasn't as potent. I Only tried makein it once i was thinking about trying to make it again .mabey I used to much heat when I evaped the alchol off I'm not sure.
 
Haven’t tried but you must also take it into account how quickly these compounds break down from heat, oxidation etc. imo the best way to preserve them is by drying and protecting from oxidation

ya he had to keep it in the fridge.it stayed good all year. Didn't get any of the negative body effects that you sometimes get from eating a bunch of shrooms. They upset my stomach sometimes if I eat over a few grams. With that goo it was a clean smooth sailing buzz. I'm thinking I got it to hot during the extraction process. It looked and tasted right just not as potent as what my buddy had.
 
It's been a while since I have given a good update so here it goes.

First off, my wife and I decided to delay our Fall/Winter grow this year. We have an abundance of flower in the house. It's a bit of everything I have grown over the last 2 years. Even the older stuff is still good despite it's age ...

So for now, I'm doing my best to look like a home hobby mycologist. I've got some psilocybe natalensis that are just beginning to fruit. I've had some struggles with my equipment which has allowed things to dry out and has slowed the process down. My opinion on AC Infinity products has take a huge hit. I've had a lot better luck using my older WiFi Inkbird controller.

One thing I've been doing since the middle of the summer is making a liquid culture of all my genetics when I purchase them. This makes a 10 ml spore or liquid culture syringe into an almost unlimited supply. I store the cultures in the refrigerator when not in use.

I'm currently waiting on a batch of agar plates and I'll begin keeping a plate for each strain I run. I'm also waiting for the following to arrive:

– Pans Cyan Estero 10ml Research Syringe
– Pearly Gates 10ml Research Syringe
– Hillbilly 10ml Research Syringe
– Ghost 10ml Research Syringe
– Penis Envy 10ml Research Syringe

I'm also making up my own spawn grain bags/jars. I'm also making my own coco based substrate mix.

So far, it seems like my extra large insta-pot has been up to the task of steam sterilization. The only drawback is I can only fit 4 quart jars in it at a time.
jesus man i gotta catch up on my knowledge here
 
Have you tried your extraction yet? If so, how did it go? What was the full process you used?
unfortunately, i can not claim ingenuinty on that one.

i have tried it

MiG, this is one of the ways to go.

no "hang-over", its activated within 15 minutes~, no uncomfortable stomach from digesting fruiting bodies.....

STRONG


a literal psilocybin extract, they called it a "full spectrum" , basically similar concept as RSO, or full spectrum cannabis extracts?

i will figure it out and let ya know.

Water soluble is your friend with cubensis. Pretty easy to make an extract. What is your process?

4-14 grams of any Psilo-Mushroom variant
limes, oranges, lemons for the Citric Acid , Psilocybin > Psilocin = Shorter/Intense Trips = dosage amount
Coffee Grinder, Coffee filter parachute it in COLD WATER (CWE) 15-30 minutes set/stir

filter any particles out and consume, 4-8 cups of water for 4-14 grams, a more concentrated Extract.

and 15~ minutes later, effects are on.


this Methanol wash/extraction was/is so much better, seemed "pure" af.

no "hang-over", no uncomfortable gut feeling.
 
I tried Ethanol and vodka.both worked but the vodka a little bettet.i think it's the extra water that helped.i lost potency somewhere im thinking evape temps got to high.
ill have to try it

i want to get a short path distillation kit too, rotoevap, all that cool good stuff.

i am loving chemistry soo much.


gotta catch up my knowledge on a few things
 
All it takes for a MD

Dissolves basically in a few minutes.
Hit me under 20~

Definitely mushrooms, not some other chemical/extract

Smell taste and feelings 10/10 match

Pretty fucking neat, this will be my go to once learning how to make it.

This extraction method #1
CWE #2

Looks like some "concentrates" smells like "shrooms"
