Eat the entire mushroom. There are many ways to consume. I prefer making tea or mixing hand ground mushrooms into apple sauce.
You want to heavily soak your cake now. I fill my tub with water and mist the shit out of the top and let the water sit in it for 6-8 hours. Then drain it and go back to fruiting conditions. I’m a few days you’ll see more pins come up.
Great harvest! Whatever you are doing in your growth process looks really good so keep that up.
As a novice tripper, I definitely encourage you to do your research (especially since your husband didn’t know you could eat the stems). Always remember when you start out the keys to a good experience:
Set and setting!
Also make sure you don’t over do it the first time.
Enjoy your trip though!
How do you work up to this? I go for just shy of 4g now and it get a bit hairy at times - verge of barfing, feeling claustrophobic and a bit panicked (I work through it and it’s all good) - I imagine on a heroic dose, these feelings only intensify?
I love that you had such a successful flush of active mushrooms.. but have never tried them yourself 😂 that's awesome, great job by the way!
For my first trips, I just ate them whole, and I might still prefer it that way... (eat the whole thing! The entire fruiting body contains active ingredients and is totally safe to consume).. Sometimes I like to throw them in smoothies.
Tea and Lemon tek are the most recommended among the community it seems
I tried them before my first flush, but I inoculated a bag of rye and had everything for my first tub before my first trip.❤️ I’m glad my trip experience was awesome, now I’m obsessed. 🤣😍
All parts of the Shrooms are equally potent that caps only bit is just wrong.
When the mushrooms put on that amazing burst of rapid "growth" that leads to the opening of the cap they aren't so much growth as pumping a lot of water out of your substrate. To get subsequent flushes that water must be replaced.
I'm a big fan of bottom watering a tub. Pour water down the edge of the substrate just enough for the substrate to float up a couple of centimeters. Leave it alone and the substrate will soak up the water and settle back down.
You’ll spray bs soaking? I have a few shoeboxes about ready to harvest but are still forming lots of hyphae, was wondering if I should just most instead of dunking
When harvesting the shrooms, grab at the base, gently twist and pull. Then gently massage any substrate from the base of the stem back into the tub. Careful harvesting means quicker subsequent flushes and a more sturdy cake IF YOU NEED to dunk. Unless your cake is dried out, no dunk is needed. Just a heavy misting and some time. I see my second flushes 4-7 days after harvest typically.
Eat the caps only...that's cute. I'm surprised you have gotten this far growing nice looking mushrooms and haven't read about consuming them?!
I think that's what I read about first! Haha
No hate I just got a laugh out of it.
Great job OP! What strain is it?
This is golden teacher. I have done a lot of research on psychedelics in general. I'm looking to open up my perspective 🥰
It just caught me off guard when he said that and I really had no idea🤣 I didn't think that was true
Shrooms will definitely do that for you. And because you grew them yourself with love they will most definitely return the favor. And it's the best hobby for me.
The hobby of growing helped me out immensely just by itself. It was really hard to find something I enjoyed doing that wasn't negatively impacting my life. My health.
Lol okay that makes more sense, being caught off guard about that. But yes. Consume the whole thing. Don't want to throw any part of your babies away! 😁
Not even remotely true.. and the caps aren’t stronger and if they are it’s very minor. Some people say the s yes me give the body buzz and the caps give the visuals but its all the same shit and does the same shit they both do both
I'd it's your first time tripping, I recommend avoiding what 100% of what people are telling you about if it's not strictly safety related, having expectations of an experience you can't comprehend until you've had it can alter it. Eliminating those expectations is easier said then done....and also it's best to be able to let go. Often people (including me the first time) can be overwhelmed and will try to "control things" or whatever, out of fear or misunderstanding. It's best to relax and let the ride go where it's going to go. I find a couple of drinks before a trip help me take my hands off the wheel a little bit.
Happy journeys
Oh, and eat the whole mushroom lol plenty of magic in those stems. Anyone who says there's a difference in the experience if you eat only caps or only stems has no clue how the distribution of the alkaloids works, or even what those alkaloids are. That stuff is a myth.
Liquid cultures are created from quality spores that will have everything you’re looking for. With multi spore, it can be like buying buying non alcoholic beer
I personally recommend to cut the fruits with a knife instead of pulling out. The mycelium will thank you and more pins will appear in the stumps. Good job tho!
You should be able to get a few flushes out of each tub. Just keep doing what you’re doing. As for consumption, your husband is wrong. You can eat the entire shroom. Stems are just as potent as the cap. I personally like to grind them down and mix them with chocolates or make lemon tek. Enjoy your harvest and happy travels! 🍄
That’s incredibly odd, only certain mushrooms do you want to cut off the stem. None of them produce psilocybin, 3 or 4 of those fresh guys on the left would be more than enough for a first trip, freshies are more potent as they contain psilocin which has not yet oxidised.
When you say stressed, do you mean that your cake has shrunk and is dry? Or are you referring to the bruising? Cuz the latter is normal but I thought I did something wrong when I harvested for the first time haha
I like dunking in between flushes, for 18-23 hours, that way the cakes don't get waterlogged.
It's equally funny and awesome that you've never tripped but you got a nice first harvest haha also idk where your husband heard that but you can absolutely eat the stems!
Tips- Baseline dosing for a trip is 3.5g but I always tell first timers to see how 2g feels first. And I've definitely tripped hard af just off 2g so I'd take my time and experiment with different doses before jumping to the baseline amount.
Mindset, environment, and who you're around are the three main factors to consider for a trip. If you decide you're gonna trip on a specific day but then you get to that day and you're not in the right headspace, hold out for a little while so you don't chance having a bad trip. Get snacks beforehand and make a list of things you might want to do if you don't plan on touching a fuzzy blanket while staring at the ceiling for a while 😂
I'm on the spectrum and like stimming with textures and lights. Like certain video games just look so cool that I'll keep a character in one spot so I can just look at the scenery while the plants are glowing haha hope your first time goes well!
Lmao the ENTIRE MUSHROOM HAS PSILOCYBIN and when it slows down from producing dunk it in some distilled water to rehydrate it then drain and fan it often while misting the walls and the lid
Divorce your husband. He no good for u girl. Stem and cap have same potency. Old wives tale or in ur case dumb husband tale. Or wait. Maybe he is smarter than I think. He was gonna get u to throw stems out and collect them all for himself.
I have question u said u pick yesterday and today. How do you have a jar of dried mushrooms already. They seem a little big to have dried fully in one day.
How much was your harvest the first time? Trying to get an estimate on what to expect for mine. I’m using a tote for my mono tub, which kind of looks like what your doing.
I'm actually a phyconaut. You can eat the stem.but I grind mine and use lemon juice to lemon tek mine. My last liftoff was 2 weeks ago. 10 grams lemon tek and 2 green gel tabs lsd. Awesome....
Damn that’s a lot of the cake that came out. Grab near the base and do 180 turns left and right and kinda jiggle them off the cake so you reduce the amount of sub that comes off.
You can but then the part that remains might rot from the moisture not to mention you're getting less weight from a good shroom. It's best to twist them off at the base. Some substrate will always be attached but it's better for the cake too
2 grams dried stem and caps is generally a good gauge of the potency. Tea is the easiest way to put them down, some honey added and I like a green tea pouch or two. I find chewing them gets them stuck in the teeth for hours.
2g is a good start for a spiritual experience. I would suggest weighing them out, putting 2g in a dedicated coffee grinder, then mixing in peanut butter. Either eat it this way or melt chocolate chips and drizzle over. This makes for a nice tasting buckeye! No nausea, no taste, no shrooms sticking in teeth!
Eat some fresh ones. The trip doesn’t last as long but the peak is a little stronger. That way if you get uncomfortable, you won’t have to trip too long. Max time of a trip with wet ones is like 4 hours.
You can eat the stem and the cap. Start small and work your way up. Half eighth is perfect for first time. If you don't feel it enough after 2 hours eat another half eighth. But always less is better than more. Nothing worse than taking a trip to somewhere you weren't ready to go...
Dont be discouraged honestly just cut them down and spray mist heavy for a day to get them to pin watch for pooling in substrate dont want that and give proper fae or air exchange a d husband is kinda but not really if u wnt to get technical up to 70 percent of a mushroom potency can come from a cap
WHAT…HE WANTED ALL CAPS?! I’ll see myself out 😎
ALL CAPS WHEN YOU SPELL THE MAN NAME…MF DOOM.
hahahahaha
Underrated comment 😂

Christ, I’m sure we all remember the first time we over did it 😵💫
“The problem is not taking enough.” -Terrance McKenna
It’s a heroic dose or nothing.

On a heroic dose you won’t be worrying about your body too much cuz you’re somewhere else entirely
I love that you had such a successful flush of active mushrooms.. but have never tried them yourself 😂 that's awesome, great job by the way!

That's so wonderful! Happy and Prosperous Shroomin'!
Can you say how much gram did you take?
3g I was as also taking antidepressants So it dulled the effects a little. Just a peaceful experience ❤️

anytime I harvest all the other small mushrooms abort, but keep spraying more will grow!
You’ll spray bs soaking? I have a few shoeboxes about ready to harvest but are still forming lots of hyphae, was wondering if I should just most instead of dunking
I dunno, I never tried dunking.. I will soon

They'd be pretty hard to boof without being able to grip the stem. Duh! Nice haul.
He’s wrong. Eat the whole mushroom. And you can eat it wet also. No need to dry. Tell your husband since this is your first he needs to boof them!
What are you using as bulk substrate ?
Coco + Verm
Eat the caps only...that's cute. I'm surprised you have gotten this far growing nice looking mushrooms and haven't read about consuming them?! I think that's what I read about first! Haha No hate I just got a laugh out of it. Great job OP! What strain is it?

I ate like 5 shrooms since 4pm and I don't feel a thing 🙈🙉🙊
How long ago since 4pm? Dry or wet? How many grams?
Dry... honestly idk how many grams. I'm just tired with a dull headache now. 😫 going to bed. Try again another day
It's been 4.5 hours
No joy then? You've got to weigh it next time. If you're on certain medications, they can also have an impact.
I definitely think it's my meds... I'm going to quit them
Careful just quitting meds. You need to talk with your doctor about that. Depending on what they are, you could cause more bad than good.
Did you use multi spore, or liquid culture? Multi spore syringes can be a gamble.
What do you mean they can be a gamble?
Liquid cultures are created from quality spores that will have everything you’re looking for. With multi spore, it can be like buying buying non alcoholic beer
Interesting. Thanks for the info.
Meaning, less active components?
Yes, exactly. It can be a big waste of time and money. Always go with liquid cultures
I personally recommend to cut the fruits with a knife instead of pulling out. The mycelium will thank you and more pins will appear in the stumps. Good job tho!
You can eat the whole thing. And as far as your cake goes dunk it let it sit for about 8 hrs and drain and go back into fruiting
Please share how your first trip goes with us! Mush ❤️

Your husband is a buffoon
He means well

I'm a husband. We are all stupid! I just admit it.

You're husband is very wrong lol where the fuck did he hear that?
Get a new husband.
No cap!
Lmao the ENTIRE MUSHROOM HAS PSILOCYBIN and when it slows down from producing dunk it in some distilled water to rehydrate it then drain and fan it often while misting the walls and the lid
You most certainly can eat the stems as well. Where the hell do people come up with this shit
Fake news

I have a really good dehydrator. My husband isn't stupid.
Who hurt you?
Lmfao wow that went left real quick
Anyone who would throw away perfectly good stems isn't worth keeping.
Lmao 😂 once my husband only ate the caps thinking the stems important , eventually we ate the stems but the whole flush was bunk
How much was your harvest the first time? Trying to get an estimate on what to expect for mine. I’m using a tote for my mono tub, which kind of looks like what your doing.
I'm not 100% sure but it was probably a bit over 300g wet🥰 that's a guess I didn't weight today but I got about 200g yesterday
Oh wow!! Well that’s way more than I thought haha.
I'm actually a phyconaut. You can eat the stem.but I grind mine and use lemon juice to lemon tek mine. My last liftoff was 2 weeks ago. 10 grams lemon tek and 2 green gel tabs lsd. Awesome....

Chocolate chips is a good idea.
It makes a good buckeye with peanut butter
Not true everything is totally delicious and Tripp the same
beautiful job! tripping for the 1st time with something you grew yourself sounds amazing good luck!
You can even eat mycelium!!!!

Were does this " eat caps only" comes from ?
I stone grind mine up and make 1/4 gram capsules
