    Few weeks ago I read up on A. Muscaria, picked up a couple in a local forest, decarboxydized them in an oven and drank tea with 4g of (poorly) dried mushroom. 3 days before sleep.

    Holy mother of fungi, it’s like having an antidepressant that, you know, works. Deep sleep duration increased from 10 to 19%. Walking up in the morning felt normal. Weed consumption dropped roughly by half.

    Only after three evenings, effects are felt four days after, although waining.

    I’m just a noise on the Internet, my words are worth nothing. But read up on the mushroom, it’s definitely something different from what people think it is.

      Hope you addressed that to people in general.

      I’ve dried and made tee as well. Was rather soft. But it’s very hard experimenting when you’ve no idea of potency or dosages. For me at least, even though I tried getting a good buzz and drank quite a large dose, the effects were rather mild. Noticeable and pleasant, but not too strong.

      At least for one there was not a similar sort of anxiety liberty caps give. They are really potent though, so it’s a bit different.

      I might collect an amanita or two actually not that they should be somewhat in season. Although I might be late already.

        … it’s very hard experimenting when you’ve no idea of potency or dosages.

        This.

        Fun thing I bumped into a few weeks ago: the guy who’s credited with inventing LSD tried a bit to see how it worked and how it felt. But he had no idea just how ridiculously potent LSD is. I forgot the exact numbers, but I do recall the ballpark. So he had a Fermi-estimated 100 μg while he only needed like 10 μg for a good time, so not only did he have the first known LSD trip, he had the first known bad trip.
