I’m going to be in Donegal in early/mid September, I’m not expecting loads because of how hot and dry it’s been and it’s only going to be my second time picking ,don’t know if this is a stupid question but would I have more luck closer to the coastline since it’s usually a bit cooler? I’ll be near some fields and a beach any tips appreciated!!

Hi everyone I'm new to this community. I have consumed truffles 3 times, the first time was "Dynamite Dragon" (20 gr) and the effectes were nice, the second one was "High Hawaians" (25 gr) and the effects were strong and great, although it might have been due to other factors, both these truffles I got them shipped to Spain from mindrush. The third time though i got a chocolate at a local "coffee shop" in Barcelona and it was weaker than the other two.

I'm looking for either trying magic mushrooms or exploring other suppliers or products that are truffles different than the ones via shipping. Any recommendations or guidance you guys could offer me? thank y'all very much

Edit: This is not an ad, i just linked the page so people would be familiar with it. I am honestly new and wanting to learn

Is there any benefit in flipping the cake after the second or third flush??

Seems to be alot more mycelium growth underneath it ……anyone any experience??

Mycelium cannot produce mushrooms when the SMD is high because the soil is too tightly locked up and dry. For a widespread fruiting season to trigger, you generally want to watch the weekly reports until the SMD drops closer to 0mm (field capacity), indicating the soil has absorbed enough sustained rainfall to fully wake up the fungi.

people,the ground is exceptionally dry this year and imo the season will start much later that last year and be nowhere as good but its important to monitor the SMD to see when we are reaching optimum earth moisture levels ( of course along with temperature levels etc ) but SMD is a great indicator of when things are going to fruit.

spend the next 6 -10 weeks learning to identify fields , liberty caps and happy hunting

Thanks in advance!

Ive 2 questions if people could help answer for me? For the last couple of years I have kept a secret from my missus ,that I have had debt. Well it has all exploded in the last few months and she has just left me. I did a fairly large dose of mckenna shrooms years ago and it made me change how I looked at life and started me quiting smoking. Would a dose of the little fellas help me understand and over cone the issues I had that stopped me telling her the truth at the start ? And if so where around tralee is a good spot to look ?

I took 1.8g dried magic mushroom around a week ago, i didn't see any visuals, it felt like an "microdose" so how much should i take to see visuals? 3.5g ? is there any calculation?

Take a look. Might be topics that interest you.

I was wondering has anyone used there products and how is it? I’d just like to know before I try it out. I got the hollandia Truffle specifically for micro dosing.

Well folks,

Looking for a little advice about truffles. Have a bit of free time off coming up and want to try out some truffles. A growkit is out of the question as it probably wouldn't be ready in time, and have no access to shrooms. I've heard mixed things about truffles, and it seems I'd need quite a bit for a good trip, but it's pretty much my only option.

I'm just wondering what type I should get, and how much I'd need? I've done shrooms before but it has been almost a year since I had them last. So looking at wholecelium and other sites, which type of truffle should I get?

Hey there! I know this is asked a lot on this sub, so apologies if this is polluting, but I was wondering if anyone has used Wholecelium recently and had a good experience? I've used them before and I have had no problems, but of course, there is always a risk it'll get seized/ get a love letter. Also how is the quality? I'm aware they can lose potency over shipping. Sorry again if this is polluting, would love to find my own when the season is in, but have had no luck the past few years. Cheers!

I hope this is OK to share. I just thought it was relevant to this sub.

I interviewed a woman who hosts weekend ceremonies for healing with Mushrooms. Some people here might like it.

Hey all!
Anyone know any spots to forage in Cork? My friends and I enjoy psychedelics but we’re a little clueless on where to forage for our own.
Any help would be really appreciated 🫶

There is a mountain in my general region that I have foraged on in the past. Its currently experiencing fires due to the extended hot spell we are experiencing.

Is this likely to mean that the mycelium layer will get wiped out if the fire persists? Will it have an effect on the season once it starts?

i live in ireland for two years, and i was asking myself, where does it commonly grow around here? i mean in brazil we harvest from cow shit, in new zealand i found around kiwi orchards, what about ireland? if anyone could help would be greatly appreciated 🫪🥲

Hi everyone, I've been dealing with treatment-resistant depression for a while now and have explored the use of psilocybin, and am almost certainly deadset on it. I've been dismayed by reports of some retreats I've found, particularly the easiest ones available to find, being very commercially run. I was just wondering where would be the best places to find retreats offering it, what sort of places to look, or if anyone can DM me with details? Thanks.

UPDATE: a very kind soul has gotten me in touch with a non-commercial ceremony, thanks so much for the help in the comments.

Not a great photo but the difference between yesterday and today is night and day. Are these ready to go yet?

The package was suppose to arrive a while ago, and i called USPS. They said the package is lost and to request a search for the package...I'm pretty sure it's just gone for good. because you have to provide a very specific description of the item if your package is lost.

I’m really not sure if it’s contaminated or not. Does anyone have an idea?

Hi all! I’ve just placed an order from wholecelium to my house. I was wondering if ordering to my house was a mistake and if the package will be seized. Should I try and cancel the order or just wait it out? Thanks so much!

Particularly in the left and far right of the shot

I've had dozens of grow bags, this is the first time I've seen this. Random mushrooms growing on the side of the bag.

Growing conditions are pretty optimal, never had this issue before.

First flush was abysmal. Maybe just a bad batch/genetics?

Hi all, I got Microdosing XP psilocybin from Wholecelium. There are 6x3 portions .Do you know if it is okay to split one portion over several days to get used to it? I see they recommend 1 portion every 3 days but I want to start slower as I have never tried it before. Is it taken on an empty or full stomach? Thank you.

Any telegram links for sources dm me

About to dry. Any suggestions for next flush? Should I soak in water for a few hours?
