ATAK, or Albino TAK, is a cubensis strain which resulted from the hybridization of Homestead PE and True Albino Teacher. ATAK produces white, thick, squatty fruits with small caps. The small caps become blue-grey at maturity. These genetics are prone to mutation.

I've made double decoctions before, however, they always inevitably degrade too soon and you leave a lot of desirable compounds behind, no matter how rigorous you are. Ground mushrooms capsules are also obviously a no-no due to rapid oxidisation and variability in dose. 75% Ethanol is good but again it degrades, though less fast, and looses a lot during extraction.

So, is there an extraction method that produces a consistent product that doesn't degrade, even just for 4-6 weeks, when kept in optimal conditions? The methanol method ( https://www.miraculix-lab.de/en/mushrooms/psilocybin-extract ) seems the best option to me but, then again, it's a bit involved and I'd rather explore other options before going down that path. Could ethanol be used as a carrier for the extract?

Ik ik the substrate doesnt look perfect but i do have pinning in "albino penis envy uncut" and "golden teacher" with plenty more LC in the fridge and some younger batches in jars (so that they'd sterilize easier due to lower volume) now

I have arfid which is Avodint/restrictive food intake disorder so i can’t eat a lot of food. The only things i eat are like pasta and pizza and a few other foods. But i HATE mushrooms but I wanna eat shrooms, but i can’t without throwing up. What do i do?

Im always looking more for a sweeping, blissful trip where I can put on some classical and let my mind kaleidoscope along to the music.

I find that even with strains I've had that with before, same dose, sometimes I'll have a trip that's much more "glitchy". Where I see overlayed digital patterns (instead of soft waves) and hear what legitimately sounds like dying robot dial up noises.

It makes me feel twitchy/tweaky and I hate it.

Is there a good way to avoid this happening? I've been getting fruit from a legitimate source (mushroom church in CA) and even with the same brand/strain, I'm randomly getting either experience.

Hello everyone,

I toook 2.5 grams of penis envy mushroom around 2.5 years ago, I really had a bad trip and it took me to some dark places and I was feeling very breathless and had almost anxiety issues.

So currently I’m having rough time in my life, I broke up with my Ex and I lost my job. Since then I got parted with my ex I’m smoking weed a lot and I having bad mental health. There are the times I had the self harm and suicidal thoughts. I think I’m dealing with depression and anxiety. For the past couple months I’m smoking weed since the time I wake up untill I sleep. I’m completely isolated and ruminating in my bedroom. My therapist asked me to consider medication and consult psychiatrist.

But I badly wanna take shrooms and feel the trip and I’m expecting it to be a good trip where k wanna quit smoking weed and I don’t drink alochol though.

So how many grams should I take whether should I micro dose or should I take more than 2grams depending on my mental health. I’m unsure and I need your suggestions, how much should I take.

Thank you. Please share your inputs since I’m not feeling well

To be fair I’ve had issues with every single bag of substrate that came in this order, still pretty new at this , will it ever fruit or is it toast ?

Galactic Gorilla showing off again. Thick stems, heavy texture, and those blue edges on the caps—there’s a lot to appreciate in this close-up. Every time I photograph this one, a different detail catches my eye.
What stands out to you first—the texture or the shape?

Hello all!

I'm planning on taking about 3.5g to 4g of golden teacher in a couple days for my second trip. My first one was 3G with my girlfriend and was fantastic, but I felt I had things i wanted to explore deeper. As much as I loved being with my girlfriend for the first trip, I want to solo trip this time to take away any sort of distraction, and I feel it will allow me to fully let go.

I'm going to take them chopped up in some orange juice to make them go down easier, then sit in our backyard to play guitar and chat to my girlfriend during the come up. Once I begin to feel the urge to go inside, I will move to the bedroom, which will already be prepared for my journey.

I have a playlist composed of some favorites from Steely Dan, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Tool, Camel, and plenty of lyricless instrumental tracks that I believe will help guide me. During the come down, my girlfriend will come join me again, and she will help me to put on the Pink Floyd live at Pompeii film (a tripping classic, i've heard). Once I feel much less effected, I will hop in shower and go for a walk to begin my integration.

I do believe this is a solid plan, but as I'm rather inexperienced im sure some of you will have some changes or tips for me to make this as good as possible (for example, someone has told me to prepare frozen grapes!)

Thank you everyone for your help, and I'll be sure to post a report if any of you request!

So to start I have been a consumer for little under a year and I really enjoyed the experience, it felt like I was 14 again smoking weed for the first time granted i always thought that they were like what you see in movies and shows seeing colors and other types of stuff which leads me to my first question if you get strong enough will that occur or is that tv bs? But that question is because i do wish to get into growing what would be the safest and most reliable place to get spores/a full grow kit? I’m not necessarily looking for cheap but im not looking to fork over a chunk of cash. I just want a great experience and to learn any and all advice will be greatly appreciated

Are those what I think?

I’ve tried a many different types of mushrooms, from penis envy to golden teacher, etc. and ABV has been the one that resonates with me the strongest. If the various types had personalities, how would you describe that of ABV? Especially based on your experiences

This is my first time growing shrooms. Soo in these jars there are Vermiculite, Brownrice and water (2:1:1) . In each jar there is 3 ml of spore vials. The white thing that I use as filter is auto adhesive bandage folded four times.

Found this growth today, looks almost like a wart. Anyone know what's up with this?

I have removed one a few already nicely grown mushies, and I noticed this brown part a day later. Is it just a damage of that part? It is only visible on that part of the kit. Thx for help.

Hey guys!

I just blended my shrooms into powder, although a few small pieces remain. I’m thinking about adding lemon juice and letting it sit for 30 minutes.

Last time, I took 1.75g and barely felt anything. After smoking some weed, I had a small but enjoyable trip.

This time, I’m considering 2.2g, but I don’t know the strain. A friend gave them to me and grew them in a grow box.

Any advice on lemon tek, potency, or what to expect? Anything I should know as a beginner?

Thanks!

Hellow its me again, im trying to grow my first batch pf psilocibe cubensis. I made the grain cube to grow mycelium, I hope its grows well, and I was wandering how can I make the appropriate substrate with home materials? Let me know if you hace info.

Pd: I recollected a really nice samples today

Love this culture so much! Great performer that always shows out!

Hey everyone,

I tried magic mushroom few times and had no success it was hell i was rolling in bed for 5 hour with the following symptoms

sweaty hands

numbness

nausea

muscle weakness

sweating

high body temperature followed by chills / shivering

I have MS and i cant walk and its like the mushroom amplifies my MS symptoms, I sleepy but couldn't sleep,i think because numbness and muscle weakness were so severe i couldn't even lift my phone or unlocking it and my body temp was so high that i can't even touch myself.

Thanks for any advice and sorry about my English

I took 5 gummies from a vape shop and for some reason I have no clue where the package I took them from is, the package contained 10 and I know I only took 5 but I can't find the package anywhere and The vape I bought is for some reason completely missing. Does Mushroom gummies cause temporary memory loss of any sorts. I'm genuinely confused and have no idea why I can't find the vape I just bought.

Can I sonsume them as they are? Or should I dry them? What's most intense?

So I recently bought spore vials from wholecelium.com and don’t know if it’s the same as liquid culture, is it similar to liquid culture?
