I am here to ask you guys one question about shrooms. Should I try them or not? Here is my situation:
-I live in the US, so they are illegal (this does not bother me)
-I have been smoking/using marijuana for several years now
-I don't have a reliable source - this is what bothers me.. my friend says he "knows how to pick them", although I am not sure to trust him or not for health reasons.
-I want to make sure that I won't be harming my body when I do this (Mainly I want to make sure it isn't going to kill me)
-I really would enjoy trying shrooms at least once, of course without harming myself.
Shrooms - Worth it Or Not?
Best thing about magic mushroooms is that they are free and you can get a really great buzz from them. If your friend knows what these particular mushrooms look like then you should probably go with his advice and try them.
There is a fine line between a good trip and a bad trip and most of it is down to the mood you are in before you actually take the mushrooms.
Sad or angry? Don't do it.
The people you are with at the time and the place you are in can also have an effect.
Everything has to be just right.

i was talking to this guy at a party during winter break. he was telling me he found LOADS of them in this park about 15 minutes away. he later weighed the total batch at like 200 grams. he ate about an eighths worth (3.5 grams). he tripped pretty hard. the next day his side started hurting him. he went to the doctor and the doc told him he got some type of liver poisoning? shit was wild, he still feels sharp pains. i guess the point is do a shitload of research beforehand. take pictures with you when you go get em
Can not resist.............
You present the proverbially mixed bag of issues.
Some people really are experts at picking mushrooms, and I have, and will, trust those people with my life and my liver. They typically have a very serious, illustrated, well-worn, mushroom guide in one hand, and a magnifying glass in the other hand. Any mushroom that there is even the slightest bit of doubt about is left alone or tossed.
As others have mentioned, your mood and surroundings are ultra-important.
My preferences include: prepping the night before by not over-indulging in food or drink - getting a good night of sleep - eating a very light, but nutritious breakfast - relaxing for the next five hours - then eating the mushrooms - I would rather be outdoors, than indoors for the duration - I prefer to be alone, or with people that are not prone to negativity or panic.
If you happen to be near some Californian or Oregon cow pastures, then you are at least in one of the most likely environments for finding the right mushrooms.
Again, this is a real tricky subject, and I hesitated to comment at all - because on the one hand you could have a really great time, and on the other hand, you could need a rather immediate liver transplant.
All, that said, I have survived some 30 plus years of indulging in mushrooms. But that is me, your experience could be completely different.

Mushrooms (like any other drug or other intoxicating substance) can indeed affect different people in different ways and I would definitely have some pictures handy if I was gonna be taking some. That liver poisoning story does sound crazy but I imagine that you should probably wash the mushrooms (like any other fruit or vegetable) before consuming them in order to lower the chances of some sort of infection afterwards.
The pre packaged mushrooms sold in Amsterdam I would think would be a lot safer than going round picking them out of the ground, but there are books out there (surely) about these types of plants and what they look like.

DO NOT EAT ANY MUSHROOMS THAT DON SQUEEZE BLUE, THEY CAN KILL YOU. If I had a skull and crossbones I would use it. I have ate bad shrooms before and I was sick for two days, had very hot flashes and passed out from them twice. If they squeeze blue go for it, otherwise dont eat them. You can get trip shrooms that dont squeeze blue but they are weaker, and could possibly be something that resembles a certain strain, thats what happend to me. I have picked my own shrooms before and got good ones before, I would look online and then make a decision to eat them or not, kit growm Golden Teachers were the best shrooms I have ever ate, although I did eat 7g of only blue caps no stems(I bought an Oz), needless to say I couldnt walk that night and stepped into a trashcan and fell down, lol

I just got back and had some mushrooms on Tuesday. Bought the Hawaiian. Wow, what a trip. Wasn't with the best person for tripping, but man they were good. They were really thin and dried too, so eating them was a breeze. I forget where I got them, but it was real close to the Doors/Bulldog/Rokerij that are all in a row. $20 euros got me 12grams. Ate the box and went to town. 
Doog, the mushrooms ya find in the green fields of Scotland around Sept are nothing like the ones ya buy across the counter in Amsterdam and unlike most other drugs or intoxicating substances mushrooms can change reality instead of just altering it... 'Is this a little green man beside me?...Yes it IS!!'...Plus, the mushrooms ya pick yerself are MORE prone to give ya a bad trip because the dosage ya have to take in order for them to work is much higher than shop sold variety, thus making it a lot harder to control. Not to mention the outside influences that might have assisted in the growing of natural mushrooms such as farm chemicals and any other surrounding pollutants, can also help to fuk ya up.
Also, I'd advise anybody that has to hold a picture next to the drug they're planning to take in order to identify it....not to take it. Especially considering a fungus is not a fruit or vegetable, so the only thing washing them does ....is make them clean.

I have to say that the trusty liberty cap has seen me more off my face than any other mushrooms and they were handpicked by me or someone I know.
They are easily identifiable but I admit they are very small...100 will get you out of it but more can be better...or worse depending on your mood. When you see one though you usually find hundreds. Wait for september/october and go hunting on the fields.

You missed it right?
Liberty Caps... Ahhhh, my youth revisited..... I have to say the Head full of cartoons and hysterics was fun...... but my Rainman Amsterdam gotta go to Kmart episode on Hawaiians tops the effect of any other substance I've ever consumed.....
So much so I was quite disturbed in places and the waves just got worse.
Still............... better prepared for life without a head I'd go for it again.....
And DC is spot on..... As an LSD fan of old I loved the fact that I could kick back and say.... "It's just the Drugs... it's no biggy!" That's not a factor with the shrooms.... they grab you by the bollocks and swing you round..... and just when you think the swingings stopped and your balls can take no more they swing harder till your nuts snap off.
Is that graphic enough?
Cos they don't stop there..... they make you have it until you think that's the rest of your life done in some insane fear and loathing episode.... and then they go.....
I went through a phase of self assesment and questioning.... followed by nothing..... nothing at all... except the knowledge that I'd never be quite the same but I could still enjoy that extra cold beer and that lovely J that my buddy had just perfected........

When the going gets weird, the weird get going!
comming down off them sucks.. dont think too much!! lol
try em in amsterdam if you can, you can select between different varieties and wet or dry. also you can find them everywhere..
dont do them with people who are not doing them as well... if everyone your hanging with is on them, then you will enjoy there company much more.
and remember that they come in waves... big time...
i like to smoke a shitload while im on them , but some people do not. i also like to drink alot when im on them as well, but some people do not.. figure out whats best for u by taking it slow. you dont want to over do yourself , especially on vacation

@ DC .... libs are a piece of piss to identify, and if someone wanted a 2nd opinion all they would have to do is post a pic on shroomery & take a spore print.
Also they are not more likely to give you a bad trip. You may take more shrooms but thats because libs are so tiny.....you still only need a couple of grams for a good trip though.
The only thing likely to give you a bad trip is ignoring the 'set & setting' rule

Mushrooms have some the best highs I have. The key to a good trip are your mood, location, and the people you trip with. Its also good to have some who has tripped before as a sitter. My perfered locations for a trip is camping. If you get to high drink OJ or as I seem to do tripping is drink beer. Also smokin a jay will help with the speedy effect and enhance your colors. As far as mushroom identifying use this souce http://www.erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/ ... eata.shtml
this is the liberty cap. I have picked shrooms in Washington state ( stunzi, libertys, and wavy caps ps cyanescens the strongest) also in Florida ps CUBENSIS and last Hawaii's fresh from the north shore. Most PSILOCYBE shrooms will turn blue when bruised. Have fun and a good trip.
