Quote (stevestory @ Aug. 26 2008,23:20) | Is anything ingestible comestible? I'll leave that question for the philosophers.
the following events are all fictional depictions of a character I'll call Teve Tory, and none of the below happened in real life:
Quote | So today was Venture 3 into the cow fields looking for shrooms. Another disappointment. The past two days I found only very white mushrooms. Those are def not Psilocybe cubensis, which have a brownish splotch on top and a purple band on the stem. Tonight I didn't find anything matching the criteria either, though I went much further out than before. P. cubensis is somewhat rare, it turns out. But I did find a brownish cap mushroom with a brown/purple stem and grey gills as opposed to pure white gills. What the hell, I thought, so I carried it back to the casa and stuck it in a ziploc bag in the freezer after cutting about a gram or two off and swallowing that. No need to worry about me, I know for a fact this wasn't any kind of Amanita, which is horribly poisonous. Amanita usually has either white or red caps, and innocent looking but evil white gills. This isn't that. Hopefully it's some kind of psilocybe and 30 minutes from now I'll be hallucinating, but 95% odds nothing will happen. I think I'm going to need a car to drive around to enough fields to find some which have P. cubensis in them.
One of the great things about hallucinogens in general and mushrooms in particular is that it's virtually impossible to overdose on them. You'd have to eat like 40 lbs of shrooms to OD. |

A friend that went to college in Florida told me the cattle had to have grain in their diet to produce 'shrooms. IIRC, he said the stems would turn purple when you broke them.
