Saying muscazone is less potent than muscimole isaskingaying that muscazone is less desirable than muscimole. Knowing that muscimole is psych...

Re: Preparing before drying

I come from a region where people traditionally let cure the cheese until those very same worms start to wriggle inside so much that the cheese looks like walking on the table ! There is obviously no problem for the older generation to eat these worms. In reality they are even valuable since some pe...

Re: washing them?

I can't say, I haven't tried. I don't wash the dirt when it is sticks too hard to the skin but hopefully they will still have good strength since the rain doesn't wash down all the actives neither...

Re: Terence McKenna speaks about John Allegro and Jesus Mushroom

It was with a dose of around 4g of freshly dried psilocybe semilanceata picked up at more than 2000m high. Eaten at night on the site where they grew, alone in a storm ! To me perceiving spirits with the senses is often subject of misunderstanding. Because it is already a manifestation and so an int...

Re: washing them?

Oven drying goes perfect if you can set your oven on low temperature (around 60°c) with the fan on and the door opened. But soaking in water wash down the actives very rapidly. A few seconds of contact with water is enough to loose almost everything in the water. Also we have not seen exactly how yo...

Re: Terence McKenna speaks about John Allegro and Jesus Mushroom

I heard the Mushroom too (psilocybe) and the first thing he said was to take him ONLY FOR HEALING. He said that was the only right purpose to eat him and that if I wanted to open his true potential I had to follow strictly this advice (actually it felt more like a rule than an advice). Psilocybe is ...

Re: Preparing before drying

You can still pick up the ones that are not decomposing. Old specimens are still good and potent. If the mushroom is hard enough to pick and dry then it is still good to eat or infuse.
