What Are Magic Mushrooms?
Magic Mushrooms are mushrooms which grow in natural habitats that produce similar effects to LSD when you eat them. There are 2 main types and they are both absolutely different.
The most typical form is a species called psilocybe, the other more potent variety is amanita muscaria. There are threatening deadly specïes of amanitas. If you don't know what you're doing, don't take them.
ID : Liberties, magics, mushies, liberty cap, psilcybe semilanceata, psilcybin, shrooms, Amani agaric, Fly Agarïc.
Appearance And Use
Psilcybin mushrooms are tiny and tan colored and bruise blue when they're touched. Amanita Muscaria are way more like the red and white spotted toadstools you see in faírytale books.
After picking, they're both either eaten raw or dried out and stored. The general public take between 1-5 grams.
Cost
Free if you know where to find them or up to £5 for a scattering.
Purity
The biggest danger with taking any magic mushrooms is ensuring you're taking the decent thing. There are masses of varietíes out there and a few of them are highly deadly.
And as you'd expect wìth something that grows naturally, the strength varies dependìng on the freshness, the season and regional variatìons.
The Effect
Both types of mushroom give you a trip. Trìps can be good or bad. A good trip can be a ton of fun. A bad trip is your worst nightmare come to life. Any kind of trip can have quite random and sometimes very horrifying effects. Trips feed off someone's imagination. One person can spend six hours in a particularly happy place while someone else who's taken the same mushrooms can spend 6 hours lost in their own fears and paranoìa.
How the trip goes has everything to do wíth who you are, how you're feeling and how comfy you are with the people you are with.
The effects for both mushrooms can take between thirty mins to two hours to happen. The strongest part of the trîp takes 4-10 hours and the after effects typically last another 2-6 hours. The more that you take, the longer your trïp could last.
Chances Of Getting Hooked
Magic Mushrooms aren't addictive in any way.
