  1. >title< how do you tell?

    ive seen some pictures of them (erowid.com) i havent done them yet.

    but a lot of them look like stuff that grows in my backyard in spring and summer time, sometimes in early fall too..
     
  2. you can't.. don't do it unless ur a mushroom expert with many years of experiance.. unless u want a good chance of ending up in the hospital... something tells me your not an expert on mushrooms

    edit: when i mean mushroom expert i mean legit mushrooms...
     
  3. i know what you mean dude, but ive heard of ppl going "shrooming" where they just go out and look for shrooms. and i heard that if you found the right kind of mushroom it will "bruise" blue when you touch it. or something, but i guess i will just not be cheap and buy some instead.
     
  4. you need to be VERY experienced in it, there are mushrooms that look EXACTLY like shrooms that will kill you
     
  5. Learn some basics about mushrooms and try identifying yourself. But before eating make sure to post some pics and information on shroomery, they're very helpful.
     
  6. heh, "VERY experienced" eh? some of the ppl i know dont know shit about it and they pick every year, maybe its an inherrent scottish trait to know what mushies are safe :)
     
  7. that said DO BE CAREFUL!!!
     
  8. Yes, be very careful because many poisonous ones that can kill you look very smiliar to the ones containing psilocin/psilocybin. Chances are the ones that grow in your yard are not active and I would not eat them anyways. Head over to the shroomery.. they will be more than willing to help you identify
     
  9. if i were u i would just buy some shrooms from some1 u trust and get ready to have a blast:)
     
  10. I ate some "wrong" mushrooms one time. I tripped hard for a couple of days. when I say tripped, I really mean whent crazy.

    Its not fun to eat the wrong mushrooms.
     
  11. doesnt EROWID have a guide on shrrooms, because they have a huge picture guide on X so im assuming in the best interest of saftey they have one for shrroooms too

    peace

  12. That is not true, not all halucenagetic mushrooms will bruise blue. Do not use that as a sole purpose of identifying.
