Shroom Hunting

  1. Can you find shrooms in any forest? Has anyone picked there own shrooms?

    Tips or ideas please.

    random question i know but im baked and just watch a show about people hunting mushrooms for ppl in japan or something like that and it got me thinking.
     
  2. I think you find them under cow shit....im not sure ive never done shrooms
    i just heard that through the grapevine
     
  3. yer iv heard about ppl picking them in a area near me, but i would never have the guts to eat something off the ground that i didnt no what it was, alot of mushrooms are poisonous.
     
  4. yea don't do it if you don't know what your doing. way too risky
     
  5. Actually all shrooms are poisonous, even psychedelic ones because the psilocybin poisons you and you trip from that basically.
     
  6. Yes, you can find them in forest. The shrooms that are most common are found on dung or cow patties. The shrooms that are native to my area grow in pine forest. You just have to find out whats native to you.

    Do some reading, if Psilocybin is a poison then it's not a very effective one ;)

    Also overgraray is right, this isn't something you take on without knowing exactly what you're doing. A lot of fungi look very similar to Psilocybe Cubensis but are in fact highly toxic. Read up and get someone who's experienced.
     
  8. do a lot of research before you go shrooming, and go with someone whos hunted before.

    not all mushrooms are poisonous, and psilocybin isnt a poison.
     
  9. oh yea i plan on doing a ton of research first have a book of mushrooms with pics so i know whats what and all.

    and yea its a mild poison thats why you sweat when your on them your sweating out poison.
     
  10. Yeah, you can go looking for them in the wild.

    Just be careful, you need to make sure you have the correct mushrooms; you don't want to be eating anything that could kill you.
     



  11. Very true. Death= Bad
