It's 2 years past the date on the label, not that it should matter. Not gonna risk it, or sure what happened. The other ones look fine.

Think I'm gonna get a few more, now that i'm ready to try.

EDIT: Apparently it does matter, and the vendors state the spores only only viable for around a year. I'm gonna order a new bundle, but still probably use the other ones that don't look funky.. I didn't store them in a fridge either, just stashed them away.

Yeah amanita has to be baked first I think. The trip description for them sounds pretty awesome, the couple I read the people got tired and started daydreaming and then became part of the dream until they snapped out of it and it would start over with a new one.

they actually sell them at a smoke shop here, never seen that anywhere else.
Ya see then I would try them for sure if I could find some one who knew how to prepare them. The effects sound awesome!!!!

One time me and a group of friends went hiking around up in the mountains, and found 100s of large amanita's growing in the woods.

Took a full grocery sack of them back to my buddies place, and made a huge pot of tea. I remember reading you can cook the bad stuff out.. Every one was kind of scared and only drank a teaspoon, and it didn't taste the best that's for sure. I drank a whole cup though.

The only way i've been able to describe the trip, was that I lost a week of my life/memory, and faded in and out like the guy that's coming down off NZT pill on the movie Limiteless, with the same tunnel vision and everything. I got stuck in weird time loops, like the same thing happened over and over for 2 days, then I would come to in some other location. Then it would happen again, and a day would go by, like a CD thats scratched and keeps skipping or something. IDK how to describe it.

It was only a few years back that I discovered those more orange/beigeish looking muscaria's we found 20 years ago were actually pantherina's!

I guess pantherina's are better anyway, and way more potent too, after learning more about them.
Man that's sounds great Lol.

So I was about to start noccing some bags up, when I discovered one of my spore syringes liquid turned a yellowish tint, and has floaty globs (not black like some pics show of spores, more like milky looking bacteria or something funky). Its the rusty whyte one, and I don't remember it looking that way at all, they were all clear looking. All stored inside in dark location, etc, never messed with other than taking that pic recently.

I haven't ever opened the ziplock bag containing it, and its only been over a year since I bought them.

Is it contaminated?
I believe if there's any discoloration out of the ordinary then it's most likely contaminated. Green, blue, red, yellow are probably colors you don't wanna see in a spore syringe.

Ya I leave mine in the bag they come in, spray it down with alcohol, an put it in a North face lunchbox in the drawer of my fridge along with my seed collection. So far so good, but I've never left them in there for more than a month. So....

Skeleton crews payment system is offline? Sounds like I can somehow paypal them through emails though.. Gonna pick up a new batch, and use them right away, lol. I need a new rusty white syringe (that doesn't turn into rusty piss water from sitting around), and looking at the anenome and z-strains.. Which ones haven't you guys tried?

I've tried a lot of them but not those two. Get in touch they'll point you in the right direction for sure.

I always had the most intense visual trips on liberty caps (semilanceata), and other wild psilocybes up here in the PNW. Baeo's (blue ringers), and cyanescens (wood lover varieties), etc.. Libs were most intense though.. I used to pick grocery bags full back in the days. I've seen the devil himself.

Its not just psilocybin, there is baeocystin and other active compounds too, psilocyn, etc... some types contain more of the other compounds than other types do. I dunno, there is something spiritual about consuming wild foraged mushrooms, and the way the were connected to the earth, and it alters everything about it for me.
Indeed, someone is out there that knows of Baeocystin, which is found in the not so well known Ps. Baeocystis, however, not to be stepping on your post, but "Blue Ringers" are different than Baeos. Blue Ringers formal name is Ps. Stunzii or some refer to them as Ps. Pugensis (sp?) which is refering to Pugent Sound, where they are prolific throughout the area. Baeocystis grow out of bark dust/bark beds, wood chips, etc. and sometimes in lawns, but they are not as common. I worked throughout the greater Seattle area mowing lawns and maintaining the grounds for large housing developments. OMG!!!! Autumn was unbelievable... mushrooms everywhere of all types... Just thought you may want to know the difference. Baeos are very potent and are extremely visual with deep spiritual and introspective wisdom waiting for you to tap into. Again, I am not meaning to put you on the spot/square... you can look them up and see for yourself, Baeocystis Stunzii

Yeeeeah natalensis!!

once the spawn is colonized it’s pretty much safe. If you’re using coir it’s fine to open the tubs up since there’s no uncolonized grain/manure or anything for mold spores to grow on.


my most recent natalensis from the iso I’m working

Nope.. they are no fun.. most people that eat them dont do it again... ive ate them a few times.. they just made me feel sleepy.. really odd dreams from them.. and everytime i woke up after eating them, all i could taste im my mouth was vomit.. even though i didnt puke.. its not a pleasurable time..
They do taste good baked though..lol.

I've never grown mushrooms but I do know about eating magics lol
It's getting into magic mushroom season here.

It's been awfully dry but I had a look for psylopsybin on Monday i didn't find anything besides 1 hay cap which is always a good sign.
It's been 20 years and some since I've taken them but I've had a fancy for a mushroom trip for a couple of years now, sort of a last trip, it was in the 80s i was getting high af on them, totally loved them.
