which shrooms are best

im interested in tryin shrooms have done some trips before like acid an 25's but am no curious about shrooms need a insight into which strain and doseage levels i will need as a first time user
any help appreciated

I find that the Z-Strain provides the best all round trip with both intense visuals, serious beginning giggles and just the right amount of introspective contemplation. Moreover they are seriously resistant to contaminants and its mycelium will push through the driest of substrates. First time i grew i used z strain and I COMPLETELY fucked up my rye berries preparation. It looked like the grain hadnt been soaked nor boiled and i still got complete colonization from spores in just over 2 weeks.

nice info appreciated have you any idea on doseage thou i have been told for a first time anything from about 1.5g - 2.5g will be enough tht correct ?

psilocybe azurescens are the most potent of all. you can only eat about 0.25g or 0.3g before you will want to regret it.

tbh the main reason for the interest is because of the healing and medical properties of psilocybin
so i am not to bothered about getting the most potent and more the most relaxing and enjoyable

I'd recommend 2-3g for your first dose.
You could take 2g, and then if you find you're liking it, take the extra gram after about an hour.

IME, anything less than 2g won't give you the full "lift off" experience, and can lead to you getting stuck in "thought loops".

Most shrooms you'll find will be P. cubensis,and I don't think you'll find a vast variation in potency (unless they've been very badly grown).

the finding of the shrooms and the strains isnt a problem at all
is it easy to get stuck in loop thought then if u dont come up enough at first ?

If you really want to get into the 'best' mushrooms, the strain matters little, it's the guys that manage to isolate good CULTURES that have the magik...

My favourites are the 'Hillbilly' culture of Texan mushrooms. Cured my migraines. And they are FUN FUN FUN, super-potent no jokes but it's one great big laugh all the way.

The other one is a culture of Amazonian a friend has been working on, it hits more like you'd expect from MDMA, extremely relaxing, total empathogen, high-energy rushes that make you want to JUMP with joy.

That being said, each mushroom has it's gift. If you are into the healing aspect, try find somewhere you can go to collect them FRESH, max psilocybin minimum psilocyn usually. If it's medicine you want, fresh is the way forward.

I dis-agree, they can vary really intensely in potency the ol' cubes. Pro's will GRIND them into a poweder and mix that up nicely for an even potency, usually using quite a lot at once.

The Hillbilly culture is so strong you only need .8 grams and you know about it in 15 minutes, an hour later your ancestors can feel it it's THAT strong...

cheers for input people 1st ever form post n u all been helpful

Welcome skatston! Be careful of the mushrooms you eat as previously stated,get ahold of the more potent variety od shrooms and you can overdo it,and healing will be a far away notion..the usual 'weekender' shroomer will always say eat an 8th..get ahold of the right strain and .5 will have you begging for mercy,and this is coming from a man who's been out threr more than id like to admit..be care and well informed before you munch...have a good trip and be safe,hope the healing goes well!

Rory did you get your ass kicked by an eighth of super potent mushies? You're not usually the one to suggest caution.

Yep, I dry & grind them too, and pop them in 00 gelatin capsules.

I've grown Z, Texas, Golden Teacher, Thai Elephant Dung, Hillbilly, PESA, Chitwan, Treasure Coast and several others I can't remember at the moment... using PF and straw logs.. I've never noticed any great differences in potency between them.
They do have subtly different effects, but the set & setting (as always) make the most difference.
I can't say I've noticed any difference in real potency.. 3g is always about right for me.

There are some TED on straw from '06.

Duck I had these azurecens in denver at a phish show..took three rookies who had never even seen a concert or tripped on anything.from oklahoma(very isolated individuals)...scored an oz of boomers for $80..guy told me what they were and I believed every word cause he's a good guy I've known for years..these kids ate an 8th..I ate a gram..I felt very sorry for those kids.my gram was intense and I've got a lot of experience I feel..but they had the best night ever due to my mistake!..lol...I enjoyed their reactions to the whole experience more than the show I believe...

Bloke..nice pic! Ever grown the blue meanies or the gulf coast saucers? By far the biggest caps are the gulf coast...I got a friend who grew them when I was very young..huge mushrooms..I had a stem from a grow that was the size if a snickers candybar!..unusal in 2 ways..one being the size of this fungus,and two being potency..a gram was fun,2 was intense..and in my experience the bigger the shroom the less potent..I would love a gram of pinners of the gulf coast!..

Hahahaha. My wife is going to be dropping acid for the first time next week and I'm really excited about it, much more than I am about tripping myself. It's funny because when I was talking to the friend who gave it to me his immediate reaction was to say to give her a half because these are potent. We'll split a 1cm strip into thirds and I'll eat two of them.

4 hits into 3? That's gotta be some heavy shit duck! Hope she has fun!..I always have fun watching people smile with perma-grin!

Wait..that's one hit..cmXcm..extra heavy.

These are from a 5cmx5cm sheet

I say for a first dose don't go low-dosage, almost every shitty trip I've had to help people through were on halves and weak papers. My wife's first dose was a badass paper we called 'internet explorers' because they had this little pic of a computer with the internet explorer 'e' on the screen, four papers per full little print. Even the old heads agreed, 500 REAL micrograms, they were HUGE tabs. Best time of her life that, mine too, I didn't believe how strong they were so I ate 4... Everything was still bent into a triangle 3 days later muahahahahahahaha....
