Nope. It’s all psilocybin for the most part.

I guess the potency might count. But different strains don’t produce different psilocybin. Just different strengths of it.

Some strains might have different levels of other alkaloids and other related compounds. But do we want that? Possibly not? I don’t know. Check out those compounds in the link I guess.

It’s the psilocybin that does the work. Everything else is just noise possibly.

Now. McKenna would have it that different strains of mushrooms all spoke to him in subtly different ways. And he’d know. So there may well be some sort of entourage effect. More research is needed.

But then - Timewave. You have to take McKenna with a pinch of pixie dust. 😂

Because, lucid though he is on such matters related to psychedelics.

He was totally shite at physics. Like. Hilariously shite.

Unless it was all just a wind up. In which case. Touche. Terry.

I definitely agree with you on potency, that's a variable we can understand clearly. That's something we know from PE strains and other mutations.

I definitely can feel some difference between *some* shrooms but there's absolutely no way for me to determine if that is the case for other people. Like McKenna said, some shrooms speak to me more than others. But I cannot determine if that effect is instigated by me, but something in the shroom... I don't know. It's also so hard to tell what your diet, psyche etc at the time plays an impact on if you get more a visual trip or body high etc. For me, I consistently get more of a body high with GT than other strains. Who knows what influences that though.

Like you said, there's so many compounds in a shroom, I do feel there's a lot that we don't know about which could have an impact on the effects!

Love your response here!

A quick question regarding shrooms: why do UK Liberty Caps seem not to commercially available. The online spore kits that promise the spores always seem to link back to other types, with no Libertys? Thanks Z

Hey Z.

This is mostly because Libs are extremely difficult to cultivate - there has been a few people that have managed to grow libs, but it's incredible labourious and difficult to get the conditions right. Nobody has managed to get the right mix yet.

This results in Libs only being available by foraging in the wild, and that can be challenging to find a field with many fruits.

Libs have one of the highest psilocybin contents of mushrooms especially in Europe, they are a very specially shroom! So if you find them, it means whoever is selling them has gone to great lengths to provide them :).
Mush love, MM x

Thanks for that explaination. We used to start at the top of our large local park and ate as we picked them and had some lovely trips out in nature. Z.

They really are special, they are my favourite <3

I dunno, I’m told a cubes a cube but I’ve felt a difference between strains.
But it could be psychological and my mindset before starting a trip.

With Golden Teachers I feel like the mushroom is teaching me something about myself.
With Mazaptec I see patterns that you normally see in Aztec art, but same again that could be because I associate the shroom with Central America.
B+ makes things look like a cartoon- I don’t know what that’s about 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nope, all just the same really.
Unlike dmt, white, cream, yellow and red, all different.

Only ever had the more yellowy stuff.

Yellow is probably the best, as the white you need a lot of. Yellow is probably the sweet spot.👍

Worked for me. Admittedly, I’ve only ever done it twice.

The second time. Wooo-weee. Still trying to work that one out.

The rest of it is in a box in my loft hidden away. 🤣

Once I’ve worked out the last time. I might consider it.

That was 7 years ago 😄

For me, different strains definitely have different effects but I can't claim to know the science behind it. I've not had a full shroom trip in years but microdose frequently and I've noticed differences in the effects as well as the strength/potency.

GTs are solid and reliable, 200mg of dried shrooms and I'm good to go. Steady, consistent and uplifting buzz which really helps when I'm in a low mood or stressed.

I've also had APE and APE reverts, both of which were noticeably more potent (only needed about half as much) but with the same type of effects as GTs.

I then had some Trinity Caps which were absolutely nuts. Tried going as low as 50mg and it was still too much. Very different experience too, like an emotional rollercoaster which was sometimes kinda fun in a way but also very unpredictable and not great for work days!

As already noted, it's quite likely an entourage effect from other compounds in addition to the psilocybin, similar to the way different strains of weed have different effects even though the THC is just the same chemically-speaking.

This answer speaks to me a lot, espeically regarding the potency. Pretty much sums up much of my opinion on potency; as someone who microdoses GT's myself, I find them and B+ most solid reliable. For me personally, 200-250mg is perfect, but if it's a spicy culture, 250mg can have be feeling a bit too energised. APE's seem reliable too, but I've had some which have sent me.

Entourage with weed edibles is a journey, for sure!

I hear alot about Penis Envy (Albino) ones.... These are very tempting. P.s. as an 'expert' what would be the best way to take mushrooms? Last time, I made an error by boiling them in a tea with other ingredients, and I later realised this pretty much destroys them (anything above 70degrees I read).... And certainly, I didn't feel a thing (not bought from yourself or LittleBiggy btw).

My understanding is that the myth of boiling water destroying psilocybin has been busted for a while now. In my experience, this hasn't been an issue for me (I don't know what you combind the shrooms with, maybe that had an interaction) but boiling in generally should be fine. Check Erowid for more details. https://www.erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms_info7.shtml

For other ways of uptake. Try lemon tek, it can help with uptake and those with stomach issues. For me personally, I prefer making a tea or smoothie.

In your case, something to bare in mind is it could also be result of a not so potent batch you had -- esp if you bought them powdered (powdered shrooms generally lose their potency fast) or the hasn't been stored well.

Thank you for your response, yes I think something we mixed in with the tea must have interacted negativity with the psilocybin. I think chewing on them or lemon trek (if I understand correctly, grind the mushrooms into powder, then soak in fresh lemon?) is the best way.

Yeah, lemon tek seems to help with the uptake, although a lot of people also claim this is placebo... imo, placebo is great even if it's true. It also helps people with digest issues with shrooms. Personally, I'm not too bothered about scoffing one down with a swig of a drink, but some people don't enjoy the taste.
MM x

Im really enjoying the Pink Kush TSM have, really hits the spot for me💜💚

Ah maaaaan. I ordered 4-5 different ones from spacey today. That was the one I dropped Bow 😭😭

Classic LB timing, Im actually enjoying the Blackwater a bit more but that's to be off menu now, hard to keep up.
What did you go for?

Churkle, Durban poison banana bread, something else naughty.

I'd be buying more but fees seem to have gone crazy, 11-12% at 6 am this morning. Aintnobodygottimeforthat

There's always something new as soon as you buy. Guaranteed. Or, the price drops / BTC rises.

I see the previous recommendations (which are extremely sound, and from biggas whose opinions I value), but if you want to get mashed and it's within your price point, I'd recommend the Venom OG from Kali Kush Farms. Mashes me and my tolerance is quite high.

My postman is obviously a stoner, just the way he carries the back all slung back on his shoulder gives it away but he also looks like Wayne (or Garth I can't remember which one is which). I keep thinking I should offer him a bowl of the good shit but he delivers so much weed to me I think I'd be putting him in a bad position.

and inviting him to start stealing it.

I seem to get the same guy who gives me the look. He knows the print 😂
