A Totally Weird "Magic Mushroom" That No One Seems To Know Anything About... Is It Real? (TMS EP 18)

- We all know about Psilocybin Mushrooms, and perhaps even the "other" magic mushroom, Amanita muscaria- but what if there was a third one?
According to the stories, it "Makes You See The Little People" and sounds truly bizarre-
In this episode of The Mushroom Show we're digging into the story of the "blue staining boletes" that do not contain psilocybin, yet apparently have psychoactive properties that are entirely different than the typical experience. We're also going on a foraging adventure to try and support a theory about mushrooms fruiting in 7 year cycles.
0:00 Intro
0:54 The Mystery Of The Blue Staining Boletes
10:52 Foraging For Amanita And More
23:15 Outro - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Psilocybin saved my life. My neighbor saw me walking into the woods with a gun in my hand, and saw the note pinned to my front door and came crashing into the woods screaming for me to wait. He sat with me and cried with me for hours. Once he finally talked me down he told me to come with him. When I walked into his house, for the first time, it was like walking into Wonderland or Oz! Brightly colored fractal patterns all over the walls, tie dye EVERYWHERE, and posters of various 60s-80s bands.
He asked me if I was ready to give life another chance if he could help me make the pain go away. I told him I doubted he could, but I would try. He put on a Pink Floyd vinyl, gave me 5-6 giant capsules of a bluish gray substance, and loaded up a device that looked similar to a crack pipe, and told me to swallow the capsules, all at once. He then told me I had just eaten magic mushrooms and to let him know when I felt them. About 25 minutes later they started working. This is when the “crackpipe” came into the picture, and HOLY SHIT!! He loaded up a orangish yellow crumbly powder, and told me n”don’t be scared, but you are about to meet my friends, and they will help you.” Which sounded freaking stupid, but I hit the pipe when he lit it. Two hits later I was GONE! with the psilocybin and DMT working together I got blasted to a completely different…. Place? Realm? I don’t know where o went, but the beings I spoke to were absolutely clear that I was no longer on Earth. I was no longer in my body. I was told I was spiritually sick and I needed to be cleaned. I spent HUNDREDS of years in this place. I met thousands of these entities, and even took on a job. In that place I was made to meditate nearly constantly. At first they guided me, but eventually made me do it on my own. After hundreds of years of this the leader of the entities who called themself “Mother” told me that I had been cleansed and healed and it was time to go home. I didn’t want to go back and began to resist. Mother gave me a push and shouted “GO!” so loudly that I thought it would tear me apart. When I came back, I found myself lying on the floor. Only about 30 minutes has passed, and I was still in the middle of a full-blown magic mushroom trip. It was the most beautiful and amazing experience of my life, and at times the most terrifying. but after that day, I never took another antidepressant, another anti-anxiety pill, and I’ve never had to go back to therapy. To this day, I still microdose three times a week.. my relationship with myself and those around me is MUCH healthier. For the first time in my life, I’m happy. All because the hippy next door had a bad feeling. Thanks Phil. I love you man
I'll add my thanks to yours - thank you Phil!
This is what I WANT to experience. Or whatever form my own mind would needfully create. I've been fighting the patterns of thought years of abuse and trauma laid into me. Their patterns are strong! I've made a LOT of progress. I do give myself credit. However, I've only so much life to live. I gave up crucial parts of my own self, just to survive. I want and need my own self BACK.
I've found the pieces of myself scattered throughout my own psyche, and surroundings. I don't look at psychedelics as a shortcut, but rather as a powerful "broom". Sweep these scattered "bits" together, and within my reach!! I'll do the work from there ‐ truly!!!!
I'll get there. As long as I keep going.

Wow. That WAS a trip!
Killer... nice neighbors are important... community is important, wizards, sorcerers, shaman, hippies etc are essential for the health of our society.

Psychedelics dissolved 10years of my depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts in 10 minutes for me.
When I opened my eyes I came back as a different me.
All trauma has been dissolved before my very eyes.
I understood what love and understanding truly meant and 9 months on, I've never experienced any of the depression and anxiety that plagued my existence beforehand.
I saw every path that everyone had ever taken and why.
It is the most profound experience of my life. Just my experience.
Depression haunted my life from a very young age, and I was put on a bunch of SSRIs as a child in attempt to deal with it. None worked.Psychedelic mushrooms was brought to my attention. It was the first thing that actually had real effects. They should only be used with great care and respect.
I hear this is supposed to be good for people who have mental health issues. I actually just started the research process of microdosing and all that. Im to the point where I want shock treatment.
I would love to try shrooms, just don't know where to get them, can anyone link me to someone?

The use of magic mushrooms can completely help one get over addiction and depression. but there’s a big risk if you eat the wrong type
Psychedelics should only be used with great care and respect, I would love to feel same man , how do you source em
dr.perryshrooms is the best psychedelic guy I know. Got all kinds of psychedelics stuff.. Guided me through my first ever experience
Yes, dr.perryshrooms. There's a lot of potential in psychedelics
Nature is magical and healing. what a beautiful experience 🍄
hm. Can dr.perryshrooms dispatch to me in LA?
I guess I just want somewhere to share my story.
When I was 19 I took shrooms, and it was like I was turned inside out. As a child, I was very extroverted and loved being around people. And after the shrooms, I felt disconnected from everyone and everything around me. I just wanted to alone. I am learning to feel happiness from within myself, not running from myself. It's been a LONG and PAINFUL process but once it's healed, it's healed and beautiful.
Its like that...people just stress me tf out.
one time i did shrooms (my first n only time but i had done acid before)
and i started to notice how badly my friends treated me and i saw how we interracted with each other more clearly, and it really opened my eyes.
@@janithglichrist2994 I can relate to that. It definitely was the beginning of the end for me too. But the ending of something less real, so I'm ok with it. Just took a lot of adjusting and I can't bring others with me like I tried to at first.
@@BenAnderson-mg4huI've been looking to get my hands on shrooms since growing isn't an option for me . Any one knows where I can source?
@@kiramatt6152Yes he's Dr.jeffshroom
@@vickiebeaver6843Woo I'm not surprised you moment dr.jeffshroom name... They man is good and people always talk nice about him.
I'm from Norway. I have read about boletus varieties with psychoactive properties in a little book in Danish, (which I can read, but don't talk) about "hallucinogenic"/psychoactive plants, mushrooms and even a few fish and toad species. It's written by a man (former teacher) known as Sten Larris back in the late 1970s - early 80s, and the title was in direct translation
Hallucinogenology:
"Forbidding Hallucinogens? - Forbid Nature to Grow!"
I'm on vacation in the North of the country, so I don't have access to the book until I'm back where I'm living. I have not found this type of boleti, but they aren't as common as Amanita muscaria and panterina. (Or "Liberty caps").
He also reported that smoking Hypholoma fasciculare and also a related specie, gave a sort of trip. But it is definitely toxic to eat, according to Wikipedia sources.
It's possible to send you a copy of the interesting parts and references if you have any e-mail or whatever way to communicate on the web.
Fascinating! I would love to learn more about his work. Can you share the reference with me?
del når du kan, interessant!
Smoking Sulphur Tufts sounds really interesting and I would like to know more about that.
Hypholoma seems to contain Phenethylamine and trace amounts of Methylamine but nothing else that seems to be psychoactive from analysis results? Only other compounds that are said to stink like rotting flesh such as Cadaverine and Diaminobutane?
Methylamine (featured in breaking bad) is also said to have a stench similar to decaying fish 🤮
So yeah I can't imagine smoking that mushroom would be very pleasant at all? Most things that are unpleasant like so tend to affect your state of mind going into any kind of psychoactive phase? As in; if psychoactive the unpleasantness is likely to take over your trip in a rather negative way?
This is what Cyan mushrooms are like

I clicked on this instantly... I'll definitely be back tomorrow.
While mushrooms may fruit cyclically, and amanita muscaria may be on a 7-year cycle, other mushrooms may be on different cycles. Mycology is such a fascinating and growing field! The things we still don't know...
I know of a forest where they grow everywhere and come back year after year, not sure about specific spots, some years produce more than others...
@@ericblust5923 maybe different groups of amanita arrived there at different times? could explain the different amounts each year
@@ratkebab9536 Its all from the same mycelium. They're not cyclical, they just respond to environmental triggers.
@@ratkebab9536 prolly that, i tend to see some every years, never tripped on them tho
what if there's rare mushrooms that are on a several century cycle that we have no idea exist
Hilarious, she was vibing with the little people as shes shaking hands and smiling for the camera.👏
I think it is so weird that people have similar trips and see the same things when they trip on certain psychedelics.
You guys are my new favourite TH-cam channel, this is super cool :) keep it up!
This is all proof that Gargamel just ate a bunch of mushrooms
Big weed approved
Ha, like it. One for the >40s ;)
I’ve always wondered how many bugs, fungi and plants that can be psychoactive to us; we just haven’t found or realized it.
This Bolete is called Sedesdem in the Cordilleras region of Luzon in the Philippines. The 'Little People' are called Ansisit in the Kankanaey language.
Wow, good info thanks!
Great video! Lots of good information. Especially enjoyed the time lapse!
Love your vids and your channel man 🤙🏽😄 Great stuff !!
I started my mushroom journey off the back of a bumper year of mushrooms and particularly in finding a huge yield of Amanita Muscaria a couple years back and finding out it can be (if you're careful and safe) used to give anxiety relief and some of the deepest and best sleep I've ever had in my adult life. Anyway, every year I've checked back and while I've found a couple other smaller areas fruiting since that same spot has been dormant. If I'm still around in 7 years and this channel is still going I'll add to the anecdotal evidence. There're definitely bumper years for certain mushrooms and I know there's at least one mushroom with a studied 21 year cycle (which points towards your 7 years being accurate) so I suspect you're right.
Maybe a topic for a video or a project idea for an anecdotal data collection website- like plantnet for mushrooms where we can collectively document and figure out mushroom cycles over time.
My parents tripped out after eating breakfast in a cafe in Spain over 10 years ago. They had a load of mushrooms etc, and maintain it was definitely a mild mushroom trip. No idea how it happened, probably contamination or a very naughty chef!
There are other mushrooms that produce psylocibin and stuff, there are also many many unknown mushrooms, its a fairly new school of biology compared to other things like animals and plants
I second the suspicion that your parents are the naughty ones, and you're actually living proof of that Peter..
Even mushrooms bought in a supermarket can be from multiple different species, even in the same pack. In parts of the world where wild foraged mushrooms are sold at supermarkets, who knows what there could be. I would say 99.9% of the time they'll be closely related mushrooms with similar profiles to what they're sold as.
With all the traveling people do, it's easy to spread spores.
Psilocybin and psilocyin are pretty weak molecules when it comes to heat so if they were fully cooked mushrooms it probably wasn't from the cafe.
Honestly my major cyclical, episodic depression (MDD) vanished the day I had the magic mushroom tripping while listening to the birds singing in the early morning, up at the cottage country in Muskoka (Ontario, Canada) ....
Literally changed my life

I can honestly say psychedelics experience was probably one of the most profound and beautiful collection of moments I have ever had.
I wish they were legal, they'd be easier to Source and far lower risk.
I love shrooms. I've suffered from severe depression for almost two decades, the only time I felt truly free and joyous was when I've been tripping.
@@jmiguel6285so how do you source yours?
@@ricomanuel7567In amsterdam it's legal and government approved.
Magic mushrooms are the safest "recreational" drug to take and those who take them are the most sensible and well prepared.
I have heard stories on the Midwest about mushrooms working a two year cycle. Nature does this sometimes. We notice it in fish spawn too at a four year cycle among crappie, walley, stripped bass, and blue gill.
This is soooooo AWESOME!!! Great research 💥
This is a very informative video! Thank you! I like how you use the name, the scientific name, often. Also that it’s is paired nicely in time with the visual of the mushroom itself helps me to successfully remember the name!
What a great channel to stumble across. Sure psychedelics are cool and all but I really enjoy mycology overall, and that fungi kingdom to be full of surprises. I love that this show integrated the pharmacological aspects of the fungi kingdom, but also just the interest and science of mycology and very professional production quality. I’ve subscribed!
@@DanicaPatrick-lr7hy что? я не понимаю
Just a tip to any amanita muscaria pickers that might not know/realise this. Don't pick em if their growing by yew trees because it takes the poison out of the yew tree via the roots meaning that even after you've decarboxalysed them it will still contain the poisons from the yew tree. Don't want anyone getting hurt on the of chance. Other than that any other tree they grow with should be fine hope this helps someone
Or dont pick them at all and go for peyote cactus instead
@@chloroplast8611 not very easy to find for some people although I know you can get grow kits online for them really easy had a chance to get a kit for myself a while ago but ended up going for cubensis instead takes ages to grow a cactus and I wouldn't ever want to harvest it because it might stop growing or something. Got a few cactus not psychedelic ones tho I absolutely love em only plants my cats don't try to eat
@@chloroplast8611 I sincerely hope you are joking. Peyote cactus take forever to grow. To consume enough for a trip, you would have to take a few dozen, meaning several hundred years of combined growth. Maybe you mean San Pedro.
thank yo, was just about to go looking for amanitas!!
Oh, wow. Didn't realize that. Makes sense since they are mychorhizal. Thanks for the heads up! Also worth reminding people how insanely toxic yew are, as well as oleander.
Love your channel, thanks for all the info
Very fascinating. Thank you for this
I've been researching this story since it happened. I'm still baffled by the fact no one has sent these shrooms to a lab to look at wtf they have.
So, she had these shrooms called "jian shou qing" that are psychoactive but not when cooked. I'd be surprised if what I can only assume to be a mid to high end restaurant didn't cook them properly and they were still psychoactive. Who knows, though? Maybe she was tripping balls and it may or may not have been good old psilocin. Probably not, though.
I don't know why but this story has become extremely important to me and I'm glad someone's talking about it.
I'm a forager in Iowa bolets are a type I really dove into last year... Now it's time to undercook the blue staining variety 😂
I'm sorry but th blue staining one u might be picking is not pyscidelic is just the oxidation
Not recommend because these are a complete different species
The psychedelic active compounds in mushrooms are stable until a relatively high temperature. You are able to cook them safely up to at least 400°C, if I am remembering right. Especially with fresh mushrooms because they definitely have some insulating properties and are mostly water so that keeps the temperature down. So yeah, you can cook psychedelic mushrooms. If you had that kind before then you would have known it.
@@aesop2733 Relative to what?
@@aesop2733how is this relevant? Did you read?
This is amazing! I'd be down to explore that region looking for mushrooms.
nice laid back delivery and info
Im a freshman in college and a few months ago just used my new student ID to log into the website to read this paper and it got me super interested but I hit a road block. This is my call to research these things further in college, I’ve always wanted to study abroad🤔 wish me luck!
I have 46 acres and I get Amanita every single season. Not every 7 years. Ghost pipe are excellent pain killer btw. :)
Also an excellent anxiolytic, and apparently it can even be used as a "bad trip killer" when using psychedelics.
@@ParadoxalDream natures Xanax? 😆
@@ChadKovacjust, as a word in favor of the plants, try to only take the tops of the ghost pipes by cutting it off near the ground. Plucking them kills an already rare and slow growing plant. A concentrate made from some of the wild lettuce varieties is also well regarded for pain killing properties.
@@ChadKovac It would seemed so! But caution is advised, from what I understand the plant targets our opioid receptors and it would have the potential to be an addictive substance. Similar to kratom I think, although I never consumed kratom.
I made a ghost pipe tincture and it helped two people in my life. One person had been going to the chiropractor with little to no result. With ghost pipe she escaped the pain and began smiling all the time. Her pain is gone and she is now back to normal without taking the tincture anymore.
Your Amanita theory appears to hold some water and the Yunnan Little People Blue Staining Boletes are intriguing. Great episode.
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion about culinary and medicinal mushrooms! Interesting!, I never heard of 7 year shroom cycles but there are other things in nature that have 7 year cycles.
Psilocybin is an ancient and powerful medicine. It is amusing that “modern” medicine is only now trying to understand what Indigenous people have know for a millennia.
I’ve always wanted to try em out anyone know where I can get em.?
I don’t think so!!
On IG.?
Can dr_xzavier deliver to me here in Ohio.?
I can attest to dr_xzavier, I’ve dealt with him for almost two years now. His very good !!
I enjoyed your coverage on the Yunnan Hallucinogenic mushroom. You might also find the Japanese Laughing Lantern or Laughing Gym quite interesting. (Gymnopilus junonius). Another unique hallucinogenic mushroom. Check it out. Might inspire you to make another informative video.
This sounds like the origin story for the Smurf’s, little people, blue mushrooms… that’s awesome
I love the Amanita hunt. Many grow out back a ways from my house every August the past few years. Before that it had been over 15 years since Ive seen them so I'm excited for this year due to the abundance of rain. I have dried and boiled a small quantity and steeped it. Had a nice sedative effect and vivid dreams
I was in an extremely remote mountainous part of PNG and a child was carrying a MASSIVE blue staining bolete back to his mother to be cooked. I was surprised and took a couple photos, and the other kids told me these mushrooms taste good but MUST be cooked or you'll go 'long-long' which usually means 'crazy' but what they described was more like intoxicated/hallucinating, but they didn't have a specific word for that.
Blue staining bolets will not get you high...
They're nothing like psychedelic mushrooms
Oh TRUST ME, they'll have a word. Just not a proper one in pidgin. My family has had a few things to do with PNG.
I absolutely agree with the multi year cycle. I might get one or 2 here and there but no real HAULS for at least 5-6 years here in Florida. (but there's almost ALWAYS flushing somewhere, and they're not even cubes! 😂)
I love your use of a “trippy” video transition at approx 15:33. Well played.
I LOVE how all the posts that the youtube algorithm suggest for me ALL talk about something that I have posts or talked about within the last two weeks. either I am way ahead of the curve, or the information i acquire is presenting itself to me faster. I JUST found one of these blue staining bolete about two weeks ago in Edmonton Alberta Canada and came across the same information about "seeing the little people"
That is actually because your tech devices track everything you do, search, and say, not because you are “ ahead of the curve”. You are too funny dude. No disrespect meant here. I’ve had similar experiences on multiple topics and it’s not a coincidence. Cheers
Oh man I'd love to see some more research on this topic too! My guess is it's probably not the actual mushroom itself but maybe some kind of symbiote organism. Maybe to only a few of these boletus sp. And that's why it's hard to narrow down the little people effect. It would be interesting to compare the anecdotal evidence with times of year, rainfall averages, and temperatures at which these types of mushrooms are typically harvested. From there seeing if there are certain tree or plant species to which these are myccorhizal as well. And then check the bacteria present too. If cooking them is the guarantee against the little people effect it could just be some other life form all together .. right? Well, I'm interested and would love to hear more. We gotta send Alan over there and let him do his thing!

I ate blue staining boletes in northern arizona, they were identical to the ones you showed in the video. I dehydrated them. felt very nauseous and feverish the whole night. I had slight monsterish looking hallucinations that i could only see with my eyes closed.
In north america there are two blue staining species one edible and one poison. I have never had the courage to try them my self.
@@Blueprint4Murder I'm thinking I ate the poison ones hahaha
There is no blue or bluishing boletes that contain psiclocybin. The blueing reaction is on a whole other type than psyclocybes mushrooms.
@@olivierguimont4020 Most of the people that hunt mushrooms are not druggies m8. Most of the people that die from mushrooms are.
@@olivierguimont4020 I did have mild hallucinations tho. It wasn't a placebo because I was 100 percent under the assumption that they were edible and non hallucinogenic.
Good show man. Well done;)
Wow! So glad I found your channel!

Can’t wait to share! Gonna be a fun one.
Oh yeah? What are you gonna do, hack TH-cam so you can see it early?
@@Barnaclebeardwhat a strange thing to ask. 🤣 I suppose what I'm going to do, is wait in suspense to watch the new mushroom show episode? I thought it sounded interesting, and I enjoy the content of the channel!
@@ScorobeSlavinpoop Oh yeah? Well @barnaclebeard and I will be watching very closely to make sure you don't hack TH-cam to see it early

I recommend to anyone with the time and patience to make mushroom extract. In my experience, there is zero percent negative side effects. It's just super clean. All you need is the tip of a knife's worth. Very clear thoughts and connection with yourself and the world. Stay happy and healthy everyone. Love from Wisconsin!
I'm in Alabama and I need some LUV ❤️....any help would be great 👍
Thanks for the heads up Tony, I’ll keep an eye out for the 7 year cycle
Be sure to let me know! I must now wait until 2030 for another round of Amanita there haha
I see them pop up in the same spots every year!
good to see you out in the woods looking at the different mushrooms and I like how colourful some of them are.
Amonita Muscaria grows on my property in NC every October. But they seem to all fruit together in a matter of days. They’re easy to miss if you don’t check for them every day when they’re due. I haven’t worked up the balls to experiment with them yet. I just feel lucky to have them visit me each year.
Once you identify them properly be sure to decarb if consuming
Collect the ones that you can find and send them out to the ones that are willing to pay for them.
I'll give you my address if and when you do actually find them.
I have picked a patch of AM under the same tree every year for the last 4 years. This is in the high rockies right by one of my favorite fishing spots. I will have to pay more attention if my other spots are the same but I can definitively say that a seven year cycle isn’t always the case for amanitas, at least in my area. Very interesting theory though. I also find boletus rubriceps in the same spots almost every year. The only years it doesn’t show up is when we don’t get enough rain.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Yeah, probably not a 7 year cycle everywhere... just something I have definitely noticed!
@@FreshCapMushrooms are you sure that those are even A. Muscaria? they look alot more like some part of the Gemmata clusterf.
Gemmata has some sort of cycle, they are always there but they are like a flood in the year after the oak mast. I would guess its some animals fault because they dont enter symbiosis with oaks.
pretty dope brother, subscribed to you
Amazing episode! It's very exciting to think there could be way more compounds and mushrooms that can induce hallucinations. Animals across the kingdom eat to hallucinate and so we may learn a lot from observing what they do and point to what plants and mushrooms we should be studying.
Its not the psilocin itself that is blue, it is oxidized to oligomers that range from blue to green hues and eventually to darker and dirtier colors when it continues to polymerize.
My friend and myself found then one year, turned to mush after we picked them (15yrs old). Found them about 5yrs later - checked every year! I think your spot on!
This was very interesting , Subbed , Liked and shared , Thank You :) QC
TH-cam hasnt showed me anything from your channel in quite a while; youre lookin ripped dude
LOL, I have been working on it, thanks for noticing!
That Yunnan mushroom sounds incredibly fascinating! Sounds similar actually to psilocybin mushrooms and Amanitas in the way that it may carry species specific, hallucinogenic compounds, but what's also interesting is how it may be anecdotally verified because of how the mushroom only grows in that region. If it's a compound only found in that mushroom, and the mushroom only grows in that region, that may explain why it's anecdotal: xiao ren ren sounds like a facet of Yunnan culture due to this dynamic. Definitely want to hear more about this! It's where mycology and anthropology meet, and I love hearing about that!
I find it interesting that everyone sees the same “little people”. What parts of our brain contain the “little people”?!
@@realgoose good question, can't wait to see future research on the subject. Maybe it's a combination of neurological effect and cultural narrative.
This Mushroom is called Sedesdem in the Cordilleras region of Luzon in the Philippines. The 'Little People' are called Ansisit in the Kankanaey language.
Have you looked into the psychedelic Collybia species? A couple years ago the mushrrom and psychonaught community blew up when some research came out about certain species of Collybia being psychoactive and that the chemical that causes it is very similar to that of salvinorin in salvia. But the hyped died down and I haven't been able to get any answers as to why, no one talks about it anymore and I can't find any trip reports
I turned out to be false
That's was very interesting, thanks Tony
Thanks for checking it out!
Thank you for sharing this video, I wandering in a forest in Quebec and found blueing Boletes, I was wondering about the same thing!
Just spent an evening crying and apologising to my knees for not treating them well over the years. That was fun!
Regards.
F in the chats for your knees.
i’ve been trying to microdose. it has calmed me down. i’m not very good at math and i just grab what think is right. sometimes it’s just normal
( i like it like that. )
i’m very tickled about how much better my brain feels tho. i’m just a beginner at 63.
sounds like everyone needs one good trip.
i’m still holding on to that.
it’s gonna happen.
I want to try this!!!! I can't, to save my life, locate /purchase/ this...help! I've just had my 60th bday
Look forward to these videos every week
Your passion for amanita muscaria is interesting! I would love to send you photos of the ones I found last year that were absolutely incredible in size. The biggest was close to 30cm in diameter.
I've found some as large if not larger than dinner plates.
I fully understand depression, and I fully understand living with SSRI's for 20 years, and I fully understand that Amanita Muscaria in low doses of decarbed water extract has allowed me to escape depression and SSRIs for 18 months now. Dr. Baba Masha has a lot of success stories like mine in her book.
I know former junkies who used mushrooms to get clean. It worked for everyone who tried it.
No one had recurrences of the cravings. They are here to help humanity.
I did some that looked like a tree fungus that was made out of marshmallow fluff that bled this fluid that looked like concentrated prune juice and when it dried it looked like gold leaf and it bruised purple. There was like eight people that took it and we all had a great trip never seen again or heard of anything else like this.
You and 7 other people ate a random mushroom that you had no idea what it was? Sounds like a good way to die...stay safe out there
Great video! I wonder if Yellen was tipped off by Xi to meet the little people and she apparently really loved the trip, lol. I'd love to hear more about people's experiences on the Blue Boletes.. Also, I'm interested now to learn more about those "Ghost Flowers". I had to look them up already because I was trying to understand how they can grow without chlorophyll, since all plants use chlorophyll to convert energy from the Sun into food for them to grow. It turns out that the Ghost Flower is parasitic and feeds off of a close by plant for it's energy to grow. Thanks for the video
I have a yellow mushroom, skinny stem (to3inches) that sprouted from the potting soil I bought. Sprouts over n over again. Fantastic!
I'd be interested in this channel talking about psilomethoxin mushrooms and how mushrooms are able to absorb certain chemicals
No, that doesn't work. A myth.
I love when you go outside and forage on cam it’s super helpful
That is awesome to hear- I hope to do more of it!!
Yup, my favorite!
Awesome! I love to learn about fungi👍
Very interesting video!
Thanks for watching!
At least here in Finland, the basic bright red amanita is super common every year. At some point it feels like it's impossible to walk 5 minutes without seeing at least a few, or a few dozen when they are in season. They seem to like the well tended patches of grass on the sides of roads, so I guess that might lead to a false sense of abundance when walking along the pavements next to them but it really feels like they are everywhere at a certain point in autumn.
Same here in Germany. It grows in our garden every year also in autumn.
You should gather them and despence them to all who would pay.
I'm first in line lol
U should collect them and package them for those willing to pay.. you'd make
A Large profit from them.
Seriously... Mucho de Niro
Finland is full of amanita muscaria, but liberty caps seem to more rare. Raoul Duke here dude 🤙
I found hundreds of big bright red amanita muscaria last year in a birch wood, they were everywhere you looked, 5-10 under every tree. Would be interesting to see if it's the same this year.
Where about were you when you came across these amanita miscaria?
@@systemicxdesignnow that'd be telling, but he gave you a clue in saying birch wood.😉
@@lifesagamesobeawinner I too had found a large patch of Aminita muscaria a few years back while traversing the North Coast of California
And they were dinner plate sized mushrooms
Of which I ate one without letting it dry out. I ended up with a really bad tummy ache and a bizarre high unlike I've ever had before . I still have a big bag of mushrooms around here somewhere that should be totally dried out by now lol
@@lifesagamesobeawinner it's not as though birchwood grows only in one place.
The thesis of the seven year cycle is interesting. Although, having a dry summer and a heavy steady rain probably made them more prolific.
Amanita Jacksonii is the yellow one you spotted ,nice finds.
My partner has described these mushrooms to me before. In her explination it sounds like the hallucinations are unplesent and can make you feel quite sick. It's so strange all the stories mention the little people. (btw xiao is pronounced differently; you will have to look up tongue positioning because we don't have the sound in English).
Chiouwww
Isnt it pronounced Show? Like a show you watch?
@@tawkinhedznot exactly but sorta, it’s definitely more of an S
I just had my first TRIP a few days ago. They were the Albino rollercoaster variety and it was good.
Even today I am a lot less shy and on my way to a better balance.
I get social anxiety so I feel that
Welcome to the psychedelic community
@@triple_gem_shining thank you.
They will save the world
There's Amanita muscaria all over the place around here, in colors from pale yellow to deep red and brown-red. It's not year round, but they are everywhere there's a pine stand. I don't trust the ones around here.
We have oyster mushrooms, too, but it's a race to get them before the deer leave nothing but woody stumps all over the place. Sitting out at 4AM in mild drizzle isn't good for arthritis, but it's worth it.
Same thing here in Ms. I'm scared of them too.
I just ordered capsules and I am looking forward to trying them.
The most common magic mushroom around my area is gymnopilus junonious. Very easy to identify, very huge and VERY, VERY bitter. Not too strong, takes a few ounces for a good dose but some mushrooms can weigh an ounce or more wet. I also found a pluteus that stained blue and I was wondering if it was active. At the time it wasn’t listed as “active” later in the year a study came to show that it was an active mushroom and I couldn’t find anymore after that. Lol.
@@LordLugard-tw7zf I’m sorry but I’m not too trusting of random people who openly comment that they have illicit drugs on the internet lol it’s hard to spend your hard earned cash on what is possibly either a sting operation or just a scam. I’m not saying you’d personally do either just that it’s a big deal.
It sounds a lot like the weird hallucinations you get from deliriants like scopolamine. You should probably proceed with great caution if you are thinking about trying it.
I live in NW Pennsylvania and yeah, Aminita has been fruiting prolifically. Ghost pipe too has been popping
love the show!
My absolute favorite mushroom of all time (culinary) is the cornflower bolete, which is an intensely blue staining mushroom, they are big and never infested with bugs. Super meaty and delicious.
When you cook the mushroom all of the blue color is destroyed. Maybe the next one I find I'll just eat some raw or dried, at worst I get a tummy ache.😂
I did not now of this gyroporus cyanesens before cornflower bolete. I have eaten raw baorangia bicolor recently and there not psychoactive to me. They are also a blue staining bolete. Somewhat tasty. The polypore has such a different texture.
@@skepticalgenious I also find a lot of the bicolor and frostii boletes, they are good but can be quite a pain in the butt because they trap sand as they fruit causing a bit of displeasure when consuming them.
Micro dosing magic mushrooms has changed my life. And I can’t find the word’s to express how grateful I am to be able to walk into a psilocybin cafe and legally purchase 300 mg gummy’s and drop 2 into a delicious hot lemon tea and enjoy my day. To experience joy again. I’ve said goodbye to coffee,alcohol, cigarettes and no more salt. 5 days on 2 days off for 2 years with box breathing,meditation and Buddhism.
If anyone reads this I wish you happiness good health and prosperity.
Uh.. "No more salt"?
You will die if you do not consume any salt.
but a little bit crack smoking here and there doesnt hurt
Love Boulder. They decriminalized possession and use just before I left the us
Oh wow, youre so original, Amanita muscaria is your favorite, along with everyone else that doesnt have an original thought of their own lol
Someone on my local montana foraging group just posted these, they bruise blue just like the psilocybin mushrooms do, however no active alkaloids.
Locals say One of the Leccinums around L. insigne.
Edible thoroughly cooked
In my experience, the blue staining Boletes tended to be very bitter making
them unpalatable. Never have I heard of a psychedelic Bolete whatsoever.
^^^ this
Neoboletus luridiformis is one of the best tasting mushrooms imo, also stains blue, not a hint of bitterness.
I have. Ate em raw and felt classic profound life changing psilocybin trip.
do not contain psilocybin, yet apparently have psychoactive properties
@@xxersion3335from what I have learned is that psychedelics can come from many thing's. Even such experiences that would be terrible to some. Salvia divinorum has a akaloid that is a antagonist. It can be made 5x/10x/ and up in potency.
Or mimosa julibrusia has a 5meo-dimethyltriptamine which is also psychedelic. So there are many thing's and complex compounds, acids and plant's that can alter such things. A further explanation into what do we mean psychedelic would be needed to further the explanation. And of course only that which I have learned. For I know nothing basically.
I've eaten those mushrooms in Yunnan several times. At the time, I couldn't find much info on it so I didn't try it raw because I was concerned about any other toxins in it--like eating an uncooked A. muscaria. I heard all the anecdotes too so it was very intriguing. There is a phenomenon called "Yunnan Sudden Death Syndrome" or something. I think it was only linked to bad mushroom picking practices 5-10 years ago, so I was not gonna tempt fate unless I had clear info from a sober and sane person with a PhD next to their name and years of mycological experience.
If the maker of this video is reading this and looking to connect with a true Yunnan mycological expert, PM me. I know one that used to work at the Kunming Institute of Botany.
Nice to read a relevant comment amongst the rest of these comments
@@Happy_Spatula Lol...thanks. Relevant comments are hard to come by these days.
MAD INTERESTING !
cooool. whats the best for laughing and getting visuals without any upset stomach issues?
It’s definitely possible there’s so many different mushrooms and plants we just haven’t discovered yet.
I know a place in Colorado that is like a 10 mile hike up a mountain and I can literally get pounds of amanita if I want them some of them are as big as a volleyball!
The most I have ever seen is just up the pass from Telluride in Colorado, so I believe you!
I know people that have searched for the “Rocky Mountain red spotted” mushroom back in the 70’s. Supposed to be wildly psychoactive.
Truth
I threw out some mycelium in my yard in Texas summer where it's dry AF and hasn't rained in ages and I barely watered that area and mushrooms still found a way (two mushrooms weighing 40 grams, with split caps from the lack of humidity but still they grew)
Dear Tony - thanks for all great you doing, for mushrooms and Earth and mankind :)
I wonder did you ever heard about this.... In Carlos Castaneda books don Juan speaks about some mushrooms which are smoked, and he call it the greatest Ally of all, which can show us everything... And I wonder what mushroom it could be? Did anyone for seriously investigate this? I know that Amanita citrina, which is quite common in Poland where I live, contain bufotenin, which is inactive oral, but active when smoked in high temperatures, like in Yopo seeds. I also never heard about anyone trying to smoke Amanita citrina.... but I plan to try this during this autumn, when I hope I found that mushroom. If, I will share with you my experiences. :) Maybe don Juan spoked about Amanita citrina. Blessing to You my friend! All the best! In Poland Amanita muscaria and pantherina gatherings has just began, quite late cause of very dry summer.
