What are magic mushrooms like?
there is no real way to say it just really really fun i love magic mushrooms i buy them from my dude all the time they may be bad taste but that's because they come off of cow feces or however you spell it.
From my personal experience: Mushrooms start to make you pretty happy sometime after you munch 'em down, usually around half an hour later but sometimes it only takes 15 minutes or less. The mushroom trip itself is a slow climb up to the peak intensity of the drug, which lasts for a nice little while, followed by the unwilling (and slow) drop back down to sobriety. You get a sort of giddy feeling in the back of your neck and a fun feeling in your chest. It gets a slightly harder to breathe. Nothing serious, in about a dozen 4-gram-or-less doses I've done so far, but you find yourself taking big sighs every once in awhile, and you know you're on mushrooms. Your pupils get HUGE, and you kinda look like mickey mouse in that respect. Stare in the mirror and be prepared to giggle. I lose my appetite on mushrooms, and eating just feels... weird. Take enough mushrooms, anything over 2 grams, and I'll wager you're gonna have a big smile on your face that you can't get rid of. (You probably don't want to be walking through the shopping mall on mush) I'm sure everyone's different, but for me, mushrooms are not a social drug. Doing mushrooms is a chance to explore who and what you are on the deepest levels, as you explore your own psyche and the new perceptions you've become aware of. Personally, sitting in front of a TV or a computer screen just doesn't feel right on mushrooms. Wander around outside and trip out. Say hello to the rug's topography. The texture of any carpet always moves when I'm on mushrooms. Some surfaces and textures seem to 'breathe', others may have an icy, spiderweb-like glaze over them.
Eat mushrooms on an empty stomach for the best effect, but beware of 'gutrot' which some people complain of, though I've never gotten an upset stomach from eating them. Mushrooms with a blueish tint to them seem to be the most 'magical'. Take at least 2 grams, but keep it under 4 grams if you're doing it for the first time. You don't want to freak yourself out, with either, what you may see, or the breathing thing. Doing mushrooms if you have asthma seems like it could be a really bad idea. Doing mushrooms too much will start to mess up your mind, and some people say they can make you go paranoid. Peace.
How do you prepare canned mushrooms?
It depends on what you are cooking them for. If you are cooking for a steak, you should drain them and fry them in oil or butter. After they are starting to brown, add onion and fry for 5 minutes. Add bbq sauce and simmer for another 5 minutes and you are ready to go.
If you are cooking for pasta such as fettuccine, again, drain them and fry them in oil or butter. as they brown, use a flipper or something with a sharp edge to chop them into smaller pieces so they blend with the pasta sauce better. Just before serving, add some dried oregano to taste.

Do you have to cook mushrooms?
Yes.
*All* varieties of mushrooms should be cooked before eating them. Yes, this does include button mushrooms, the ones commonly found raw on salads.
According to Dr. Weil:
Mushrooms have very tough cell walls and are essentially indigestible if you don't cook them. Thoroughly heating them releases the nutrients they contain, including protein, B vitamins, and minerals, as well as a wide range of novel compounds not found in other foods...
But there are other reasons to cook your mushrooms. Raw mushrooms contain small amounts of toxins, including some compounds that are considered carcinogens. These are destroyed by cooking them thoroughly. Broiling or grilling is best.
And Dr. Fuhrman:
Avoid Uncooked Mushrooms
It's important to remember that mushrooms should only be eaten cooked. Several raw culinary mushrooms contain a potentially carcinogenic substance called agaritine, and cooking mushrooms significantly reduces their agaritine content.
How poisonous are magic mushrooms?
You would need to eat more than half of your body weight in magic mushrooms to physically overdose on them, so that is physically impossible.
On the other side, it is very well possible to psychologically overdose on them, and have a trip that is far from pleasant and really overwhelming. Some people are looking for that kind of disturbing experiences and will consciously ingest lots of mushrooms, but most people are simply not ready for this.
If you want to explore your psyche, you will be able to increase the dose slowly as you gain experience. Test your response to each dose, and stop when it's too much. Don't push yourself to insanity.

7) Once you found your morels, visit an extension office to inspect your morels to make sure you didn't get the false morels that can make you ill or can possibly be fatal.
