Are magic mushrooms legal in Ohio?
If you are looking to eat magic mushrooms you should really look into them first. If you eat a bad one or the wrong kind it could lead to sever illness or even death. There is NO cure for shroom poising.
Now I'm not here to say don't do shrooms because I do them myself and they are one of the most safest drugs to do. This is only true if you are close to 100% sure you have the right kind and you don't take to much. Do not let them get moldy,dark, etc. this means they are bad.
Get a field guide or some kind of book that can tell you which kind is which.

Effects on the fetus by taking magic mushrooms?
The active compounds Psilocybin and Psylocin in magic mushrooms are not poisons. The reason you trip has nothing to do with being poisoned as you may experience from a very bad fever from a virus etc. The experience from the ingestion has more to do with what effect those chemicals have with your brains functioning. Those chemicals are very similar to various serotonin receptors in the brain. Its unclear why people experience what they do, but it has to do with various serotonin parts of the brain being excited etc.
I wouldn't ever recommend a pregnant women to take any sort of drug as there's not any research to show either way so play it safe.
1 thing to bear in mind is that a woman's reproductive system has methods of filtering out foreign elements, viruses and bacteria. For example a pregnant women infected with HIV for instant will not necessarily transmit it to the unborn baby.
But no one knows whether these compounds would or would not be passed down to the child and what effect it would have.
From what we do know, the actives contained with magic mushrooms are less toxic than paracetamol and do very little if no damage at all to an adult person. The only dangers are psychological, or in extreme cases allergic reaction.
What are the physical effects of magic mushrooms?
In the case of mushrooms "overdose" is completely relative to the person; what may be just right for one person can be way too much for another depending on experience, personal brain chemistry, and disposition. The lethal dose is far more than any one person is going to eat or could even possibly consume in a sitting. In the sense of taking a dose greater than desired, the effects are going to vary between people and dosages. Someone who is simply having an overly intense experience may become highly detached from reality, paranoid, scared, and act highly illogically if they don't feel they can handle the experience, but it depends on the persons mental composure in general, current mindset, and environment. At higher doses a person may involuntarily externalize an internal monologue, get stuck in thought loops, lose normal conscious thought (subconscious remains) or even consciousness all together, for example. These things aren't good or bad in nature themselves, but can be profoundly powerful effects that can come as quite a surprise (anything is possible, these are just things i have experienced) if never encountered before. For many people that have experienced it, an overdose of mushrooms is actually incredibly positive if they can learn to cope with it, "go with the flow", and provided they can actually remember it. The first time anyone takes a large dose it's going to feel like an "overdose" at some point because you have never seen anything even on the same scale of intensity before. The substance itself has a very high effective dose to lethal dose ratio(~1:1000) especially when compared to alcohol, nicotine, or even Tylenol, which can all easily cause organ damage and death at relatively low levels compared to the effective doses used.

Why are mushrooms important on the planet?
They help the decomposition process, like worms, insects, and bacteria.
How do you kill the growth of mushrooms in mulch?
There would be two ways to do this, possibly three, depending on how keen you are.
Firstly, since mushrooms are a fungus you can get fungicides from shops that sell garden chemicals which will control them. This is of course if you want to use a chemical method.
Secondly, if you use an artificial fertilizer (an NPK type like superphosphate) this will both feed the lawn and kill the mushrooms as they don't like artificial fertilizers (nor do worms either, so you will possibly kill them as well).
Thirdly, the most natural and organic method is to hand pick them out. This will only need to be done for a short period as they only grow when the conditions are right, neither too hot or too cold.
What are the components in magic mushrooms?
The active ingredient in 'magic' mushrooms or 'shrooms' is a psycho-active substance called psilocybin. It occurs naturally when rye is subjected to alot of moisture which makes these fungi grow on the plant, they call this form 'argot'. It may also grow in cow feces or in a darker parts of a forest (under the right circumstances). This psilocybin was also synthesized in a lab in 1938 by Albert Hofman at the Sandoz Pharmaceutical lab in Switzerland. This form is known as L.S.D. or Lysergic Acid Diethylamide. L.S.D. unlike the rest of these substances can be absorbed through the skin. Argot and mushrooms can be handled more safely. Hofman found this out first hand, when he accidentally ingested 200 micrograms of it, through his pores on his hands. Needless to say he saw the medicinal effects and/or the psycho-active benefits. The Swiss government funded his research for the drug and many other counties were researching its effects in controlled settings. It was made illegal in the drug act of 1972.
Ergot or 'argot' does not contain psilocybin, nor was LSD synthesized from it. The main active ingredient in most magic mushrooms is psilocybin, although there is usually two other triptamine alkoids present as well, psilocin and baeocystin although psilocybin is metabolized into psilocin when ingested.
Can you eat mushrooms with one kidney?
not directly. i mean, if you stay awake for days binging on drugs in general and don't eat or drink for a few days, then yeah, maybe.
but not if you eat the shrooms one time and then fall asleep the way 100 percent of users do.
Magic Mushrooms or Psilocybe varieties grow globally in temperate regions.Within the UK,the Liberty Cap (or Psilocybe semilanceata ) is most common and can be found anywhere during Autumn from parks & gardens to open fields & woodland.A very successful area to find them is on land where sheep & cattle graze... BUT please beware,in the UK,possession of this fungi,even in its 'fresh' state is now a criminal offence.They contain psilocybin,a 'natural' LSD and formerly it was OK to have these mushrooms in your possession providing you didn't cultivate,dry or prepare them.However,in 2005 government forces decided to reclassify this to A Class A drug (like Crack Cocaine Heroin,etc.) with a maximum penalty of Life for supply & 7 years for possession.
