Supposing one were to decide to grow shrooms, and wanted to know
|
||
|
|
which would be the best kinds for growing, both in jars, and
|
||
|
|
naturally in one's own area.. here's the general ideas about
|
||
|
|
a few of the different types that I have come up with from my
|
||
|
|
knowledge; it would be really nice if people could add on to
|
||
|
|
this list:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
p. baeocystis -- the "potent" psilocybe, grows in the pacific
|
||
|
|
northwest.. I'd guess that this would be really good to get but
|
||
|
|
I'm not sure how easy it would be to grow. I also read that
|
||
|
|
besides being si
|
||
|
|
slightly hallucinogenic, it *might* be poisonnous -- but the
|
||
|
|
author was unsure. Perhaps, though, the amount of poisonous
|
||
|
|
chemicals would have no effect because it is so potent in
|
||
|
|
psilocybin/psilocin that you'd need to take more than enough
|
||
|
|
to get a strong trip before you ingested enough poison.. that's
|
||
|
|
just a guess, though -- I really know very little about this
|
||
|
|
kind and I'd like to see what others know.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
p. coprophelia -- supposedly very week as far as the psilocybes
|
||
|
|
go, but a source I read said that it was the species that was
|
||
|
|
the most widespread in North America. I'd assume it would be
|
||
|
|
easy to grow.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
p. cubensis -- grows in many places, and its seasons are all
|
||
|
|
year round. Perhaps it is these growing conditions that makes
|
||
|
|
it the most common, and sold in mushroom kits more often than
|
||
|
|
any other type (actually, the only one I know about coming
|
||
|
|
from kits)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
they also grow relatively large.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
p. semilanceata -- "Liberty caps" I read a file from ftp.hmc.edu
|
||
|
|
where one person's friend said that they were, out of all the
|
||
|
|
types he had tried, his favorite variety. He also said that
|
||
|
|
most people who tried this variety tended to have visuals of
|
||
|
|
mushrooms..... hmm.. is this just some weird coincedince?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
p. montana -- this seems to grow better in less humid, cooler
|
||
|
|
climates, in comparison to the others. But it also looked like
|
||
|
|
it was common across the U.S. in a field guide that I read.
|
||
|
|
"Chiefly sandy soils in woods, heaths" -- anyone know about
|
||
|
|
the potency?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do not assume that I grow or would grow mushrooms because I
|
||
|
|
don't take big risks -- but I just thought that people would
|
||
|
|
be interested in what I know, and I certainly would be
|
||
|
|
interested in more info on this because I have friends who
|
||
|
|
are interested in growing shrooms, although they haven't grown
|
||
|
|
any yet. I think there are a lot of people out there who
|
||
|
|
would probably be interested in what kinds would be wild in
|
||
|
|
their area, how to get them and grow them, how potent different
|
||
|
|
varieties are, and how to identify the variety that they just
|
||
|
|
bought so they kno dosages (hmm.. that's difficult because it's
|
||
|
|
probably hard to identify dried shrooms) ...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If only shrooms were legal we wouldn't have to worry about
|
||
|
|
ingesting unkown quantities, picking poisonous shrooms, and
|
||
|
|
getting caught... :(
