It's possible that too high a dose of psilocybin could lead to a catatonic state but there is nothing in literature about black outs. How much are you taking? If you are taking relatively small amounts, it's likely your body is telling you something and you've made the right decision to stop. If you are taking large amounts (4 or 5 grams dried or more), it may be that your dose is just too high.

No. Psilocybin mushrooms are not toxic. The National Institute For Occupational Safety And Heath (NIOSH) in the US Psilocybin (641) is rated less toxic than Aspirin (199) and Nicotine (21). However, the main danger is in mistakenly picking poisonous, non-magic mushrooms. Do not gather mushrooms unless you know what you are doing. You can find a guide here

Psilocybin content varies widely from species to species and from mushroom to mushroom. There are no hard and fast rules regarding dosage. As a rough guide, however, a medium dose is equivalent to three grams dried, or 30 grams fresh. First time, aim low. You can always increase the amount another time, but you can't undo a far-too-large dose. Be wary of over-confidence. Each psychedelic trip is different and each level of the experience has its own intensity and pitfalls.

No - it doesn't work. High temperatures destroy psilocybin, the active ingredient. Plans for that 'magic pizza', 'magic soup' or 'magic omelette' should be shelved.

No, I'm just an individual with an entrepreneurial spirit. And I definitely want profit. Lots of it. If it makes you feel any better, at this moment in time I can honestly say that the Serial Beggar is an un-profitable operation. I know you are the right type of person who will do your bit to help me change this as quickly as possible.

Technically between 3 to 5 months after use, but psilocybin is not usually tested for in standard (cannabis, cocaine, amphetamines, opiates, PCP) or advanced drugs tests (barbituriates, benzodiazepines like Valium). You can find detail drug tests info here http://www.erowid.org/psychoactives/testing/testing_info1.shtml

Difficult to say. Growing conditions, age, and species can all affect the amounts of psilocybin and psilocin in mushrooms. Psilocin breaks down easily and doesn't survive the drying process. Psilocybin is much hardier (it survived over 115 years in one tested sample). Psycho activity depends on the ratios of the two in the mushrooms, which varies from species to species.

Only fresh 'liberty cap' magic mushrooms (psilocybe semilanceata) are legal in the UK because they are indigenous to the UK. Taking them over the a border or bringing them from another country is, however, illegal.

If you use sawdust spawn and follow a god watering regimen, our multi-range strains will finish the spawn run in as little as 6 months. You may see some mushrooms in the fall if you inoculated in the early spring. The first major " flush" happens generally the following spring.

After about 1 or 2 weeks, pinheads will start to develop. Pinheads are baby mushrooms. Once pinheads appear, mushrooms will develop quickly. When the veil of the mushroom cap starts to tear away from the stem the mushroom can be harvested. Harvest by gently twisting the mushroom at the base of the stem and remove it from the cake. Handle the harvested mushrooms carefully to minimize damage. Start drying fresh mushrooms immediately after harvesting.

The questions people ask about their dog's sometimes mystifying behaviour, and other answers you just want to know. What is Neutering and what does it do? Description and side effects of this surgical sterilization process.

There are snakes, tarantellas and scorpions. It is the black scorpion that is deadly and they are not found in the Yucatan. The tarantalas is not lethal unless you are allergic to its bite. In the water you have to be careful not to step on a sea urchin or stingray tail. Also watch out for jellyfish which move about slowly.

There are many insects that deliver a venomous bite, but the harvester ant is considered to be among the most poisonous of all insects. For information on other poisonous insects, check out ThinkQuest's Poisonous Plants and Animals web site.

Two families of venomous snakes are native to the United States. The vast majority are pit vipers, of the family Crotalinae, which include rattlesnakes, copperheads and cottonmouths (water moccasins). About 99 percent of the venomous bites in this country are from pit vipers. The other family of domestic poisonous snakes is Elapidae, which includes two species of coral snakes found chiefly in the Southern states.

We’d like to but it is very difficult to do without specimens; verbal descriptions rarely suffice. If the identification is important to you consult your local library, especially a college or university library, for references used to identify the native or horticultural plants of your area. Illustrations, either photos or line drawings, can be most helpful.

Cluster is not the only thing associated with malfunctioning 5HT1-D receptors (also, some antidepressants target 5ht1a & 5ht2 receptors, as mushrooms do). BACKGROUND: Brain serotonin (5-HT) function is abnormal in major depression, but the involvement of different 5-HT receptor subtypes has been little studied. The availability of selective ligands now makes it possible to test the sensitivity of 5-HT(1D) receptors in patients with depression.

You may gather small quantities of branches, pine cones etc. for personal use. You may NOT gather large quantities of wood for firewood that is not to be used on site or gather other items in the forest which may affect wildlife habitat.

Mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of fungi, many of which are involved in the breakdown process of dead and decaying organic matter in the soil. In this sense then, they are beneficial and do not harm your living garden plants. Another large group of fungi, named "mycorrhizal," are also beneficial; living on the roots of trees and shrubs, helping these higher plants absorb nutrients from the soil. In turn, the woody plants supply carbohydrates to the fungi.
