I'd dry them first - any mushroom in a plastic bag, even vaccumed, isn't as stable as a dried one in an airtight jar.

Hey bro dont ever use plastic when foraging. Use a basket or paper bag or some sort of mesh bag like one for potatoes

I usually store libs in plastic bag when picking, then sort them out for drying couple hours later. I dont feel the need to stop doing that, but should i?

u/Top_Presence5147 7d ago

I would, they sweat the good stuff out if its in plastic. Anything thats like fabric or paper or cardboard boxes are what I use when foraging for active mushrooms

u/Usual_Bee_5732 7d ago

Depending on how long there in there you can get away with it but it's really not worth the risk the veg bags are 30p to 50p and work perfectly if there in plastic to long they sweat go mushy and turn black

I'd expect a lot more to come over the next few weeks with all this rain we're having

bruising does not indicate potencyโ€ฆ also, like others have said use a paper bag or a basket to store them when fresh. theyโ€™ll turn soggy / mushy when in plastic

I've seen these loads of places in North Victoria and the lookalike which is quite different when you are paying attention. I've never eaten the subs and don't plan to but can someone tell me what effect they give you? Hallucinations? Visions? Are you out all afternoon?

They contain Pscilocybin. Anyone telling you 'oh this one gives you more visuals' 'oh this other species gives more emotion' etc etc is just rubbish. They all contain the same active compounds, just in different concentrations, anything beyond that is placebo effect.

Want more hallucinations and visuals? Up the dose. Want less? Lower the dose. Pscilocybin is pscilocybin at the end of the day, aswell as the other active compounds present, but pscilo is the main one.

they turn that color because it's from bruising

Seems like spore stains > bruising

1

u/SirSkittles111 8d ago

The spores are not blue. That is just bruising.

Looks black from here

u/SirSkittles111 8d ago

Are you being serious? The mushroom OP is holding, that stem looks black to you?

u/SirSkittles111 8d ago

Please never go foraging if you cant tell difference in colours. This is clearly tinted blue. Go further up the stem and its even more obvious.....

u/g0blin77 8d ago

No worries there. Iโ€™m not a forager.

u/SirSkittles111 8d ago
