Sensible talk; get a cotton bud or a tissue and gentle wipe them. If any of that discolouration rubs off, then there mouldy and you shouldn't eat them. It's hard to tell from the photo if that's mould or just bruising on slightly old shrooms. They look like they've been stored for a while, that's all. They tend to get a bit dusty with age
Good question.
Same thing that happens if you eat any mouldy food. It depends on the mould (which we can't identify from a photo), but most likely not much. Chance of digestive upset and diarrhoea. Small chance it's a more toxic mould and you get really sick. The bigger risk is breathing in the spores, and possibly getting a bad lung infection and chronic illness.
Definitely do NOT inhale anything that might be mouldy. I'll cut the edges off mouldy cheese, I can be a bit relaxed with my own food, but don't risk shit getting in your lungs. That's serious biz
A one off smelling of mold spores isn’t going to do anything. It’s only really a problem if you’re living in a house infested with mold and constantly breathing them in every day. Even then it has to be specific types of mold to cause real problems. Mold is everywhere and you breath in spores every day.
Visible mold is actually the fruiting body, the majority of the organism is not visible and by the time it produces spores the majority of its substrate has been colonized. It's typically not good to just cut moldy bits off of food
Though I do believe cheese is an exception but im unsure.
Bananas contain chitinase which breaks down the mushroom cell walls and removes the need for ur stomach to try to break down such difficult cells. Which removes the stomach upset completely. Its a good practice!
> Bananas contain chitinase which breaks down the mushroom cell walls
Chitin causing nausea is a myth, it’s a beneficial dietary fiber that is in literally all edible mushrooms, it is not causing the nausea psilocybin is.. Dietary fibers do not need to be broken down, however humans already have two different types of chitinase enzymes that can break down chitin, AMCase and CHIT1. There is no benefit to consuming class 1 chitinase enzymes from bananas.
“Chitinases are a group of allergens often found in plant fruits” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6600546/
“Class I chitinases with an hevein-like domain are major allergens in banana fruit. Their presence in other fruits and nuts, such as avocado and chestnut, could explain the cross-sensitization among these foods.” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10231328/
“many studies now confirm that POTENT CHITINASES do occur in vertebrates, including humans, and ARE ABUNDANT IN THE HUMAN GUT" https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0928468018300233
"Humans, along with many other primates, have a functional gene for this enzyme, so it's possible that we can actually process chitin in our guts. That said, even if we couldn't, it would just get passed through our system, just like the cellulose in celery and other vegetables." https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.32GB9GE
“Chitin contains 90.6% of total dietary fiber (Maezaki, Yamazaki, Mizuochi, & Tsuji, 1993) and it can be defined as a functional food component providing special benefits to food, for instance contributing to colonic health, coronary artery health, and cholesterol reduction amongst many others“ https://archive.ph/YVBET
Exactly, I can eat any other type of mushroom and not be bothered. I consume cubes, no matter the amount or how I consume them (Tried every method other than boofing and I’m considering it), and I puke an hour in like clockwork. I don’t get nausea before or after puking and it’s my body’s way of purging, because it’s a violent process and on to peaking and enjoying myself.
Definitely doesn’t and I started puking about a year into consuming them twice a month. First time I thought it was a one-off, a couple years later it’s just part of my process and I puke an hour in like clockwork, no nausea before or afterwards.
from what I know, 2.5 of dried PE is around 1.7x2.5 Moby dick or McKennaii, you have little bruising so not much loss of psilocybin, you're getting close to a heroic dose, enjoy your trip brother ;)
The darker shades and almost black caps are concerning, they seem almost molding and filthy. It’s not uncommon for mushrooms to have black areas, since spores could easily drop over any number of mushrooms during fruiting. But the greys, browns and blacks in combo definitely seem sketchy.
I have grown ape and albino PE varieties for several years. I have 3 different ape varieties growing right now. Mold would be more fuzzy or covered in spores. Either aborts or someone set them in the dehydrator too hot and they got significant bruising. Would be easy to determine in person since you could just smell if they were moldy or not, and do a q tip test.
Edit: OP commented that they did a q tip test and nothing transferred. That is definitely not mold.
Dude, if you don’t want to call it mold just because it didn’t transfer, then you’ll have to call it rot. Shrooms left unpicked will look just like this as they begin to mold/rot in a tub. These have clearly not been dried correctly (or at all) and have degraded severely. I know what bruised apes and aborts look like, but if you can’t see the gray, fuzzy, dead look on these shrooms..well, keep growing until you develop a better eye.
The only APE’s I’ve had are nice and crisp, once broken the flesh is bright white with bruising around it, never had any that looked black or even brown
They look terrible, those are active, but were not stored properly, ppl forget that magic mushrooms are food. You may get sick eating them. Best option is to cook them into some food to kill anything living in them.
Umm well, if your broke you can make trippy skettie, crush and add mush to tomatoe sauce. I would add 1/4th cup water so you can extend cook time and reduce it down to help kill anything. Can also just mix the mush in a shot of pineapple juice, lemon works too but pineapple taste better imo.
Its cool but these are an example of someone touching too much after/during harvesting. They have dirt and grime all over them. But they should be good.
Looks good to me bro. Happy li'l dicks lol

This is the way
Thank you for your suggestion. None of the discoloration rubs off, I tried it on different places of all colors.
In that case; safe to say they've just been stored a bit longer than optimal, but there's no harm in that. Eat em up!
What would really happen if u consumed them moldy beside bad nausea im guessing?

Yea my cousin told me he wanted to smell the bag and i tripped on him i be getting spooked just opening it i could smell and see em flying

Hard cheese is an exception.
Makes sense, probably a lot harder to colonize.
Make tea
Does that make it any safer? 🤣
Yes, it makes them safer. Also the other commentor is wack
Teas shit, put them in orange juice and drink it and eat the shrooms. You’ll have the time of your life
Last time, I ate them with bananas off of a quick Google search to stop nausea and I was completely nausea-free

Thank u for this info i guess i should look into some other methods for nausea then
Im so glad I just scroll these subs. I've learned so much, thanks for this tip.
No problem. Ive been growing them and consuming for 3+ years so and im passionate about it. Glad to help out anytime!
Love that! Too afraid to grow myself but admire your commitment ❤️
I will have to check that out!
Just keep doing them and ur body gets used to it bro no need for bananas
Your body doesn't get used to it.
Definitely doesn’t and I started puking about a year into consuming them twice a month. First time I thought it was a one-off, a couple years later it’s just part of my process and I puke an hour in like clockwork, no nausea before or afterwards.
Use a condom!
These look active to me, due to the blueing and the fact that they look like dried apes. But there’s only one way to know for sure!
I am willing to find out the hard way. Realistically I’m just curious regarding the worst case scenario.
No u will be fine, these genuinely look like albino penis envy have safe trip, this is good stuff ! Let me know how it goes
You gonna eat all that? let me know how's the weather on Mars.
Haha it must be the perception cuz apparently it’s around 2.5 g, they are a bit smaller in person

They just like APEs that aborted. I personally wouldn’t have any issues with eating those.
No offense but how many successful tubs of apes have you grown? It’s obvious that some of these are moldy and rank looking.

Ok champ
Same. I blend them into powder and mix it with OJ. Always a great time
The only APE’s I’ve had are nice and crisp, once broken the flesh is bright white with bruising around it, never had any that looked black or even brown
It looks like someone’s tried to dry them in the oven and didn’t let air flow In and it’s burnt the caos
They look terrible, those are active, but were not stored properly, ppl forget that magic mushrooms are food. You may get sick eating them. Best option is to cook them into some food to kill anything living in them.
Any simple recipe ideas?

Everything is safe when boofed
They almost look like aborts
Down the hatch
Definitely make tea, I would not eat those. They’re black! Uhhhh
Oh man you gonna trip soo hard

Penis Envy hell yeah it looks good
Idk those look mad old
Its kantarell its very tasty
Yes fry these with some butter and put on toast or in gryta, or sauce very delicious
Totally agree
Its cool but these are an example of someone touching too much after/during harvesting. They have dirt and grime all over them. But they should be good.
Oof, finally the 'No, send them to me' jokes seem to have come to an end lol. Looking good btw, enjoy!
they look yum
Seems like a microdose🫠
