Exotic Psilocybin Mushroom Species Reviews Part II: Descriptives (some spoilers)
Some subjective descriptive words describing my experience with a variety of psilocybin mushroom species
This is Part II of my Exotic Psilocybin Mushroom Species Reviews. This post contains a list of descriptive words I associate with each species.
Disclaimer: these are my subjective experiences and my opinions. They should not be, in any way, taken as fact or a guarantee that you will have a similar experience to mine. My experiences are also not in any way scientific. Dosages varied wildly, I’ve eaten some species more often than others, and I gained experience with tripping in general as I progressed from one species to the next.
Warning: if you want to experience these mushrooms free of expectations, proceed with caution. Psychedelics are highly influenced by set and setting, and this includes what kind of experience you expect to have from a particular substance.
Below is a list of words I associate with each species. This section is chronological in the order I experienced each species for the first time. The words are ordered loosely from lower dose experiences first to higher dose experiences last.
Ps. cubensis (up to 4 grams Golden Teacher): calm, peaceful, therapeutic, groovy, confusing, uncomfortable, opening, overwhelming, emotional, empathetic, hazy, forgettable
Ps. ochraceocentrata (up to 1.5 grams, roughly as potent as 3 grams cubensis fruits): vibing, mindfuck, visual, zesty, opinionated, wacky, happy, powerful, musical, connection, communion, sensory overload
