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 experiences and my opinions. I have no idea what kind of experience you would have if you ate the same mushrooms as me. 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 psychedelics 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. Psychedelic experiences are highly influenced by set, setting, and expectation.
