  1. You would be surprised how common your question is and how very few people really know much about mushrooms..

    I would not recommend that you eat any sort of mushrooms that you can't identify(obviously besides ones you buy at a veggie store).

    Basically in mushrooms(the magic ones) the active ingredient (the one that makes you high) is a poison which your body reacts with and makes you feel spaced out..

    Now thats all ok assuming you have taken the true magic mushroom..

    There are various types of mushrooms that are similair in look and coloring and have various levels of poison in them and therefore you need to know what you are taking or you could end up in the hospital.

    So saying all that the main rules of taking mushrooms are:

    1) Never take what you don't know

    2) Always take them around people you are comfortable with and are capable of looking after you if trouble arises

    3) Know your limitations

    Rule number 1 being the most important , don't take chances because the outcome could turn out to be more than you bargained for..

    To get rid of them dig them out..


  2. A lot of what you see in your yard are toad stools and a lot of them are poisonous.  Stay away from any form of ingesting them!

  3. lol!! no they cant!!

    the only shrooms that can get u high are the ones that grow on cow p**p.

    so i suggest u to go to a farm with a lot of cows.

    hahaha


  4. Most "backyard Mushrooms" are toadstools, some of which are poisonous. The only ones that I know of that will get you high are (I,m not sure of the spelling) psyllicibum, I know the spelling is wrong, but they only grow in the western U.S. Texas for example, usually near cow manure. You can be prosicuted in Texas if caught picking them. I would be very afraid of any backyard varieties, however Morels which are delicious and safe sometimes grow under fruit trees in yards.Go to Michigan Morels.com to identify the morel.If you really want to get high on mush rooms see your local illegal drug dealer.Sometimes a hallucinigenic experience that lasts too long can be terrifying.I don't know about the health risks.I can't tell you what to do. You'll make that decision.

  5. Back yard mushrooms in Australia are the ones that you should prepare to throw in the rubbish bin not in the cooking pot. Most are extremely poisonous. Some that grow around Melbourne have no antidote and people have been taken to hospital - only for doctors to have them die that because they couldn't do anything to save them. The poison in those mushrooms is so fatal.

    I hope that these sites are of use to you in determining that mushrooms – particularly those found in the wild – are not very often safe to cook and eat. As for getting high on them - you could very well regret that you ever tried. I don't want to spoil your fun but I wouldn't if I were you.

    Cheers!!!


  6. Maybe, maybe not but they can kill you or make you very, very sick.  As another responder said, we can't make the decision for you.  Make sure you have a phone handy for that 911 call.  

  7. the mushrooms that get you high grow in cow patties.  The ones in your back yard are poisonous.  Do not take them.  There are many berries and flowers, etc.  that are also poisonous.  So do not eat anything unless you know it is safe.  Also, tripping on shrooms or anything else is not a good use of your time or your body.  I'm just sayin'.   There are more constructive things you could be  doing.

  8. your all ready hi you wrote my insteed of me  

  9. SOME BACKYARD MUSHROOMS CAN MAKE YOU VERY SICK, AS THEY ARE POISONOUS, BUT  MAYBE NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO GET YOU TO HEAVEN

  10. They are very potent and will give you a very bad trip...of diarrhea.
