Nice pickings. Which variety are they?
A friend of mine recently found a huge flush of P. Cyanescens and gifted me a dry half-ounce. He showed me photos, and I was almost drooling. They are quite potent, just a gram will bring a level 2 experience.
I tried them as my usual 200mg microdose, and I was buzzing a bit so I will drop it down to maybe 100-150. Maybe I will try a half gram lemon-tek this weekend just to see where it takes me, but my real interest is in micro.
Hey bud!
The variety is Psilocybe Semilanceata often referred to as "Liberty caps" in the UK.
They are one of the strongest Psilocybin mushroom but P. Cyanescens is the king of psychedelic psilocybin mushrooms and hold the crown for being the strongest Psilocybin mushrooms!
Distribution of Psilocybe semilanceata (copied from wikipedia)
Psilocybe semilanceata the world's most widespread psilocybin mushroom species, as it has been reported on 17 countries. In Europe,
P. semilanceata has a widespread distribution, and is found in Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, the
Channel Islands, Czech republic, Denmark, Estonia, the
Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom, Ukraine and Pakistan. It is generally agreed that the species is native to Europe; Watling has demonstrated that there exists little difference between specimens collected from Spain and Scotland, at both the morphological and genetic level.
The mushroom also has a widespread distribution in North America. In Canada it has been collected from British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Ontario and Quebec. In the United States, it is most common in the Pacific Northwest, west of the Cascade Mountains, where it fruits abundantly in autumn and early winter; fruiting has also been reported to occur infrequently during spring months. Charles Horton Peck reported the mushroom to occur in New York in the early 20th century, and consequently, much literature published since then has reported the species to be present in the eastern United States. Gaston Guzman later examined Peck's herbarium specimen, and in his comprehensive 1983 monograph on Psilocybe, concluded that Peck had misidentified it with the species now known as Panaeolina foenisecii. P. semilanceata is much less common in South America, where it has been recorded in Chile. It is also known in Australia (where it may be an introduced species) and New Zealand, where it grows in high-altitude grasslands. In 2000, it was reported from Golaghat, in the Indian state of Assam. P.semilanceata is also found in Kodaikanal hill region in the state of Tamil Nadu, India.
