Not quite - subaeruginosa prefers native substrates like eucalyptus mulch but its also a huge fan of pinus radiata needles and pine bark. Whereas your american continental species grow pretty much exclusively on hardwood chips and debris - Ps.azurescens and Ps.cyanescens resisted fruiting or even colonising native Australian substrates - got a bit of growth on some pine bark and some rose clippings but that was it. WHen the smoking alder wood chips were spent so was the patch...
LOL - true but in Panama and Costa Rica the purity is beyond anything your ever likely to see here so they can stamp all they could have stomped all they like mate In the carib its a whole different ball game - some of the shit they cut it with there is lethalish.. Hepatitis C is passed from blood to blood contact only. Its generally lifelong and eventually leads to cirrhosis in a small % of sufferers.
well in my case they still arent really sure what is happening with my liver. I went oversease to central america last year and after returning i got pretty sick - first with a recurrance of an old ailment and then a crook guts that wouldnt go away for about a month. Then it seemed to be on the mend, so after some antibiotics had been finished, I got pretty drunk with a mate. The thing was I drank VERY little and got ABSOLUTELY smashed on little over six or so glasses of wine (my normal tolerance is quite high for alcohol). Next day i was yellow and my liver area felt swollen like a balloon and uncomfortable. Wernt to the doctors who immeidately diagnosede me with hep A - despite me having my injection for it. Serum tests came back negative. liver function tests normalised but the uncomfortable swollen feeling comes and goes along with fatigue and general malaise. I was sent to hospital for more tests - provisional diagnosis some other form of acite hep - hep e or something like that. they said they may never know. I used to be a big binge drinker in my youth - settled down a lot nowdays though. off to a specialist in two weeks.
tropicalis as far as i was aware was differentiated from Pan cyanescens based purely on two-spored basidia instead of the classic four-spored variety. A while back Teonan on the shroomery did a major study of collections of Panaeolus cyanescens from a variety of sources and found that the cystidia and basidia variability was massive - the differences in collections would have provided someone like Guzman with an excuse to break cyanescens up into 12 different entities. Im talking differences that were far more pronounced than between Ps cyanescens and azurescens, or more importantly the minor differences between US Ps.cyanescens and our own Ps.subaeruginosa (which are fairly minimal and could all be accounted within one species entity without proper spore compatibility studies). The point is minute cystidial variations do not equate to anything more than phenotype variants. Guzman has over delineated the Psilocybe group. Conclusion: I doubt that Pan Trop or Pan Cambo are actually anything more than phenotypes of Pan cyanescens. peace!
As far as I remember those huge orissas were grown on a SHIT load of SHIT. That is a massive dung substrate that produced those monsters rather than a big flush of average sizers. Dung can do that for any strain.
The issues you are likely to face depend on where you are caught - if you are at all. In WA and sometimes tassie the cops may actively try to catch prospective trippers picking or possessing mushrooms. On the other hand, in Victoria I think you'd be very unlucky to get caught. Subs are prettymuch everywhere at the right time of year and Im always amazed about the level of ignorance that the majority of Melbournians have about them.
Hi guys - since I got back from a recent trip my liver has been shot. Wasnt aware of it until I hit the piss one night and then turned yellow the next few days and got a swollen liver for like three weeks. A few sessions at the quack found the answer - hopefully nothing serious. But while my liver repairs itself slowly Im curious about what I should be avoiding other than the obvious alcohol and Kava? How can I work out what other joys are heavish on the old gut filter??? thanks for any advice you learned people can provide! peace.
A friend used to be quite paranoid but generally didnt suffer from panic of any sort and didnt really seem that anxious either. It was just the way he thought about things - he was intimately aware of all the possibilities of each situation and tended to gravitiate to the more remote results.
There certainly are some dopamine reuptake inhibators. For a start all Norepinephrine reuptake inhibators act by knocking out the NET (Ne Transporter protein) which is responsible for uptake of NE in the synpatic cleft. NET also to a lesser extent is responsible for uptake of dopamine as well. There are also other agents that work purely on dopamine levels. That being said, high dopamine isnt a good thing from what ive read - paranoia??
Think of me as a test case for what substances have particular affinities for norepinephrine tranporters in the synaptic cleft... LSD has one of the biggest affinities... the more popular anti depressants now days have affinities for the same tranporter protein sites - delaying reuptake of norepinephrine.
I should also reiterate that there is a subset of patients of orthostatic intolerance/postural hypotension who have an overly active sympathetic response to dropping blood pressure causing flushing, anxiety, tremors, etc.
not quite on topic - but i remember reading one study where they found that suicide victims have higher methylation rates of genes in their brain matter than normal people.
the three biggest universities in Melb are the three best spots i have ever found for subs. One in particular where I went for many years was mad - 4000 plus patches were quite common. We did some isolation work with a patch up behind it at the wild life reserve - made a wicked patch after a some isolation work, bulk substrates and then re-introduction. Subs galore... Good spot for Purple Gyms too..
