The pics are too small to get a good grip on what these guys are really like, i'd definitely avoid eating though as they look like they might have some galerina-esque features

Surely being relaxed and having somekind of spiritual moment in a near death situation would be an evolutionary disadvantage? No matter how divine one's contemplation of the universe can get it won't exactly keep you alive. I'm also curious about where you draw the line between the brain and the self? In the face of overwhelmingly psychedelic moments (like death) I think that it's pretty widely reported that the self can disappear. I suppose that your proposition is that the self distorts this experience into something mystical/spiritual in order to maintain it's composure or sanity post-trauma. While I kinda agree with this, I think that the very fact that the self can take a back seat every now and then is in itself an existential revelation about how humans work. While McKenna did endorse some pretty far out viewpoints he had incredibly benevolent intentions and a wealth of psychedelic experience which didn't necessarily teach him about any fundamental underlying truth to the universe, but rather showed him that the world was shaped by a multiplicity of real and imagined realities and that he could have a causal role in shaping those worlds around him.

Done, sorry dudes

I'm unsure whether my post was too specific or not? I'll change it if that's too close for anyone else's liking.

I realise that pulling mushrooms straight out of the ground is usually considered bad picking etiquette. I also realise that I collected a few pins that I probably should have let be. This being my first time finding them I was pretty excited and might have got a bit carrried away haha. I'll try to be more thoughtful in future times

Hey guys this is my first ever post here my girlfriend and I went camping out in the forest over the wknd and had some luck. I've been looking for this mushroom for a while, but this is the first time i've found it in the wild so I thought it'd be worthwhile posting them up here just to double check. You can probably tell from the photo most of the subs we found were pretty dried out and unhealthy looking. Hopefully the rain we're having at the moment really gets the season going.
