    Damn PMS

    My day started off bad. With me its not the discomfort, its just the aggressiveness. At the end of the day i have regret for how i handled things and say i wont let hormones get the better of me. The next morning.... Grrr again. Thanks to everyone for your ideas and support , i will be definitely going with some of those suggestions. Will be finishing off the day with a herbal bath. p.s... Normally i am placid.

    Damn PMS

    That site says that caffeine aggravates PMS.... Coffee is my only addiction,(at the moment) ( think how grumpy i might get without my two cups a day !!! )I cant take that away. But there are a few other suggestions that could work for me. Cheers.

    I think you can grow Shiitake on compressed straw. Or have you been down that avenue?

    Remember when....

    I remember being a 6 year old getting dragged to the pub with my parents and kept asking "can we go now?' The answer was always..."after this beer" We never left until stumps . I would eventually go to sleep under the table. The only good thing at the time was that I got to have a raspberry lemonade.

    2010 Sub season

    Ive seen P.sub' curl up at full maturity. On the topic of photography, i see that there is now cameras with GPS .Most of these cameras will insert the GPS coordinates in the photograph's EXIF data, which can then be placed on a map using a photo editor , which plots location data on Google Maps. Great technology, just in case you don't realize at the time of the photograph that you have a new specimen, you will know exactly where to find it.

    I am sure that there is over spray of weedkiller when weeds are sprayed at the parks . If there was a mushroom along side, it would be exposed too ?! I suppose that is why it is best to go bush whenever possible. Not that we would eat any of these anyway.

    Think globally, act locally.

    Pay It Forward is a 2000 American dramatic film based on the novel of the same name by Catherine Ryan Hyde. It stars Haley Joel Osment as a boy who launches a good-will movement, Helen Hunt as his single mother, and Kevin Spacey as his social-studies teacher. (Don't worry about the underlined,i didn't do it,just cut and paste) A kid in the movie does something good for someone else on the promise that they pay it forward,meaning that they do something good for someone else, so on, and so forth. Not that we should give and expect the receiver to give, but there should be more of it.

    I have been reading articles from 'tantras link. The stuff about PEA in P.semilanceata is very interesting. Little snippet follows= Phenylethylamine (PEA) recently found in Psilocybe semilanceata has been associated with psychosis and implicated in the etiology of mental disease (Wolf and Mosnaim, 1983, O'Reilly and Davis 1994). PEA has been reported to exert amphetamine-like activity and to have peripheral sympathomimetic effects

    urban myth...

    Hey meanies, what i was getting at with you being passionate with your beliefs was to give you a comparison of how this 'veteran' was getting into the debate,You feel strongly, he felt the same . Hell, ain't nothin wrong in having your own belief rather than follow society like sheep. However , this 'veteran' would not even listen to the other side of the story. I appreciate the inputs that have been made . If anyone hears anything interesting on this topic in the future , please think of me,would love to hear it. CHEERS

    urban myth...

    Meanies ,you too are passionate about your beliefs, just like 'The old mushroom veteran' who was trying to tell me that strychnine is in magic mushrooms.He was adamant . Since my interest in mushrooms has been rekindled i have been talking to select people about them and many say the Strychnine thing. I just want something to back my argument up. I think, as said, the fact that Strychnine comes from a plant ,wouldn't be found in Fungi. But then take a look at DMT,It is found in plants and animals,even in a toads skin. Maybe we should just let them keep their ignorant ideas and they will never be enlightened.

    Mycology Lab Supplies

    Yes, unfortunately he is closing down but according to his web site he still has stock. I was there about 3 weeks ago and got i wanted.

    urban myth...

    I am still searching . A few things though, it is interesting that some of the symptoms of ingesting strychnine are heightened senses ie; vision , sense of smell, hearing etc...???? . Apparently it is very bitter and is detectable at 1 ppm. My taste buds don't find mushrooms bitter, any one else? So as the search goes on, there is a case for both sides of the story. The link below might be enough proof, i dunno!?!? http://www.magic-mushrooms.info/chemistry.htm

    I was just reading that. , It is interesting , although it is soley on LSD. So , yeah, Strychnine is derived from plants ,not fungi. A book was mentioned in that link=The Botany and Chemistry of the Hallucinogens", by Richard Evans Shultes and Albert Hoffman. I wonder if it has anything in it on mushrooms. I am digging deep on this one .
