Mushroom Season

26-09-2013 11:54AM #1

Well it's that time of year again Mushroom season is upon us, can we expect to see our regional Towns and Cities populated by crazed tripped out people ? I hear this year it is a bumper crop. Get out and forage, why does RTE not make a program like "Damo's guide to Autumn foraging" Feck that Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall

Mushrooms - the ruination of many a good pizza.
"You need to get more mushrooms in your diet" said no one, anywhere, ever.

Eugh! They're slimy and disgusting.

Worst of all, they can disguise themselves as pieces of chicken. Nothing worse than biting into something, thinking it's chicken, only to be horrified by the mushroomy awfulness now in your mouth.

Mushrooms are worse than a girl on the blob

Sirloin steak, medium.
Thick cut home made chips (mash spuds an acceptable substitute)
Peppered sauce.

Sauteed onion, garlic and garden peas.

Only thing missing is mushrooms.

You can't have a decent steak dinner without mushrooms. Anyone that disagrees well get my flaccid mushroom, slapped round their cheeks.

We've mushrooms in the back garden, one types makes my dog sick and the other (we're pretty sure) got my cat high.

Obviously if you're not careful with knowing your wild mushrooms you're just asking for trouble...

You're fairly safely buying from stores... :rolleyes:

Check this shiz out:

Penalties for possession and dealing

Class A

Ecstasy, LSD, heroin, cocaine, crack, magic mushrooms, amphetamines (if prepared for injection).
Up to seven years in prison or an unlimited fine or both. Up to life in prison or an unlimited fine or both.

Class B

Amphetamines, Cannabis, Methylphenidate (Ritalin), Pholcodine. Up to five years in prison or an unlimited fine or both.
Up to 14 years in prison or an unlimited fine or both.

Class C

Tranquilisers, some painkillers, Gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB), Ketamine.
Up to two years in prison or an unlimited fine or both. Up to 14 years in prison or an unlimited fine or both.

All of the drugs on the list above - whether Class A, B or C - are designated as controlled substances under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, and using them is illegal.

Class A drugs are considered to be the most likely to cause harm.

So crystal meth only class B, ket and ghb class C but shrooms are class A.

funny stuff

Sorry but once you mention that you cook a steak medium, all credibility is lost in the remainder of your post

Three great occasions were had in Amsterdam on the aul' Mushroom chocolate bars. Fun times.

Lando Griffin · 26-09-2013 01:20PM

Like most things in life mushrooms should be taken in moderation and the right enviroment.
Long long ago in ancient Ireland the druids used to take them to advise the kings on things to happen in the future.
But back then there was less crime and people were more or less crusties so you wouldnt be getting a bad vibe from a bunch of lads in a Corolla outside the chipper of a Saturday night; more dancing around some field naked making love to mother nature.

There's a shitload of psilocybin mushrooms growing in my back garden at the minute. Haven't eaten any of them this year, yet =p

Plenty of normal button mushrooms too in the fields around here. Actually went picking some the other morning while walking the dog. They're infinitely tastier than the ones you get in shops.

A lad I went to school with took a heap of mushies one night at a rave in the forest. Had a massive nervous breakdown as a result. Didn't finish school, has been in and out of hospital, routinely wets himself in the pub after having a few pints. He went in, but he never came back out.

Banjo String · 26-09-2013 01:30PM

My chemistry teacher asked me to do an essay on magic mushrooms one afternoon.

I was doing ok until the walls turned into laughing leprechauns, and my pen suddenly became a gorilla that tried to eat my head.

Aye.. they wouldn't be for everyone. You have to be very careful taking them.. not sure a rave in a forest would be the ideal environment in which to be tripping balls!

No, not really. Considering it is a much more potent and addictive version of amphetamines. Thats like saying put morphine into the same category as heroin.

can you be 100% sure it was it specifically due to the mushrooms alone?

As its not specifically stated im assuming it would fall under amphetamine.
Also methamphetamine being more addictive than amphetamineis debatable in terms of the substance itself more through the means of administration, ie smoking. Injecting amphetamine would be a lot more addictive than orally ingesting methamphetmamine.
