Migrated topic.
Terence McKenna on Morning glory seeds

Description of morning glories seeds. Talks around the extraction of LSA from morning glory seeds. Encourages people to grow the entheogenic plant. Hypnagogia. "dancing mice, colored candies, ribbons, gears, screws, spinning geometric wheels... the impedimenta of the phantasmagoria of your mind."
 
Stipa Robusta (sleepy grass) is commonly infected with a fungal growth that contains (reportedly) higher concentrations of LSA. It would be neat to find it's HBWR/MG equivelent.

Also the grass is endegeonous to the SW United States.

This page describes the alkaloid content of the endophytes. I don't think I'm the only one here who will find this plant glowing with blue potential.
 
P.dilatatum covers a larger geographic area. it's all over the place in the south/southwest.

Here's some stuff i compiled for all things grass, chemistry and all. I have to clean it up some, there are duplicates of some files.
 
:D that is amazing! The Neotyphodium coenophialum endophyte looks very promising for entheogenic use. I saw there are some articles on different grasses and endophytes, I'll see what grows in my area. I'm too far north to reap the benefits of those 2 wild grasses, but maybe a solution lies in these texts.

Thank you for all this knowledge :D! Whoo!

You're welcome. 😁
I've worked closely with c.paspali for a year and a half, it's a fascinating fungus.

I've never worked with a fungal culture before. Yogurt is as close as I've come to it. I had great sucess extracting it from it's polymer host using the spoon technique. ;)

I was considering extracting bulk amounts of the grass, but a fungal culture would be a renewable resource I don't want to miss out on in this life-time. I know very little of it; but with these journals and a bit of discipline I should make some headway. 8)

If only DMT was an entheogen that could exist in such a manor ;/ Although everything has it's struggles, and it's rewards.

Also, that is an extremely clean looking fungal culture! o_O
 
No way! There's all kinds of information here! I'm particularly interested in the acremonium isolates of stipa robusta. AkA this here sleepy grass. This is a gold mine of knowledge :D!

@benzyme I think it is time for me to learn how to culture. After a bit more studying. What's the growth rate like?
 
I see, that IS fascinating! Do you harvest the whole culture or do you leave some remaining for regrowth? Or just transplant from a mother dish for cropping?

I really like the idea of a renewable entheogenic source like this. 😁 Also despite my climate, P. Dilatatum is an invasive species here! WHOOO! That gives me the winter to be able to study and identify it, and be prepared to culture its fungal growths. This is definitely exciting!

I did both.

the fungus is the gift that keeps on giving...however, see the paper that mentions alkaloidal decrease over generations.

Haha I see, so it'll only give until it's gone. It can't hurt to grow some grass then to prepare more fungal growth. I wonder if I can use an intermediate to assist in alkaloid production. One of these papers might say. This is by far one of the more interesting projects I've taken. :)
 
C. Paspali contains primarily LSA/"LAH". The "LAH" looks like an interesting compound by itself, have you experimented with any extracts?
 
benzyme said:
LSH?

it readily reverts to LSA...and above 24 C, the fungal production of LSH drops sharply.

Yeah, how does it compare to LSD? It's claimed to have a significant psychedelic effect.

Did you get stevens and hall or start a wild culture? Ive got some wild conidia germinating on agar right now hopefully I will be able to mutate it for the right traits,
