1 gram dried z-strain psilocybin mushroom in capsual. 2 x 500 mg capsuals.
It was a Sunday and had the day off. I was alone that day so decided to take some mushrooms and do some yard work.
I know 1 gram doesn't sound like much but also made a tea with one teaspoon ground Surian Rue seeds in hot water and a teaspoon of honey. Peganum Harmala taste fine to me, no upset stomach or nausea.
About 10:30 am made the tea and downed two capsuals of mushroom and drank the tea over a period of about 30 minutes. Had an empty stomach.
Effects came on fairly strong around 30 minutes. I was raking leaves and picking up branches and sticks in the yard, cleaning after a storm the night earlier.
The Syrian Rue which is an MAOI potentiate the effects of mushrooms (all tryptamine molecules) by inhibiting the enzyme which metabolize psychoactive molecules thereby prolonging the effects and build up.
It was quite intense but manageable. Pleasant but humbling. I was alone so didn't want the trip to become dangerous by taking large amount, plus I've never really had mushrooms before.
I found it very much similar to DMT. Geometric patterns, fluttering light patterns with closed eyes, like someone waving a fan over my head. Feeling the presence of the spirit of tryptamine and the potential of breaking through.
Opened eyes during the peak very similar to DMT, wavy/dancing flowing scenery.
Plus the subjective introspective thoughts.
I was happy and I was sad, I was laughing and crying. It was a mildly intense journey which lasted about 4-5 hours.
Needless to say after about 45 minutes of taking the capsuals I couldn't work anymore and had to just relax and ride through the journey during the peak which lasted about 1.5 hours, then it was the after-glow and come down.
Take away message. MAOI potentiate the effects of mushrooms. My estimate is it no less than doubles the potency. For example taking 1 teaspoon of Syrian Rue (approximately 2 grams) with 1 gram mushrooms is equivalent to 2-3 grams mushrooms, so be careful.
