The magic of mushrooms

I've suffered from anxiety and depression for a long time. I've been researching magic mushrooms there is evidence that they have an immediate and lasting affect on anxiety symptoms. Does anyone here have any experience and anyone in South Wales know where they grow. Before anyone kicks off, I am fully aware that they are not legal but at this stage I am willing to give anything a go. No negative comments please.

Did you ever get any to grow?

I'd be chuffed to get any mushroom to grow!

Yes!

With the PF Tek and some chat in the shroomery forum, you are practically guaranteed to grow some mushrooms - and we aren't necessarily talking about the illegal kind.
You can grow:

  • Colourful and delicious Oyster mushrooms of many kinds
  • Wonderful and delicious Lion's Mane, which some researches point to their ability to benefit brain activity and postpone age-related brain decline
  • Many other gourmet / medicinal mushrooms

The PF Tek, however, does not result in a "profitable" yield. If someone is looking to get a few "trips" on magic mushrooms, without dealing with "professional" criminals, it can work.

Or, if one is just interested in growing their own mushrooms and learn about the amazing world of the mycelium - a single-cell organism that transforms into a large fruit... Imagine if a bacteria could turn into something like an apple 😀

If one is looking to beat the supermarket on price, they need to adopt what is called "bulk" technique, which involves a few more tools and a bit more learning - but, also, nothing too difficult!

There is also an older doc on Netflix called fantastic fungi or something, it possibly has the same guy on it.
lots of different mushrooms good for various ailments, not all under the magic classification either ….though I’d consult experts if you aren’t 100% on your mushroom identification
