Just thought I would share the growth of the mushroom which is now on the front page. I couldn't believe I won a red ribbon... I was hoping for a score above 6.0 with my entry.

Anyway, here's a sequential of the growth of that mushroom, and his colleages. I setup my camera to take a picture every 45 minutes, for 5.8 days. Here's the result:

5.8 days of mushroom growth

I believe the one that gave me the ribbon appears on the top left corner of this sequence. Here it is:

They are "psilocybe cubensis" type. Specifically the B+ strain. I won't tell you what happens when you eat them...

Its psychoactive compounds are:

* Psilocybin (4-Phosphoryloxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine)
* Psilocin (4-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine)
* Baeocystin (4-Phosphoryloxy-N-methyltryptamine)
* Norbaeocystin (4-Phosphoryloxytryptamine)

LOL, says enough to me :-)

For a modest psychedelic effect, a minimum of one gram of dried cubensis mushrooms is ingested orally. 0.25-1 gram is usually sufficient to produce a mild effect, 1-2.5 grams usually provides a moderate effect. 2.5 grams and higher usually produces strong effects. For most people, 3.5 dried grams (1/8 oz) would be considered a high dose and likely to produce a very intense experience.

All the above info is from Wikipedia, I'm sticking with cheese.

Is that how you got the idea for this?:

Awesome clip!

How often was an image taken? Every couple hours or so?
