Everything Psilocybe Galindoi Atlantis has taught me
This post is to serve as an information source for those seeking knowledge on the psychedelic mushroom species, Psilocybe Galindoi Atlantis (ATL#7). It is not a complete source of knowledge, I will add to it as I figure more things out, I encourage all those who read it and find it useful to add a comment to the bottom to keep the thread alive and useful.
ABOUT PSILOCYBE GALINDOI
Psilocbye Galindoi Atlantis is one of 3 or 4 known species to produce Sclerotia. Sclerotia is a hardened mycelial mass that closely resembles fresh walnut meat when fresh, and when dried can resemble granola. Sclerotia can be consumed both fresh and dried, the general thought is that the sclerotia is more potent in fresh form and is thought to lose some of its potency in drying. It has been my experiences that this is not necessarily true. I can dose both fresh and dried weights on a comparable dose and find little to no loss in effects. This is based solely on my own experiences.
The Galindoi species, as with other sclerotia species, also fruits mushrooms. The mushroom fruits are smaller and more spindly than a cubensis. They are more similar to liberty caps in stature and delicacy. Fruiting the mushrooms on Galindoi is only slightly more involved than Cubensis, but the harvest weights are typically much less, which limits the amount of growers willing to take the species to mushroom fruiting.
The Galindoi species is often considered to be the better sclerotia former out of the several species that produce them. The potency is considered to be moderate to high in relation to the other sclerotia producers. The sclerotia forms within the grain substrates, and typically take 3 months to mature from the day of inoculation. It is a widely held belief that the sclerotia continues to gain potency the longer it is allowed to grow past 3 months. 3 months is usually considered the first available harvestablity of the sclerotia.
I personally age all my at a minimum of 5 months. On my next round of harvests I will be pulling off a 9 month old stock, which should be very exciting to try.
The flavor from the sclerotia species is a completely different experience than cubensis. Eaten fresh they have the texture of unroasted nuts, and the flavor of a metallic lemon on the back of your tongue. The flavor can last well over an hour after ingesting, though it is not unpleasant, it definitely sticks around.
All of my sclerotia is grown on Organic Wheat Grain. If you have wheat allergies you may want to consider a cubensis strain for consumption. While I take every effort to clean the stones to perfection, there is still a chance that some grain kernals are embedded within the sclerotia. I don't think there will be quantity enough to produce severe reactions, but if you have allergies, you should know about this.
All of my strains are individual isolations. I've found selecting sclerotia traits is a fantastic way to produce larger harvests and more predictable results. While doing a multispore inoculation is possible, optimum performance comes from strain selections.
*********** DOSING SCLEROTIA ***********
An average dose for most people/body types would be 5grams dried, or 15 grams fresh.
A 5g dose will produce mild Open Eye Visuals (OEV) and strong Closed Eye Visuals(CEV) in most people. This will vary depending on you and your sensitivity to psilocin. For a comparable to your experiences of Cubensis strains, 3g of cubensis would be similar to 5g of sclerotia.
Once you go above the 5g mark, the OEV become much stronger, as does everything else.
A good dosing ratio if you've had experience with cubensis would be to add 1/3 more sclerotia weight to your typical cubensis dose. This will put you into the ballpark of similar experiences for most people.
LOW DOSE EXPERIENCES
Low dosing sclerotia can be quite fun, and with the capsule delivery system it is very easy to regulate the experience. I often take 1g (2capsules) as an enhancement to a busy day. You will experience elevated levels of energy and perception, detail clarity, and general good mood.
I have several clients who use bi-weekly low dose experiences to regulate and ween themselves off anti-psychotic medications. 1-2 gram doses bi-weekly do not produce any noticeable psychedelic effects, but can be a great mood swing controller.
I did a 30 day trial run of 2 capsules a day, in the morning. By the third day of dosing the only effects noticeable were the energy boosts and general elevated mood and attitude. The feeling remained for the duration of the 30 days. Upon stopping at the end of the month trial, I experienced a longer than expected “melancholy”. I believe this was mainly due to the lack of serotonin my body was creating while I was filling my receptors with psilocin. Normal life and mood returned within 5 days of stopping the 30 day dose experiment.
HIGH DOSE EXPERIENCES
Taking above 10 grams of Sclerotia(dried) gets into the “heroic” dose levels. Everybody will be different, but reality definitely takes a jump sideways above 10 grams dried. My personal ceiling was 26 capsules(13 grams dried). At this level I lost my ability to function as an Ego'ed entity.. and was experiencing strong OEV, movie theater CEV, extreme Color enhancements, as well as a deep deep sense of harmony and peace. I was very experienced with psychedelics at this point, and very much in control of environment and mental setting. This much sclerotia is a foundation re-setter, and you should know what you're doing if you are going to consume a high dose.
CROSS TOLERANCE ISSUES
Almost every form of psychedelic has some form of cross tolerance issues. Psilocin is included in this list. If you have had a psychedelic experience within the last 7 days, you WILL experience a weaker trip than expected. My personal thought is, you should take breaks in between trips anyways to really get a chance to capture what it was all about anyways. But I'm not your mama.
If you are determined to skip the waiting 7 days between trips, then to have the experience you want, you should double the recommended dose to reach the level you want. You will need to do this to over ride your built up tolerance.
METHODS FOR CONSUMING SCLEROTIA
My products come dried and encapsulated in 00 size capsules. Each capsule weighs in at .6 - .7 grams each. This also accounts for the capsule weighing .1g
Taking the capsules whole is the easiest method, though not everyone can swallow a pill.
The capsule tends to add 30 – 60 minutes to the onset, due to the capsule needing to dissolve first. This can be shortened by loosing the pill before swallowing, or poking a hole in the ends of each cap to speed up dissolving.
If tea and taking whole capsules are not an option, you can open the capsules and add the powder to juice or a sandwich. This will shave off some onset time, but will have to be considered with your food as to how fast it will kick in. You will notice the flavor more with this method.
TEA INSTRUCTIONS
It is very easy to brew a small tea for your dose. Simply measure out 12oz of water into a small pot, bring to a light boil, toss in your capsules and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Then take your tea water and add it to your favorite mug with a tea bag, lemon and honey for taste. Allow this to steep for 15 minutes. Drink your tea. I personally consume the sclerotia solids at the bottom of the cup, though I don't think it is truly necessary.. but I'm a waste not want not kind of person. Your choice at this point.
Consuming tea will change the trip. The onset will be within 30-45 minutes. The peak “climb” will happen very quickly and the peak will be higher. The duration of the trip will shorten with the Tea Method. Expect 4 -5 hours total with the tea method.
TRIP DURATION
For capsules, expect to be sober enough to function within 6-8 hours of consumption.
For tea methods, 4-5 hours is normal.
These durations are based on a standard 5g dose. Higher doses tend to push the experience longer, and you will have to make a judgement call on that.
It is possible to break up the dosing into multiple parts to extend the experience. Eating 5g for the initial dose, then following up in an hour with 5g more can produce a very controllable and wonderfully high experience.
TRIP CONTROL
It is widely believed in my circle of psychonaughts that sclerotia is extremely friendly to the psychedelic user. It has been said more than once, that it is like putting a steering wheel on your psychedelic experience. I have gone grocery shopping with a clear tripping head on 8grams of sclerotia.. able to turn on/off the visuals at will. It is an excellent vessel for introducing new users to mushrooms, as well as great spiritual control for higher dose seekers.
STOMACH PROBLEMS
There are a few people who have reported mild stomach discomfort from the sclerotia species, but all in all, sclerotia seems to be much much friendlier on the stomach than cubensis. Almost every mushroom in existence does not agree with the human digestion system. Our body is not wired to break down mycelial matter and fibers.. which really pisses off the guts. Cooking your mushrooms (Boiling) will tremendously decrease your discomfort on any mushroom, cubensis or sclerotia. This involves making tea with your products, but, for a happy stomach it is a small investment for a psychedelic experience.
Raw or boiled, the sclerotia strains are much more mild on your system.
PRESERVATION OF YOUR PURCHASE
If for some reason you need long term storage of your sclerotia, putting them into an airtight container in the freezer is the optimum storage method. You can expect 2+ years of storage if done this way. If you are planning on storing that long, I would seal them multiple times and also add a silica packet to the package as well.. this will ensure a long dry storage.
If you just toss them in the sock drawer, you can expect 6 months of potency, after that it will begin to fail.
Oxygen, light and heat are your worst enemies, avoiding them will prolong the storage capacity.
LEMON TEKing
The Lemon tek method will not inhibit sclerotia, and is thought to actually increase the potency. The theory is the phosphorizing of Psilocybin into Psilocin just before ingestion. Your body naturally phosphorizes the psilocybin, but the lemon juice just speeds it up giving more up for the blood upon first ingesting.

Perhaps not strictly information, but it is being produced commercially in Europe and the USA. Don't get those manufactures in trouble! so keep it to Personal use only.
The products are well worth it as they always are.

Can't wait for my next order to arrive. Galindoi knows his stuff and seems to enjoy what he does. The packaging is masterfully done and comes with some cool swag to keep as a memento. Galindoi's capsules were my second experience with mushrooms and psychedelics in general, my first time being a relatively low dose of what I'm pretty sure was cubensis. I took 12 capsules with some tea after not eating for a few hours and taking a long nap. Crazy experience, never knew my mind was capable of so much. The open-eyed hallucinations were mild at first but still very noticeable in a way difficult to explain. They were most apparent when looking into a mirror, which is some freaky but awesome shit. With eyes closed, the patterns I saw were nothing short of incredible. I know the trip lasted several hours but I can't give an accurate measurement because in a way I can't explain the whole concept of time made literally no sense to me, I would look at a clock and the numbers really did not mean anything. Listened to Dark side of the Moon and Sgt. peppers because I'm stereotypical like that, the visuals all changed in accordance to the music (if you've ever played audiosurf, picture that but a million times more awesome). By the time I hit the plateau I experienced what I think people are talking about when they refer to "ego death". I had no idea what it meant to be alive. Eventually the room seemed to turn on its axis. I generally just had a much deeper appreciation for everything in life. Shifting between playing piano and walking over to my computer became an adventure, and when I bit into an apple it felt like the first time I've ever eaten anything in my life, indescribable. The whole trip basically made me feel like I was just born and experiencing life for the first time. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about it. Galindoi is pretty quick in answering messages and generally had great customer service as well.
One thing to add considering this is an information thread, I rolled the night after this, or tried to at least. I'm unsure of any documented cross-tolerance between MDMA and mushrooms, but I did not feel much of anything. I took the same MDMA pills again a few weeks later and they had me up in the clouds. So going from personal experience I would say wait a week or two at least after shrooming before taking any e.
tl:dr though, Galindoi is a gentleman and a scholar, and his product is unbelievably legit.
-
Thank you for the very useful guide. This is a must read.
-
My man! Can't wait for my package. Thanks for the heads up! Prepped.
-
Thanks for the info galindoi. Never had that strain before and was wondering about it the other day.
-
Question: does the dilation of the pupil occurs at any amount? Don't really want to dose low (2-4 caps) and still get the "crazy eyes". I'll assume that it does occur but just wanted to get confirmation from the guy who did a 30 day/2 cap daily test.
-
It does occur at low doses but not as severely. You will definitely notice high detail definition, which is a side effect of your pupils being dilated and more light coming in off objects. I actually like the high detail effects of low doses.
I did get dilation through the whole 30 day run as well. But it is definitely not pure black eyes..

Love these shroom pills, been selling them and blowing people away for only 15/eighth.

my friend managed to sell them at 10 a capsule, i was like who on earth? but w/e

Sigh.. the above two comments completely ego'd the place talkin bout money and shit.
Anywho, Galindoi. I have printed up your post, highlighted what felt most important to me.. and had to remind myself this is an online post where I can be interactive with.
Recently reading upon serotonin has made me become more aware of my trip planning, otherwise I would give into the temptation of "Swallow these to feel better".
As a fresh brain that has undergone only one heroic dose, I find the whole subject of consciousness to die for.
I would always trigger dreams the night after tripping. Just laying awake in bed aware in a meditation state for hours on end. However, there has been one reoccurring nightmare that I have had the past 2 or so years of my life. A tragic event, with my nightmares making the experience vary. I have gotten better of realizing the fact that I am dreaming so I can wake up faster. But the nightmare is still there. Quite honestly my dreams have only recently escaped the same ritual into the open world of time and space while clinging to memories at the same time.
I don't necessarily know what to ask of you.. but I feel as if you are the only person in my reach that is on the same level of communication.
-
Consumed 2.5g of galindoi mushrooms after waiting what felt like one week. Improvements of awareness left space for growth during that time period. Virtually limitless focus led the stream into time and space. However, normally wherever I held back I instead venture ahead. Unafraid of the false. Many epiphany sprang with a voice of reason.
Setting, however, evicts a matrix like scan of frequences. Hummering aloud from left to right, right to left. An invisible zipper with echos of nails against chalk boards.
Then suddenly... Radiohead.
Thanks for reading.

Galindoi's capsules fucking rock(Psilocybe Galindoi Atlantis)! I only took 5 caps the first time and it was incredible. It was for sure a different trip than a regular cubensis trip. Way different, your more functional while tripping hard at the same time. You don't get those deep trance/zoned out(out in space) trip but more visuals opened and closed eyes.
Then after a night of tripping on some great strong acid, the next day I tried the low dose too see how I would react(also been smoking a lot of bud throughout the whole day).....I started off on three and watched a movie, half way the movie, I popped another 2. You do not understand how engulfed you get by the movie, it was an incredible experience. Its obviously, unexplainable as everyone is different and reacts differently....anyways I continued watching movies from 3 in the morning till 2:30 in the afternoon. In total I took about 8-13(have no idea) capsules spaced out. Lovely fucking experience. Will do it again tonight.
Thank you for the fast, professional, discreet packaging as well AMAZING product for the price.
Thanks again and I will return with another mini review of my experience if anyone is interested.
-
I just ordered a good amount of Galindoi's strain and could not be more excited to try it out.
I will be sure to review the product in-depth once I receive, and then again once I use it.
-
Just received another order, psyched as hell. If I tripped on these last friday and wanted to do it again this friday, would the trip feel underwhelming? I've read 10 days as the time it takes to recover from a trip fully, but I wonder if 3 less would really make a difference?
-
I would call 7 days safe.. you may want to bump up the last dose you took by a gram to alleviate any worries of tolerance issues.
It has been my experience that after 7 days, I have the normal expected experience to the dose taken. You and others may be different, but not by much.
99% of psilocin flushes from the body within the first 8 hours.. the rest peters out in the next 12 hours. Your brain receptors let go after a few days, but its a gradual letting go.

Your brain receptors let go after a few days, but its a gradual letting go.
I've been curious about this for a while (how long neurotransmitters stay bound to receptors). Is your information based on what you feel should be true from experience, or did you read a study on this? I would be much interested in a link of more information in this area if you can provide one.
Thanks
-
I've put some time into researching HTP receptors, the things that love them, and their general nature. I am in no way an expert, but gleaned all the information that is pertinent to me and psilocin. It's led me ultimately to believe we are nothing more than a chemical reaction to our environment.. god bless chemistry.. or chemistry bless god.. whichever.
Galindoi

Can anyone else comment on the difference between these and the Cubensis strain? Thanks!
-
I am also interested in some trip reports. I just bought some of these beauties, but I have never tried sclerotia or mushrooms in general before. I know the recommended dose is 5grams but a previous poster said he only took 2.5grams and had a powerful experience. I'm leaning towards taking maybe 3-4g but I don't want to be overwhelmed OR underwhelmed :-\ such is the problem with psychedelics I suppose :P
-
Galindoi is perhaps one of the most genuine sellers on SR, I would not classify their operation as a drug dealership so much as a person or group who really cares about their creation and spreading the good vibes it produces.
I took 1.75 grams out in Nature and it was simply amazing. Admittedly, that was quite a low dose, but it was still very special. I won't go to extreme detail about the trip but here is a breakdown of the experience:
Took 1.75 grams washed down with some light beer. 30 minutes later I started coming up. Keep in mind this was actually my first psychedelic experience. Very mild comeup, no nausea or discomfort, just that "hmm something funny is happening to my body" feeling. My friends and I became goofy, laughing about silly stuff. the most important and meaningful part of the trip was how connected I felt to Nature. At some points, my friends and I would just stare out across the landscape, admiring what was around us. At this level, there were not really any visuals, my friend said that he thought there were very slight trails off his hand when he waved it in from of his face, but other than that it was entirely mental.
Like I said, the most meaningful part of this experience was how in tune and connected I felt with Mother Nature. It was a beautiful day and the sun was shining softly through the trees. I go the sense that the trees were beings that cared for us and were watching over us as we had fun beneath the protection of their branches. I realized that one day I would die, and that I would return to dust, to the earth, and perhaps become a part of a tree. This was immensely comforting. I have been through a sort of existential crisis, wondering if there is a god or higher meaning to life. Many psychologists and others mock those who take psychedelics, saying that whatever insight about life they gained while tripping is lost immediately thereafter. I believe this is because they assume that there is a higher meaning to begin with. For me, I just realized that we are here on this planet now, and that when we die we will return to the earth again.
The trip lasted about 5 hours, maybe more, and it was a mild, peaceful, meaningful experience. During this time, people who we didn't know came upon our campsite, but I never felt any anxiety or paranoia. Like Galindoi says, Psilocybe Galindoi seems to be a psychedelic on training wheels. It is very easy to control, although keep in mind I was on a low dose.
All in all this was a great experience. Galindoi is one of the best sellers out there and their product is excellent.
Thank you again Galindoi,

That was a straight up review there.. thanks Grachiel89.

I am still coming down a bit so bear with the erratic syntax / spelling
Today I decided to take 2.5g (5 capsules). I opened them up and put them in some cranberry juice and drank it. Took about 45min for the effects to start kicking in. No OEV or CEV but definitely visual distortions if you looked at something long enough. I became fixated on the poster that game with the order, I would see the man conjuring and swirling that black thing, colors were changing a bit. It was really groovy, I loved it. I put on some beatles and radiohead and it was a really nice trip. No nausea persay but my stomach definitely felt a little weird. Next time I think I will try 5grams, but for now, that was a wonderful experience :) again I apologize if this is a clusterfuck of words I am having a hard time writing right now
EDIT:
Now that I'm sober I feel that I can clarify my trip a little better. Granted, this was my first mushroom trip, and I have only done low doses of LSD before so I felt this was one of my first psychedelic experiences.
I felt like the trip had different stages. The first stage I sat in my chair and listened to music and saw things like light bending, and slight visual distortions and color changes. After about 30min of that I went downstairs to take a shower, where I felt very emotional and strange and introspective. After the shower I went back upstairs and listened to music and sat in my bean bag chair again and felt a really pleasant comfortable body high, kind of like being stoned on a nice indica strain of weed. About an hour after that, I got into bed and felt extreme feelings of empathy and I missed my girlfriend immensely. I felt like I needed to be with her and I really felt a great deal of love. Cuddling against my pillow felt really good, and my bed felt really soft and comfortable. When I typed the above part of the post, it was right after I got out of the shower.
All in all, the trip lasted about 4 hours total, which is fine because I only took 2.5g. I'm really pleased on how much I was able to get out of a low dose like that, but I think the next time I might take 5grams with a friend and see if I can blow my mind :)

Not to sound alarmed, but I'm starting to see words like "training wheels" and "easy to control" attached to this strain. As an experienced shroom user, I want to make sure that when I take my dose on Thursday, I will not be anywhere near "easy to control" lol. I'm looking for something equivalent or greater to an eighth of really good cubensis. So how many capsules should I be taking for something like that? I don't really take psychedelics for easy going experiences or just some light fun, I do them to go on personal journeys and really have a great time. I had planned on taking 12 capsules and figured that should be good, but I just want to make sure that that dose will put me in the realm I'm looking for. Thanks in advance for any replies. I will be posting a review in the main Galindoi thread on Friday. Thanks for the successful delivery Galindoi 8)

I personally took 14 my last trip and had a more powerful experience than when I took 3.5g of cubensis. Lots of CEV. However, my friend took 18 capsules and was on a whole other plain of existence. From what I gathered I think you might wanna try 18 ;)
-
Awesome man, thanks for the input. Now that I think about it, I think I'll stick with 12 capsules for my reviewed trip report anyways, since I feel like that might be a common dosage for the average user. But next time I'm gonna go ahead and do 20 to have a mind-blowing experience. I was also trying to gauge how much my friends will want to take if they want somewhere close to 3-3.5g of cubensis. I think I'll end up giving the average user that I know about 10 capsules for a good trip, and they can always increase if they want. These capsules are so damn cheap in bulk anyways that I can practically give these things away! Look for my trip report come Friday. I'll be including the reports of me and my girlfriend at 12 capsules each, as well as the experiences of our two friends who are doing 10 capsules each because this is their first time taking any psychedelic. I hope you're excited as I am to take their mushroom virginity Galindoi ;D
-
I took 12 caps and 125mg mdma last week. About an hour later I started coming up. I think the combination, since I took them simultaniously, delayed the onset, but after about 2-3 hours it was intense. I was at a crazy electronica concert and was overwhelmed.. in a good way thank god, because if I was sitting at home or something I would have not been distracted by the show and been wayyy too far gone on my come up. It ended about 5 hours later, and I was still going hard for another 1-2 hours. It was the best trip of my life 8)
-
Awesome, now I'm feeling the good vibes again. Now I feel bad for ever doubting the potency of this strain. Definitely looking forward to my Thursday night.
-
Just had a crazy awesome experience with 10 caps. Intense. Thanks Galindoi.

I hear what you're saying, but keep in mind I only took 1.75 grams, and on top of that it was my first experience. If you're looking to take 5 or 6 grams or possibly more I'm sure you will have one hell of a ride. I'm very new when it comes to psychedelics, so I wanted to stick my toes in the water first rather than wading right into the cosmic ocean. I don't have anything to compare it to, but at that level I was definitely feeling the shrooms (particularly how it made me feel connected to nature) although I think I could have easily talked to an officer and kept my cool.
Anyways, it was a great first experience. I was thinking that maybe I would take them at concerts or venues like that, but now I think that I will save them for more special occasions when I'm out and about in Nature. Even just with the small amount I took, I feel as though it taught me something important, and I don't want to use them to just casually trip, they deserve more respect than that. My 2 cents anyways.

This strain is NOT a "training wheels" strain, as mentioned here. It is an incredibly complex and wonderful strain that can be used in different situations.
For instance, Taking 1-2 gram (2-4 pills) is an easy way to ensure that you have a DAMN good day. I, and several of my friends, have had FANTASTIC day trips out into the woods fishing/kyaking/etc. and a good time is had by all after a gram or two for each of us. You can still trip out and have visuals on a dose like that - you just have control over it.
If you take 4+ gram you can go on a really wild and enjoyable ride. My first night with Galindoi's product I ate 5 gram and had some of the best visuals and the most stimulating conversations I've ever had. I also had a fantastic fucking night where I tripped exactly the way I wanted. My second night... the night after the first (that's right, mushrooms 2 days in a row), I ate 6.5 gram. This dosage, combined with the fact that I was just chilling at a friends rather than around lots of people at a party, made me lose my shit completley. I was completley ego dead for 6 hours. I had no idea who or what I was and wanted to be and really connected with the universe in the stereotypical "lolshroomtrip" manner.
These mushrooms are exceptional in so many ways. My advice to anyone who is lucky enough to procure Galindoi's amazing product is to not think about the trip or the dosage, or anything like that. Just pop them in when you have a free 12 hours, and fucking learn what your mind can do with them. I tripped harder on these shrooms at a time when I shouldn't have been able to rip at all - simply because that is where my mind decided to go that day. The night before I ate a similar dose and was totally sociable, and was completely in the real - because that is what I wanted to do. A couple of my friends were super concerned with dosages, the trip, the effects, and shit like that when first taking these. Once they kicked in, my buddies said that worrying about anything related to the trip was futile, the mushrooms and your brain handle everything - let your conscious brain worry about other shit.
edit: I feel I should note that I am having a problem with wanting to experience more of life through the lens of psychedelics. I want to eat mushrooms on a whim almost every day, and I am having trouble convincing myself that these mushrooms need to be respected and that I can't think too much about tripping. These thoughts are mine and are probably not related to Galindoi's mushrooms, other than the fact that Galindoi's mushrooms are of superb quality.
I probably am feeling this way because I am young and haven't experienced anyone going through what I am right now.
-
Thanks for the post Serenity. I'm certainly getting more excited about my trip tomorrow. Just one question, are you able to compare your 6.5g trip (because that sounds like 10 capsules) to an eighth of cubensis if you have ever done it? I'm growing more and more impatient to finally just try these things!
-
Just eat 5 caps and then let the trip take you. This strain is different from cubenis, for me. It's not all about the trip or losing reality. That aspect is there if you want it, you just have to take yourself there (I went ego dead for 5 hours when I started thinking about reality). Eat the mushrooms and have a good night, don't think about the mushrooms.

Not to be a debbie downer or anything but I had two buddies who ate 15 of these babies and said they hardly experienced anything at all. I personally have had good (very, very mild) experiences (with little to no visuals/dissociative sensations) on 4-6 capsules, but I cannot contest to higher dosages. The guys could have just been lying to me but at the same time, the general consensus from everyone who has tried them seems to be that they are a bit on the weak side.
Galindoi might be able to provide a possible explanation. I'm definitely not turned off to his product myself, but I got keep the customers happy ya' know? (DON'T HATE)
-
Ask them if they had any other psychedelics recently?

Doesn't look like it. But I'm definitely not about to say fuck it to Galindoi or anything. I really enjoy the capsules myself and they are great for moderate dosages.

I really think it's just that they affect people differently. I've done galindoi's shrooms 5 times now myself, and done it with friends the latter 3 times. Every single time I've done them with friends I've started tripping like 20-30 minutes before them, and they're freaking out wondering if I'm some actor or something and I just gave them some bunk pills with shredded wheat in it or something. But every single time, about 30-40 minutes later my friends are always like "Whoa dude... oh yeah.. man I'm definitely feeling this shit now you had me worried a bit" and then remarked later on as it was wearing off that it was the best trip they've had in their life. (none of them are big psychedelic users)
I think it's just the capsules that make it take a long time to set in for some people. Some people's stomachs don't take to that stuff very well so they don't get the full effect.. if that's the case try telling them to pull apart the capsule and just swallow down the powder. It's going to taste like crap though, which is why I prefer keeping them in the vegi-caps. I have a really fast acting stomach because I very rarely eat and am a pretty small guy irl, so I guess the caps dissolve very fast for me and I get set off fast.

This strain is NOT a "training wheels" strain, as mentioned here. It is an incredibly complex and wonderful strain that can be used in different situations.
For instance, Taking 1-2 gram (2-4 pills) is an easy way to ensure that you have a DAMN good day. I, and several of my friends, have had FANTASTIC day trips out into the woods fishing/kyaking/etc. and a good time is had by all after a gram or two for each of us. You can still trip out and have visuals on a dose like that - you just have control over it.
If you take 4+ gram you can go on a really wild and enjoyable ride. My first night with Galindoi's product I ate 5 gram and had some of the best visuals and the most stimulating conversations I've ever had. I also had a fantastic fucking night where I tripped exactly the way I wanted. My second night... the night after the first (that's right, mushrooms 2 days in a row), I ate 6.5 gram. This dosage, combined with the fact that I was just chilling at a friends rather than around lots of people at a party, made me lose my shit completley. I was completley ego dead for 6 hours. I had no idea who or what I was and wanted to be and really connected with the universe in the stereotypical "lolshroomtrip" manner.
These mushrooms are exceptional in so many ways. My advice to anyone who is lucky enough to procure Galindoi's amazing product is to not think about the trip or the dosage, or anything like that. Just pop them in when you have a free 12 hours, and fucking learn what your mind can do with them. I tripped harder on these shrooms at a time when I shouldn't have been able to rip at all - simply because that is where my mind decided to go that day. The night before I ate a similar dose and was totally sociable, and was completely in the real - because that is what I wanted to do. A couple of my friends were super concerned with dosages, the trip, the effects, and shit like that when first taking these. Once they kicked in, my buddies said that worrying about anything related to the trip was futile, the mushrooms and your brain handle everything - let your conscious brain worry about other shit.
edit: I feel I should note that I am having a problem with wanting to experience more of life through the lens of psychedelics. I want to eat mushrooms on a whim almost every day, and I am having trouble convincing myself that these mushrooms need to be respected and that I can't think too much about tripping. These thoughts are mine and are probably not related to Galindoi's mushrooms, other than the fact that Galindoi's mushrooms are of superb quality.
I probably am feeling this way because I am young and haven't experienced anyone going through what I am right now.
hell yeah, Serenity! your trip report reminds me
how much i have to learn,
from shrooms.
i was on the fence about the Galindoi strain, but i am placin an order on 4/20
thanks to your report.
much respect

When making tea with this stuff, do you toss the capsules in whole or break them open and pour the contents into the pot? Also if anyone here has taken 24 or more capsules at once before, would you say that you were so far gone that there is absolutely no way you could have functioned in public? Highest I've gone so far is 16 but I'd like to try for a heroic dose. I'm pretty confident that I wouldn't freak out but if a high dose like that comes with some sort of couch lock feeling that would be a different story
-
When I make my teas, I boil 12oz of water with the capsules in them, lightly for 10 minutes. The capsules dissolve quickly. Once boiled, add to a mug with your favorite tea bag and steep for 10-15 minutes more.
I've done 26 capsules, in a tea, in one sitting. Not sure what you mean by "couch lock", but it sounds about right.
I think an experienced tripper could hold their shit together in public, but I wouldn't want to be doing a job interview or anything like that. Though I have at 10 caps.. got the job too.

I just took 6 capsules last night. Back many years ago when I used mushrooms, roughly 2g did the trick. I enjoyed my time on these and would recommend. Next time, I take 9.
-
Last time I tried for a heroic dose it was too much for my stomach to handle. Do you think it would be a good idea to say make tea out of 8 capsules and use that to flush down another 16? I want it to go down easier but I don't want the trip to be too much shorter.
-
When I go into larger doses, I make teas. It is much easier for me to condense it down into a 12oz glass of tea.. then if you want to space out the dose, drink half to start, wait till the beginning of the peak and drink the rest..
I've found my stomach too, does not like 26 capsules to dissolve.. it can be done, but 12oz of tea is an easier ritual.

I have to agree.
Little background, I'm a heavy LSD user. Haven't done shrooms in many many years. I ordered the 100 pack of these.
Took 7 (3.5g) when I got them. Not much of a trip. Some patters but not much. Felt good and euphoric tho.
Waited a week and last night I tried them again.
9pm - Took 12(6g) waited an hour, felt it but not the intense visuals I wanted.
+1 h -Took another 10(5g). +
+2 h - was started to trip hard at this point, but no visuals. Felt much like XTC or a rave drug (haven't ever done any). I couldn't stop bouncing off the walls and jamming. Music was just completely different and beautiful.
+3 h - I start to calm down and look for visuals. Some slight color changes, wavy-ness, and water-like shine every-where. I could almost see the strands of reality or something... It still wasen't the rollercoster visuals I get from 5 hits of acid..... So I took another 5g.
Midnight - 16g total. Still jumping around like it's a rave playing my fav music. I'm startin to feel extra ones I took after the initial does hit heavy. I deiced to smoking and hopefully relax a little.
My friend and I are smoking (he only took the 12 and said he is not having that great visuals but they are there). He says mentions to me that every shroom strain is different. So maybe they arn't a heavy visual but more of a OBE or meditation type of shroom. So after we got done smoking I went and sat down, closed my eyes and just meditated and reflected and focused on breathing and look for you're 3rd eye type of thing.
After the song finished music stopped, I opened my eyes and... well... I was seeing for the first time. The best I can explain it, I saw with my third eye. Nothing was physical anymore. I only could see like the reflection of the light, there was no walls or floor anymore just the light that existed from reflection. Light was raining everywhere like sparks falling from a welding torch.
Objects were there but they just diden't exist in reality anymore. They were like play dough that bubbled when light bounced.
At this point, I start to freak out a bit. I'v been tripping for 10 years and never felt or seen like this before. Reality melted in everyway around me.
I couldn't deal with the intensity closing my eyes or feeling my physical body for a second. It was much to scary
All I could do is run around in circles and jam to music. Gravity lost meaning. I would stand next to a wall and melt into it. Close my eyes and I would feel like I am leaving my body. Every time I would open my eyes, what color I saw would simply strobe through a rainbow in seconds.
One of, if not the best trips of my life. I went to another level I have never been before.
These shrooms are 100% a closed eye experience.
On the light dose, there is some light visuals and it's reminiscent of cubensis, but its nothing like them.
A large dose, the visuals are nothing like LSD or the cubensis. It's not walls breathing or shapes drifting. There is much more light distortion, depth perception changes, and object recognition becomes no-longer 3D but in layers.
Close eye-experience is where this trip makes its mark. Close your eyes on these shrooms and you will find your chi.
Get into some amazing close-eye-visuals. Then open your eyes and they will still be there.
In a week I plan to the same large does. But this time fully-experience the trip... I was much too shy and resisted the full experience. Will be taking the same dose but all at once.

I have already reviewed Galindoi in a few other threads so I will keep this short. I purchased the sample, sent this person a few dollars over the internet and he sent me a gift... yes there was some swag included in my package, but the gift of the experience was amazing. Best trip on a "shroom" I have had yet. Smooth all the way, and the come down was easy.
As soon as I have some more bones, I will be purchasing from Galindoi again. First one to go on my favorite vendors list. Thanks Galindoi.

Dont ask why as I have no idea but the these Galindoi shroom capsules have taken me so much further than any other shrooms, period. I've tried straight psilocibin, I've had some psilocin analogues and I've had Galindoi's from other vendors and neither of them compared at all with these capsules.
Not to mention the stealth. I just ordered another package from this guy and I cant wait to get it. Galindoi is the best.
-
I purchased the 10 pack sample a while back and ate 5.5 and had a wonderfully mellow, blissful experience. After sitting for approx 6 months I gave the rest to a friend who was going through a rough patch in life and the next day the guy couldn't stop smiling. His mood was lifted, and there was a twinkle in his eyes that had been missing for some time.
As soon as funds permit I will be grabbing a larger batch for when the psyche needs a good cleansing.
And i absolutely agree with you ianfleming, there is something different with these. After trying many different strains of cubes and also 4-AcO, 4-HO-met these are uniquely different and better in almost every way.
Cheers Galindoi, keep doing what you do.
-
Yeah, I will buy shrooms from noone else.
-
I will have another update in another month of Galindois mushrooms.
I loved these mushrooms, and I have been suffering from depression for 15+ years so far. I'm 2 weeks in, taking a capsule everyday to see if it makes a difference. So far the results are awesome, not sure if they are placebo effects, but thats why I will have a full update in a month.
By the way it looks so far, in just 2 short weeks, these have helped me way more than any medication ever has.
-
I suggest doses at a minimum of 10 capsules, it was one of the most profound trips I've ever experienced in my life.
-
I went with 8 capsules, and that was a litlle more than I wanted. haha, 10 would be way over the top for me.
-
8? Thats it lol, imagine 15 :) Thats why I did basically for my first trip after I tried 5 and they didn't do anything..
15 is just a holy shit of a time. I hope next time I do the same its just as fun. I would love to do it somewhere in nature as well.

I had a great experience on 4 capsules last night :) Here is a short report:
Galandoi sent me 24 capsules (ordered 20) so I took the extras to judge the potency. I was pleasantly surprised. Taken with a small meal and a couple beers to ease my anxieties, the come up was slow and easy. I usually experience nausea and pretty bad anxiety on the come up, but these were just so smooth and easy. I had no stomach discomfort at all, and just gradually slipped into that shroomy headspace. About 2 hours in I had reached the peak. Strong body high, dialated pupils, although I still had some mental clarity. I experience some light visuals. Things were slightly breathing and wiggling. I saw some very colorful fractal patterns when looking at a white wall, and some great fractals when I closed my eyes.
I turned on an Umphrey's Mcgee show and enjoyed the music while having a bit of an introspective session. I tried to go on a walk outside but it was dark and cold, so I decided to try and experience nature in another way. I went back inside and turned on the documentary TV show 'The Blue Planet'. The episode was about deep sea abyss creatures and it was incredible. The bioluminescence of those creatures is absolutely beautiful and so surreal. And some of those fish are absolutely terrifying (angler fish)! After that I listened to more music, smoked some bowls and enjoyed a slow peaceful comedown. I fell asleep about 8 hours after my dose. Woke up this morning feeling pretty good.
Overall a very nice experience. 4 capsules was a comfortable dose to get me back into the game (it had been a couple years since my last trip). I plan on taking more next time. Thanks Galindoi!
