Surprisingly, I couldn't find many threads about MUSHBUD's powdered mushroom samples that he sold for dirt cheap even though he made over 300 sales. The reviews that I could find are scarce and lack much detail. I also found out his forum account lacks the necessary 50 posts to post here so I thought I'd start a review thread for him. This is a long read, just warning you now.
MUSHBUD 10g Powdered Psilocybe Cubensis (Penis Envy) Sample Review and Trip Report, 2nd Batch
Shipping Time: I placed the order on a Monday morning and the product was declared in transit the same day. The package arrived domestically Thursday morning without any problems.
Stealth: The package was extremely simple and non-discrete; hard to imagine that it would draw any attention to itself. The product was ground to a fine powder and was double vacuum-sealed to prevent any odors escaping and oxidization/degradation of potency. Very happy with the care that was put into the packaging.
Communication: I stored the mushrooms in a drawer for a few days before getting a chance to try it out, since it was vacuum-sealed I was not worried about oxidization of the powder until I had to cut open the seal to weigh out 5gs. Before doing so, I messaged MUSHBUD and asked him how I could store the rest of the powder to preserve its potency. He replied extremely quickly and provided a detailed explanation that helped a lot. Excellent communication and professionalism.
Product: After weighing, the powder came in .5g overweight at 10.5g. I gave 5g to a good friend of mine who had never tried psychedelics before; his only drug experience prior to this was extensive use of marijuana. He ended up taking 2g with his girlfriend who had 1g, the girlfriend also had no experience with psychedelics. After tripping, the friend told me they had an amazing time with slight visuals and heavy introspection and had developed a new appreciation for psychedelics. The night of the trip (after the comedown) my friend took the other 2 grams and smoked a few bowls in hopes of a more profound experience. He reported afterwards that it had stimulated his musical and practical creativity and also provided deep introspection into the meaning of life, family and happiness. Overall, he was extremely grateful to me (and consequently MUSHBUD) for providing him the opportunity for such an experience. He is now contemplating abstinence from weed (which he smokes on a daily basis) and tripping on mushrooms once ever 3-4 weeks instead. A week later I tripped on the remaining 5.5g with my girlfriend as well. I have some experience with various psychedelics and it was my 8th time tripping on mushrooms and my girlfriend's first time with any psychedelic. We also had an amazing experience that will be documented in the following trip report. In comparison to my other mushrooms trips, MUSHBUD's powder is similar in potency and is definitely the real deal.
Overall, a well deserved 10/10 in all categories. MUSHBUD has provided quality service and product that definitely surpasses what he has priced his mushrooms at. I would purchase from him again even if he tripled the price of his 10g packages (which is still a competitive price if you look at other mushroom vendors).
Finally, the trip report (this is very extensive and a long read so please bear that in mind):
I had not tripped on mushrooms for quite a few months since I have been experimenting with other psychedelics (and also because life has been busy). When I found out about MUSHBUD's promotions, I thought it would be the perfect chance to revisit the first psychedelic I've ever tried and also to introduce my girlfriend to psychedelics. It took a bit of convincing, but she eventually warmed up to the idea of trying this natural, harmless drug. Since I was the one providing the experience, I wanted it to be perfect so I spent a few hours planning during the days prior to the trip. I made a diverse playlist that provided a full spectrum of moods, ranging from EDM to classical to rock and downloaded The Secret World of Arrietty, a relatively new Studio Ghibli film that was supposed to be beautifully animated with deep underlying themes.
The night before the trip, we went out for an early dinner around 6 and went to bed early as well. The following day was beautiful, 30 degrees with clear blue skies and a gentle breeze. We woke up around 9 very well-rested, I picked her up at 10:30 and brought her back to my house. We didn't eat that morning and took the mushrooms at 11 o'clock. I boiled some water and weighed out 3.3g for me and 2.2g for her, we mixed the powder into the boiling water and drank the mixture while eating a small brownie. There was a bit of residue in the cups so we ended up refilling twice to make sure we drank all the powder. This satisfied the little hunger we had and we were ready to trip so we sat down on the couch and I put on the movie.
We watched the movie during the comeup because I felt the anxiety and confusion could potentially lead to a bad trip for my girlfriend and focusing on the movie would help ease those sensations. What I didn't expect was how rapid the onset of the mushrooms would be and the intensity that came with it. 5 minutes into the movie, my limbs started to feel heavy. 10 minutes in and I was already starting to notice slight visuals and color changes. My girlfriend had been quiet up until 15 minutes when she suddenly exclaimed that the 'butterflies in her stomach' were getting really intense and that she was feeling a bit overwhelmed. I told her to just let the feeling wash over her and soon the feeling would go away. 20 minutes in and we were already tripping, the TV looked like it was breathing and it constantly looked like the screen was shaking as if there was an earthquake going on. The colors started to become extremely vibrant, constantly changing shades as the screen bubbled. At this point, I got heavily immersed into the movie and felt like I had been transported into a different world. Shortly after, my girlfriend started talking about how much fun she was having and how amazing she was feeling. She talked about how emotionally invested she felt towards the characters and how powerful certain scenes were. About an hour in, my girlfriend had to use the washroom so we paused the movie. When she got up, she just stood there for a minute and almost fell down in laughter. She had just now realized the extent at which she was tripping and how bizarre the living room looked. It seemed like everything had come to life around her, especially the painting of a ship sailing through the moonlight that was hanging on the wall. When she finally regained composure she slowly hobbled to the washroom and did her business. While she was gone I closed me eyes and almost immediately a million thoughts started racing through my mind, I had some beautifully intricate CEVs and it felt like my brain was running on overdrive. When I heard my girlfriend coming back I opened my eyes and for a second it looked like the movie was playing but I hadn't unpaused it. It took me a few seconds to realize that the movie was actually still paused and I was just tripping. My girlfriend sat down and stared at my face, she talked about how she could see so many colors that weren't there before and about how huge my pupils were dilated, I looked into her eyes and noticed the same thing. We stared into each others eyes for a moment and finally ended up kissing; the kiss was magical and conveyed more emotion than I could have written in an entire book. We kissed for a few minutes and then talked a bit about the movie and how we were feeling before unpausing it. The last half hour of the movie was really intense and my girlfriend teared up several times, we truly felt connected to their world. I would recommend watching it to anyone, especially while you're tripping on your psychedelic of choice.
After the movie we went outside onto the deck in the backyard. It felt really nice to leave the air-conditioned house and feel the sunlight on my skin. By now, it was 1 PM and the hottest time of the day. Almost immediately, I started sweating and had to take off my shirt which felt extremely liberating. It was also relaxing to leave the dimly lit living room and be outside in the beautiful weather. We spent about an and a half sitting on the patio and talking about life, love, family and friends. We talked about the future and where we were headed and also the past and how far we've come; the entire time I was massaging her legs and feet. We stared at the sky and the trees and wondered in amazement at how beautiful nature was and how lucky we were to be alive. She expressed extreme gratitude for 'opening up' her mind and also showed interest in trying LSD with me someday, a substance she was adamantly against trying prior to the trip. While on the deck, we felt what could only be described as euphoria, a pure bliss that brought along inner peace and complete contentedness with life. It was here where I briefly felt like I had come one step closer to self-actualization in a way that I've never felt before, a feeling that I had been searching for many years and could be described as level 4 in Maslow's hierarchy of needs. I felt a level of self-esteem and confidence that seemed really foreign to me, I felt like life was perfect and I was completely comfortable with myself, what I had accomplished, and the path that my life was going down. This feeling lasted for an hour and when it started fading, I knew that the trip was coming to an end. As I write this now I still remember the feeling and it hasn't completely left me, I understand that I have to achieve this on my own without the use of psychedelics but I'm extremely grateful to the mushrooms for giving me much needed guidance.
It was 2:30 when the trip ended, it had only lasted 3 and a half hours but had the intensity as if I ingested 5g of mushrooms. This is probably due to a combination of our empty stomachs, the boiling water and also the finely powdered mushrooms. Although we weren't tripping anymore, as we came inside we were still feeling amazing and decided to go to my room. I carried her upstairs and gently placed her on my bed, I put on the playlist I had made and we made love. The experience was beautiful, it felt like I was falling in love with her all over again and I could tell she felt the same way. Afterwards, we reflected on the trip as we cuddled in bed. She was really excited to trip again, but in a forest where we could explore the wonders of nature. We talked for a few hours before leaving for her mom's house for a BBQ, which provided much needed nutrients and a nice conclusion to our day.
Thank you MUSHBUD, for what you have provided for myself and my friends. Your mushrooms have touched us in an indescribable way and for that I can only express my sincere gratitude. I look forward to buying from you again and hope you the best in your endeavors on the Silkroad!
Much love,
Tilted

My powder arrived -- 11 days from Canada to Israel! Holy shit.
Haven't tested it yet.

Received my pack from Mushbud probably a month ago, finally got around to testing them yesterday. Split the 10g pack up between me and 2 friends and we lemon tek'd it. Within 30 minutes we were getting very nice visuals and we tripped for a solid 4-5 hours which is long for a lemon tek. Overall great experience, I'll be buying another pack later tonight.

Product arrived to East Coast U.S.A in less than a week. Absolutely flawless stealth and shipping, I was very impressed. I haven't tested the product but I look very much forward to completing more transactions with MUSHBUD in the future.

Bump for Mushbud. I just got my 2nd sample pack from him (haven't sampled yet). It arrived in 4 business days international (WOW!) and was even stealthier than last time! And the powder is very well sealed.
The first sample pack was awesome. I split 10g with a friend and we were in another dimension for sure. Maybe next time I will take 3g instead haha.
10/10 vendor!

Just wanted to mention...
I tasted half an eighth of my sample pack, and it gave me an excellent trip -- 4-5 hours of pure, mellow joy. I spent the first half at the beach, just becoming one with the sand and water... then hiked up onto a grassy hill and watched the sea from up there. Did I mention that the beach I went to is a beach for dog owners, and that by pure dumb luck I found the sweet spot on the dosage curve that made playing with dozens of wet excited dogs just about the most awesome thing in the world?
I highly recommend preparing a Lemon Tek with Mushbud's powder, since it's already powdered! Just soak the amount of powder you want in a shot of fresh lemon juice, let it sit for 20-30 minutes, then chug it down. I drank the solids too, although apparently after it's soaked for enough time, all the active compounds are extracted into the liquid, and the solids can be filtered out. The acids in the lemon juice turn the psilocybin (most common compound in the mushrooms) into psilocin (less common, more active), sparing your body the need to perform that conversion.
TL;DR: Mushbud's powder was soaked in lemon juice, and many balls were tripped.

MUSHBUD is an absolutely fantastic vendor and I'd highly recommend placing an order from them. I know I will again ASAP once I'm settled into my new home.
The shipping was very swift and the packaging was superb. The powder was double sealed and well protected.
The product itself was amazing. On day one, I took three grams in capsules after fasting a bit. I had an absolutely amazing trip full of music and love. I had a very fun time rolling around with my dog and singing about Becoming Insane and whatnot. The colors of the world were as bright as Crayola; when I went out for a smoke, the night sky began to look like the aurora borealis. I decided that I wanted to live a life of sex, drugs and rock and roll despite already having the last two.
The day after, I decided I should finish up my drug supply before it was time to move. I decided to take seven grams via lemontek, presuming it'd be less strong given any tolerances from the night before. Boy, was I wrong. I experienced ego death for the first time. I'm a staunch atheist, yet I felt as if I'd entered another plane of existence where I could perceive every human's life merely by thinking about it. Temporarily, I was god- in the sense of the collection of everybody's souls. Any childhood memory I could think of, I could relive. Nearing the end of the night, I worried I'd never gain my sanity again- but I wasn't too bothered by it. When I slept and woke up the next day, I felt fantastic (and sane!)
Finally, MUSHBUD is charging an amazing price for the amount of product :-) As much as I hate to say it, I wouldn't mind paying more.

…singing about Becoming Insane and whatnot.
Infected Mushroom on a shroom trip? Nice!
At least SOMETHING good comes out of my country...

Can you elaborate on this a bit? What kind of "godness" did you experience? How did/does this jive with your being an atheist?
I'm asking this as somebody with a totally naturalistic worldview (a "bright") who hasn't ever experienced quite that strong an ego death... although I did one time scribble down something to the tune of "The all-mind has just attained self-awareness", if that counts.
