Psilocybe Montana - a description, where the toxicity of the fungus grows

Mushrooms containing psilocybin can cause disastrous consequences for those who regularly consume them. Substances that are produced in them throughout the entire period of development are very dangerous for humans. The species of psilocybe is represented by 20 different genera, one of which is Montana. The history of the psilocybe came in thanks to the Indians, who used them in rites.

Detailed description

The described fungus Psilocybemontana or as it is also called mountain psilocybe, belongs to the Strofariyev family. The psychoactive substances contained in it make it one of the most poisonous and toxic fungi. Therefore, so that he does not accidentally get into your basket, it is important to imagine what he looks like:

In diameter, the cap of the mushroom is small. It reaches only 2.5 cm.Her thin-fleshy cap has radial notches at the edges, reaching half its radius. The color scheme depends on the humidity. So, in sunny weather without precipitation, the fungus is yellow-brown. And after a heavy rain, it becomes dark brown. Only a newly grown mushroom somewhat later flattens its semicircular shape. In the center of the cap of a ripe mushroom infrequently, but you can find a mastoid tubercle.

The thin flesh of Montana is brown.

On the back of the cap, you can see the plates of the fungus. In the process of further maturation of the fungus, these plates begin to darken.

Where is the mushroom and its fruiting

Very often psilocybe montana grows in sandy soil, hidden by dense thickets of fern. Near it are found and areas with lichens and mosses. Mushroom can be found in the mountains, which are abundantly covered with dense forests.

Psilocybe Montana bears fruit twice a year.The first period of its fruiting occurs at the end of May and until the beginning of July. The second is from August to October. Sometimes you can find this fungus in December. It all depends on the climate in which it lives. The psychotropic effect of the fungus on a person leads to a strict ban on its circulation in most countries. For a long time, fruiting only complicates the fight against its illicit trafficking.

The effect of hallucinogen on the human body

During the development process of the toxic fungus, they produce psilocybin. As is well known, this substance is a strong psychedelic. Penetrating into the body, psilocybin is converted to another substance - psilocin. And the effect of this substance is already similar to the effect of the effects on the central nervous system of LSD and mescaline. In order for the following signs to appear clearly, it is enough to consume only 10 grams of psilocybin:

1. Disrupted the normal perception of space and time. It becomes far from reality.
2. Bad sensitivity of the body.
3. The appearance of various sound and figurative hallucinations (the appearance of someone else's "speech" in the head; a series of rapidly replacing each otherbright images and images).
4. Instability of mood. Fast jumps from pleasure to panic attacks.
5. Spasmodic muscle contraction.
6. Increased sweating.
7. Disruption of the cardiovascular system.
8. Physical exhaustion.
9. Often dizzy.
10. Disorders in the gastrointestinal tract.

There are cases of overdose in the history of psychotropic fungi. With her often die people with a sick heart.

The natural effects of taking these mushrooms

Instead of the desired relaxation, the constant use of psilocybin will lead to a severe form of chronic dependence. It is not necessary to assume that such dependence does not represent any danger. If there is a constant craving for psilocybin, it already speaks of drug addiction with its dire consequences:

• Critical decrease in intellectual and physical indicators.
• Permanent depression.
• Suicidal tendencies.
• The appearance of problems with the law.

In the end, the person who was looking for a way to break away would suffer a complete degradation, the finale of which would most likely be his death. After all, psilocybe Montana belongs to the class of hallucinogenic fungi.They can be a source of heavy addiction for anyone who dares to try them.
