This isn’t my inaugural mountain hike, but it marked my first venture to Minaret Lake Trail, accompanied by Big Daddy mushrooms (BD). I must confess, whereas others found the challenging trail daunting, I moved forward undeterred, like a creature in its natural surroundings. Given the height of the mountain, additional energy was required, and Big Daddy was my preferred choice.

Key Takeaways:

  • BD mushrooms are potent varieties that can induce powerful hallucinations. However, the effects may differ when consumed in smaller quantities.
  • The mushrooms intensified visual awareness and fostered a deeper connection with nature, promoting a novel perspective.
  • Even when consumed in minor amounts, the onset might commence around thirty minutes later, characterized by a soothing warmth spreading throughout the body.

Scaling Heights and Mushrooms: My Trekking Journey

I’ve climbed countless mountains and navigated numerous trails, including Skyline, Fundy, and Bruce. My most recent endeavor was the Minaret Lake Trail. I felt an irresistible urge to take up this challenge, and it proved to be one of the most strenuous trails I’ve ever navigated.

The mountain was magnificent. Despite the rugged terrain, the vista from the peak was absolutely stunning, with alpine lakes dotting the landscape. The surrounding panorama, highlighted by glistening snowcaps crowning the mountains, was equally captivating.

The experience was exceptional, particularly because of the distinctive connection I forged with nature, courtesy of the mushrooms I ingested.

The High-Stamina Trek

The hike was not a lone undertaking; it was a collective journey. We had a shared understanding to climb together for everyone’s well-being. Judging by their athletic physiques and previous experiences, it appeared they could tackle the trail with ease.

However, that proved to be a false assumption. My hiking companions were out of breath just an hour into the hike. While they eventually reached the peak, their experience was less enjoyable compared to mine, which was enhanced due to psilocybin.

The energy surge from the Big Daddy mushrooms transformed me into an unstoppable entity, relentless, indefatigable, and keen to embrace the wilderness that awaited me as nature’s ultimate gift. I’m not suggesting that

It energized my physical movements and fortified my body for the continuous ascent.

Instead, the experience was so calming that I barely noticed any tiredness. The brisk wind of the Sierra Nevada mountains failed to discomfort me. My heightened sense of hearing gave me the feeling that I was capable of communicating with the birds.

Essentially, I was so absorbed in reestablishing my connection with nature that the notion of “fatigue” disappeared from my mind.

The Obstacles

Admittedly, experiencing mushrooms while hiking comes with its own set of challenges, especially considering the rugged landscape. Certain elements went well, while others did not go as expected. These were minor issues, such as getting so disoriented that I unintentionally strayed from my original route.

Preparation: My Approach for the Experience

Planning a hike doesn’t require a rigid itinerary, but following fundamental hiking principles is essential. If you’re thinking of consuming Big Daddy magic mushrooms, extra caution is warranted. Start by familiarizing yourself with the potential side effects during the trip.

Getting Familiar with Big Daddy

A noteworthy detail about BD is that its name originates from its remarkable physical characteristics. They resemble a paternal figure with a robust stem and a not fully bloomed cap.

The mushrooms exhibit deep, earthy tones of brown, tan, and gold, making them easy to recognize.

Potency

If you were to consult a psychonaut or a mushroom specialist for a recommendation of a powerful variety, BD would likely be their suggestion. Its name reflects its potency—it’s a surpassing experience. They are powerful and promise a profound psychedelic journey. Their effects can include:

  • Enhanced sensory perception
  • Deep introspection
  • Altered state of consciousness
  • Intense euphoric feeling

While they are best suited for experienced users, novices can also enjoy them in lower doses. However, the effects can vary based on individual tolerance, consumption method, and metabolic rate.

Suggested Intake

All kinds of magic mushrooms can be suitable for individuals irrespective of their experience level, be it a novice or a seasoned user. The key lies in determining the correct dosage.

Assessing the Hiking Landscape

Prior to embarking on a hike, it’s critical to investigate trails you’re confident about completing, especially if you’re planning to consume shrooms. My successful adventure was not only attributed to the stunning vistas and nature, but also to strategic planning around the consumption of psilocybin. 

The winding trail provided me an opportunity to assess my visual enhancements; despite some disorientation, the path seemed clear and direct in its winding course. Also, given shrooms’ ability to intensify one’s connection with nature, Sierra Nevada seemed like an excellent starting point to me.

Accurate Dosage

If you’re a novice, it’s advisable to start with a small dosage. Fifty milligrams was the perfect start for me. However, for seasoned users, a moderate to high dosage is fitting. 2g might be enough, but for those looking to push the limits, 5g is the recommended dosage.

What to Pack?

Before embarking on any trip, pack essential items such as:

  • An emergency medical kit
  • Emergency whistles or signaling gadgets
  • A mobile phone (although, it’s likely there won’t be any reception in mountainous regions)
  • A headlamp or flashlight
  • Light refreshments and water

The Ascent: My Hiking Adventure with Big Daddy Shrooms

“There’s always gonna be another mountain, I’m always gonna wanna make it move…”

My intention isn’t to be overly dramatic. This is just the impact the mushrooms had on me. It felt as if all obstacles were rendered invisible, and I had an unshaken determination to tackle any terrain. This change in perspective could very well be attributed to the introspective influence of the mushrooms.

Effects Timeline

  • Prologue: About 30 minutes after consuming the small dose, I started to feel its gradual effects. A gentle warmth spread across my body. My surroundings became more vibrant as the psilocybin enhanced my visual senses. I became more keenly aware of the smallest details, the textures, the way rocks and debris descended. A peaceful atmosphere surrounded me.
  • Peak: Approximately one hour and 30 minutes in, the peak of the effects began to cover me. I was filled with determination. The birds’ songs seemed as if they were in conversation with me, and unknowingly, I found myself mimicking their calls. The environment felt incredibly inviting.
  • Epilogue: The comedown was peaceful, instilling a sense of confidence and mental calm. The four-hour journey began to wind down as we neared the mountain peak. The sharpness of my senses gradually lessened. It reminded me of the songs from the 70s, where each track ends with the music and vocals slowly fading out. The effects were still noticeable even after the journey, helping me to stay focused.

Learnings from the Experience

The trip was mainly uplifting. Careful planning and setting the right goals allowed me to complete this journey successfully. I consumed the Big Daddy mushroom in a serene, safe setting, surrounded by nature, to fully enjoy the experience without any interruptions.

I made it a point to be in a positive frame of mind before the experience. This helped enhance my mental stamina for the trail.

Timing and disorientation posed two challenges. The sudden onset caught me off guard, and navigating the uneven terrain became confusing at the peak. In hindsight, it might have been wiser to wait for the effects to level off before starting the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I incorporate it into my food for subtle consumption?

Absolutely. You can brew it into a lemon tek or grind the dried components and incorporate them into your homemade meals or snacks. You can also add them to your drinks for effortless consumption.

Should I start my hike during the peak effects or wait until they subside?

The ideal timing for your psychedelic journey depends on the dosage and your experience level. For higher doses, it’s safer to experience the trip before hiking. You can commence your hike after the peak effects have worn off to enjoy the peaceful aftermath. If you plan to hike while under the influence, stick to low or moderate doses.

Do I need prior hiking experience to take shrooms?

If you’re new to both psychedelics and hiking, it’s advisable to first try them independently. Start with a low to moderate dose of mushrooms and take a short walk in a calm, familiar place to get used to the altered state of consciousness and the act of walking.
