Looks more like a gymnocalycium or maybe a matucana. It has had too much sun and water by the looks of it. Change the soil to a much more rocky and gritty mix which little to no organics and leave it dry for a while before watering again. Only water when it's gobe totally dry and it will need a...

My message is totally my own theory so easily ignored. The native people who use these cacti as ethogenic tools asigned great spiritual meaning to the variouse differences in the plants which are lost on most western cultures. The 4 ribbed expression is said to represent the 4 winds and...

Its really all debatory, individual plants within a species can vary in alkaliod diversity and quantity. Echinopsis Peruvianus does have more variety of alkaliods but most will want high mescaline so other species such as echinopsis langiformis (formaly trichocereus bridgesii) echinopsis...

The rhipsalis is native to south america as well but migratory birds have spread it through out the tropics. It is theorised that the evolution of cacti stared when the ancient super continent gondwala split to form African and America with the gradual continental drift causing them the...

The correct amphibian is the cane toad bufo marinas. The poison glads behind the eyes are squeezed like spots and the liquid the comes out allowed to crystallise and then smoked in a pipe. Not a fun trip dont do it, it lingers for weeks and the smoking of it is kinda addictive with anecdotal...

Check out my pictures CactiGuide.com • View topic - my collection so far....

Nice aztekiums they are on my want but are expensive. ImI'm thinking or starting seeds of them at some point but kinda lost for space at the moment. I got Epithelantha micromeris, lophophora williamsii, trichocereus pachanoi, turbinicarpus alonsoi, ariocarpus kotschoubeyanus macdowelli...

Fast growth is not good. The slower psychedelic cacti the better. The alkaloids you want are deffence mechanism. The harder the conditions the more they produce to cope. Lophophora use mescaline and a pesticide and antifreeze. The more quickly the growth the more water the cells will contain...

Nice collection you have there. I have had more succes with seeds lately I now have turbinicarpus lophophoroides, pseudopectinatus and Epithelantha micromeris going strong. Got some ariocarpus mixed species just sprouting. Discocactus mixed and Blossfeldia liliputania about a month in. Also my...

Apparently they are psychoactive if you read some sources but I have since done further research and I now think it is a false statement. These cacti may well have been referred to as peyote but this seems to be a far more generic name given to any cacti use for any non food consumption. They...

You posted this on cactiguide forum? Any way it just looks sun stressed nothing wrong just give it a bit of shade. In the wild they grown under bushes, in crevices between rocks or mostly buried so only get a little direct light. Also the soil looks to organic. You might want to change it to a...

I would suggest having a go at some salvia divinorum smoking it in a pipe. It does not last long but gives you a good idea of what to expect. Other psychedelics will have a similar effect but duration will be much longer. I had lsd first but you will find lsd, mushrooms and mescaline all fairly...

If mushrooms where not spiritual then you did not take enough they are by far the strongest I have come across where in wales do you live they grow every where near me just pick more nect season from end of September.

Yes deffinatelly go with a san pedro brew its much more environmentally friendly. Peyote are an endangered species in the wild just because people want to get high, what ever reason they attribute to the use of this cacti. Or alternatively obtain seeds which can easily purchased from safe...

but there is one more concern that i have too heard that very few species of the mudrooms are eatable and rest of them remains poisonous .. how must the fact is true ? Lots of mushroom are poisonous which is why carfull identification is required. If you dont know dont eat it you could die. Do...

That statement is very wrong. Liberty caps are the common name for psylocybe semilanceata a very distict species. All the different species names represent different mushroom found in different parts of the world. Many are also sub-species which is why you can get more than one type of cubensis...

They all look like different variaties of myrtilocactus I think. Possibly geometrizans or eichlamii not psychoactive but nice cacti although sunburnt, give them a little shade or broken light in the hotest part of the day.

They not Psilocybe semilanceata. They in woods for a start. If you do try them do the skin and lips test check how to check foods in survival guides dont kill you self. And dont worry if they bad the season's only just starting there will be more.

Ok, I found this Psilocybe cyanescens.Psilocybe Mushrooms - Fungi.com But do some research before eating. Dry them on top of paper in the mean time.

Possibly there is one species that grows in pine let me find something online. Don't eat them yet.
