I recently took a vial of the liquid mushrooms by TripWithScience with a few other friends (one vial each). It was a good trip and I enjoyed the contents very much. I will likely be taking more than one vial next time I purchase. Will definitely purchase again.
Hey everyone, Trip here. I wanted to thank everyone for the reviews and all the good will, and since a lot of this thread is asking about the difference between psychedelic Research Chemichals (RCs) and psilocybin found in mushrooms , I thought I'd answer some of those quetions.
Here's the process I use to make this liquid:
1) I grow my own mushrooms in a secure environment. I'm quite proud of my setup in that it facilitates quick and healthy mycelium and mushroom fruiting bodies. I grow Cambodian and Golden Teacher races. I've grown a few others in the past, but those two produce the most for me. I use the casing method to grow them in a rye-berry based substrate.
2) Once the fruiting bodies are harvested, I dry them out completely and grind them into powder.
3) Soak the powder in an ethanol alcohol wash for a week, agitating it gently every few days to maximize the psilocybin dissolved in the slurry, but not violently shaking it since I want to minimize the contact of the psilocybin with oxygen.
4) pour the slurry into a buchner funnel and use vacuum pressure to pull out all the liquid, which is stored in a vacuum container in the fridge to minimize heat, uv radiation, and oxygen breakdown of the psilocybin.
5) repeat steps 3 & 4 for a total of 4 or 5 washes. The first wash gets most of it out, but I want to be certain that I've extracted 95% or more of the alkaloids from the fungal material.
6) evaporate the remaining mixture down to my desired concentration, so that one vial equals 2g of dried mushrooms. Since I lose some of the psilocybin in the process, I calculate 2.05 - 2.10g of original material to each vial so that the end result is 2g worth of psilocybin.
7) One more filtration to remove any sediment left or discoloration.
How can you tell that this liquid is NOT 4-aco-dmt (or some other Research Chemical)?
Here are a few thoughts:
a) I's slightly yellow and still tastes like mushroom-flavored liqueur. (I've tried to filter out the flavor as much as possible - as much as I love the way mushrooms taste in my brain, my tongue is still not a fan. But some smell and taste always remains.)
b) You can read other customer's reviews and experiences:

I had a whole year of reviews on the Silk Road 2.0 forums, but that got shut down. Luckily I had scraped the thread a few weeks before so I have a copy of everything written there - I just don't know a good forum where I can post a couple hundred forum reviews for the public.
I've had some customers tell me that they've taken my liquid to have it analyzed, and have reported back their findings. Feel free to do the same - and if so please post a review on one of the above sites.
c) My understanding of 4-aco-dmt, and any similar research chemical (RC) for that matter, is that it becomes unstable if dissolved in liquid. So I would expect there would be potency issues if someone tried to ship vials of it in liquid unrefrigerated. So dissolving a chemical would result in more work, extra weight and shipping cost, all for a less-potent and more problematic result.
d) I'm, like, way too cool to pull a switcheroo and give my loyal customers crap from a who-knows-where lab in China.
And to answer another question - yes, I'd be willing to do an AMA. I could answer questions about mycology, fun things to do on mushrooms, and (limited) questions about what it's like to be a small-time vendor on the darknet.
I'm quite proud of this liquid, and really-truly appreciate the feedback from customers about their experiences. There's a lot of work that goes into producing it, and even more meticulous work to keep myself and my customers safe. I take a lot of care in making sure my stealth is top-notch, and I stand behind my product. I've had a lot of people mention in their reviews and in PMs that I helped them have the best trip of their lives. For that, I'm humbled and grateful.
Thanks all,
Trip
