When you eat mushrooms and nothing happens — what actually went wrong
478 replies · First Time
First time last week. Took 2.5g. Waited 2.5 hours. Mild stomach stuff, some color saturation. That's it. Everyone I know has intense experiences at this dose. Not on any medications. What went wrong?
First possibility: spore syringe contamination or non-viable spores. Not saying that's what happened but 'nothing at 2.5g' is unusual enough that the material itself is worth examining.
Second possibility: CYP2D6 ultrarapid metabolizer. This enzyme processes psilocin much faster than average — ultrarapid metabolizers often need 50-100% more material to achieve the same effect. This is genetic and can be tested.
Third possibility: the experience happened but wasn't what you expected. A lot of first-timers expect dramatic visuals and miss the subtler effects — the emotional shift, the enhanced music appreciation, the change in thought quality. If you were watching TV and waiting to feel something, you may have missed it.
