Today, I was at a party where I ate bowl of disgusting snacks because I didn't want to drink on an empty stomach. I spent the next twelve hours trying to prevent the world from collapsing into millions of demonic shards, cause apparently that's what a large dose of magic mushrooms does. FML

That would explain why the world never collapsed into millions of demonic shards.

YDI for doing drugs while not being in holland
dumbass, were the only ones that can take mushrooms responsibly
he didn't know he was eating drugs. he thought they were some sort of snack.

FYI, even in our country, paddos are illegal. Every kind of drug is illegal, including THC. Look up 'opiumwet'.
#102 - On 11/15/2009 at 5:26am by arienh4
I agree, not only do 'shrooms taste really nasty, they're also dry as hell and really hard to swallow. There is no way you ate a whole bowl of them and didn't think to ask anyone what they were. If you did, you're really dumb.
*EDIT: What the hell? This was not the comment I replied to.
Oh my gosh this is awesome. I had a friend who did almost this exact same thing and she was trippin' balls. Epic, man.

#50, they mean that it's not new at all, people have thought that for years.
#67 - On 11/14/2009 at 5:56pm by onyxindigo
I probably would have done the same thing if I was going to drink. Except I would have asked what it was first =P.
I don't pretend to be an expert on the culinary arts, but why would you eat a bowl of ANY kind of mushrooms by themself? There wasn't anything else to eat at a friggin' party?
#7 - On 11/14/2009 at 2:15pm by capthavoc123
i agree with #7, mushroom alone aren't the best snack food....you shoulda raided the fridge
#93 - On 11/14/2009 at 10:19pm by lefteye770
He didn't say it was a bowl of mushrooms. it could've been a batch of brownies or something else. A lot of people do put mushrooms into recepies, you know.
The psilocybin (the chemical that makes you trip) in mushrooms breaks down when exposed to heat, so they couldn't have been baked into brownies.
It could have been in chocolate, though, and it wouldn't have tasted fantastic.
#119 - On 11/15/2009 at 8:48pm by dmc0143
Are you sure psilocybin breaks down in heat? I thought it was just converted to psilocin, which your body does anyway (and which is why I thought some people took theirs in tea for faster/stronger effect). But I could be wrong.
Shrooms are different for everyone but I remember my first time thinking it was Easter and Christmas for awhile. Then I cried for a bit. And to top it all off my boyfriend was pretending to be a duck. Fun times!
Oh no, that just suck. I'm assuming you didn't know they were shrooms. Amusing as it is it does suck. Personally if I saw a bowl of mushrooms I'd have assumed it was appatizers not drugs myself, but I don't do any so I'm a bit nieve. I hope everything ended well. Oi, that really doesn't sound like fun for you though. Fun for spectators, not for you
#11 - On 11/14/2009 at 2:21pm by Spitfire86
not all mushrooms are drugs for one, and two, if you don't know there are drugs at the party shit happens. They look pretty much the same and this is comeing from someone whom cooks mushrooms for dinner conastantly (not the drug ones). Shrivled and dried out they mostly look the same.
#15 - On 11/14/2009 at 2:31pm by Spitfire86
No, trust me they do NOT look the same as a regular edible mushroom. They look like dried up shriveled leather, and have about the consistency. They look NOTHING at all like edible mushrooms. If this FML isn't bullshit then they had to have been ground up and put on another disgusting snack, because I don't know anyone who can eat magic shrooms straight. They literally taste like shit and make you vomit.
ah, I apologise, I've never been exposed, I assumed that they looked the same. -_-
#34 - On 11/14/2009 at 3:48pm by Spitfire86
I've eaten them straight almost every time. I mean, they don't taste great, but I don't get the whole "wanting to vomit thing". Lots of my friends battle, but I've just never has that problem . Maybe it's cos I don't really need that much to trip out?
Anyway, back on topic... Something simialr happened to a friend of mine on the way up to a camping trip. He ate almost a whole tin of biscuits. He didn't know they had marijuana in them. He was wasted for about 5 days straight.
I think if you don't know any better it's very easy to take something without realising it.
Actually, they look like dried shitake mushrooms, so yes, they do look like a form of edible mushrooms ;) Trust me, I am a chef by trade.
Um, no. I actually love the taste of shrooms. I ate some every day for two weeks straight once. Ouch. I think that was the last time I tripped shrooms. And for the record, I've never puked while eating them, or after for that matter.
#99 - On 11/14/2009 at 11:19pm by toomanycats
Hmm, I was about to call bull on the weed biscuits when I realized just how much butter is in biscuits. But they'd be greenish. Also, you'd have to eat a SHIT TON of weed to be stoned for FIVE days. Seriously. I know eating makes 'em last longer, but like...a LOT.
#107 - On 11/15/2009 at 10:34am by GrapefruitZoe
Always thought they tasted like stale bread... maybe with a slight hint of bitterness, but nothing vomit-inducing.
Reminds me of harold and kumar when they had da shrooms and saw unicorns
#13 - On 11/14/2009 at 2:27pm by mohamedrocks
I would have LOVED to have been there for that. Pure hilarity...
#17 - On 11/14/2009 at 2:32pm by prttyyngthng
If you really ate that many shrooms why didn't your body reject them? I don't know about you, but when I did them I was drinking ginger ale and eating ginger candy all night to keep from barfing and I only at half a normal does, and that goes for my ex whom was doing them with me. I imagine if you ate way over the normal dose you would have somewhere in this fml that you barfed.
#20 - On 11/14/2009 at 2:43pm by RaspberryK
Because not everyone reacts the same way to stuff. My boyfriend tried like 150 morning glory seeds and ate a little candied ginger and had no problems, but also absolutely no trip. Then he ate 400, threw up, couldn't eat anything (like ginger, yogurt, or OJ), and had no trip but felt HORRIBLE and buzzed for the whole next day; in fact, the only thing that made him feel better was listening to music.
#108 - On 11/15/2009 at 10:37am by GrapefruitZoe
fml is doing that sometimes-the-post-is-there and sometimes-it-is-not thing so I am copying/reposting:
"spent the next twelve hours trying to prevent the world from collapsing into millions of demonic shards"
You are so many shades of awesome, I am near panting at your linguistic prowess..
kudos, my dilated-eyed friend. fucking kudos.
for the people saying "how did you not know you were eating mushrooms"-not all magic mushrooms look like mushrooms. some can be flat and square like crackers or if it was just the caps they can look like small cookies.
They were probably ground into whatever was in the snack bowl
#64 - On 11/14/2009 at 5:44pm by dudeitsdanny
I call bullshit for sure. What kind of party are you attending where someone doesn't mind you eating all of their shrooms? Also, they absolutely do not look like mushrooms or any food for that matter. They taste like rotting death and look like dried up flakes and twigs and crumble into dusty dirt looking stuff. I can't see how they could possible be mistaken for a "bowl of snacks".
#24 - On 11/14/2009 at 3:23pm by ameliecious
Besides that you would KNOW you're eating something that surely isnt a snack when eating mushrooms, the effect doesnt last 12 hours no matter what amount you ate.
The owner of the shrooms not being angry that someone ate them all was SO the first thing I thought of. If someone was eating MY shrooms crap would so hit the fan.
PLUS, if they tasted like shit, why the hell would he keep eating them? he obviously doesnt have enough common sense to stop eating food that taste like shit.
#85 - On 11/14/2009 at 7:50pm by Mydeadrose
so.....
Did you prevent the world from collapsing into millions of denomic shards?
#33 - On 11/14/2009 at 3:48pm by supergamer94
seeing as alcohol in your bloodstream counteracts the "tripping" effect of shrooms, it surprising that that's what happened to you while you were drinking. also, PLENTY of people eat shrooms by themselves.
#37 - On 11/14/2009 at 3:59pm by morganm747
The OP said he was having snacks before drinking. Maybe he never got round to drinking anything. I'm sure someone would have noticed him eating the shrooms and been all like: "Dude, quit hogging the stash." or (to draw inspiration from Chong) "Dude, you just ate the most amount of shrooms I've ever seen anybody eat in my entire life. I hope you're not busy for about 12 hours." and the OP would have probably freaked out from it, hence the "demonic shards" trip, instead of happy times.
LOL i tried to reduce my not-soberness for the rest of the night by eating and i accidentally had shrooms. fission mailed...
i don't think it was a bowl of shrooms. they probably ground up the shrooms and put them in something. i've seen people make shroom dip for chips, shroom garnished pasta, shroom garnished burgers, etc.
Stuff like this happens when people are not mentally ready for a trip. This is a FYL since you were not expecting it. I would like to know how you ate a whole bowl of shrooms and had no one yell at you for it.

so sick of fake FML's made up by little kids who think that they can come up with something funny.... so obviously fake and never happened I would bet $$
i'll take that bet.
i have eaten shrooms once by accident and i had a baaaaaad trip.
#81 - On 11/14/2009 at 7:40pm by mandyreid_
Demonic Shards releases their debut album 'Bowl of Snax' with soon-to-be number one hit 'Saving the World.' LOVE IT! =)
Has anyone thought of that he might not have any idea what shrooms look like? There are several different edible mushrooms and they look very different whether they are dried, fried or parboiled. I, for one, could easily do the mistake he did.
Jädra skit, bro! :-D
I'm calling bullshit. If you had an entire bowl of mushrooms and then drank, you would either barf your guts up, or go into toxic shock.
Besides, who leaves an entire bowl of shrooms out as party snacks. I'm calling BS.
#52 - On 11/14/2009 at 5:08pm by LaughAtEric919
They make shrooms into chocolates and stuff guys. You can also easily take a huge dose, sure youll throw up eventually, but youd have plenty of time to polish off way too many first.
this is fake. there is no way that someone would make that mistake--or that ppl would have shrooms in a bowl as a party snack w/out telling anyone
#55 - On 11/14/2009 at 5:12pm by athame1983
I'm glad I don't like mushrooms, because now I won't do something as stupid as eating a bowl of mushrooms, that are really magic mushrooms, and calling them "snacks"
#56 - On 11/14/2009 at 5:12pm by DameGreyWulf
Oh wow and to the person that said "the effect doesn't last twelve hours no matter the amount you take" tell that to my 26 hours of sleepless dreams I had at 16. You sir (or ma'am) are mistaken, like I said, many different kinds of "magic mushrooms", all of them having different effects. As far as time and intensity go.
#57 - On 11/14/2009 at 5:19pm by ninjobliveus13
shrooms all come from horse or cow shit.... it doesn't really matter whether you got it from an appaloosas turd or a paints... i think it's going to give you the same effect.. but a trip does last all night off of just a few good stems.
... Are you talking about fertilizer? Because I'm pretty sure mushrooms grow in the ground.
In which case it doesn't really matter what fertilized them, there are different species of "magic mushrooms" (incompasing all mushrooms that create a high or are hallucinogenic), of mushrooms in general. They're not all the same mushroom.
#66 - On 11/14/2009 at 5:56pm by DameGreyWulf
Psilocybin (and psilocin even more so, for that matter) can withstand temperatures up to around 155-160 degrees fahrenheit, so you can boil them in water for about 10 minutes, or use them in other recipes that don't require very high levels of heat (the most common I've seen is adding them to melted chocolate), although normally a larger amount is needed than if you were to just eat them, but baking brownies is done at about 325-350 degrees for at least half an hour, so the chemicals would be effectively destroyed.
#134 - On 11/16/2009 at 7:59pm by dmc0143
oops, replied to the wrong comment.
But while I'm here, if you go picking "dirty shrooms" from a field, they do grow from cow patties. However, I've grown shrooms/only eat ones shrooms someone I know has grown, and those do not require any animal feces, thank goodness.
#135 - On 11/16/2009 at 8:05pm by dmc0143
Not to be a critic, but doesn't drinking lessen your shroom high? Shrooms work off your brain cells and alcohol kills your brain cells. a couple shots of liquor probably would have helped you I think.
Oh oh and one more thing... SHROOMS DO NOT MAKE YOU HALLUCINATE. fer serious! If you want to hallucinate like you do on shrooms just play guitar hero for about an hour then stare at a white wall.. looks the same.. It's the emotional trip not the mind trip that gets you.
Actually, they do. Friend of mine's brother does shrooms. He has little hallucinations all the time.
Mostly he says everything just looks cartoony though.
#65 - On 11/14/2009 at 5:53pm by DameGreyWulf
too bad there wasnt a bowl of pills you mistook for those little candy lollies. woulda been the best night ya ever had
shrooms dont last twelve hours no matter how much you take. seven or eight at the most. and for all those saying "shrooms look like regular mushrooms" no they dont. they look dried up and like wrinkled leather like some other poster said before. and they always taste like shit. unless they were mixed into something idk how you couldnt know they were shrooms OP. but this reallyyyyyy isnt an fml. i wouldve left and went on an adventure hahaha some of us are killing to get some hallucinagenics
#70 - On 11/14/2009 at 6:11pm by kisseshugsdrugs
for al the people that said YDI for taking drugs, you're stupid, he didn't know what it was and shrooms are awesome.
Hmm, let's see.
An inadvertent psilocybin overdose can often leave you with a terrible "the world is falling apart and I'm doing everything I can to stop it" feeling. Mushrooms more often affect your mood and inner perception rather than strictly make you see things that aren't there, so at least this isn't someone pretending to know what shrooms do to you.
However, no one, and I mean NO ONE would just randomly leave a bowl of shrooms at a party for people to munch on. A "bowl" of shrooms would cost over $100. Even if it was sprinkled in with the Chex mix, that's still not something people do. This isn't the same as spiking the punch, shrooms are expensive and take a while to grow, so they're hard to come by. You could probably get a person to buy a single cap for $5-10 and you're just dumping them in a public bowl at a party? Hell no.
Furthermore, shrooms don't look like snacks or taste good enough for anyone to bother eating, let alone eat enough to accidentally overdose. They look, feel and taste more like something you'd get on your jacket if you rolled around in a field, especially with the "shake," rather than the mushrooms you put on a pizza.
I call shenanigans on this, except I'm guessing a true story was embellished rather than made up entirely. Probably took a bad first encounter with shrooms and changed the beginning to make it FML worthy.
Lol... Well on the other side, some people are cool, and or grow their own.. Maybe a bunch of people threw in money for the shrooms. And also I've tasted imported chocolate that had psilocybin in it that was fucking delicious, and was better then anything I had ever picked fresh --- sooooo..
About putting out a bowl: Friends of mine have done that at several of their parties, you can just go into the mountains in fall and collect them here. Maybe they grow where OP lives as well, or the people having the party were growing their own which isn't that hard or expensive either. So this could very well be a true story.
Apart from this, I fully agree with what you said.
#77 - On 11/14/2009 at 7:14pm by KapiTezuka
I think that's what he meant when he mentioned the part about selling them for lots of money. Meaning, if you grow your own, the smarter and more logical thing to do is to sell them, not leave them in snack bowls for people to munch on. Especially for people to eat by themselves.
#79 - On 11/14/2009 at 7:19pm by DameGreyWulf
I just find it very hard to believe that people throw parties these days in which they put a bowl of $100+ worth of illegal drugs on the table and expect people to treat it like finger food. Again, this isn't spiking the punch or leaving a few bottles of liquor around. Mushrooms are rare and expensive, and this is just not how you treat this kind of material.
I mean, personally, if I figure out what's in that bowl, I'm stuffing some or most of that shit in my jacket pocket. At the very least I'm gonna take as much as I want, like a fat guy eating hors d'oeuvres. If the host doesn't like it, it's his responsibility to tell his guests how to behave around his free drugs, even a quick "go easy on the shroom bowl please" should be enough (and OP's host apparently didn't even feel the need to mention it, eh).
I stand by my assessment that OP had his first shroom trip, it went badly, and he made the beginning of the story more interesting so he could get it on FML. Or maybe this is just how things go down in Sweden.
Geesh, I once smoked one little teensy bowl of my very best friends old dried up hash, and it wasn't even her last bit of it and she didn't talk to me for days. I can't imagine eating a whole bowl of someone's shrooms and not having them harsh on you pretty bad.
#78 - On 11/14/2009 at 7:15pm by youarescrewe
"...trying to prevent the world from collapsing into millions of demonic shards..."
Awesome. Epic writing. Love it.
People at high school parties might not just leave a bowl of shrooms laying out at but when you go to higher scale parties amongst celebrities that stuff is commen. Just saying. These things exist. I know
Why not just eat Doritos? Don't they have those in Sweden?
#89 - On 11/14/2009 at 9:30pm by FerrariCake
What I am wondering is who buys a significant amount of shrooms and then leaves them out for people to have. I know some people are generous with their drugs but to let you just eat a whole bowl of them?
*** upon reading ***
hahahahahahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA . . .
*** 3 minutes after reading ***
. . . AHAHA *drops to floor* [b]HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA . . .[/b]
*** 5 minutes after reading ***
It must have been a life-changing experience. Use it well.
To the people saying "nobody would leave that amount of shrooms out in a bowl" - if they are rich enough, why not? Sure your average middle class person probably wouldn't, but I know some people in the film industry who have been to parties where they have large amounts of cocaine just sitting out for anyone to take. Some people have the money to do that sort of shit.
And yet, if someone were to confuse the cocaine for a bowl of sugar left for people to snack on, just absent mindedly jamming fistful after fistful of cocaine in to their mouths, I'm pretty sure someone would say something relatively soon.
Haha there called 'shrooms'
Idk if I spelled right tho
#110 - On 11/15/2009 at 12:14pm by HunterFalls13
I think it's cute how you called them "magic mushrooms" haha. thats great!
so pleaseee, i need to know. did you save the world? i need to know!
and #111 of course its an fml if this person as never done shrooms, and never wanted to, and wasnt intending on doing them, and don't even know what they are. have you ever tripped in a bad atmosphere? with people you dont know well and a place you've never been? its not fun. especially if dude was unintentionally tripping.
#112 - On 11/15/2009 at 12:45pm by RefinedMotion

Since when did you go to a party and think 'Hey, a bowl of mushrooms, these must be the snacks'? Are you stupid or something? Snacks = Chips & Dip, Crackers, you know Snack food
Karma wins yet again. BTW, you should've had fun with it instead.

Sorry man, the same thing happened to me about a year ago. It was the single worst and most traumatizing experience of my life, I was recently diagnosed with Complex Partial Siezures as a result because I still sometimes have flashbacks. Hopefully you'll recover from it better and sooner than I did. Best of luck!
Hmm, you would have thought that someone at the party would either have told the OP that they were shrooms, or would have told them to stop hogging them all to themselves. Cause generally where is a party where free drugs are available then there is a demand for them, and one guy sitting there stuffing his face would usually prompt the host coming along and telling them off for consuming all the party favours. ;)
Oh and at least it was better than getting blasted on booze, making a fool of yourself, puking and then having to hug the toilet bowl until your head stops throbbing from the hangover the next day.
i agree with this. when i go to parties where theres free drugs, its pretty uncommon for them to be just chillin around and nobody using them. theres a reason the drugs are there, PEOPLE WANT THEM! but the second part..imagine seeing someone tripping, especiallly someone that didnt know what it was like or didnt want to in general. theyre going to look crazy! i love to trip, but it is NOT cool to go to a party especially where you dont know anyone. imagine all the people asking you whats up or any conversation..talk about awkwardddd haha

Sounds a lot like Owsley's famous trip, only his was with LSD. Crazy shit, eh? I've done shrooms & LSD though both in low doeses. Fun times, IF you know whats going on, otherwise it's just scary as shit.
lmao wow that's excellent, especially since you took them on an empty stomach. haha and 12 hrs! i would have love to seen that. and drunk too!
@124: they're really not that bad. everyone says how horrible they are, and they come up with ways to mask the taste, but that's all a load of crap. shrooms do not taste that bad at all.
