While I’m no stranger to mountain hikes, my initial foray to Minaret Lake Trail was an exceptional one, enhanced by the company of Big Daddy mushrooms (BD). I found myself unfazed by the challenging terrain that others struggled with, marching on like an animal in its natural surroundings. Given the towering peak, I required an extra energy boost, and Big Daddy became my go-to choice.
Key Takeaways:
- BD mushrooms are powerful variants that can induce intense hallucinations. However, the impacts can fluctuate when consumed in smaller quantities.
- The mushrooms amplified visual perception and fostered a deeper connection with nature, offering a renewed perspective.
- Even when consumed in smaller amounts, the effects can begin about thirty minutes later, signified by a gentle warmth enveloping the body.
Mountains and Mushrooms: My Hiking Journey
I’ve conquered many mountains and navigated numerous trails, such as Skyline, Fundy, and Bruce. My most recent endeavor was the Minaret Lake Trail. I felt a strong urge to take on this challenge, and it proved to be one of the most demanding trails I’ve ever faced.
The mountain was truly majestic. Despite the challenging route, the vista from the summit was absolutely stunning, featuring alpine lakes far off in the distance. The surrounding landscape, adorned with gleaming snowcaps on the mountaintops, was equally awe-inspiring.
The experience was phenomenal, primarily due to the special connection I established with nature, fostered by the mushrooms I ingested.
The High-Stamina Hike
The hike was not a solo endeavor; it was a collective journey. We all agreed to climb together for the sake of everyone’s safety. Judging by their athletic physiques and past adventures, it seemed they could tackle the trail with ease.
However, this turned out to be a false assumption. My companions were out of breath just an hour into the hike. Even though they reached the summit, their experience was less fulfilling compared to mine, which was enhanced by psilocybin.
The energy surge from the Big Daddy mushrooms transformed me into a force to be reckoned with, tireless, unwavering, and ready to soak up the wilderness that awaited me as the ultimate gift from nature. I’m not suggesting that
Instead of energizing my physical actions or strengthening my body for the ongoing ascent, it had a different effect.
The comfort it provided was so great that I barely noticed any weariness. The cold breeze of the Sierra Nevada mountains did not affect me. My heightened sense of hearing made it seem as if I was having a conversation with the bird songs that filled the air.
Ultimately, I was so captivated by my reconnection with the environment that the notion of “exhaustion” was completely removed from my thoughts.
Facing Hurdles
Admittedly, experiencing a mushroom trip during a hike presents its own challenges due to the rough landscape. Some parts went as planned, while some didn’t turn out as expected. There were minor setbacks such as getting so disoriented that I unintentionally deviated from my intended path.
Arrangements: My Approach for the Experience
While planning a hike doesn’t necessitate a detailed plan, sticking to basic hiking principles is essential. Should you decide to take Big Daddy magic mushrooms, additional caution is advised. Start by gaining knowledge about the possible side effects you may encounter during the trip.
Understanding Big Daddy
A notable characteristic of BD is that its name is derived from its striking physical features. They are shaped like a large father-figure with a strong stem and a cap that hasn’t quite opened fully.
They exhibit deep, earthy shades of brown, tan, and gold which makes them easy to spot.
Potency
If you inquire with a psychonaut or a mushroom connoisseur about a strong strain, BD would likely be their choice. Its name is a reflection of its strength—it promises a superior experience. They are potent and can provide a deep psychedelic journey. The effects can include:
- Heightened visual and auditory senses
- Deep self-reflection
- Altered state of consciousness
- Intense euphoric sensation or body high
While they are best suited for seasoned users, beginners can also enjoy them in smaller quantities. However, the effects can differ based on individual tolerance, consumption method, and metabolic rate.
Suggested Dosage
Regardless of whether you’re a novice or an expert, every variety of magic mushrooms can be suitable. The key is in determining the correct dosage.
| Experience Level | Dosage Spectrum | Possible Effects |
| Novice | Micro to Low Dose: 0.05 (50mg) to 0.75g (750mg) | Enhanced MoodIncreased Mental VigorVisual AmplificationAltered Sound Perception |
| Seasoned | Moderate to High Dose: 2 to 5g (2000-5000mg) | Kaleidoscopic ImageryMild HallucinationsTime Perception DistortionEgo Dissolution |
Taking the Hiking Environment into Account
While preparing for a hike, it’s vital to research trails that you’re confident you can navigate, especially if you’re planning to ingest shrooms. My successful adventure was a result not only of the stunning landscape, but also of careful planning around the use of psilocybin.
Despite some disorientation, the winding trail helped me gauge my visual enhancements—the path seemed straightforward and unambiguous, despite its coiling character. Also, because shrooms can foster a sense of oneness with nature, I chose Sierra Nevada as the ideal starting point.
Proper Dosing
If you’re a newcomer, begin with a lower dosage. I found starting with fifty milligrams to be suitable. For those with more experience, a moderate to high dosage is recommended. 2g might be enough, but if you’re looking to push the limits, then 5g is the way forward.
What to Bring?
Before embarking on any trip, it’s crucial to pack necessities, such as:
- An emergency first-aid kit
- Emergency whistles or other signal devices
- A mobile phone (though, signal coverage is often limited in mountainous regions)
- A headlamp or flashlight
- Lightweight snacks and water
My Ascend: A First-Hand Account of Hiking with Big Daddy Shrooms
“There will always be another mountain, I’m always going to want to make it move…”
It’s not my intention to sound overly sentimental. This is merely the influence the mushrooms had on me. It felt as if obstacles disappeared, instilling in me the desire to overcome all kinds of terrain. Perhaps, it was the introspective power of the mushrooms that brought about this change in my perception.
Order of Effects
- Prologue: Approximately 30 minutes after consuming a small dose, I began to notice its gradual effect. A soft warmth spread through my body. As the psilocybin began to affect my visual senses, the world around me became more vibrant. I started noticing even the smallest details, like the textures and the patterns of falling rocks and tiny debris. A peaceful atmosphere wrapped around me.
- Peak: Around an hour and a half in, I began to experience the peak of the effects. I was filled with motivation. The birds’ songs seemed as if they were trying to communicate with me, and unknowingly, I found myself imitating their calls. The environment felt extraordinarily inviting.
- Epilogue: The aftermath was peaceful, instilling a sense of reassurance and mental calm. The four-hour journey slowly began to fade as we neared the mountain peak. My heightened senses steadily decreased. It felt like a 70s song, where the music and vocals slowly fade out at the end. Even after the experience, the effects remained noticeable, helping me stay focused.
Lessons Learned
The journey was primarily uplifting. Careful planning and setting the right goals helped me achieve this feat. I took the Big Daddy mushroom in a calm, safe environment, surrounded by nature, to fully engage in the experience without any distractions.
I made sure to be in a positive mindset before the experience. This boosted my mental stamina for the trail.
The two challenges were timing and disorientation. The sudden onset of the effects caught me off guard, and navigating through the uneven terrains became disorienting at the peak. In hindsight, it might have been prudent to wait for the effects to level out before starting the journey.

Frequently Posed Questions
Can I incorporate it into my meals for a subtler intake?
Yes. You can choose to brew it into a lemon tek or pulverize the dried pieces and blend them into your home-cooked meals or snacks. You may also add them to your drinks for an easier consumption method.
Should I embark on the hike during the peak effects or wait until they subside?
The best time for your psychedelic journey depends on the dosage and your comfort level with the experience. For higher doses, it’s recommended to experience the trip before hiking for safety reasons. Once the peak effects have ebbed, you can then enjoy your hike in the peaceful aftermath. If you plan to hike while influenced, stick to low or moderate doses.
Is prior hiking experience necessary for shroom intake?
If you are new to both psychedelics and hiking, we advise trying them independently first. Start with a minor to moderate dose of mushrooms and take a short walk in a quiet, familiar setting to get accustomed to the altered consciousness and the act of walking.
