While I am no stranger to hiking, my first journey to Minaret Lake Trail, in the company of Big Daddy mushrooms (BD), was a novel experience. While others grappled with the rugged terrain, I breezed through it, as if it was my natural territory. Given the altitude of the peak, I needed an energy bonus, and Big Daddy was just the ticket.
Key Takeaways:
- BD mushrooms are powerful varieties capable of inducing vivid hallucinations, although the effects can differ when consumed in lower doses.
- The mushrooms amplified visual acuity and nurtured a deeper connection with nature, offering a fresh perspective.
- Even when consumed in minuscule amounts, the effects can begin approximately thirty minutes later, signaled by a subtle warmth pervading the body.
Peaks and Mushrooms: My Hiking Expedition
I’ve climbed a multitude of mountains and navigated numerous trails, like Skyline, Fundy, and Bruce. My most recent endeavor was the Minaret Lake Trail. This trail beckoned me to take up its challenge, and it proved to be one of the most taxing trails I’ve ever completed.
The mountain was majestic. Despite the tough trail, the panorama from the peak was unparalleled, with alpine lakes visible in the distance. The surrounding landscape, adorned with glistening snowcapped mountains, was equally captivating.
The experience was exceptional, especially due to the singular connection I established with nature, courtesy of the mushrooms I ingested.
The Strenuous Trek
The hike was a collective effort, not a lone venture. We agreed to climb together for the safety of all. Judging by their athletic physiques and previous experience, it appeared as if they would tackle the trail with ease.
This assumption proved to be inaccurate. My fellow hikers were exhausted only an hour into the hike. While they eventually reached the peak, their experience was eclipsed by mine, which was enhanced by psilocybin.
The energy surge from the Big Daddy mushrooms turned me into an indomitable force – persistent, resilient, and ready to relish the untamed wilderness that nature had in store as the ultimate prize. I should clarify that
It energized my physical movements and strengthened my body for the ongoing ascent.
Rather, I found it to be so calming that I barely experienced any exhaustion. The cold breeze of the Sierra Nevada mountains didn’t bother me at all. My heightened auditory senses made me feel like I was able to communicate with the birds chirping around me.
Indeed, I was so absorbed in reuniting with nature that the notion of “exhaustion” completely disappeared from my understanding.
The Challenges
Unquestionably, experiencing a mushroom trip while trekking has its drawbacks, particularly given the harsh landscape. While some aspects went off without a hitch, others didn’t go as planned. Minor missteps occurred, such as becoming so disoriented that I unintentionally veered onto a different trail.
Preparation: My Approach for the Experience
When planning a hike, a detailed schedule isn’t necessary, but following basic hiking rules is essential. If you’re thinking about consuming Big Daddy magic mushrooms, extra caution is required. Start by familiarising yourself with the potential side effects that may occur during the trip.
Understanding Big Daddy
An essential thing to note about BD is that its name is derived from its notable physical characteristics. They have a large, robust stem and a cap that hasn’t fully opened, resembling a father-like figure.
They display deep, natural shades of brown, tan, and gold, making them easily recognizable.
Potency
If you were to seek advice from a psychonaut or mushroom aficionado for a strong strain, BD would be their recommendation. Its name reflects its potency, offering a transcendent experience. These mushrooms are incredibly potent and can provide a deep psychedelic journey. Their effects can include:
- Enhanced visual and auditory perception
- Deep introspection
- Altered consciousness
- Intense euphoria or body high
While they are perfect for experienced users, beginners can also enjoy them in smaller quantities. Of course, this can vary based on individual tolerance, consumption method, and metabolic rate.
Suggested Dosage
All kinds of magic mushrooms can be appropriate for anyone, regardless of their level of experience. The key is adjusting the dosage correctly, whether you’re a novice or an expert.
| Experience Level | Dosage Spectrum | Possible Effects |
| Novice | Micro to Low Dose: 0.05 (50mg) to 0.75g (750mg) | Elevated MoodBoosted Mental EnergyVisual AugmentationAltered Sound Perception |
| Expert | Medium to High Dose: 2 to 5g (2000-5000mg) | Kaleidoscopic VisualsMinor HallucinationsDistorted Perception of TimeSelf-Identity Dissolution |
Assessing the Hiking Terrain
When preparing for a hike, it’s crucial to investigate trails that you are confident you can navigate, particularly if you intend to ingest shrooms. My successful expedition wasn’t solely due to the stunning landscape, but also strategic planning surrounding the use of psilocybin.
The meandering trail enabled me to assess my visual enhancements; despite some confusion, the route seemed straightforward and direct, regardless of its winding nature. Furthermore, since shrooms can amplify a feeling of oneness with nature, Sierra Nevada seemed an ideal starting point for me.
Proper Dosing
If you’re a beginner, begin with a lower dosage. Fifty milligrams was the perfect starting point for me. If you’re a seasoned user, a medium to high dosage is appropriate. 2g might be sufficient, but for those who wish to explore further, 5g is recommended.
What to Bring Along?
The first step in any journey is to pack the essentials, such as:
- An emergency medical kit
- Emergency whistles or signaling tools
- A phone (though, it’s likely there will be no reception in mountainous regions)
- A headlamp or torch
- Light refreshments and water
The Ascent: My Adventure with Big Daddy Shrooms
“I’m always going to face another mountain, and I’ll always want to make it move…”
I’m not trying to be overly dramatic. This is just the impact the mushrooms had on me. It was as if the barriers disappeared, inspiring me to overcome various challenges. Perhaps it was the mushrooms’ introspective power that led to this change in viewpoint.
Effects Timeline
- Introduction: Roughly thirty minutes after taking a small dose, I began to feel the effects. It produced a gentle warmth throughout my body. My surroundings appeared more vibrant as the psilocybin heightened my visual perception. I became extremely conscious of the smallest details, such as the textures and the patterns formed by the falling rocks and debris. A calm atmosphere surrounded me.
- Climax: Approximately ninety minutes in, the peak of the effects began to overwhelm me. I was filled with enthusiasm. The birds’ songs seemed as if they were communicating with me, and surprisingly, I found myself imitating them. The environment felt extraordinarily inviting.
- Conclusion: The come-down was peaceful, instilling a sense of reassurance and mental calmness. The four-hour journey gradually wound down as we neared the mountain peak. The intensity of my senses gently faded away, reminiscent of the 70s’ songs that end with the gradual diminishing of music and vocals. The effects were still noticeable after use, helping me stay focused.
Lessons Learned
The expedition was mainly uplifting. Detailed planning and setting suitable goals helped me achieve this feat. I took the Big Daddy mushroom in a peaceful, safe environment, surrounded by nature, to fully engage in the experience without any interruptions.
I made sure to be in a positive mental state before the experience. This strengthened my mental resilience for the trail.
The two challenges were timing and disorientation. The sudden onset caught me off guard, and navigating through the uneven terrain became confusing at the peak. In retrospect, it might have been wiser to wait for the effects to level off before starting the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I incorporate it into my meals for subtler consumption?
Absolutely. You can brew it into a lemon tek or grind the dried items to blend them into your homemade meals or snacks. You can also add them to your drinks for easier ingestion.
Should I begin my hike during the peak effects or wait until they decrease?
The ideal timing for your psychedelic journey depends on the dosage and your experience level. For higher doses, it’s better to experience the trip prior to hiking for safety purposes. After the peak effects have subsided, you can embark on the hike to enjoy the peaceful aftermath. If you intend to hike while under the influence, stick to small or moderate doses.
Do I need hiking experience to use shrooms?
If you’re new to both psychedelics and hiking, it’s advisable to try them separately at first. Start with a low to moderate dose of mushrooms and go for a short walk in a calm, familiar setting to get used to the altered state of consciousness and the physical activity of walking.
