Visual effects typically begin subtly during the come-up phase. You might notice colors becoming more saturated, edges appearing sharper, or a slight shimmer to your surroundings. As the experience deepens, surfaces may begin to 'breathe' — gently expanding and contracting in a rhythmic pattern. Textured surfaces like wood grain, carpets, or tree bark often reveal intricate geometric patterns that seem to emerge from within the material itself. At higher doses, these patterns become more pronounced and may overlay your entire field of vision. Closed-eye visuals can be particularly striking: kaleidoscopic imagery, fractal patterns, and dreamlike scenes that shift and morph. Some people see faces, landscapes, or abstract forms. The visuals often feel meaningful, as if they're showing you something important about the nature of reality or consciousness.
The right dose for visuals depends on your experience level and desired intensity. Recommended range: 2g - 4g dried mushrooms (higher doses produce more intense visuals)
0.5g - 1g
Subtle color enhancement and slight visual sharpening
1.5g - 2.5g
Clear visual effects with breathing surfaces and patterns
3g - 4g
Vivid visuals, complex patterns, and immersive closed-eye imagery

View StrainVisual effects can be disorienting, especially at higher doses. Always stay in a safe, familiar environment where you can sit or lie down comfortably. Avoid driving or operating machinery during and for several hours after the experience. If visuals become overwhelming, remember that they are temporary and will fade. Opening your eyes, changing your environment, or focusing on something simple can help ground you. Having a sober sitter present is recommended, especially for higher doses.
