The Wikipedia page ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallucinogenic_bolete_mushroom ) talks about effects lasting for days, even in animal studies. Some of the historical records claimed effects lasting even longer, from months to years, though this sounds like triggered psychosis.
So perhaps not very recreational as might be assumed given the topic.
I wonder if Hamilton Morris has tried it yet. Hamilton, if you're reading let us know when you're going to let us hear about it :)
For anyone vaguely interested in psychoactive/psychedelic drugs, his books and videos are amazing:

Sorry to use a reddit-ism, but "this should be at the top" - for safety.
"Days"?!? Hard pass. My experiments with shrooms in college was fun, but I couldn't deal with the 8-12 hours of hallucinating.
I guess you didn't touch LSD? I think 12 would be considered short :)
I knew personally someone whose trips usually took 48 hours. Unusually long, yes, and really exhausting.
LSD had the same duration with me, but more psychological & emotional impact. So I avoided it for two reasons. Weirdly, all my divorced 50+ year-old male peers are now into K and DMT. They are raving about DMT, but I feel like my brain is too frail-as-is.

Damn. 8-12? For me the peak always lasted 2-3 hours and I was sober again after 7 hours.
yea people in this thread saying 8-12 for psilocybin and 12 is short for LSD tells me these are either heroic doses or hyperbolizing.
