Though I’ve embarked on many mountain hikes, my first-ever journey to Minaret Lake Trail was a unique one, accompanied by Big Daddy mushrooms (BD). It’s worth noting that while others found the rugged trail challenging, I marched on, unfazed, akin to a creature in its natural surroundings. The altitude of the peak necessitated an energy boost, and Big Daddy was my go-to.
Key Takeaways:
- BD mushrooms are powerful strains known to induce intense hallucinations. However, their effects can differ when consumed in smaller quantities.
- The mushrooms heightened visual sensitivity and fostered a deeper connection with nature, offering a renewed perspective.
- Even in small doses, the onset may begin roughly thirty minutes later, characterized by a soothing warmth spreading throughout the body.
Mountains and Mushrooms: A Hiking Chronicle
I’ve conquered numerous mountains and navigated multiple trails, including 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 the most strenuous trail I’ve ever encountered.
The mountain was truly majestic. Despite the grueling path, the view from the summit was absolutely stunning, with alpine lakes dotting the horizon. The surrounding landscape, adorned with glistening snow caps on the mountaintops, was equally mesmerizing.
The experience was remarkable, especially due to the special connection I developed with nature, courtesy of the mushrooms I had ingested.
The Arduous Trek
The hike wasn’t a solitary pursuit; it was a group expedition. We had a collective agreement to ascend together for the safety of all. Judging by their athletic physiques and prior experiences, it seemed they would easily conquer the trail.
However, that was a misguided assumption. My fellow hikers were out of breath merely an hour into the hike. Although they did reach the summit, their experience was underwhelming compared to mine, which was amplified due to psilocybin.
The energy surge from the Big Daddy mushrooms converted me into an indomitable entity, steadfast, unflinching, and ready to embrace the wilderness awaiting me as nature’s grandest prize. I’m not suggesting that
Rather than tiring me out, it energized my physical movements and strengthened me for the ongoing hike.
Far from being draining, I found the experience so calming that I barely registered any tiredness. The cold wind of the Sierra Nevada mountains did not disturb me. My enhanced sense of hearing made me feel like I was having a conversation with the birds singing in the trees.
Truly, I was so consumed by my reconnection with the natural world that the idea of “fatigue” just disappeared from my mind.
Facing Obstacles
Without question, having a mushroom trip while hiking can present challenges, especially considering the uneven terrain. Some parts of the journey went smoothly, while others did not go as planned. For instance, there were small missteps like becoming so disoriented that I unintentionally veered off my intended path.
Getting Ready: My Approach to the Experience
While planning a hike doesn’t need a detailed itinerary, following basic hiking precautions is essential. If you’re thinking about consuming Big Daddy magic mushrooms, additional caution is required. Start by familiarizing yourself with the possible side effects during the trip.
Understanding Big Daddy
A significant detail about Big Daddy (BD) is that its name is derived from its striking physical characteristics. They mimic a big daddy-like figure with a thick stem and a cap that isn’t fully opened.
Their rich, earthy shades of brown, tan, and gold make them easily distinguishable.
Potency
If you ask an experienced psychonaut or a mushroom connoisseur for a suggestion of a powerful strain, BD would likely be their choice. Its name is a testament to its strength, promising a transcendent experience. They are potent and can facilitate an intense psychedelic journey. The effects can be:
- Heightened visual and auditory perception
- Deep introspection
- Altered state of consciousness
- Strong physical high or feelings of euphoria
While they are perfect for seasoned users, beginners can also partake in smaller quantities. Of course, this will depend on individual tolerance, the method of ingestion, and metabolic speed.
Suggested Dosage
All varieties of magic mushrooms can be appropriate for anyone, no matter their level of familiarity—be it a novice or a pro. The key lies in determining the accurate dosage.

| Experienced | Moderate to High Dose: 2 to 5g (2000-5000mg) | Kaleidoscopic VisualsLight HallucinationsAltered Time PerceptionSense of Self Dissolution |
Assessing the Hiking Landscape
When preparing for a hike, it’s crucial to study trails that match your capability, particularly if you intend to consume shrooms. My successful expedition wasn’t only due to the stunning landscapes and wilderness, but also calculated planning concerning the use of psilocybin.
The meandering trail gave me an opportunity to assess my visual augmentations; despite minor disorientation, the route seemed straightforward and direct in its winding layout. Plus, as shrooms can intensify a connection with nature, I felt Sierra Nevada was the ideal starting point.
Proper Dosing
If you’re a beginner, kick off with a smaller dosage. For me, fifty milligrams was an appropriate starting point. If you’re a seasoned user, a moderate to high dosage is recommended. 2g could be sufficient, but if you wish to explore further, 5g is suggested.
What to Bring Along?
Before any journey, the initial step is to pack necessary items, such as:
- An emergency medical kit
- Emergency signals or whistles
- A mobile phone (although, it’s likely there won’t be any signal in mountainous regions)
- A headlamp or flashlight
- Light refreshments and water
The Ascent: My Hiking Adventure with Big Daddy Shrooms
“Always going to be another mountain, always going to want to make it move…”
I’m not intending to sound excessively sentimental. This is just the impact the mushrooms had on me. It was as if the obstacles were non-existent, sparking in me the determination to overcome diverse terrains. Perhaps, it was the mushrooms’ introspective influence that prompted this change in perspective.
Order of Effects
- Introduction: About thirty minutes after ingesting the small dose, I began to feel the subtle onset. It generated a comforting warmth throughout my body. My surroundings became more vibrant as the psilocybin heightened my visual perception. I became highly conscious of the smallest details, the textures, the falling pattern of rocks and minute debris. A peaceful atmosphere surrounded me.
- Climax: Approximately at the one and a half hour mark, the zenith of the effects started to surround me. I was overflowing with drive. The chirping of the birds seemed as if they were attempting to communicate with me, unknowingly, I found myself echoing their sounds. The surrounding environment felt incredibly inviting.
- Conclusion: The comedown was peaceful, instilling a sense of comfort and mental relaxation. The four-hour journey slowly faded as we neared the mountain peak. The sharpness of my senses gently decreased. It was similar to the songs of the 70s, where each melody ends with the gradual fading of music and vocals. The effects were still noticeable after usage, assisting me in maintaining concentration.
Learnings Acquired
The expedition was primarily uplifting. Careful planning and setting suitable goals allowed me to achieve this feat. In a calm, secure environment, amidst nature, I consumed the Big Daddy mushroom, to fully immerse myself in the experience without any disturbances.
Before the experience, I made sure to maintain a positive mental state. It fortified 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 terrains became disorienting at the climax. In retrospect, it may have been wise to wait for the effects to stabilize before starting the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I incorporate it into my food for less obvious consumption?
Indeed. You can brew it into a lemon tek or pulverize the dried pieces and blend them into your homemade meals or treats. You can also stir them into your drinks for effortless consumption.
Should I wait for the effects to wear off before hiking, or should I start during the peak?
The ideal time for your psychedelic adventure depends on the dose and your familiarity with it. For higher doses, it’s safe to experience the trip before hiking. Once the peak effects have diminished, you can then embark on your hike to revel in the peaceful aftermath. If you intend to hike while under the influence, stick with low or moderate doses.
Is prior hiking experience necessary to consume shrooms?
If you’re new to both psychedelics and hiking, we recommend trying them independently first. Start with a low to moderate dose of mushrooms and take a short walk in a calm, familiar setting to get accustomed to the altered state of consciousness and the physical act of walking.
