Stavi,
Thank you so much for your feedback! My own clusters have been under control for a good few years now, so I only visit the board in the hope that I can help other people. I'm no saint - I'm sure anyone with CH tha had found an effective treament would do the same, that's why I force myself to write the same damn posts over and over and over... Heh heh.
From the description you gave, it sounds like you got the right shrooms. The giggle fit is normal! Hope you enjoyed it, I think it helps lighten you up after all that pain.
Do yourself a favour now and go and collect more of those shrooms - be very careful and make sure you get exactly the right type, a spore print is essential for identification. Keep copies of the prints for next time too.
By a few jars of honey and tip the honey out into another container. Put the mushrooms into the honey jars and fill them back up with honey - try and fit enough for 2 doses in each jar. Keep enough stashed away for 2 years - that's the longest it will keep. Make sure you fill the jars all the way to the top with honey, and smear some honey round the rim before you replace the lid. Over time the magic will seep into the honey too - the longer you keep the shrooms, the more you will need to get the same dose. After two years you will need a whole jar! Take this into account. It's best to pick fresh shrooms each year when they are in season, and throw the old ones out (after you have tested the new ones of course!!!). If your using an old jar then add the honey to the tea as well - this makes it horribley sweet, but like I said the magic slowly seeps out of the shrooms and into the honey. It's also important to keep the jars in a cool and dark place. Don't freeze them, that would mush the contents.
Hope this is of help - please keep in touch.
