It’s not the first time I hiked a mountain, but it is my first time going to Minaret Lake Trail with Big Daddy mushroom (BD). Let me tell you, as we ascended the ridgy trail, some were already breaking bones while I just chilled and kept going like an animal. Going to such a high peak, I needed a boost, so Big Daddy was my best pick.

Key Takeaways:
- BD shrooms are highly potent strains that can induce intense hallucinations. If taken in small doses, effects may differ.
- The effects enhanced vision and increased connection to nature, which allowed for a fresh perspective.
- Even in small doses, onset may begin thirty minutes later with a subtle warmth spreading through the body.
Peaking Mountain and Mushrooms: My Hike Journey
I’ve hiked many mountains and crossed through countless trails, like Skyline, Fundy, and Bruce. My most recent one was the Minaret Lake Trail. I know I had to do this because it was challenging for me. I, for one, can tell that it is indeed one of the most challenging trails I’ve endured in my life.
The mountain was stunning. Although the path is jagged, it’s truly remarkable at its peak. You can see the alpine lakes atop. The scenery was breathtaking as well, with snowcaps glistening on the mountaintops.
It was a remarkable expereince—not to mention the natural reconnection I had, precisely because of the shrooms I took.
The High-Enduring
During the hike, I wasn’t alone. It was a group trek. We’ve all agreed to climb collectively to ensure everybody’s safety. If I can describe it, they were more physically fit than I am. Judging by their physique and experiences, they can finish the path without struggling.
It turns out it was just a belief. My companions were out just an hour in the trek. Although they managed to reach the peak, it can’t compare to how I reached the high—with the help of psilocybin.
The high that Big Daddy mushrooms almost made me feel like an animal, non-stopping, no breaking, and thirsty for wildlife waiting for me as nature’s grand prize. I’m not saying that it stimulated my physical movements nor strengthened my body to keep on ascending.
It was just so relaxing that I didn’t feel any exhaustion. It feels like the Sierra Nevada mountain range’s cold breeze didn’t flinch me. My heightened auditory perception made me almost talk like the birds chirping.
In short, I was so distracted by the nature reconnection that “tiredness” wasn’t included in my dictionary.
The Hurdles
Of course, tripping with mushrooms while hiking has some setbacks, considering the ridgy trail. Some things went right, and some things didn’t go as planned. These are just minor inconveniences, such as being so disoriented that I didn’t know I was already heading to the alternate route.
Preparation: How I Planned the Experience
There are no major itineraries when planning a hike, but despite this, you have to be strict on the ground rules as a hiker. If you’re planning to take Big Daddy magic mushrooms, you need to be extra careful. Start by determining the effects that may affect you during the trip.
Understanding Big Daddy
One thing you have to know about BD is that it got its name because of its appealing physical characteristics. They embody a big daddy-like figure with a thick shaft and not fully expanded head or caps.
They have rich, earthy tones of brown and tan to golden for easy spotting.
Potency
If you’d ask a psychonaut or a shroom-tender to suggest a heavy-kicking strain, they’d say BD. Its name speaks for its potency—an experience larger than life. They are robust and can deliver an intense psychedelic experience. They can induce:
- Heightened visual and auditory perception
- Deep introspection
- Altered sense of consciousness
- Strong body buzz or euphoria
They are ideal for seasoned users but can also cater to beginners in small doses. This is, of course, based on individual tolerance, consumption method, and metabolism.
Dosage
Every strain of magic mushrooms can cater to everyone, regardless of user background—skilled or newbie. It’s just a matter of dosing.
| User Type | Dosage Ratio | Potential Effects |
| Beginner | Micro to Low Dose: 0.05 (50mg) to 0.75g (750mg) | Enhanced MoodIncreased Mental StaminaVisual EnhancementAltered Sound Perception |
| Experienced | Moderate to High Dose: 2 to 5g (2000-5000mg) | Kaleidoscopic VisualsMild HallucinationsDistorted Sense of TimeEgo Dissolution |
Hiking Environment in Mind
When hiking, you must research trails you think you can finish, especially if you’re taking shrooms. I reached my destination not solely because of the scenery and wonderful nature attractions, but it was also strategic to try it with psilocybin.
The jagged route allowed me to test my visual enhancements; although a little bit disoriented, the path seemed to be so clear and straight despite it being snake-like. Also, since you can experience an interconnectedness sensation with nature, I thought Sierra Nevada was the best place to begin with.
Dosing Properly
If you’re a beginner, opt for a smaller ratio. Fifty milligrams was a good starting point for me. If you have a history of psilocybin use, you can go for a moderate to high ratio. 2g would do, but for those who dare to challenge its effects, 5g is the choice.
What to Pack You Say?
On every trip, packing essential items is your first move. This can include:
- First-aid kit for emergencies
- Emergency whistles or signifiers
- Phone (but most likely, there will be no reception in mountainous areas)
- Headlamp or flashlight
- Light snacks and water
It’s The Climb: My Hiking Expereince with Big Daddy Shrooms
I’d reflect on my overall experience with Miley Cyrus’ famous song
“There’s always gonna be another mountain, I’m always gonna wanna make it move…”
I’m not trying to be emotional. It’s just how the mushrooms worked for me—it felt like the movements weren’t an issue, and it motivated me to hike many mountains. Perhaps it’s the shroom’s introspective effect that made my perspective change.
The Timeline of Impacts
- Prologue: Thirty minutes after taking the small dose, I felt it slowly kicking in. It gave me a subtle warmth surging my whole body. The view felt so vibrant as psilocybin pierced through my eyes. I become more attuned to the most minor details—textures or the ridges, the way rocks and small debris just descended. The calm atmosphere surrounded me.
- Peak: About one hour and 30 minutes have passed, and the peak effects started to hit me. I feel so motivated at that moment. I heard the birds as if they wanted to communicate with me, but I didn’t realize I was also chirping. The nature felt so embracing.
- Epilogue: The coming down felt so calm, reassuring, and mind-relieving. The four-hour trip subsided as we neared the mountain peak. The intensity of my senses went down most harmoniously. It’s like the songs in the 70s, where each track ends with fading music and vocals. I can still feel the effects lingering post-use. It helped me to be more focused.
Lesson Learned
The experience was overwhelmingly positive. Careful preparation and setting the right intentions helped me achieve this feat. I took the Big Daddy mushroom in a calm, safe space, surrounded by nature, to fully embrace the experience without distractions.
I was also in a good mental state beforehand. It helped me boost my mental stamina in enduring the trail.
Two challenges were timing and disorientation. The onset caught me off guard, and navigating jagged terrain became disorienting at the peak. As I have reflected, waiting until the effects plateaued before venturing out might have been better.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I infuse it in my food for more discreet consumption?
Yes. You can brew it into a lemon tek or powderize the dried products and incorporate it in your homemade snacks or food. You can also add them to your drink so it’s easier for you to take it.
Do I have to wait till the effects subside or hike while at its peak?
The ideal timing for your psychedelic trip will depend on the dosage and your experience level. For higher doses, trip before the hike to ensure safety. Once the peak effects have subsided, you can hike to enjoy the peaceful afterglow. If you hike under the influence, stick to low to moderate doses.
Do I have to be an experienced hiker to take shrooms?
If you’re new to both psychedelics and hiking, it’s best to experience them separately first. Start with a low to moderate dose of mushrooms and take a short walk in a quiet, familiar place to acclimate to the altered state of consciousness and the physical act of walking.
