One of my friends had steady access to penis envy mushrooms when I was in my freshman year of college. I remember taking them with another friend of mine and had the weirdest goddamn trip of my life. I took about 1.5g, and he took 3g.

We were walking in the woods when we came up, and he fell completely silent for like 3 hours. I tried asking him if he wanted to go back to the dorm several times, but he would just look at me for a minute, then go back to staring at the ground and continue walking.

Eventually, it got dark and I turned on my flashlight (thank God I decided to bring one). As it got darker, his walk got more and more frantic. I thought he was trying to run away from me, like maybe he was mad that I gave him the mushrooms. If we weren't in the woods in the dark, I would have tried giving him a little space, but I didn't want him to wander out too far without a source of light. So I slowed my pace and walked behind him, giving him the same buffer I would give a stranger walking behind me on the sidewalk.

After a while of giving him his space, he stopped dead in his tracks and turned to me. I came up beside him and asked if he was feeling alright, but he was silent still. I decided that if he was mad at me for the mushrooms, I could fix it by dumping the rest on the ground. So I did exactly that, all while he was watching silently. As soon as they were on the ground, he started walking again, but this time much slower. I followed behind.

While walking, I was swinging my arms slightly. Since my friend was a bit in front of me, the light from the flashlight was moving around a lot more for him than it was for me. This must have been messing with him, because he stopped walking, grabbed my arm, and finally broke his silence with a stern, "stop". I was mostly just relieved he said something.

"All good?", I asked. He looked at the ground, then back at me, then back at the ground, then back at me. He looked super confused, so I asked again, "Hey man, are you all good?"

"Yeah, yeah..." he said, looking at the ground. He looked up again and asked, "Hey, man... why did you dump out the mushrooms???"

When I explained my thought process behind everything, he laughed really hard. He had no clue he wasn't communicating with me that whole time. He said he was walking fast so he could get back to the dorm before it got dark. When he stopped, it was because he realized it was already dark and I wasn't next to him anymore and my flashlight was the light source. Then when he saw me dump out the mushrooms, he thought I was laying out bait for an animal. He figured I thought we had walked for so long that we were fully in the wilderness and needed to hunt to survive. He knew we were near(ish) the dorms, so he kept going. When he remembered that I didn't leave the dorms with hunting/camping stuff, he realized they were the mushrooms and stopped to ask me why I dumped them lol.

Weird time.
