I ordered some mushrooms the other day when I realized that my pet term for them, "boomers" has a different connotation these days. The woman I get them from is younger than me and will wonder why I keep trying to talk about my parents.

A quick google search brought up several terms I refuse to say out loud:

Shroomies
Alice
Buttons
Caps
Hongos
Magic
Mushies
Pizza Toppings
Shrooms
Tweezes

I think we can do a lot better. Help me carve out a piece of this culture for ourselves.

I was being hyperbolic, there is nothing wrong with these if that works for you. But! I am in the market for a new term that doesn't have more than one definition. And is hip! I have an image to upkeep.

Instead of "boomers" we could also call them "sixty year olds".

In parts of Mexico they call them Teonanacatl which translates to "Flesh of the Gods". Which is excellent, but I think that is specific to a certain strain.

Back in 2008 we all called Mushrooms “boomers” in college, I think it might be NE US wook slang, but we stopped using that word once our parents becAme racist authoritarian idiots and we needed the word for them instead.

Relatedly, our group always called Trip Sitters "reality detectives".

I have female friends that would think this is gross, but please know that this is now my headcanon word for them.

Thank you all for the suggestions.

you can call them the thing that makes things from tv shows keep going past where the screen ends (most people only get to see half the picture)

while doing shrooms at one point early on everything acquired a lovely soft red tint

later that evening i was staring for quite a long time at a paused youtube vid of a twitch streamer waiting for him to acknowledge my thoughts that i had figured it out and that the 2 of us and actually all living beings are celestial gods and that corporeal forms are basically a joke we play on ourselves

You don't need slang you loving idiot. Can you not speak to another person like an adult?

This sounds good on paper, but try saying “I would like to purchase 28.35 grams of dried Psilocybe Cubensis mushrooms, my good man!” and see how natural that sounds coming out of your mouth.

So you don't know who to talk to someone like an adult either. wtf is wrong with you people. No wonder you need advices on this.

My friend in BC calls them Scooby snacks but it's probably the preparation (ground up Into dust and in capsules with a bit of gingseng for the nausea)
