This is my first post, full disclosure that while I own the copyright to this work; it is commissioned by a ghostwriter. Depending on how it's received I might commission further such stories.
This commission is greatly inspired and set in the same "universe" as one of my favorite stories "
The Strangest Glow
" by WitchesCYOA. I've contacted the author for permission but unfortunately have not received a response from them in a reasonable timeframe. A favorited and highly recommended read from me if you like this sort of thing. Full credit to the original writers for an amazing idea and great delivery.
This story is written with the premise that the same friend from TSG is handing out some more experimental shrooms to another group of friends.
Feedback welcome!

Josh slammed the door behind him with the heel of his foot. "Yo, Josh that you?" he heard someone shout from the other room. Good, Charlie was already here, meaning Andy was too. "Yeah, It's me." he shouted back as he placed a box on the kitchen table in front of him.
The box itself was small and square, divided into four parts.
"We thought you weren't coming back." a blonde man said as he entered the room, tall with short-styled blonde hair, Josh's friend Charlie had been with him for as long as he could remember. Josh snorted as he tied his own dark hair into a tail at the back of his head. "Yeah sorry, I got held up at the labs." he said as he nodded to the box.
Charlie picked it up, shaking the box around. "Doesn't look like much." he said as he peeled back the lid to look inside. Josh darted forward grabbing it away from him. "Not so fast man, my friend said that even the spores can make you a bit crazy." he said as Charlie rolled his eyes. "We've done mushrooms before, these can't be any different dude."
"Oh but they are." A third voice said as a vivacious redhead stepped out into the kitchen. She was wearing little but yoga pants and a large jumper with little animals on it. Josh smiled at his girlfriend, Jennifer, the excitement already boiling in his stomach at the thought of what was to come. "They're special and probably very illegal. You know how difficult it was to get these?" she asked as she winked at Josh.
Josh and Jennifer, J&J. That's what people called the two of them. They were perfect for each other. Ever since they'd started dating at the start of their first year in college they'd been inseparable. Which, at times like these, was a good thing. Jenn's friend from the mycology lab knew she liked dabbling in hallucinogens and asked her if she would test some new specimens for him. She'd been skeptical at first, but after hearing their effects it hadn't taken much convincing to get her on board.
The blonde looked between the two and let out a suffering sigh. "I know those looks, the two of you have got something planned and we're just here to enjoy the ride." he said as Jennifer walked forward lightly swatting at Charlie's shoulder as she passed on her way to the fridge. "Have we ever led you astray?" she asked her voice light and teasing as she got out a bottle of water.
Charlie snorted, opening his mouth to reply before someone else cut in. "There was that one time at the concert." Andy cut in as she encircled Charlie from behind. The brunette was short and petite, looking almost doll-like next to her much taller blonde boyfriend. Josh grinned at the memory. "True, but neither of you complained. Especially not after you ended up in that tent. Alone" he said, picking up the box and walking through the kitchen towards the den. Andy blushed as Jennifer laughed following her boyfriend out.
The four of them gathered around in the den of Josh's apartment. Pillows, blankets, water, snacks - the four of them had clearly done this before. Once they'd all settled down the petite brunette picked up the small box. "I mean shrooms are illegal at the best of times, what makes these ones so special." Andy said, brushing a stray lock of chestnut-colored hair behind her ear.
Jennifer gingerly opened the lid as a small puff of white spores flitted into the air between them. "So according to that friend of mine, these are new to their field." she said letting them see the four different compartments within. She pointed to the upper left corner, showing a black almost paper smooth lichen. "This one changes you somehow. He said two friends of his used it and she swore she turned into some famous actress or something." she said as Charlie gave her a skeptical look. "Sounds bullshit."
The redhead shrugged. "I dunno, that's what he told me. He said it's hard to explain." She moved her finger downwards towards the upper right. Inside they could see several pieces of what looked like blood-red dried mushrooms. Hovering her hand over the box, Andy's eyes widened. "It's hot, like actual heat." she said as one by one they each held their hands out.
"Weird shit." Josh said as he picked a piece up, holding it in his hand. "Apparently, these make you horny right?" he asked Jennifer as she nodded. "Yep, makes you want to bang until you pass out." she grinned as Andy wiggled next to Charlie, the blonde, despite his misgivings couldn't help but grin.
"And the other two?" he asked as Josh pointed to the small clustered whitish ones. "These apparently make you more...susceptible to following commands, I think. He said it's like being hypnotized without the weird after effects, Jenn's super excited to use this." he said, rolling his eyes as the redhead nodded her head vigorously. "I just think it would be fun, besides. It's high time I get a turn giving the orders." she replied sweetly as Josh gave her a dull look.
Andy shook her head as she looked to the last little compartment. "They look kinda scary don't they?" she asked, staring with poorly hidden disgust at the purple brain like mushrooms. "I know, they kinda look freaky right." Josh said before shrugging. "These were the surprise ones, he only told us that they would Shift our perspectives. Sounds like some psychological nonsense but I'll try them."
"Hey!" Andy scowled at Josh as he grinned sheepishly. "Sorry, I know you're studying to become a shrink. I still don't like it." Andy opened her mouth to retort before Charlie, gently placed a hand on her leg. "Let's not go into this angry, none of us wants a bad trip." he said looking between his girlfriend and his best friend. The two of them had always had a sort of friendly rivalry which sometimes inevitably boiled over into actual arguing, neither he nor Jennifer could understand why.
Josh put his hands up in mock surrender as Andy sighed. "Fine." she said, looking away. Jenn grinned as she picked up one of the little purple morals. "Come on babe, you said you would do it first." she said as held up the mushroom to Josh. "I did, right." he said not looking too happy. "You owe me." he said as she nodded. "You know I'm good for it baby." he took the purple fungus and quickly swallowed it, making a face at the taste. "Disgusting."
Jennifer herself quickly grabbed one of the red caps, swallowing it down with a sip of water. She looked at the two sitting across from them. "Well?" she asked as Josh looked to Andy. The brunette shrugged. "I don't think I'm quite brave enough for the others yet." she said, taking one of the red caps.
Charlie shook his head. "Hell, if Josh is going to take the weird shit then so can I." he said, reaching for one of the black lichen mushrooms. Jenn giggled, already feeling the heat building in her lower stomach. "You know that's the changing one right?" she said as he nodded, swallowing it down.
"Famous actor huh?" he said looking at Andy. "Who should I tu-" he didn't finish before she looked him straight in the eye. "Micheal Fassbender." she said as he chuckled. "I should have known. There's a reason we always watch those terrible X-men movies." The four of them sat awkwardly for a moment before Jennifer, feeling the effects of the dose coming on strong, looked at Josh.
"You're going to be a good boy and kiss me, after that you're going to eat my pussy" she said, her voice hungry, betraying the bonfire that had lit up her loins. Josh nodded his head, a glazed look on his face. "I'm going to be a good boy, I'm going to kiss you and then eat your pussy." he replied almost robotically causing Jenn to smile widely. "Oh fuck yes, it works." she said as she quickly started undressing.
The four of them had been friends since the start of college, with Josh and Charlie being friends for significantly longer. They'd all been to wild parties before so seeing each other naked wasn't all that large of a deal. Still, the thought of seeing Jennifer's tits was still exciting. "You've always had a thing for her huh." he heard Andy's voice next to him as she whispered near his ear sending shivers down his spine.
