I've never been able to chew up fresh mushrooms ): The bitter explosion of juice always got to me. Why are fresh trips better? What is the difference in the feeling and also would a tea made with fresh mush differ from a tea made with dry mush (trip/feeling)?

Ha thats funny, I never thought about the fact that fresh they could have enough liquid in them that it would squeeze out as you chew them, that sounds pretty bad. I would imagine fresh they would be slightly more potent, other than that and maybe expectations of a different feeling from fresh might make you perceive the trip a little differently.

It's hard to make a tea infusion from something with a high moisture content(fresh mushrooms) Thats why making a blender smoothie is the best way to go.
Fresh is stronger because the psilocin(the other primary active besides psilocybin) in almost completely broken down in the drying process.

They are better b/c fresh shrooms contain more psilocin than a dried shroom of equivalent size (10:1). On average 10 grams fresh would contain .79mg psilocin and 1g dried would contain 0.5mg psilocin. The psilocybin contents are almost identical. (this info comes from the dosage calculator)
The taste of freshies are much more pungent than there dried counterpart. I have tried eating them in applesauce to mask the texture with no luck. Like I said in my earlier post cinnamon/raisin bread/bagel is the best way I have come up with to not only cover the texture, but when cream cheese or frosting is added it also masks the flavor.
Blending with oj you can't really tell they are in there, but you end up with a frothy top layer that definitely tastes like mushroom. It is similar to the lemon tek in that your trip will be more intense but not last as long.
My next experiment with freshies I plan to try them in tomato soup. Contains citric acid as well as very strong flavor. Maybe even chili since it has more texture to it.

i'v always just chowed down on em fresh,. i kind of like how they taste.
while munching i always get a feeling like i am eating ink., like my teeth will be stained purple as if i was chewing on a ball point pen.
plus, in my opinion, its easier on your body if you eat them on a completely empty stomach.
