How much trash do you trim off the bases before eating?

Just curious how much of the crap at the base everyone trims off before consuming. A lot of times you get those fruits that bring up some sub with it no matter how much you twist or gently pull. At what point on the base do you trim up to? Nobody likes a big bite of crunchy ass verm lol...

Comes off easily if you dry them and then shake in a closed plastic baggie.

I tried tea...It tasted like liquid assholes. Can't hang. Chocolates are good, but the crunchy verm still doesn't make me happy (even though it's tasty then lol).

I use also Doc's toothbrush when hes not looking. If the mushroom is too small then I gently wrap pipe cleaners around it and slide it down the base.

hold the base under running water and gently brush the verm off, then place in the dehydrator.

Just washing them removes most of that junk, no trimming required.

Is the "active" content different amongst different parts of the stem? I've heard the cap is slightly less than the stem. At some point does the stem contain less actives where it turns more into myc or substrate?

I've never seen good evidence that it varies in a consistent way, though it way vary in individual cases.

I'm pretty sure in psilocyban mushrooms of the world, Paul Stamets said that in his test of P. cyanescens, the stem contained a high level of psilocyban to psilocin and the cap was the other way around

Of course there was overall a variation, but something to note is that in the test, flushes 1, 3, and for were relatively higher in psilocin:psilocyban and it was flush 2 that had the high psilocybin. No kidding

try actually steeping a tea bag in it as well and adding some sugar or honey
its rather palatable

English only, please.
I dry mine in the dehydrator, then it just crumbles easily off the base.

I've never tried tea, but from the descriptions I read, you're supposed to eat the soggy mushroom gunk afterwards? Is that right? If so I think I'd rather drink a cup of cold sick.
Yes, brush the stem with Doc's toothbrush (when he's not looking obviously) and/or rub anything big off with your finger. Like crushed oyster shell. Definitely don't want to find yourself chewing that.
As for consuming, I'd choose to man the f*ck up and choke down some dried mushrooms (and verm) with a nice glass of Cava. Given the choice I find fresh mushrooms slightly more palatable.
