First Time Shroom User Needs Help and Has Pics

Okay so a friend of mine got a free ounce of fairly old low quality shrooms. Or atleast seems to be low quality, and he gave me an 8th for free. Reeks of a pet store and manure they were obviously picked from cow pattys. There are regular little shroomies, ground up shroom matter, and what seems to be a couple large chunks of shroom matter or big dead caps all in the mix of my bag. And honestly I don't know if i could stomach these so I was looking into the tea blends i can make to mask the taste. Would this be my best option? If so, what should the dosage be and easiest way to make it? Any help appreciated, and I will attatched pictures like I said. One of the little shroomies and then the chunks I mentioned.

crackery dry mushrooms ground into powder put into water with lemon juice.
no need to ingest the mushroom tissue after a good 2-3 minutes at boiling.

So put water with lemon juice in a pot on the stove, and put it on say medium? Let them sit for 2-3 minutes?

Acid is key 
Take a cup of boiling water, add in a pinch (1/4 Tsp) of Citric Acid or a squeeze of lemon.
Steep your shrooms in this for 20 minutes.
Very little loss in potency from teas, the benefits outweigh the potency loss.
Another tip is to break the mushrooms up by hand into very small pieces. Avoid using a grinder or powderizing the shrooms. This will make it hard to filter and contribute to to bad flavor & nausea.
I have tried most all preparation methods. Tea is one of my favorites next to chocolates and only after lots of trial and error I found the Acid Water w/ Hand Chopped shrooms to be the best bet.
A myriad of magnificent things have for many years come from a tea...

I don't know if something happened to them, but assuming not, they should be better than average, gram-for-gram

I put the water on the stove first bring it to a boil, lower it to a lowwww simmer then i throw in the mushrooms and lemon let it simmer for a few minutes so the mushies get mushy and remove from heat and let it cool so i can drink it then add one of those personal crystal lite packets (lemon or lemon tea flavored) if someone else is dosing that dont like the taste.
Plus just because they were grown on shit doesnt mean they are low quality
If you have a french press you can use that also but dont grind the shrooms up to fine

Yes.
Break it up finely with your fingers then add it in!

I actually like to let my finger-shredded shrooms sit in a pool of lemon juice in a mug for 15-20 minutes or so. I then add boiling water to the mug, stir, cover with a plate and let steep for 20 minutes.
Letting it soak in lemon first is similar to the "lemon-tek" method in which the lemon pre-processes the mushrooms leading to a stronger experience.

Yes totally! Only add it AFTER your mushrooms have steeped though.
You wouldn't want the kool-aid to inhibit the steeping process.

Can you fill me in on what steeping is? Sorry for all the questions but Im completely new to the scene. I've been a daily marijuana smoker for years and experimented with other substances. Only hallucinated once on Diphenhydramine and that was it's own seperate category lol.

Oh, I take it that means getting all the psilocybin out of the mushrooms and into the water?

Steeping is a general term for ALL kinds of tea, black tea, green tea, Yerba Mate, Mushroom tea.
It is the act of pouring boiling water over your tea\herbs\mushrooms, covering the container and letting them sit and soak into the water. This covered heated soaking process is called steeping.

Well I ended up brewing my 8th in 1 cup of water for about 15 or 16 minutes on the stove at low / wrm. It was pretty warm so once I strained it I put it in a soup bowl and stuck it in my fridge. Im going to wait for it to get cold then mix it with some strawberry kool aid and hopefully I get the desired effects.

Oh I'm sure you will. Save the plant matter from the tea incase you don't feel much or just drink your tea with little bits of it left.
I've taken some potent liberty caps, that were a year old but stored properly, crushed them into a tea and they were still as potent.
I used to think tea was a bad thing but the benefits really do outweigh any minor potency loss.
