Question to a new shroomer

Hey, so, I'm new to shrooms and I was wondering if some people could give me a heads up or some tips. I bought some liberty caps (an eighth) and I've read that you should take about 1/2 an eighth the first time you try it. According to the dosing calculator on here I should take slightly less than that. So my questions:
Should I take a full 1/2 of the eighth? How should I take them? (they're dried) Just eat them? Lemon Tek? Make chocolate? Etc...? I'm taking them with another friend and then we'll have sitter. We're going camping. Is that a good place? (it's really secluded) The only thing I have experience with is LSD. Only done it twice however. Any information will help!
Thank you,
Mal

Eat a 16th, wait an hour. See how you feel. Eat the rest if desired.
Just eat em. Chew em up, use gatoraid to swallow them.
Mush can be kind of wilder (brain turns to absolute...mush :3 ), but if they know how to sit, they know how to sit.
Just do your thing.

Eat half of it, see how you feel then eat the rest if your up to it. Don't over think it. Eating them straight is always a for sure deal, and in my opinion the best way.

Eat it all at once. You've done lsd, so you'll be fine. I debated this same thing my first time (teenth vs. eighth), and I would've been woefully disappointed had I chosen not to eat the whole eighth. I had no previous psychedelic experience either.

They're liberty caps. Those are what...twice as potent as cubes?
So that's like telling him to eat a quarter ounce of cubes for his first time.
Eat half, OP, liberty caps are potent.

Update:
Well, I took some of the advice. I guess this should go more in trip reports but I figure I can explain a brief experience here.
I took them two nights ago, a sixteenth (half the eighth) about 10pm. I had eaten a few hours previous so I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it could be but oh well. I just ate them with gatorade as recommended. I didn't feel anything for about an hour. Then I felt something similar to LSD where the side of my throat and mouth had a slight tingling sensation. Then I felt a "numbing" sensation in my hands. I was simply laying down on my bed looking at the ceiling. My friend was playing xbox so the light was flickering on the ceiling. My ceiling is stifled so it looked like an ocean with the faint light. I could see movement in the stifling and at points it appeared the ceiling was smiling at me. Shortly after, I wanted to go outside and look up at the sky (it was a really clear night here). I walked through the connecting room that went outside which was completely dark (sorta scary). Went outside and laid in the grass looking up at the stars. I watched them spin and explode around me as I moved my eyes back and forth. Some had trails, others seemed to flicker. Immediately I had a wave of emotion. I can't explain what brought it on or what I was emotional about, I was just sitting there thinking. I closed my eyes and felt as though I could create anything with such precision and quickness that it was unreal. I saw flashes of colorful images such as flowers opening up, entire cityscapes being created and destroyed, visualizers, and other twisting, changing objects. I can't give you a "guess" at how long I was outside. It seemed like 1 hr (maybe an hr and a half?). I walked back inside and laid back on the bed. I put on some Kid Cudi and laid back feeling the tingling in my neck and the unbelievable softness of my bed. Unfortunately, my trip didn't last anywhere near as long as my LSD one and ended rather abruptly. One minute, I was watching the ceiling spin around me, the next I was yawning and fighting off sleeping. Overall, however, I enjoyed it. I was surprised how quick it was (probably a mostly full stomach on consumption?). However, it was nice, pleasant, and a great experience. I am planning on doing it again with some friends soon. They've never done it so we'll see. Next time: (I'll still have Liberty caps), empty stomach (I can say however, NO NAUSEA), and I'll probably eat just SLIGHTLY more since this time I wasn't on an empty stomach, I think we're going camping so that should be a nice environment(and my girlfriend will be there )
Thank you everyone for the tips, Sorry for the book^^

I kinda jumped ahead of the camping trip I posed in the question. We're actually doing that NEXT weekend. So this is just me with a sitter.

Shrooms don't last nearly as long as LSD. Also if you take a fairly low dose, as you did, you will probably only feel effects during the peak, which you did. Stronger doses mean you will feel the lingering comedown much more. With strong doses I still feel the body high 10 hours after ingestion.

I'll have to remember that. Next time I'll take more and be on an empty stomach so that should help.
