Might be a stupid question...but can you make tea with dried shrooms?

Yeah... Can you? Someone told me you can't because the reason the tea works is because the fresh mushrooms have a lot of moisture in them which is what leaks the psilocybe out into the tea. I guess it makes sense, but wouldn't it work the same for dried after a little longer in the tea?
Thanks!

dried works better you say?
Ok then. Do I have to leave them in longer than fresh? How do I know how long to keep them in for?

My recipe and it works everytime.
First chop shrooms up into little pieces, you can do a powder but you don't have too.
Boil some water, after it starts to boil reduce it to a simmer. wait till it cools off a bit before adding shrooms, as high heat can harm potency.
Add some squeezed lemon juice to the water to help with extraction.
Simmer for 10 minutes, then add your favorite tea bags. Cook an additional 5 minutes. Then enjoy! Drink the tea over a period of 15-20 minutes for best effect.

Ok thanks.
I've heard about lemon juice being good for heightening the feeling. How many drops would you say to add?

if your low on mushrooms and want to get the most out of them, add alot of lemon juice. Can be 2/3 lemon juice. the more lemon, the more potent ime
and grind them up, if you want the most outa them
if you want to try something new, search 'lemon tek' on here. Its basicly soaking chopped up shrooms in 100% lemon juice then drinking the whole thing. The trip is alot differnt
Hope i have helped
