Yes, I agree, it's not worth the risk.

Now it's all ground to dust and covered with 97% Ethanol. Let's see what happens!

Oh man, this is SO confusing.. I've been hearing so many different opinions.

The Teks that are common here for extraction all mention alcohol of varying purity.

Have you done any extractions using water only?

Do you just drink the liquid?
What do you do with the "mushroom sludge"?
Doesn't it taste awful?

I like mushroom tea better than earl grey tea :shrug:
and yes I drink it.
you dont need alcohol, the search engine is riddled with bad info.
tick the TC box and no older than 2-3-4 yrs depending on what info you want/get.

the "lemon tek" is simply adding a few drops of lemon juice to your tea,
I've even heard some use ginger root against the nausea.

Ginger root seems like a good idea. It can be very warming.

Does it also work with dry sclerotia?

Do you drink the tea along with all the mushroom material or do you filter it out?

I dont filter it, but I avoid drinking the wet mushroom mush in the bottom of the cup.
you can just drink everything but it sorta defeats 1 purpose of making the tea (not having to eat mushrooms)
tea comes on faster.

I cant remember who did it but there is some threads where a guy stores this tea + orange juice or something like that in bottles in his fridge.

Is it efficient? I mean, if you put in, say 3g of dried cubes, do you get a decent experience similar to eating it?

I would go thru with the extraction dude. I wouldn't want to drink tea made from moldy fruits

Yeah, with the current moldy stuff I'm def. going for extraction.
I was asking about the tea for future ventures.

If u boil moldy mushrooms all u have is tea with mold in it. At least with an alcohol extraction u are getting mostly only actives without the mold. I don't know if u read the whole thread spacechildo but OP has some sclerotia with mold growing from them. I don't think tea is a safe approach to this. Sure u kill the mold by boiling but u are still left with dead mold which can trigger allergies and probably cause all sorts of bad shit. I agree tea is better approach for normal, healthy, properly dried fruits but that is not the case here.
