The smell of mushrooms.

So, I really love the way shrooms smell, the earthy, slightly sweet smell from them is enough to give me chills and make me giddy (kinda like the comeup on shrooms but I dont think these are quite that potent). Like I have a bag of dried cubes and I cant help but grab it every so often and take a deep whiff of them. Anyone else completely infatuated by the way they smell or have I just spent too much time underground?
Also I don't understand the repulsion about the way they taste...they just taste like normal mushrooms to me but a bit more pungent and maybe a bit musty...but very similar to the Agaricus Bisporus I saute with onions and put on burgers...

I too enjoy the smell as it is always a good smell and means things are going well.
As for the taste, I dislike it... Then again I dislike normal mushrooms too.

The taste is all dependant on what substrate you grew your mushrooms out of, sometimes it's fine and other times it's too pungent.
The compound responsible for that earthy mushroom smell is called Benzaldehyde and Benzyl alcohol, other components come into play with different species but that is the dominant profile.

I just objectively like the smell....I liked it before I ate them, no clue why...
As for the taste, does it completely repulse you like a lot of people say or do you just not enjoy it? Because personally although it doesnt bother me, the taste isnt really pleasant...I like mushrooms but like I mentioned....pungent and musty, not really that tasty but in no way worth moxing them with other stuff to try to mask it....too much work.

I used to not mind the taste and smell but that was well over a decade and I dont know how many doses ago. The repulsion grows on you for some reason.
No I can hardly even stand tea

Do you get bad nausea from them? I know I've experienced a similar growing repulsion for Hawaiian Baby Woodrose Seeds, the fist time the taste didnt bother me at all and reminded me of nuts but the nausea during the trip was terrible so the second time I could barely swallow them...

I like the smell too!
Sometimes, when I am walking and just thinking of nothing, I smell them again for a brief moment. This signals to me it's time to trip in the near future again

I love the smell of mushrooms, and as for the taste, I don't like it. But when I think back to eating them when I am tripping, I just feel like the taste is absolutely amazing. Idk why

Same here, when I smell mushrooms in the air the day after a heavy rain I get excited.

The first few times I took mushrooms I was able to get it down without much fuss, as time went by I started to get gag reflex and then turned to tea and now I gag when drinking the tea as well and it has become extremely unpleasant so I am looking for alternative methods to get it down.
The nausea I get isn't too bad really and does not bother me, it is the taste which makes it hard for me.

Hmm, didn't think I'd have to be the one to say this but try plugging it.
You don't have many options left if you can't swallow capsules and even tea makes you gag.

Huh...I hope that doesnt happen to me. Does the same thing happen if you eat non-magic mushrooms? That would be an issue for me...

Try drying them first, then cut the dry shrooms and mix it with a lot of chocolate. You barely even notice the mushrooms that way.
Or do what me and my friends often do: bite of shroom, bite of chocolate, then chew & swallow.
Keep water and cigarettes on hand at all times to combat nausea, and you'll be fine!

I love the smell of freshly picked mushrooms. Almost like rainwater!
I can't stand the taste of fresh or even tea. But I have a technique for the tea which is add 1:1 ratio of homey:water. And make this barely cover the mushrooms so you have the tiniest bit to drink. Spices like toasted cardamom and aniseed and a lil ginger cover the taste well too. Sweet magic chai

Are you sure tea makes you gag? What species/strain did you use? When I make my tea I dunk them until the water goes to room temperature it doesn't make me gag, it just taste like somewhat dark tinted dank bong water like tea but then again I always add pineapple/orange juice

This is the cause of most nausea for me. I can't even smell woodrose seeds now. And the first time I had mushrooms, I munched down on them in the field. Now tea can make me gag if I don't hold my breath, drink the whole lot, then rinse my mouth out with water and swallow. Even after this ritual I still get shivers down my spine on the slightest hint of mushrooms.
