Hello all , i made myself some tea last night out of 3.6 grams of dried mckennaii shrooms and it came out a dark blueish black color , is this normal or did i do something wrong ?
It blew the head off me anyway and tripped for 5 hours or so and was great but all my friends said it shouldnt of been blue and when i search the net it says it should be brown .
Anyone know why it was blue ?

It's always blue for me. Mushrooms bruise blue. So I'm assuming it's a reaction due to oxidation.

Thanks ! At least i know am not alone 
Was strong stuff , but just curious as the net says its normally brown .
The stems were blue as i broke them when twisting them out , knew that had something to do with oxygen . Its my first time doing this but am learning

The net is often wrong

Did you really make the tea with whole mushrooms? You didn't even break them up at all?

Yeah I highly recommend at least crushing them with your fingers first. It doesn't matter what color the tea turns out, just that you made it correctly. Lemon juice is your friend.

It is brown when you make tea from dry mushrooms and blue when they are fresh.
-------------------- Most of my beliefs I acquired from my father and from John Wayne, and anything that wasn't ultra tough and ultra cool was to me ultra embarrassing. In fact, I lived in a state of near continuous embarrassment, never measuring up to the ridiculous standards I had accepted without question, applied to a framework of expectations neither I nor anyone else could meet.--J C Amberchele almost nothing important that ever happens to you happens because you engineer it. Destiny has no beeper; destiny always leans trenchcoated out of an alley with some sort of 'psst' that you usually can't even hear because you're in such a rush to or from something important you've tried to engineer. ” ― David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

Mine turn blue from dried ones too sometimes. It's really just a matter of how much dissolvable blue material is in your mushrooms.

Well i have about 24 grams left dried so i will crush them up during the week when i am taking them again thanks for the advise !!
@ jesuisravi , they were dried shrooms . I dried them with a fan and then i put some silica gel bags and the mushrooms into an MBB bag and left until they were cracker dry

I bet if you used a dehydrator to dry them quickly and thoroughly the tea would not be so blue.

I use a dehydrator and mine still come out a little blue, but generally only with really blue stuff like APE.

They're really not that bad. If you think mushrooms are bad, go make yourself some ayahuasca. Mushrooms will taste like steak, or blueberry muffins, or the dinner of your wildest dreams, after that.

Dude, that's a tragedy, why would you try making your own chocolate milk? Stay your hand, mortal, before you cross into holy bounds.
