Pros & Cons of Shroom-Tea

So I've tripped probably 12-15 times now in the last 3 months and consider myself fairly experienced in this field. I've yet to try shrooms in a tea form. I've noticed slight gastrointestinal discomfort when coming up and sometimes at the peak. Is this due to the actual fungi material and would a tea eliminate this issue?

I'm also in the same boat as you, I've only had them dry. But I've read that shroom tea makes the come-up a lot faster, and the peak will be quicker as well. Most people describe it as a smoother experience, with a shorter duration, and more visual. I can't wait to harvest some fruits from my upcoming mono and make some fresh mushroom tea!!

A little lemon juice with the and or eating 500-1000mg of vitamin c with the tea will make the experience stronger .
I usually like to get the most out of the experience with my tea since the experience tends to be a bit shorter.

I've heard mixing the shroom bits in ginger tea helps eliminate the nausea and stomach discomfort, give it a try and report back!

Ginger does work, and depending on your marijuana tolerance sometimes marijuana can help, but for some less experienced users it intensifies the trip a lot.

I love making tea. I only make tea. I've long abandoned eating them raw. Here is why:
Pros - faster, intense come up - easier on the gut (nearly no nausea) - super easy to consume, as the taste alone is not unpleasant - shorter duration (though, only slightly)
Cons - the come up can be very intense - shorter duration (I guess it depends how you look at that factor)
That is all I can think of. The pros highly out weight the cons for me. Don't let people tell you there is potency loss when making tea, because there is NO NOTICEABLE POTENCY LOSS. If there is IT IS NOT NOTICEABLE.
Potency loss due to heat, in my experience at least, is from LONG TERM exposure to high temps, and not just simply by heating them up to consume immediately.
Make tea.

We don't have the proper enzymes to digest raw mushrooms. Tea cooks them, reduces nausea, makes us come up faster... maybe there's another benefit but that's enough for me.
Fuck eating them!

Definitely put lemon or lime in the tea. It does make a difference in extraction. I made tea last weekend with just hot water and my trip was very weak compared to when I have added acid to the tea.

My favorite way is using a shot glass with powdered dry shrooms. Add a big pinch of powder to the shot glass, pour some tropical juice (or OJ) into the glass, ttake a shot like it was alcohol.
Repeat till all the powder is gone 
The only cons of tea is (one) it takes more time and effort to make and (two) there is more chances for error if u have never made a tea before (overboiling, too much water, too hot, not hot enough, spilling, etc).
I prefer shrooms smoothies, cause i like things ice cold

Not to be a downer or anything, but mushroom tea is my LEAST favorite method of ingestion. The come up is just waaaay too intense. Every time I've tried it, it's caused me to have panic attacks. I can easily handle the same dosage any other way though *lemon-tek, chocolates, etc* so I just stay away from tea. My friends love it though so I'd suggest trying it at least once to see how it goes

Chocolates are dank too 
But I don't see how tea gives you more anxiety tbh.. It has always been a smoother experience for me

I dunno I've tried it multiple times, and its like clockwork. I'm tripping so hard 10-15 mins. after drinking it, and I keep getting higher I've always had a very fast metabolism though, maybe that has something to do with it Yet lemon tek doesn't cause me any anxiety at all *but kills my stomach...too much acid* By far my favorite is chocolates....last ones I had were made with andies mint chips...omg they were heaven

Then spend the first hour of your trip debating rather or not you want to drink more!
At least, that's how it tends to work for me

Tea works great and is my preferred method, but there are times when it's not particularly convenient to make on the go. 2nd favorite method is to grind them into a powder and just mix them in with some orange juice and chug it.

I always wind up disappointed with tea, it comes on faster but its not as intense and it doesn't last as long. I would say I'm doing it wrong, but its pretty damn fool proof, plus I've tried every conceivable approach to the process. Maybe I just need to use a lot more than I would have eaten?
Straight up eating them, or mixed in o.j., or chocolates, or yogurt, or peanut butter crackers are my standard teks now.

I love/usually go with the capsule route. its perfect. Just like eating them straight besides it takes abot 10-15 minutes more to feel initial effects

Yea that makes sense, they're easier to break up into small pieces and greater surface area means more actives are transferred to the tea. Unless you eat the chunks at the bottom of the cup, then the effects should be about the same, wet or dry.

For a microdose I'll use a capsule. For a real trip I'll make tea. No fancy procedure- I just put the dried cubes into a tea ball along with a bag of lipton tea, add hot water and a squezed lemon and wait 15 minutes.

Why not just add water and fresh mushrooms to a blender...blend it...then put into a pot and simmer it down to a nice drinkable amount?
That's what I would do if I was making tea from fresh mushrooms.

Because the chitin in the mushrooms can cause many people to have stomach discomfort. Although perhaps cooking it may neutralize that. I'm not sure. Sounds slimy and gross tho.

Following Primal Soup's recipe and adding a bit of extra water after it's simmered along with a couple of ice cubes makes for a fairly tasty beverage imo.

Tea is my preferred method.. though have used caps a few times, caps are a lot more nauseating for myself.
Have recently got a nutribullet thing, am wondering how it would go with putting powder in there, with other ingredients for a nice drink?

Great idea, why hasn't anyone suggested this before? Seems like it would hide the taste very well as well as give you a nice mental buzz during the come-up. I'll be trying this soon

I did it last time i tripped. Well i didnt make coffee but i brewed the mushrooms in a coffee machine. I powdered them and put them in the filter..then i put the water in the maker along with some lemonjuice and i brewed it about 3 times. Then i put the mushroom water on the stove and simmered it down to a cup. Worked like a charm.
-------------------- Something there is mysteriously formed, Existing before Heaven and Earth, Silent, still, standing alone, unchanging, All-pervading, unfailing, I do not know its name; I call it tao. If forced to give it a name, I call it Great (ta). Being great, it flows out; Flowing out means far-reaching; Being far-reaching, it is said to return. It's just a shot away..
