Mushroom honey

Hey all
So I havea couple pounds of mushrooms that are a bit on the weak side. Might need to eat double a typical dosage for a proper trip.
Was thinking about making some StRONG honey.. I want a teaspoon to be a relatively heavy trip. So lets say I take a quart mason jar of honey and add as much ground mushrooms as I can in it, then eventually strain out the mushrooms and repeat. Is this a good appoach? How long until its absorbed all the actives?
This kind of info appreciated! Lets discuss blue honey!

Thank you, I can't tell you how many times I've forgotten to experiment with blue honey. I like the idea of straining the honey and just adding more fungus repeatedly.

I'll add some speculation: straining ground up powder from thick honey may be difficult. Perhaps only chop them, not powderize.

The way I always understood, was to throw rather largish chunks into the honey and leave them for a few weeks. The honey preserves the mushroom and leeches the chemicals into it, slowly purpling/blueing the honey of done right. Then you can take a spoonful of honey or two when you want. There is no reason that you could not pull the mushroom chunks out after two weeks, and add new fresh mushrooms. I do not know how dense you can ultimately make the honey though.

Can this be done with dried shrooms? Or do they have to be fresh?
-------------------- One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. 'Which road do I take?' she asked. 'Where do you want to go?' was his response. 'I don't know', Alice answered. 'Then', said the cat, 'it doesn't matter.'

I see no reason why they'd need to be fresh. If anything it might be preferable to use dry.

Is that from Fritz the cat in your avatar?
I think it can be made with fresh or dry.

Whenever you're filtering the shroom honey, I'd probably heat up the jar after letting the mushrooms inside sit for a week or 2, if anything it'll help complete the mushroom extraction and also make it more liquid and runny so you can filter it much easier.
I'd also try and buy more of a runny honey instead of thick honey as that'll probably help. Instead of full on powderizing them, maybe just have them "shredded" where the mushroom pieces can easily be strained out through a metal strainer.

Dry mushrooms are used in the tek because otherwise the honey gets full of water. The mushrooms start to rot.
Also, the mushroom bits--don't powder if you intend to strain the honey--have to stand in the honey for a couple of months to impart a phychedelic effect to it.

Fresh mushrooms will get you blue honey, not dried. The chemical reaction that turns the mushrooms blue only happens when mushrooms are wet/fresh. I think the effect occurs due to osmosis, which again requires the presence of water.
Honey is a preservative, which protects fresh mushrooms from rotting

Hah
I think it can be done with either but maybe only fresh will turn it blue?

Turning blue is a sign of actives being oxidized, so why would you want it to turn blue?
I would try whichever method that doesn't cause oxidation if fresh and dry truly have a difference.

do one of each to test it, and then even if dry works better always put a bit of fresh in there for color purposes
i mean its blue honey man. efficiency be damned

Honey can be dehydrated if it takes on too much water. Get a "fruit roll sheet" for your dehydrator. I know we all have one lol
Holy shit imagine dehydrated blue honey... If u could figure out a standard dose.. perfect mushroom candy

So I'm about to make my own blue honey for the first time. Thought I'd check back and ask the OP what he ended up doing and how it went?
I suppose it hasn't really been long enough to Know. From what I just read you should leave the fungus in there for at least a month
