Tea for sure.  I don't lemon tek.  I just sprinkle some citric acid into my tea.

Cut up 50g of fresh fruit, put them in a small sauce pan, cover with water, sprinkle a bit of citric acid in (like 1g if you want to weigh it out), bring to a boil, let sit for awhile (10 minutes to an hour).

When I come back I turn the heat back on, get it back close to a boil, dump it in my tea strainer with a bit of green tea leaves.  Makes a nice citrusy tea drink.  Good hot or cold (just add some ice cubes if you want it cold).

If I want to be floored I chug it.  If I want to ease into it I drink it slow.  The comeup is about 15 minutes on an empty stomach.

Raw mushrooms just aren't easy to digest.  Dried or fresh.  And I got sick of puking them up.

Dried mushrooms has never given me any visuals no matter how hard was my trip. With lemon tek I only need 2 grams to have an out of body experience.

Im old school and just eat them dry. But i guess i should try the lemon tek thing since i hear people usually have a better experience with that. Call me crazy, but dry mushrooms never have bothered me. Yeah they taste gross and the texture sucks but its not as bad as some people make it out to be. Thats just my opinion though :elmo:

Lemon tek is great but you need to be very careful. Never drink it all at once, it will fry your brain. Devide your cup in 6 parts and take one part every 30 minutes.

Same here, me and some nooby friends of mine did 2g each in tea and after 30 mins we were balls to the wall. I felt bad bc it was their first win time but it ended up being fun, just intense.

I don't know about frying of brains.  Sounds like that old drug propaganda commercial.

But yeah, I tend to drink half my dose and wait a bit.  Helps ease the come up if nothing else.

Mushrooms are made out of chitin, the same thing bugs are made out of.  We don't have the enzymes to digest them raw.

The taste and texture has never bothered me.  But as I got older it became really apparent how much easier tea is on my stomach.

For nearly 10 years I just ate the mushrooms dry, chewed up and washed down with water. The taste/texture never bothered me and mushrooms have never bothered my stomach either, so I felt no desire to try other methods of taking them.



Last winter I tried making a tea (with a little bit of lemon juice, or any sort of acid, added) just to change things up a bit, and I now prefer to take mushrooms via tea. I prefer this because...the come up is much quicker (I usually feel the "first alert" within a minute or so), and it's much easier to re-dose mushrooms via tea compared to eating them since the actives make their way into one's system so much quicker than when the mushrooms are consumed in whole form.


I usually brew up more than a single dose worth of mushroom tea, and drink it accordingly...re-dosing 2 or three times over a 6 to 8 hour time frame.




But I find no differences in the actual effects/experience between eating them and drinking them in a tea :shrug: ....just a quicker come up and come down when they're taken via tea.

Do you strain out the mushroom flesh and discard it?

Tea, hands down.  Boil the mushrooms loosely chopped in lemon juice and water, add some herbal tea and fresh grated ginger to steep, strain and squeeze all the fluid from the solids, discard the solids.

Effects are exactly the same, but the intensity curve is different, you get a faster come-up, more intense peak and then rapid comedown with tea, and yeah, if you want to extend the trip, redosing is easy.

Eat them straight up, fresh or dry. Only way to go in my opinion. You fuck around with tea, boiling, extracts and lemon tek your bound to loose some precious alkaloids. Plus I like my trips to last a bit longer not hit hard and fast. I tend to feel let down with the later :shrug:

I've done that since day #1.....


....and really, there's no potency loss when making a tea (years ago I thought the same)....If there is it is very miniscule and not at all noticeable by myself or many other folks that have been brewing their mushrooms into tea for years now .

If one is truly concerned about potency loss when making a tea, then place one extra tiny stem into the tea :shrug: ....I've never noticed any difference in potency though.

My longest trips have been with tea and not from eating them... since a sip or two of tea is all it takes to keep things going it's easy to re-dose. If I feel the effects start to taper down, I just take another drink....it's also much easier to control the level I want to be at with a tea.




But if I had to pick my #1 favorite way of consuming mushrooms, it would be eating the fruits when they're freshly picked. I certainly notice a difference in some aspects of the trip between dried and freshly picked.
