Fasting Before a Mushroom Trip

Is fasting before tripping on shrooms really important? I am taking four dried grams of psilocybin Cubensis next week with a friend, and am curious if it is recommended we fast before ingestion, and if so, how long? I was planning on eating the mushrooms with food, like on a burger or pizza maybe, as I know that they can be gross to eat. Also, I have read that it can be very unpleasant to be really hungry while high on mushrooms, and can become nauseous from fasting and/or eating them plain like chips. Would it do me any good to skip one meal beforehand? Is there a significant difference in the trip when you've been fasting before eating them plain/straight up, and eating them with a decent sized meal on a regular day? What are your experiences with eating food on a mushroom trip day?

Mushrooms are kind of hard to digest so they cause nausea in some cases, more so if you have a full stomach of food.
What time do you want to dose?

I think we'll take them either right after school around three, or before sunset, around 6PM.

I consider fasting ~5 hours prior mandatory. I may have a cup of fruit or something before/while tripping, but nothing big or with any grease.
Not eating is a non-issue, for the most part when tripping there is no large appetite. I do keep some food ready for when I come down 5 hours later and I'll be very hungry then.
I always tell my friends to fast, once my friend came over to dose and insisted on munching down on a big burger and greasy fries right before dosing. We went for a walk and he just had to weigh himself down with that meal, and so he spent a few minutes of the come up puking.
First time I took shrooms was on a pizza slice. It was nice going down but the greasyness in my gut coming up was unpleasant. I prefer grinding them and using them in chocolates, or soaked in lemon juice for 10 minutes and taken like a shot.
Have fun

Very interesting, thank you for your informative reply. I am now considering grinding them up and eating them with chocolate. I can see how greasy food may not be the best choice. More ideas of how to best ingest mushrooms are all appreciated, Thank you!

Here are my 3 reasons for fasting before tripping:
1) You will notice that your body will process the psilocybin at a similar rate every time you trip, allowing you to know more accurately when you will start tripping and how long you will trip. I ALWAYS clock myself after ingesting the last bit, and surely i always start feeling trippy at around 15 min, and start peaking at 45-50 min, the peak wears off at 3h30min and the glow wears off at about 6h.
2) If your stomach is empty, the shrooms will be processed quicker and thus allowing for a faster onset and a stronger peak. Also the effects will feel even sharper if your stomach doesn't have all sorts of sugars and fats and other nutrients readily available to equalize the immediate blood sugar lowering. (you know how you feel less stoned on cannabis after eating a lot of food? The same with shrooms)
(if on the other hand you are one of those that can't handle the rapid blood sugar dips and you pass out, then i will not recommend EVER fasting before tripping, and certainly not smoking cannabis during the trip)
3) You will feel more energetic and lighter if you don't have a full stomach when tripping. You will fell more clean and organic also. Your urine will be more clean if you decide to drink it.
