When I first started tripping years ago I was able to eat them and didn’t mind the taste so much. As time went on I could no longer stand the taste. My solution is grinding up the shrooms or truffles and putting them in gel caps. No gag reflex or nausea, Works great.

yes i find mushrooms taste toxic.

I also feel they have physical toxic effects on the nerves - before the trip starts i can feel the toxins in my mouth, affecting my jaw muscles and all the nerves and tissues.

If you are a sensitive person (physically, not just mentally) then you'll understand that they have a effect of tiring the nerves.

after a bad trip, i almost felt some parts of the body/muscle have been partially paralysed, and this effect remained for a few days.

I love the taste of edible mushrooms but there's this bitter aftertaste in shrooms I just can't take. It's not bad when you first bite into it but after a while the bitterness kinda piles up inside my mouth and I just can't eat them. Thank god for orange juice, I have no trouble drinking orange juice with powdered shrooms in it.

Doesn’t bother me at all. I can eat them like snacks. I’ve eaten fresh too and still not a problem.

Im curious, how do u make your tea?



Let the water come to a boil first, then add shrooms. Mostly just summer for about 10 minutes and stir.  If I want less water then I leave it boiling which usually turns out fine.  I dunno specifically not a lot to the recipe.  Still changing around the shroom to water ratio and adding some flavored tea before or during the shroom simmering process. I either strain when done or let them sit in the tea for a while.  Which got me strong effects once but for a good bit of shrooms 10-15.  Made some yesterday with this red flavored tea and about 3 shrooms.  I have added ice before after or sugar when it’s hot.

Sometimes it is just shrooms simmering in water about 10-15 minutes and then strain the tea which just looks like black tea or Coca-cola, but adding flavored tea bags and it can be red or purple

I love cubes but they taste horrible to me. I have to eat them with peanut butter in order not to gag right when I taste them. The first few times I ever did it it wasn't that way though. Which is weird.

Oh yea I've done this too. But if I don't have caps then I mask the taste with peanut butter.

They smell and taste like feet and mushrooms to me. Eating them also gives me digestive upset, so all the more reason to make tea or lemon tek. It also makes precise dosing a lot easier.

I’m not sure if it’s a powerful psychedelic, then why expect them to have a pleasant taste as well?Probably has to do with their condition or people are being cheap and lying to get a more easy fix

Something to be aware of, and please check my facts because I often unintentionally get numbers wrong! But your stomach will empty its contents through to the next part of digestion when there’s about 250ml of liquid in your stomach. So assuming you wash your tea glass out with 150ml of orange juice (taste, energy for trip), then you want to keep the finished mushroom tea less than 100ml.

Update:just read through a few Google’s on this, because I don’t want to mislead, but it seems the stomach will only empty half its contents. But whatever the figures are, if your stomach is emptying liquid before you have absorbed all the psychoactive chemicals, will your trip be reduced? I don’t know the answer to that, but in total contradiction to what I’ve just said, I have noticed on those times I’ve boiled the tea down really far, every single trip affected thus has been crap.....

Take care,
DJ Ed

Wow,  that is a powerful concept, and I’m not sure if all of the active components would be absorbed through the stomach.  I know that’s not true for certain toxins.  I’m going to remember this and do some research for a possible more speedy come-up.
As for boiling I usually don’t, but haven’t noticed the difference if effects. The thing is I have had very varied effects from tea from way powerful to very smooth and subtle level 1 or 2 trip effects.  But My strongest batch gave me a 10 minutes(?) trance with fractals and kaleidoscopic scenery, and nothing one with Closed eye hallucination and a very comforting, yet untranslatable message making me feel peace and at ease when I opened my eyes

As others have mentioned here, I used to not mind at all the taste of sclerotia (all I've up to now had the pleasure of trying), but in time, I've become quite aprehensive to the taste. Last time I ate 25 grams... Would not have been possible without orange juice!
All the previous times I had eaten them raw without any juice or condiment.

And why would that happen? I believe it is because the shrooms upset the stomach, cause nausea, etc.; as the body becomes aware of these effects, it develops an aversion to the taste: it's anticipating the nausea that is soon to come. The first times the body was not aware of what would happen, so it did not react to the taste.
