Why does everyone hate the taste of mushrooms so much?

My experience eating dried cubensis mushrooms is that they actually taste pretty decent, like a snack
I’m naturally prone to nausea and alcohol always makes me feel nauseous but shrooms never do...

Some people have a wider range of tastes they can perceive.
I read that people with a smaller range enjoy black coffee, people with a wider range think black coffee is too bitter.
If genetics says some people have better hearing than others, better eyesight than others, why wouldn't we also say that some people taste more/less than others?
edit: For me, I don't really think it's a taste thing, it's more a texture thing. I can't even eat a microdose the size of my pinky nail without retching over the sink half the time

Well I’ve always been an epicure, but it’s not like I don’t find some foods disgusting. For the record, I dislike black coffee...
Maybe wet shrooms would taste disgusting, but my experience with dried shrooms is that the texture isn’t dissimilar from an old, non-chewy candy

IMO yeah, the taste is super nasty, texture is whatever but the taste makes me retch. Preferred consumption method is tea, chugged as fast as humanly possible. Once it's in my tummy there's no nausea or any problem.
As for why, I really couldn't say.

For me, cubes, cyans, azzies and ovoids taste horrifically bitter in an odd, metallic way that makes the front of my face unpleasantly tingly (kind of like an anxious feeling, but like, with the sensation of taste added to that), Fresh or dry I get that taste, and even thinking about it makes me feel that sensation a little bit. Stones (sclerotia) just tasted downright sour to me, but it wasn't as bad as the flavor I get off of most Psilocybes I've eaten. Alan has been on record saying that if you bred/gene edited out the psilocybin that you could sell cubes as an edible , best paired with a glass of RoundUp (joke) , but I personally have never had them in any application where they'te tasted anywhere near "good" (besides chocolates).

When I first started tripping I could tolerate the taste but as the years have gone by, I can’t tolerate the taste any more. Especially fresh ones. I mask the shrooms with strong juice or consume them as tea.

IME when I didn't know where there shrooms came from, I always gagged and didn't like the taste. When I started making my own and could eat them fresh or warm out of the dehydrator, I started to enjoy tolerate the taste more.

I've never been able to handle the taste. For me they just taste like the worst combination of nuts, dirt and twigs and it makes me want to vomit. I use tea every time

Lucky.
Not everyone hates the taste of shrooms. But I do find them to hard to eat, so I eat them with food. They are pretty strong in taste that I don't particularly like.
But some people I know have no issue eating them and some even love the taste. Its pretty trippy how you get both sides of the spectrum with taste.
Enjoy those shrooms, snack away

Dried cubes remind me of chewing sunflower seeds as a kid. I also love the taste of stones. Especially the acidic after taste. I'm kinda weird.
I'm working on a AA+ grow right now. I plan on cooking with them and documenting some recipes.

I have never eaten them, for me they are the “Brussels sprout” of the mushroom world! So I always cook up a tea with boiling water and lemon juice for 20 minutes. When it is cool I neck it down in one then followmthat by rinsing the glass with orange juice.,it’s all over in unden5 seconds and the orange gets rid of the taste. Don’t get me wrong, lemon juice is a pretty rank drink butntogether with the mushies it seems drinkable.
I rarely ever get heartburn from the lemon in the tea, and the nausea is vastly reduced. And the come up is so darn fast......
So tea all the way: masks the taste, reduces discomfort, and reduces come up anxiety (because the come up is quicker).
Mush love, DJ Ed

I was that weird kid growing up that automatically like "weird shit" like mushrooms, fish, and weird spices with no convincing required lol.
Mushies have never been a texture issue for me! Ground beef, though? THAT'S a different story.

I watched Alan Rockefeller's talk on Youtube and he mentioned he cooks them. So I cooked mine once and I think I will probably do it again.
I cut up broccoli and fried them in olive oil, added some onion. Then once cooked and some burned pieces, I added the mushrooms to the pan. I think added heavy whipping cream and butter and simmered for a little bit. Couldn't taste the mushrooms at all and had an excellent trip. I think next time I will add a little less cream as it was pretty heavy on my stomach. But regardless, highly potent and a great time.

More props to you if you can eat mushrooms straight up and think of them as a "snack" I literally will gag every piece down, hold my breath, plug my nose.. watery eyes.. the whole thang(no wonder my ex gf hates me)
ANYWAY - it's terrible IMO. But hey, to each their own. If I'm going to eat them, I make sure to have a chocolate bar or something. Scarfing down an 8th+ with just water is torture. But, it all pays off in the end.

Can’t be worse than scarfing down vodka to get drunk, lol. That shit seriously feels like poison even after you drink it (pretty sure ethanol is actually poison, lol) if you don’t have beer or something to chug afterwards to mask the taste

Shrooms are great, live ones are the best. Dried shrooms can scratch your throat a little and trigger a gag but other than that it reminds me of stale popcorn.
I think after years of things like calea tea, straight whiskey, peppers that will set the plate on fire etc the ‘volume’ on shroom taste has been turned down pretty low. I’ve never tried cooking with them but I’ve heard of milkshakes that people make that have mushrooms and some form of thc in them and those always struck me as possibly being next level awesomeness.

Stale popcorn is a perfect description. Not the most desirable thing in the world but I’d still eat it if I’m a bit hungry and slightly satisfying in taste even

I love how mushrooms taste, wet or dry, the only exception being really wet, really fresh ones. I collected and ate some Psilocybe caerulescens once right after a big thunderstorm. Those were some slimy guys.

I always felt like it was the body telling you that there are indigestible parts to those shrooms. They don’t break down well in the body and I think some people are more sensitive to those signals than others

I can't say I hate the taste but I don't enjoy it either. It's dry, raw mushrooms after all, perhaps they taste amazing when combined with other ingredients
When making shroom tea I usually try to use other plants as well just to make it taste better

theres something about shoving a bunch of shrooms down your throat that feels so natural and animalistic that the method itself of ingestion becomes a part of the trip for me. I feel similarly about the tea in a sense of becoming a slightly more evolved being but neanderthal in roots, lemon tekking for me just seemed like some wild unnecessary bs that definitely intensified my come up but ultimately destroyed my stomach with relatively small doses on a few occasions. I defintely think it helps maximize effects but greatly intensifies the anxiety on the come up which I rarely/minimally experience when ingesting in other fashions.

I think eating the buggers has a weird effect on the trip sometimes too. It's such a weird act to chow them down that you're in a weird mood just sitting there and then you're waiting for them to kick in, so still in a weird mood.
Once I remember like at the end of the trip it felt like time could've been moving backwards to the moment I ate the mushrooms or forwards to the end of the trip, and it was as though each moment still existed and was being acted out just in a separate place for each moment. I felt like I had just eaten the mushrooms, or was somehow simultaneously still in the act of eating them, because of this and it was a very weird moment for my head. Then the trip wore off from there within like 15 minutes, it was about three to four hours in.
But yeah. I've never made a tea, but it will be interesting to try it out someday.

Hmm yes definitely more intense but also fascinating about the come up anxiety. I’m going to just do a tea next time and see what gives 👍🏻

I would say my main preference is grinding em up and making chocolates with dark chocolate that contains a large % of cacao. Mainly because they take a couple hours of prep then all ya gotta do is pop em in and chew. No weighing, making tea or thawing tea and not getting stuck to the teeth. Also noticed the longer they age the more oomph and duration they have. They are like eating the little crackle bars that have the puffed rice in em, taste about the same to. Just gotta watch out for the apocalyptic Aztec death farts a couple hours later.

Can you explain how you make it in more detail?

Double boiler, mini muffin tin, rub olive oil on the tin for no stick. Heat up the dark chocolate in a double boiler, grind up shroom powder and slowly add the powder and a tea spoon of olive oil, keep stirring well. Then use a small rubber spat to fill the muffin tin holes. Pick the tin up and repeatedly drop it on your counter to get the air pockets to come up to the surface. This may take 30 or so drops. Make sure all the chocolates are even, keep the oven preheated to 200 if ya need to rewarm the chocolate up if it gets to stiff. Throw in the fridge for a hour or two, then flip the tin upside down over the counter and drop it, collect your booty. I use 44 grams of mush for 12 3.5- 3.75 of actives per dose. 
You could even just take the chocolate and make balls and just set em on parchment paper than throw em in the fridge to harden but dose accuracy is easier with the mini muffin tin. There is so much mushroom powder in them that it is a dough like consistency when working with it.

Thanks for the info Zappa. How do you store Them? For how long are they potent?

I just cut squares of tinfoil and wrap em like butter cups. Vacuum seal the long term ones, sandwich baggie the rest and refrigerate em. Should stay potent for quite awhile, they actually seem to get better over time. The onset is about 30 minutes for me to were plain mush is about an hour and tea is 20 minutes. Ate one that was over a year and a 1/2 old hiding in my fridge and it hit as fast and hard as tea with a good duration.
Chocolate is an psychoactive substance in it's self and as diverse in compounds as cannabis as well. It is a mild MOAI but nothing on the level of syrian rue if your going for psilohuasca or plan on oral DMT. Some folks do claim that the chocolate mushroom combo tends to intensify visuals and duration inwhich I agree. The down side is some say it gives them a headache mid trip, probably because of the Theobromine which is a precursor to caffeine or just simple lack of hydration. I just get super nasty farts that even make the cats give me a dirty tear eyed look as the flee the room.
The darker the chocolate and cacao content the higher the alkaloid content. The best concentration of the alkaloids is in the raw nut and the thin skin that surrounds it. Dark chocolate doesn't melt as easy and the mushrooms in it make it taste more like a milk chocolate. Just like the mr good bar mix bags with the crackle or nestle crunch bars.
Aztec tradition was to consume a caoco beverage before during and after ingesting mushrooms for there ceremonies and also considered a gift from the gods.
Bottom line is it synergies well with mushrooms pharmacologically, are pretty incogneto, quick and easy to dose and taste great unless ya dislike the taste of chocolate.

Taste is always subjective, I don’t think any of us judge if some likes the taste or not. But for those who do not like the taste, we appreciate the different ways of consumption. But I can see that the majority do not enjoy the taste, especially if it enacts a gag reflex.

Because they taste terrible. I've eaten lots of things for example rotten meat, rotten eggs without gagging, but even the smell of dried Cubensis makes me gag.

Fresh cubes are good. They taste of dirt and water.
Dry though. I need a small glass of oj to put those down. It's not horrible but definitely unpleasant.

jdawg333 said: I think eating the buggers has a weird effect on the trip sometimes too. It's such a weird act to chow them down that you're in a weird mood just sitting there and then you're waiting for them to kick in, so still in a weird mood.
After smoking DMT with different herbs (making a kind of changa in situ), I've had some interesting ideas about how the style of consumption for a psychedelic impacts the trip.
Like LSD, regardless of the dose, always felt A LOT more potent than any other psychedelic to me, and it seems to me that part of that is due the lack of any "residual sensation" from the consumption during the trip. As if the drug was strong enough to just "appear" in my system on it's own.
While mixing different herbs with DMT produced seriously different, but reliably so, styles of trip. And as the only difference to note was the flavour left in my mouth, I reckoned that the differences in trip could be entirely down to that one sensation varying from one mix to the next.
That or plants have spirits of their own and I was experiencing communion with different spirits each time...

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.

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.....

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.

That sounds really plausible, Lazaro.
Cheers, DJ Ed
