Favorite way to shroom?

What’s your favorite or best way to shroom? The last two times I did the Lemon Tek, 2 grams the first time and then 2.5 grams the next. It felt intense, but isn’t that because the Lemon Tek pushes it into a much shorter time window? Each time that I did Lemon Tek the trip was intense but only lasted 4 hours each time. I think that’s why it feels more intense since it’s all pushed into a 4 hour window. I think that I’m going to eat them next time. By just eating them shouldn’t you reach that same level of trip but it will last longer? I think I’m just going to eat them straight up next time. What’s your advice and input on the method of digestion and your favorite way to shroom?

I’ve never eaten mushrooms. I always make a tea, and these days a Lemon Tek tea; I still strain and throw away the used mushrooms.
I get fast onset, and fast come down. The peak can last from 2 to 5 hours, after come up too, which generally starts after 30 minutes from drinking and then a further 30 minutes to hit max peak. I rarely feel nausea, which I believe is common when eating. And onset when eating is longer - Terence McKenna advocated over an hour to feel effects after eating.
I am led to believe that the peak from tea is t]stronger than an equivalent peak from eating mushrooms.
Take care, DJ Ed

I’m a lemon tek advocate. It’s shorter yes, but for sure more intense. Plus easier to stomach for me. Whenever I eat them straight up it never seems to hit me as hard as I want it to. But that is chewing them as much as I can. I’ve been tossing around the idea of grinding them like when I do lemon tek then mixing with just regular tea and tossing it back to lengthen trip time while hopefully making it a little more intense. I just cannot chew them up to as fine a grade as a grinder can get them. I’m hoping more surface area=easier psilocybin to psilocin conversion.

I've never tried tea, only lemon tek, maybe I'll try it that way next time. What is the lemon tek tea method? How do you make that? How do you make your mushroom tea? What the steps to making mushroom tea? Too much different information online when looking it up.

I’m being a bit cheeky here, but yeah I’m gonna claim....the DJ Ed Lemon Tek Tea, not really it’s probably on here already! But here’s what I do:-
I boil the kettle. In the meantime I break up the mushrooms (frozen and cracker dry) into a pan and cover with lemon juice. I these days use a bottle of lemon juice from the supermarket. I only tend to use enough to soak the mushrooms completely, not a full layer across the pan. Then I pour over about 250ml of boiling water and start to simmer. This is a gentle simmer, just enough to keep it bubbling, for 20 minutes. I must advise, watch and stir often. I once boiled it down too much and it lost all potency. I keep the kettle boiled just in case I need to top up (but if that happens, it means you were simmering at too high a Temp). Turn off the heat and wait a while. When It cools down enough, strain it into a glass; I use a clean dishcloth. When it has strained, squeeze the remaining juice from the mushrooms by wringing the dishcloth out.
I allow to cool down, then drink down in one gulp. The lemon is not too over powering, and the mushrooms never taste that bad. Hoewever, I then rinse the glass out with about 250ml orange juice;that gives me enough energy for four hours into a trip, gets rid of any after-taste, and rinses any sediment out of the glass.
Hope this helps, dude. Mush love, DJ Ed

If you haven’t tried eating them you should... I know a lot of people find them revolting but others don’t.

I was grinding them up and consuming them in juice to mask the flavor, right now I’m on a tea binge

I like to eat dried shrooms with food such as a chocolate candy bar or flavored popcorn. I enjoy the smooth, slow comeup and the masked taste/texture the food provides.

I eat them with a can of tuna. The tuna masks the taste of them, plus I fast all day and I get to eat something small. The tuna doesn't upset my stomach but I do brush my teeth and use mouthwash after..

Either tea, or

Tea → ice cubes.
Each of the 15 ice cube compartments is 30mL. 450mL boil water. 225g wet cubensis. 15g/ice cube. Boil-off accounts for freezing expansion. Makes for easy dosing. Indefinite storage. Awesome cocktails.
edit: I'll usually do a mix of tea (camellia sinensis), ginger, and cubensis for the boil. Strain that off and add ample honey.

May be circumstantial? Heard round here that tea does not effect potency. Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Psilocybin breaks down at 400-500 degrees Fahrenheit from what I've heard, so there shouldn't be any way to adversely effect potency with water.

A tuna sandwich with shrooms? I might have to try this clever method

Yeah, InfiniteDreams, it very well could have been coincidental. I may have described it better by this: the water had effectively reduced to almost nothing, I.e. it had nearly evaporated off. So my hypothesis was that some of the active ingredient had also boiled off, not necessarily degraded. If that makes sense?

Fascinating, footpath. So if I’ve done the maths right, each ice cube contains 1.5g dried mushrooms effectively (15g wet)? And then basically you put the ice cube into some other drink before necking it?
Cheers, DJ Ed

Correct. I do find that 15g fresh packs a little more of a punch than 1.5g dry. This seems to preserve that, although that may be psychosomatic - I imagine the psilocin is broken down during the boiling process the same as the drying process... but maybe not? Maybe someone with more aptitude in chemistry can shine a light on that.
I'll usually crush it up if I'm adding it to a room temp drink. Otherwise, you can just pour a little hot water over it and have an easy gulp.
