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.

People who enjoy the taste shrooms were probably prophets back in the day. Imagine eating as much of the stuff as grows on the ground before you get floored

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

I used to have no issue downing them. Over the years though I’ve grown to dislike the taste more and more. Maybe I’ve eaten too many?

I didn't used to mind them either, but now I get this weird coppery aftertaste. Almost like blood or sucking a coin. Yuck.

Dont mind the taste but the dry ones get stuck in the teeth and thats a bit annoying at times. Was playing stellaris as a muchroom race and get some pretty funny insults form the AI. This one reminded me of this thread.

i've always just chewed them up, let a bit of saliva soak in and swallowed them. I always enjoyed the Earthy/nutty tones they carry.

Get this folks, I’ve never eaten them in 32 years of tripping, always a tea and these days always a Lemon Tek tea 👊🏻

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 👍🏻
