What is the best ingestion method for mushrooms

I'm curious how you all prefer to ingest your fruits? What are some of the pros and cons of each method? I currently have powdered capsules and I'm considering my different ingestion methods

I dont mind taste but wife has hard time stomaching them so I've always made her tea. I've done lemon tek and tea and they both come on same for me. I enjoy tea more as not so sour. Also seen some melt chocolate and mix as well tho I've never tried that myself. Are you looking for a way to ease nausea or looking more for potency?

I like making tea because the nausea is minimal but I feel like I always lose potency. The rapid comeup with lemon tek isnt my favorite either. I'm thinking about making tea with 5g or just eating 3.5g but still not sure

Simmer your mushrooms in a pot with water for 10 minutes, strain out the mush and use the water to make tea. No potency less that way ime.

would it be OK to flavor the water with lemon ginger tea before adding the mushrooms?

I just eat them. Tea is okay but I find it is too short lived and lacks a certain something that eating has. Sometimes I will crush them into applesauce or pudding

You'll wreck your flavourings. That's whole point of adding them afterwards.

definately enjoy the fresh shrooms, easier to eat and no potency loss. with tea, because i throw out the leftover shroom pieces i feel like i lose some potency i used to mix em with Orange juice(using the citrus to help) but now i cant even smell orange juice anymore without my stomach turning with pills i think it takes too long for the capsules to break down parachuting is nice(splitting TP and using it as a psuedo capsule) might be too expensive since the recent shortage

I have never eaten mushrooms, I have only ever made tea. But I recently changed my routine based on loads of great advice from @PrimalSoup: here.
You see, the trip you get from fresh is so much more pleasant than from dried, but the problem is with long term storage and convenience.
And regarding any loss of potency: over the years I have discovered you lose NO potency from drying in a dehydrator for 4 hours at 70 degrees Celsius (about 170F). And I have noted NO loss of potency rom making tea. PrimalSoup advised me you only need to boil tea for 1 minute followed by 10 minutes steeping, to extract ALL the psychoactives. So I boiled for 5 minutes then simmer for 20 minutes to be sure!!
So here’s my routine, step by step:-
Weigh your harvest, and set aside a small amount for drying; When dried the before and after weight will give you your water content - keep a note of this (let’s say 94%); Slice up your fresh mushrooms into a large pan. Note the weight. Pour over an amount of lemon juice (check out PS’s post as he doses accurate;y with citric acid) Start to boil the mushrooms, without adding further water - the mushrooms will boil in their own water and the lemon juice will prevent any burning of the mushroom from the initial heat. You can always add water, but I tend to add at the end, just to aid straining. Boil and stir for a few minutes, then simmer for a further 10 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool then strain: I use a large salad bowl, with a large colander for the initial strain, the run that through a fine mesh tea strainer, and squeeze out the last of the juice Now pour (I use a large syringe to reduce spillage) into ice cube trays. These will freeze indefinitely; estimates reckon viable for at least a year. And are FRESH
So to work out the ice cube dose: Weight of fresh mushrooms = W Water ratio = R (=94%) = 0.06 (100 - 94 / 100) Equivalent dried weight = W x 0.06 = EW Number of filled ice cubes = N
Dose per ice cube = EW / N
My last experimental brew was from 400g fresh, got 27 ice cubes, each worked out at 0.74g so for simplicity 0.75g each. My first trip was from 3.1g and was beautiful. Next week I am going to thaw 5 ice cubes, which will give me 3.75g - PERFECT 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good luck DJ Ed
p.s. Gone into detail because it’s my 1000th post

Ingest them all. That is the best method. Preferably into your body. (One of your holes works best, avoid your nose and your ears, shrooms hate that route).

Congrats on the 1000th post ... I'm just getting started here and still figuring site out but thanks for the breakdown in the method. I've had some of my best experiences from making tea and dont find potency lost either but guess jury still out. I'll be sure to carry on the tradition of detailed 1000th post I have 989 or so to go tho lol

I just eat ‘em. Wet and dry. Preferably dry.
They don’t taste great, but they really don’t taste like much of anything at all. Maybe a younger me -with fresh taste buds and an untainted gullet - would have said they were gross? I don’t know.
I’ve also never been nauseated by boomers. So maybe it’s just me.

A fresh mushroom smoothie is a cannon.
Food processor, anything liquid with citric acid and fresh fruits. Most intense method for me. Tea is relatively predictable come up but the cold "fresh smoothie" always gets a fucking WHOA! from me.
The smoothie is a little harder to get down than tea because the fresh fruits can make it a bit frothy... but god damn you get launched!
I like to use [about 1/3-1/2 depending on how big the mushies are] of the Energy blend drink from 711 its like $1.29. It has a nice not-too-sweet tropical flavor along with ginseng and caffeine from green tea and guarana.
Since ive been using it the stranglehold has been much calmer and im able to control my wandering thoughts during the crossing to the otherside. Once im there its bliss. Maybe its the ginseng. Who knows but i def like it.
The flavor really goes well masks that notoriously hideous flavor. Provides a little mental alertness and pep during the trip too IME.
You can also use that drink 1:1 with some water[maybe 3-4oz of each] in the tea. Again, i find the flavor to be great. No more yucky face after the chug.

Also, I avoid orange flavors for the smoothie. Horrible flavor pairing with cubes. Eeeyuk!
I do not eat dried because i do not like that in-and-out alternating feeling of the trip during the come down. Its weird. I like it intense going up and smooth coming down and a fresh mushroom froth is what works best for me.
Eating straight fresh is good too but god damn is it gross.

Through personal experience, eat fresh. I ate a fresh cap and it was equal to eating about 2 grams dry. The cap was the size of a quarter and F+ strain.

I prefer to eat dry fruits with food like a candy bar, popcorn or a sandwich.
My other prefered way is powdered shrooms mixed in a smoothie or frozen mocha.
Im not sure on the pros and cons other than smoothies are a more expensive method to ingest.

I’ve tried many times unsuccessfully to grow liberty caps; even gone as far as collecting horse, sheep and cow manure, and some of the grass on the moors, but to no avail. On the plus side, liberty caps are one of the best mushrooms for drying because of their lack of psilocin

One option is to brew a tea (fresh or dry) and add pack of two of Alacer Emergen-C Immune Plus. That stuff is considered a cold medicine with 1,000mg Vitamin C plus vitamins B, D, electrolytes and more. The idea is, since you're dosing on an empty stomach, why not get the lemon tek thing + good vitamins to ensure body energy for the trip. Taste is just fine, ride is wonderful.

Ladies and gents, numnum,
Check out PrimalSoup’s post: mushroom Tea
Basically, you’re making tea from fresh mushrooms with lemon juice (or citric acid) then freezing. I use ice cube trays so I know the exact dose of each “ice cube”. Currently got 27 Mazatapec cubes at 0.75g (dry equivalent) each 
Trust me, you’ll never go back. The tea ice cubes store indefinitely, and when thawed, they’re fresh

What a great idea with the ice cube trays!
I dig eating them. Never upset my stomach and they always kicked in fast as hell. Empty stomach + a peaceful place to come up + eating shrooms = magic

made some tea tonight but decided against drinking it, threw them in a ice cube tray. will see about it tomorrow. although in the recipe he calls for 1:40 by weight citric acid, how does that compute to lemon juice? i just did like 1/6th of the weight lemon juice

I’ve given up trying to work it out! I always “guess-timate it by eye!”
My last tea I smashed it; late harvested Mazatapec really quite strong, must have been the right ratio. I think the only way to be sure is to know the exact concentration of citric acid in that particular brand, or even raw lemon juice. So I guess

Thats why its important to grow shrooms year round 
Fresh shrooms llast about 1 week in the fridge. A small but managable window.

Fresh mushrooms mixed with fruits in a fruit smoothie actually tastes pretty decent. I find freah fruits have a better more subtle taste than dried.

No doubt. In that case, freeze em! They last about two weeks in the freezer. But most of your shrooms should be dried, to preserve for a long time.

Haha it absolutely is a breakthrough. Think I’m gonna harvest my second flush tonight, and probably all of it is being made into lemon tea for freezing in ice cube trays. It’s the future......
Got some good agar plates going so the plan was to then start afresh but/........I can’t source any rye grain, and no guaranteed deliveries. So I might have to concentrate on giving loas of love and attention to a third flush.
And at the weekend I’lll be trying my first lemon tea ice cubes  And with the sun having been out for the last few days, it might also be time to try another break through I’ve heard of on here: pina colada smoothie (using the crushed ice cubes for the ice )

Update: managed to find some oat grain, so that’s on its way 
And given the time needed to colonise the jars, I’ll still be giving love and attention to a 3rd flush....

I like grinding them up and simmering in hot coco for 3 or 4 mins. Probably not as smooth as tea but I love hot coco and it has never failed me.

Perfect way to describe it. I always wash down my tea with a glass of orange juice, which then rinses the taste. And gives enough energy for the trip. I once had run out of lemon juice so made my tea with water and orange juice; that was such a weird come up and different kind of trip (though I accept many other factors could have been at play)

I make tea. Boil for 10 min in only enough water to be taken down in one big gulp, typically like 4-6oz water to start but then reduced to 2-4oz. Strain it, slam it, chase with fruit or oj to get rid of the taste quickly.
Then

Im definitely in the minority but i love the taste of mushrooms fresh and dried. I just eat them as a snack sometimes if i get a craving. Cubes taste okay but the ovoids that grow wild here are fire 10/10 taste good as fuck

I was just commenting to the Mrs last night,after making a tea for freezing in ice cube trays last night. The 626g fresh material ended up as a small volume of liquid; 24.5 ice cubes. So I said to her I reckon I could chug that down in one go! It wasn’t the taste that stopped me actually doing it, it was the thought of a 60g dry trip lol

I tend to either consume them dry as they are or more commonly, ground into a powder and mixed with a bit of water.
The taste is not fantastic of course, and I haven't noticed any difference in the trips from either method, so I usually opt for ground in water just because they go down quickly.
I will add that I have had a few experiences where I found myself or others slightly more nauseous from the ground mushrooms versus chewing them whole.
