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 only ever ate fresh liberty caps, usually while i was picking them. Seemed like a more gentle experience. Usually laugh a lot on libs.

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 hereβs 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 (letβs say 94%); Slice up your fresh mushrooms into a large pan. Note the weight. Pour over an amount of lemon juice (check out PSβs 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 ππ»ππ»ππ»
Good luck DJ Ed
p.s. Gone into detail because itβs my 1000th post

My first ever psychedelic experiences were with Liberty Caps, but we always boiled them. The amount of maggots left floating on top of the pre-strained tea has put me off ever eating them βwildβ.....
I might be a lightweight though ππ»

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 βem. Wet and dry. Preferably dry.
They donβt taste great, but they really donβt 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 donβt know.
Iβve also never been nauseated by boomers. So maybe itβs 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.
