Best way to consume dried shrooms?

As per title really.
What is generally regarded as being the best way to consume dried mushrooms, without compromising potency/experience?
TIA

Grinding and packing in capsules is good. Also tends to give less tummy issues than eating dried.
I've seen an extract forumlea but not tried it. Was called God crystals. I think it's on the old PF tek site.
Is basically grinding powdered very dried shrooms, doing a wash with water, filtering with a coffee filter, then doing a wash with Everclear alcohol, then mixing both, throw out the mash, and evaporating the liquid until it forms crystals.
Though someone here said you'd need a real lab to extract crystals, but they didn't say if they had first hand experience.
Or you could do both washes but don't evaporate all the way and use it as tincture. I've heard you can add crystal vitamin C as a preservative if you mean to keep it for a while.
I think the tincture can work on dried expended mycelium also. I'll try it after my last flush. I'm on my first flush ever now. Will post if it works. Seems like a good way to not waste the last bit.

Eating them
Lol make a tea or capsules like said above. Eat them with a chocolate bar. Whatever floats your boat. There's a million ways to consume them. As long as they get down your gullet thats all that matters. Just don't do it with a heavy meal.
Orrrr... throw in your mouth, chew, down orange juice or something to kill taste. Can't beat that:-)

Ok thanks for that. Thinking I'll keep it simple though this time tbh. Either just cut/grind them up, or try lemon Tek. May even brew a tea.👍
Just interested in whether any of these obvious methods produce better results than the others really. 😉

Tea is the cleanest, and quickest if boiled with lemon juice. Slightly more work than just eating them, but much easier to stomach. Over in as long as it takes you to gulp down 100ml tea followed by 150ml orange juice

When going for large doses and especially if you are prone to tummy issues, just try the lemon tea tek or put them in capsules. For lower doses (below 2 grams), I'd say just chew for a bit them and quickly gulp some apple or orange juice to mask the taste. Personally, I find the taste of dried shrooms horrible; it makes me gag immediately. But at least I never get nausea or stomachaches!

Tea tea tea tea tea
I personally like being hit like a freight train and I'm a bitch about the taste of fungus so using only like 1-2 cups water and simmering it down a little and concentrating it is my favorite method. Slam it, chase it with something tasty, and then get torn apart by psychedelia shortly after.
Less nausea for me this way too

I like the powdered and in capsules method.
I'm not a huge fan of shroom tea (but can totally appreciate why others do) not because of the abrupt start/higher intensity/shorter duration, but because every time I've done the tea method, the comedown happens so suddenly for me that I'm sort of left wondering what the heck happened, haha.

I was going to make a tea for my last trip but I was feeling apprehensive about it so I just ate them with a glass of oj. I didn't want to think about it too much. But once I placed the first ones in I was fine and remembered it wasnt bad. Although I was did have a moment where I almost gaged. I think I placed too many in my mouth but it was fine. A good stiff tea sounds good.

I'm eating dried liberty caps with yoghurt and pineapple-carrot juice right now. I'm about to gag holy shit never again I'm going back to tea. If these were fresh this would probably be pretty good.

Haha, thanks for all the replies peeps! Given me a few good ideas there. 🙂
I think tea & lemon Tek both seem like good ideas..but not sure about the idea of the trip starting/finishing so abruptly. I kind of like the slow build up at the start, and then the slow, peaceful wind down when all is said & done. Gives you time to reflect before it's all over. 😇
So maybe I'll just chop them a bit smaller, and wash down with some orange juice. 👍
Ginger & honey chews sound nice! Wouldn't know where to get those though. 😕
Somebody reputable also suggested having 'some sweets or glucose to hand, in case things get a bit leery'. What do you make of that? 🤔

And yeah..going to be testing around 3g of dried Treasure Coast fyi. Been about 5-6 years since my last proper experience..and need to get the most out of it (spiritually).
Hopefully that's going to be enough..

Lemon Tek was fine. I rather just make a tea. No fruit bodies that way but I don't get nasuea but I do get a bout of diarrhea about 2 hours after ingestion. Regardless of fruit body.

So you strain the tea..is that what you're saying? I assume it's preferable to ingest the entire fruit body for maximum potency? Not too worried about it eventually coming out one end or the other after a few hours..kind of accept that as part of the process most of the time. 😅🙄

Def strain the tea. Its tea cuz you dont have to eat the fruits. Simmering in water will get all the actives out of the mushrooms. If you're taking 3g and wanna get the most powerful ride out of it I recommend tea or lemon tek (according to others, I've never tried lemon tek myself)

See this is interesting, because every time I have done tea, it doesn't hit like a freight train at all. Doesn't matter if it had citric acid or not. I think the psilocybin is metabolized in my liver first, because it takes a good 20mins to even start feeling anything after drinking. And the come up is like 30-60mins. And yes my stomach has been sufficiently empty.

Yes strain it. It's literally as easy as: put dry shrooms cut up into mug and pour boiling water. Let sit for 30mins, stir a few times. Strain and drink. Maybe squeeze the juice out of them shrooms to get the last bit of power out of them

You don't like to boil with the fruits?
Boiling water is like 262*f if I remember correctly and the melting point of psilocybin isnt until like 450*f.
I've always worried that just steeping alone wont get alllll the goodies out

Boiling brings a nasty taste when the mushroom starts to disintegrate into the water. It becomes a slimey consistency, like thicker. I used to boil my fresh mushies too for a couple mins, but I'm not sure it's necessary. Steeping seemed to work just fine regarding potency. But they were in there for a long while. You can always use more shrooms when brewing, no need to extract every microgram out

Typical though if you made the tea from dried. Try fresh if you haven't yet - nothing quite like having a shit ton of psilocin take over in the blink of an eye.

Cool, ok. Might try that then. Could always try and chow down the fruits after as well with some orange juice..just to make sure. Not saying it's gonna be pleasant..😉

best to powder them down finely, and then you are left with nothing but a little bit of gritty texture when drinking. which can be masked by pulpy orange juice. Easy remedy.

Why do you feel the need to bring hate to my thread? 🤷🏻♂️
The thing I love most about psilocybin, is what it does to improve me as a person. It has taught me to show love, kindness, compassion, and respect to others. If I come across somebody who needs help; from any walk of life..in any subject matter, I enjoy assisting them in whichever way I am able. If I know something they don't, I'm happy to share that knowledge so they in turn can share it with others. Everybody wins.
I have a fair amount of experience with fresh mushrooms, but absolutely zero experience with dried. I came here to ask for advice, because this is where I know I can find the answers I'm after.
Everybody who replied to this thread has been really helpful..and I now have the answers I was looking for. You are the only person here who felt the need to belittle my enquiry. Maybe you should think about that..
Maybe you should also think about all the times people on here have helped YOU. We all need a little help from time to time..as none of us have all the answers.

It saddens me that you are a member of this particular community, but still post comments like that. Shame on you. 😞

Hey The Blind Ass,
Lost motivation over last few weeks; sitting 10 hours a day working from home in my bedroom, alone. I’ve always liked to keep myself to myself, but I’m missing human interaction now.
Had a stack of challenging and one bad trip at the start of the year, been trying to make life changes since so my next trip has different experiences to work with. Feels like I am slowly getting there, but it feels like one step forward two steps back at the mo.
So only been lurking on here last couple of months. Wanted a good experience to remotivate me before I started “advising people on here again”. I’m planning 3 ice cubes soon: 5.4g PES Amazonian fresh. Probably do a write up.
I’ve missed y’all, but sometimes you just have to take stock for a while 
Take care DJ Ed

Much as I love a good Crunchy, isn't it recommended to chow down on an empty stomach for maximum effect? I suppose one crunchy wouldn't make a lot of difference though tbh. 😋

Yeah I'm an asshole and?
You are the one expecting a little baby hand feeding. I know you know about the search function. You could easily look up tea tek instead of looking at us like a baby bird. We are here to help but for god sakes at least make an effort to meet half way. The time it takes to get a response here could be better used in the search function.

You are the one making this into a fucking big deal. Searching for "tea tek" gives various results, not one good tea tek that the op was after. Asking specific questions isn't necessarily asking to be hand fed the answer. You need some work on your issues man.

Yeah, that's my bad. I guess I have an unrealistic expectations for other human beings. It just I'm very willing to go out of my way to find information. And then I see people that won't take the time to do some basic research.
I do apologize for my unnecessary bullshit.
I'm going to do some yard work.

I know it's not your question, but the best way to consume shrooms it to pick them out of your tub, shake the sub of the bottom, and chomp 'em down with water.
I think they taste pretty similar to grocery store shrooms. And fresh never gives me tummy upset, unlike dried, for some reason.

I agree entirely. This is what I normally would do. But couldn't get them to grow this time..had two failed attempts, and 4 wasted months. So somebody sent me a gift. Dried is what I have to work with on this occasion. 👍

4 to 8 mg Zofran about an hour ahead of time. Then a really potent ea I can sip till I get right where I want to be, which usually a quarter in, sometimes less sometimes more.

I grew some my first try. Just follow the main teks here, and don't forget the still air box. also, wash hands, use mouthwash, wear a mask, wear gloves and wipe the gloves with alcohol.
Do all that up until you get to actually growing in substrate and have the top covered with mycelium. At that point it's hard to infect 'em.

Everyone else has pretty much covered it. I saw someone mention COG. It turned out that the crystals that the tek induces are just mushroom sugars...not actives. Basically you can do the whole tek, step by step, filter your crystals, but in reality, it was the liquid they were filtered from that had the goods. Blast from the past, that one. If you dont study history, yada yada...
On that note, there is one route of ingestion that I dont hear people doing much, but I really love. A basic liquor infusion. Its shit simple and also acts as a preservative. You can use any liquor you want. I always used vodka. You should get regular to medium proof ABV for this. The idea being that the various goodies have affinity for either water or ethanol or some combination. At a 40-50% solution, you've got plenty of room to hold whatever is going to dissolve. Decide how large of a serving you want. (3 shots to get spun, 2...whatever. also makes microdosing super easy!) Then decide how potent you want each serving. Honestly, I never tried to vary the ratio much, as in, try to see how much mush you can infuse into a moderate mix drink worth of booze. I went with 1.7 per 50ml, just a pedestrian crop of generic cubes, nothing special. I bought cases of Absolut minis and that was the serving size. Once that's done, powder your fungus. Put it into an appropriate sized, seal able container for the amount of liquor you're working with. Get the powder soaked with a mild acid solution. Same deal with lemon tek. What I ended up digging was getting a touch of powdered citric acid dissolved in some of the booze and using that. It doesnt really impart much flavor and doesnt dilute the ratio (that's really inconsequential though) Get it soaked in the acid, let it sit a bit..few odd minutes or whatever, then add your liquor. Seal the lid, and shake like a MF. Put it in the fridge for a few days or more. Every time you go to the fridge for something, shake the jar. **Another tip for this recipe, try and use mush that has no spores. Closed caps, aborts, or sterile, you get the idea. That deep purple/black coloring never really filters out and IMO it looks funky.** The time for soak isn't set in stone, at least I never stuck to a set time. 4 days? 7days? 5days? When you're ready for happy hour, sieve the big stuff out, making sure to press as much liquid out as you can. Then I'd run the liquid through a coffee filter or two to get all the solids out. You can also let your jug settle and go from there.
**You could also do a triple pull with this process, (actually a more proper technique), especially if you're dealing with enough volume of mush powder.(divide liquor into 3rds, soak your mush in each part consecutively, pressing and filtering into a main collection vessel. I personally never did this, but I imagine it would be prudent if your dealing with a hefty amount of fungus.)***
That's it. No evaporation, no sludge, no bs. Put your liquid back in the bottle (or bottles) and keep it in the fridge. It will keep a real long time, probably as long or longer than chocolates, although I'm pretty sure it wont be sitting around long enough to set any records! Just consume it how you would any shwilly bev. Make a fucking magic margarita, or a level 5 Screwdriver. The sky is limit. Another fun thing about this is that you can travel with it, just like you would any other liquor. You might need a darker bottle, depending on the turbidity of your product. You can easily cram a lot of fungus into a 5th. JS. The person I learned this from actually stumbled onto this tek trying to figure out how to bring mush with him to Vegas on a plane. He used Canadian Club (*vurp) and put the 5th in his checked baggage. Obviously it was Fear And Loathing for the whole fam that weekend. Lol.
I also love making chocolates. I've got all kinds of cool molds. I pretty much save the special harvests for the chocolates, though. Mainly because I'm just partial to not having to pound 40 or 50g of dark chocolate to get right. I prefer to make smallish chocolates that still pack the punch that you expect. Much easier to do with spicier fruits. Pieces that are around 10-12g, which at 10:1, gives you 1-1.2g mush in each piece. It's way easier to eat,IMO, and it's much easier for people that don't eat fungus on the regular to accurately dose, and not get thrown for a loop inadvertently. The psilo content is homogenized, so the alkaloid distribution is fairly even. The first batch I ever made, I made these mini bars that looked like a miniature Caramello. 3 sections, each about a 1/2" long. I made em with APE and I had many friends who would not eat the whole thing, despite my enthusiastically insisting that they do. Some were even splitting them up between 3 people and everyone catching a noteworthy buzz. Personally, I couldn't understand how that worked, but hey, if it tickles your pickle, right?
Chocolates and mush liquor have consistently been a huge hit with the large percentage of people that really dig shrooms but just hate eating them. I get it. I've always kind of felt the responsibility to people to help them get the experience that they are looking for without all the funky little hangups(taste,stomach issues, dosing appropriately etc) that go along with the territory. IF I'm able to, of course. Obviously not a whole lot can be done with the myriad of mental hangups that people get, but the physical ones aren't super hard to overcome. When these tubs I have in fruiting (first run in almost 5 years!So very pumped!)come in, I plan on making the mush liquor, but with fresh fruits. I've never done it before, but I'm theorizing that maybe, just maybe, the liquor along with the acidic treatment, will be able to capture some of that special fresh magic, that "J'ne sais quos" fresh fungus has that just cant be achieved with dry. That maybe the antioxidant nature of the acid along with the preservative nature of ethanol, coupled with not going through any drying process...who knows? If it works, even sort of, I'll dance a fucking jig. If it doesnt, it doesnt...it's not like it'll be bunk.
WOW...
Holy fuck......
I just realized how long this reply ended up. Lol! Sorry man, when I get started on some shit, sometimes it gets really thick, really quick.... At any rate, I hope this gives you some inspiration, or better yet a fun time. Win win, either way. Cheers!

1. Eating them with something strong like salt and vinny or BBQ chips
2. Boiling them for 10 min, straining them out, and mixing the shroom water with whatever you want (i like lemonade and pre workout mix). This however is a totally different experience from eating them and shortens the trip.

The best way, without a doubt, is just to make mushroom tea with it.
Get a grinder, grind up the shrooms, put the powder in a tea infuser/tea bag, use some lemon juice and let it soak for about 5-10 mins while you boil some water, after about 10 mins pour water over it and steep it (The longer the better, but 30 mins will get pretty much all of it)
Using this method and drinking it slowly got rid of all my nausea issues.

I personally prefer to cover the dried shrooms in honey and eat them that way.
Some people like making tea, but I tend to have a fuller experience when eating the entire fruit.

Dipped some dried ones in southwest ranch and it was delicious. I imagine fresh + ranch would be like a pseudo-salad.

Same. I've tried it both ways now and it just feels superior in every way. The shorter come up, the intensity, the lack of nausea. People seem to be okay with nausea and puking and consider it "part of the experience" but I think it's just an uncomfortable way to start the trip.
Mushroom's chitin is not easily broken down by the stomach, why make your stomach do all the hard work? Let citric acid work it's magic.
