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:-)

Wait, we're supposed to eat them? I thought this site was dedicated to just growing them to watch them grow.

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

I like to eat them when they’re cracker dry or made into a tea.

Make sure they get into your digestive tract. Profit.

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!

I like the taste of fresh ones. Just twist and pop them in your mouth.

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.

lemontek is the way to go, there are many ways to ingest mushrooms. Be creative.

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.
