It is generally accepted that exposing psilocybin-containing mushrooms to high temperatures, such as boiling water, can cause the degradation of psilocybin, which is the primary psychoactive compound in these mushrooms. This means that there is a risk that the potency of the mushrooms may be reduced if they are boiled or heated for an extended period.
However, the extent to which heat affects the potency of mushrooms in tea can vary depending on several factors, including the type of mushroom, the preparation method, and the brewing time. Some people suggest that using lower temperatures and shorter brewing times, such as steeping the mushrooms in hot (but not boiling) water for several minutes, may help to minimize the loss of potency.
It's also worth noting that the effects of consuming psilocybin-containing mushrooms can vary significantly from person to person, and can be influenced by factors such as dosage, mindset, and setting. As such, it's important to approach the use of these mushrooms with caution, and to take steps to ensure that you are consuming them safely and responsibly.

Jayne, did you just parrot a book or a website? Should have tried to parrot better info.
You can boil, cook, fry, etc. Without any kind of noticeable potency loss. If it was so generally accepted that heat degrades the actives then why do we dehydrate our fruit to dry?
Bad info

 thanks, you were quicker. this bad info keeps coming back like a boomerang m
boiling water does NOT damage a thing. boil them for an hour if you want, i simmer mine for 10-15 minutes.
psilocybine degrades through oxidation, thats why we dry them as hot and quick as possible to the point that they are bone dry, and ideally vaccuum seal them.

Why is stuff like that being posted? That doesn't even make sense. A lot of fake information everywhere now on the internet. It's just sad, really. I remember a time when the internet wasn't saturated with... lies. There is no other word for it.

People wanna feel valued/ included, even if it's ill-guided 
And the buck doesn't start or stop with the internet IMO. That's why striving to learn through personal experience and critical thinking are so valuable.
Used to be diehard tea-head (especially with Libs, very stringy boys to eat dry) but I now get a LOT of mileage out of Lemon-Tek (w/sludge consumption, as little liquid as possible, no strain just knock it back then chase it and grimace for a few mins. WELL worth the 'discomfort') and sometimes LemonTek with a bunch of 0.5's capsulated and munched up for extended duration.
Something to think about.
Cheers!

This thread has run it's course, imo. Bumping and ressurrecting a 20 year old post rarely produces any positive results. This was resolved years ago and many tens of thousands of people routinely make psilocybin tea in boiling water over the past few decades. If there are a few people who still want to believe that boiling mushrooms for tea reduces the potency by a small amount, just pop in an additional 0.025 grams and bob's your uncle.
This thread has been closed. Reason: 20 year old post.
