Bad Tasting Shrooms?
#28646802 - 02/04/24 08:42 PM (3 months, 11 days ago) |

Hello,
I have been giving out shrooms to all the homies that are down, and most people have enjoyed them so far. One guy said they tasted awful, worst shroom taste he's ever had. I have only grown a couple times so I probably did something wrong. My current theory is I didn't wash them off before dehydration, but IDK. Another guy said they tasted good and he was just being picky. Any ideas or suggestions? Thank you

More likely its a personal issue, but I always thought that the longer you allow shrooms to mature, and the longer it takes to dehydrate them, the funkier they will be. I personally hate the taste of cubes. But if you pick them before the caps open and dehydrate them ASAP, you've done all you need to do IMO.

I feel like its just that dude. But yeah, picking them before they become fully matured (flattening caps during fruiting) and preventing spore drops on the fruits can both help make them taste better.

Make sure they're cracker dry. Use a desiccant. Seal tightly. Store in freezer. Mine taste like sunflower seed shells. Yeah, try not to let them open. It's just easier and cleaner. There are a lot of posts regarding the subject here. Dehydration and storage are the main factors. Or, the person just thinks that they are gross. IDK my 2$

I donโt think you could do anything while growing to significantly change the taste.
Shrooms are just gross. Iโd bet yours were prob the freshest heโs had also so that may have something to do with it.

I know it's not due to spores dropping, I harvest around veil breaking. Never let it fully open up. They should all be cracker dry, I check the biggest ones before removing a batch. He said they still hit, just the taste wasn't good. Probably were the freshest he had, literally took them off the dehydrator and went straight to him lol.

I noticed more potent fruits taste worst (due to the higher concentration of actives in them), maybe your fruits are just more potent than what your friends are used to

capsules, chocolates, gummies, tea, etc are good ways to hide the taste. either you or the picky guy could get started with a coffee grinder and $10-20 of supplies.
sounds unlikely that they were moldy or you did anything wrong

Taste is irrelevant when you're discussing mushrooms, you accept they taste like ass and enjoy the ride.

My 2$... avoid the freezer. First reason, no need. Second reason, condensation upon removal from fridge.

The taste of AA+ puts me off, but I put up with it because I know it gets me spangled every time.

If you pick right before spores drop they're still inside the cap of the mushroom how come you wouldn't taste them then?
Just to edit: the post I was replying to was deleted I'm guessing the guy was a spammer or something. Swear I didn't bump this just to say that
I agree with OMR below. Tea is where it's at for me as well.

My next project: crossing cubensis with winecaps to get a gourmet psilocybin fruit. /s
I make tea from ground dried shrooms, make tea, strain the solids and lemon tek it, and mix it with margarita mix. Taste isn't an issue.

Ouuuu! Now that would be a cultivation project! ๐ฅ
I wonder if the substrate makes any difference to how shrooms taste? For example, growing on wheat berries vs. growing on oats vs. growing on popcorn (salt anyone?)

OP some people just hate the taste of dried cubensis mushrooms. Some people love them. Personally i'm not a fan. I always do capsules, tea, or some kind of edible.

Because of the incredible difficulty, nearing impossibility, of cross species hybridization, bruh. The /s denotes that we are both in on the joke. It would be like crossing dogs and cats.

I recently experienced that the taste of fresh cubes immensely betters when heating in oven on 100C for, I think it was half an hour. Just like gourmet mushrooms the taste seem to improve from heating. The peculiar taste seem to have lost, and it actually comes near tasteful! (though that is still a matter of taste ofcourse...)

I find the taste of p.cubensis to be very similar to p.semilanceata, and for me they both taste of wet,old hay... not good but bearable.
On this forum i kept hearing about tea, and making tea so it has better taste so i did made tea.
And let me tell you, gentlemen, about how that tea had the taste of boiled rotten old socks with a little bit of sweet that made my stomach go : " pump it out, pump all the damn thing out ! "
On my side i will never, ever again make tea and i will stick to dehydrated mushrooms served on top of a slice of orange or lemon.
