Mushroom tea

Does boiling water ruin the potency on psilocybin or is tea a potential way to dose? I've never tried anything but straight shrooms.

No. I recommend tea. I think a lot of us drink tea.

Not only do a lot of people do it, it's also easier to dose evenly based on volume of liquid.

I also feel like sometimes some amount of shrooms just sit in your stomach chilling, and the trip can start slowing down. Then you eat and your metabolism kicks back in and its like poof, round 2, FIGHT! Drinking tea helps it to all get absorbed at once.

I think you are spot on, Aspect. I think the tea makes the actives more bio-available so you start and finish faster without the "waves" of potency. At least ime.

Yes, and this is with a lot of substances. In a liquid, it's easier for your gut to absorb the alkaloidz..like you pre-extracted it, if that makes sense

I would like to try preparing tea, but I am thinking that a long come up serves to prepare mentally. In other words, I am just scared to jump in too quickly, and prefer to have some time to relax and meditate. Maybe I am way off and I should just try some tea, and see how it goes?

Your mental preparation comes before dosing.

Oh yes, no doubt about that. I was thinking that the come up could serve like a buffer. Now that I think about it, you guys are right, the come up doesn't last long, and it has the potential to induce some anxiety or some negative feelings if it is too intense I guess. Well, next time I'll try making a tea. The taste of cubes is gross and I swallow them with water anyway to avoid the horrid taste. I need to cultivate some pan cyans soon.

In a way the anxiety is just another element that you need to learn to understand so that it's not overwhelming.
If however it is a bit too much for you then consider making tea and drinking it in 2 helpings to lower to initial come on.

I genuinely thought that I had my feelings under control, during tripping, till last Saturday, when I had what I would call a bad trip, still a healing trip, but it left me with no desire to dose anytime soon again lol. It wasn't anxiety that got me though, this I can keep under control, even if barely, the issue was my anger. It is such a scary feeling, which I never learned to control. Next time I will definitely have a trip sitter. Keep in mind that I also quit weed, so it definitely affects the trip, not being under its influence, not sure how or why though.

Our sense of control! will inevitably activate the "trickster" archetype. Like there are little gnomes listening underground... "hehe - did he say, 'I've got it under control'? Activate UNPREDICTABILITY! Show him his shadow."
It's part of what I love about psilocybin. Keeps us on our toes. The journey is ever-unfolding.
Good to hear you still had a healing experience and were able to utilize it!

Does mushroom tea expire? I feel kind of bad just tossing it down a drain. It feels disrespectful, kinda. Recently, I haven’t been drinking the entire thing of my microdose tea. And I just don’t want to throw my little buddies man 😪☕️ And I’m talking about like saving it until the next day
I break them into pieces and make my tea so there’s pieces left in the tea I don’t really intend on keeping it a long time at all but in all reality, I think that I wouldn’t throw them down the drain I would probably put them in some grass next to a tree or something
I’ve never made a post on here either so I’m sorry in advance if I fucked this up but I really want to know

I am pretty sure that it does begin to lose potency pretty quickly. Like within hours once the psilocybin is in contact with water. Many folks freeze their tea to keep it for a longer duration.
My experience is based on a few runs when making gummies so it is anecdotal. I cool the tea rapidly with ice baths in my process now because cooling it over night in the fridge resulted in weak batches. I have not done a full control study or anything. So take it for what it is worth.

People here have said that potency of tea decreases after a few days. It’s best consumed all at once within a day or 2.
Mushrooms are best stored bone dry, in a sealed container with a desiccant pack, somewhere dark and cool. Like that, they can last years without losing potency.

When you make the tea is it with the whole dried shrooms? or powder? just curious if you end up eating them w/ the tea

It works either way. You don't need to eat the mushrooms after you've made tea -- the active ingredients (psilocybin and psilocin) are soluble in water, so the vast majority is extracted into the liquid.
How I make tea, is weigh out a couple of grams of whole dried mushrooms, crush them up a bit, and then throw them in a mug. I boil water in my kettle, pour the water over the mushrooms, and set a timer for 15 minutes. I stir them a couple times, and then once the timer goes off, I pour the tea through a coffee filter to get rid of the chunks. Then, for flavor, I add a couple of herbal tea bags to the liquid and let steep for a minute or two before drinking. If it gets cold I pop it in the microwave.

Stamets mentioned at the Wild Mushrooms Conference that the active components start degrading immediately after contact with water, so even an overnight is bad. There was no mention of whether freezing may arrest this process.
