Hey, I was wondering about mushroom tea but i dont have any dried my mushrooms yet. I have 35 grams here (3.5 dry), but they are wet, and ive read about making mushroom tea from dry shrooms, and you have to grind them down. How would i go about this with wet shrooms? How many people is it good for (35 grams).. Whats the water ratio etc etc? whats the process?
edit: yeah this is post # 420

I have no experience with tea, but I'd say just chop them up small and soak them in hot (not boiling) water for 15 minutes. Then strain the pieces out with a cloth or coffee filter or something.

I read on here yesterday that chopping them up too much can cause over-oxidization and decrease potency. Just thought I'd share.

It wont be a problem if consumed right after or made into tea.

If i were you i'd mash the mushroom into, well, mush. Then steep in hot water for 20-25 minutes. Strain the chunks out and you're good to go.
Actually, now that i think of it, you can prolly leave the mushrooms to steep for a much shorter period of time because the alkaloids are already dissolved in the cytoplasm.
When you mash it up, i'd suggest mashing it in the vessel you plan on making the tea in, this way you don't lose any of the precious shroom juice on the cutting board, counter, etc.

when i grew, sometimes i would make fresh shroom tea.
1. Take desired amount of shrooms and place in a cup. 2. Boil water. 3. Pour water straight from the stove to your cup. 4. Using a stick blender, blend that shit well. 5. Add a dash of honey and/or lemon. 6. Let steep til cool enough to drink. 7. Drink. 8. smoke a joint. 9.

Don't chop up, just throw them in and cook 10min at 120f. Strain with old face mask. Use a pair of pliers to squeeze out all the magic. If you use coffee filters make sure U use more then 2.
The only reason I prefer this method over tea is because I feel U lose a little potency with the tea. I prefer jungle juice:
35g Wet 1/2 orange 12-14 oz of blue Hawaiian punch Blender 1min hi The orange should help settle stomach Make sure you fast 4-5hrs and no greasy food b4 hand. It will be approximately 15min to kick-in. Should be good for 5-7hr depending on your tolerance. Please be aware that their are certain type of mushrooms that can be very hallucinogenic . Never eat mushrooms if you don;t know where they came from.
Good luck...

why would you strain it from the mushroom chunks? i just add honey and go bottoms up the chunks are flavored by the honey and go down easy, especially if you're steeping with a tea for flavor.
and dont boil the water, excessive heat breaks down the very things you grew the little buggers for. just get it real hot, hotter than you could comfortably drink. but not boiling.

He remains this way for about three hours, making bizarre noises, pretending to be a new species that must learn to walk and talk and eat, etc. And he communicates with other life forms by way of the antennae on his head. Eventually we jam a tube from a waterbong into it's mouth and figure he's learned all he needs to know.

making tea does not affect potency to any noticble degree.
ask roadkill, i saw a post of his where he made mushroom foods and it did nothing. spagetti, pizza, etc.
