Ginger and Mushrooms

I read a page on the shroomery about puking, and it said that ground up ginger and mushroom powder would give you less of a chance of the vomiting. I find this very useful if it will work for me because i always puke about 20 minutes into it.
I was wondering, do the shrooms and ginger have to be ground up, or can i just chew them and it would help?

i used ginger in gelcaps once and i didnt have any nausea but it's hard to say for sure if it was the ginger alone.
if you have powder you can just mix it with water and drink a few minutes before you chew up the shrooms.

Ginger has been known to soothe upset stomachs for quite some time, so that's a good idea. Maybe you should take it a while before you do the shrooms, say about a half hour. Let us know how it works out.

O.K. if shrooms are upsetting your tummy heres the solution, tried and true.
Grind up your dose in a coffee grinder, 2.5-3grams usually does it, have fresh ginger handy and take off about 5 or 6 good shavings, add all this to a coffee cup and use an organic peppermint tea bag (also very helpful for the tummy). Now you guessed it pour in some boiling water and allow to steep for 5-10 minutes, strain off the particulate and steep it agian if ya want, I usually don't since I think all the alkaliod is extracted in the initial steep.
Any-hoo this is the perfect shroom tea, and will not upset your tummy (most likely) and doesnt taste all that bad either.
Some people say that heating up your shrooms causes loss of potency, I don't find this to be the case, shroom tea has always "gotten me there" just as well as eating them directly, just easier on my guts and a little more visual, for me.
Experement with this recipe, I personally love it.

That sounds like a pretty sweet recipe. So there is zero reason to eat the particulates that you strain off?

Don't put the ground mushrooms in until the water has cooled a bit. Psilocybin is sensitive to high temperatures.
Once you add them, let it steep for 10-15 minutes then you can strain & drink.
Enjoy!

I've had no problems with off-boil water causing potency loss, although you hear that all over the board, I don't think that there is a signifigant potency loss by adding the hot water.
I also see no reason to consume the particulate, since its the fungus thats making you sick not the psilocybin, and all the psilocybin is now in the tea..........

You could do that, but chewing raw ginger might be a bit spicy. I would also caution against chewing up and swallowing much raw ginger, as this can expedite certain bodily functions (might be a bit uncomfortable while tripping.)
The mentioned combo of making tea with shrooms and some slices of ginger has worked wonderfully for me in the past though.

Ginger works well. You can get ginger capsules from health stores (or ginger root and capsule them yourself) - take a few about 30 mins before ingesting the shrooms. Powdering the mushrooms and putting them in capsules helps too, but you can just mix them into a drink. I also take a few more as I take the shrooms and down it all with real ginger beer. This helps a lot - I still get a brief bout of nausea, but it's far more managable. You have to tell yourself that you'll be ok in a bit and instead of puking, sit down and take a piss (looking at the toilet bowl when naseous can make me inclined to start gagging, but if I sit down and take a piss, I'll forget that I felt sick). You could also try smoking a small amount of pot as the nausea begins (if you smoke pot). This can speed you past the horrible winding nausea come up and gets the trip moving.
Try without pot first - it's nice to save the pot for the come down and have a purely mushroom experience.
