Instead of tea, try mixing it with some tang (dry) and running it through a coffee grinder, then add some cold water (debated on whether or not heat hurts the potency) and drink it down, all you taste is the tang,
as far as drying goes, check out the damp rid techniques, I haven't noticed much of a difference between wet and dried, except its easier to figure the does when dry, wet varies quite a bit some shrooms are hollowish and some are more full, so they'd have different dried weight...

1 - measure out amount of water you want to drink, and warm water on high until it boils 2 - drops pre-measured dose into boiling water 3 - turn heat down to medium, and note time 3.1 - stir occasionally, every two or three minutes give it a stir 4 - after 13 minutes, pour out liquid without the solids into a cup 5 - squeeze solids with a fork or something to get them to let out juice in them into the cup 6 - add a bit of honey/milk for taste!
You will generally feel it coming on within a few minutes of drinking it. It generally comes on much faster, but lasts a bit less of a duration.
There is no need to eat the solids.

As far as I am concerned, there is no debate, and I base this on personal tests.
Heat, over time, will damage potency. Mushrooms from the same batch dried in a food dehydrator for 6+ hours are completely impotent. The same batch, when dried with a fan, are extremely potent.
Tea does not degrade potency at all. The reason is that 10-20 minutes of heat is probably not enough to damage the potency to any noticeable measure; however, after a few hours, it is.

I completely agree, but i've seen it debated so frequently that i'm not going to tell someone that it does or it doesn't...

LOL, it all depends... I guess i can say that it is a shorter trip in general than lsd
but it all depends as far as intensity

I blend, oj with shrooms. Goes down easy.
Freash shrooms taste nasty to eat, eatting dry shrooms is the 2nd best way for me.
Using Tang most likely works the same as oj.

Boiling heat for 10-15 minutes won't affect potency. It is only after some time (hours) that heat really breaks down the actives, in my experience.
Yes, you drop the whole mushroom in, or pieces, or whatever you have. Just measure out say your 3 grams and drop it all in.

Eat the shrooms with starburst chew a couple pieces up then chew a shroom into the starburst you hardly taste anything!
You might make the mistake I did once and use all your shrooms to make tea then try to drink it and all it does is make you gag. I have taken shrooms with starburst ever since and never tasted a thing but fruity mushrooms!
