Don't rid them of the maggots just eat them. They add a nice little crunch in there. Extra protein.

If you suspect maggots and break one open after it already has begun the process of drying, does the damage to psylocin lessen with the less moisture present in the mushrooms? I guess I’m asking if bruising is less effective in destroying the psychoactive the dryer it gets.

Can you do a soak with apple cider vinegar to ensure the release of maggots or will acv damage the psylocibin?

Any Maggots/Bugs That Can Be Removed, Will Be Removed On Their Own By Crawling Out When The Mushrooms Are Drying. Once They Are Dried, Making Tea Will Kill Off Any Leftover Microscopic Bugs/Bacteria

From my experience maggots are only on the mushrooms that are past peak ripeness that are not fit for human consumption. Treat psychedelic mushrooms like any other food product, if you wouldn't eat them fresh, don't eat them dry. That being said I doubt eating those little shroom maggots is going to bother you in the slightest. Slugs are another story and I believe them to be the cause of wood lover paralysis.

I’m down with eating a couple of bugs here and there, but upon opening some and then being housing units to a few or more after only popping up over night just seems like a lot.
I’m sure that anybody who’s eaten mushrooms in their lifetime, or literally any other produce, has definitely consumed some buggos but limiting the amount when there’s potentially one in any one that gets picked just seems appealing.
I saw a post made by ToxicMan suggesting that if you eat a shroom with too many tunnels or too much presence of bugs that it could lead to illness, possibly.
If just the process of drying them out alone will eliminate the critters and soaking isn’t necessary, then cool, that’s obviously the easiest and least intrusive route. Thanks ya’ll.

They will come out/die as the mushrooms dry don't worry about it.
