Can you put fresh mushrooms in home-made wine?

I have a batch of wine that would be ready soon, Would it be possible to put some fresh mushrooms in the bottoms of the bottles before I fill them up? Would the alcohol keep them from going bad?

I'm not too sure about it keeping them from going bad.. but it might make the wine a little psychoactive.. I'm not too sure how strong wine is, but I know you can extract the alkaloids from the shroomies with high proof alcohol.
You can dry the shrooms, and they'll stay good for quite some time.
Or put the fresh shroomies in some honey to make blue honey?

They would dissolve and psychoactive ingredients would be contained in the wine.
A good way to preserve is to dry and powder the shrooms then put them in honey.
If you search theres a tek which explains more...

It's not that I want to preserve the shrooms, I would like to have a couple "special" bottles of wine. Plus if it would work it would look pretty good.

It would work.. I'm not sure on the ratio's you'd need to use or anything That would be the tricky part Maybe putting a lot of shroomies in a bottle of wine that way a glass would be a dose?
like i said, the ratios would be tricky but it could work!
good luck and let us know how it goes for ya!

Theres 3 decent glasses per bottle,
So if you add 6 grams thats 2 grams each.
Depends on your preference but personally I find shrooms and booze don't mix!

If you do it, you should make it really potent, so you don't have to drink much wine to get a notceable effect. Maybe even like half a glass is a dose...
I usually am in agreement about shrooms not going well with alcohol, but I think small amounts of good wine or beer could mix well with a trip. Definetely let us know how it goes.
