Making Shroom Capsules!

I wanted to share my recent experiment:
I decided to make mushroom capsules, which means the material is bone dry, sliced into a powder, and then sealed into capsules which I store in the freezer.
The advantages of storing mushrooms this way include assurance that our mushrooms don't go bad, and that they will stay potent and fresh in powder form in the freezer for years. They are also a lot friendlier to consume, and will digest much more rapidly, giving a shorter lived, but much more intense high per gram.
I used http://cgi.ebay.ca/cap-m-quick-pill-filler-maker-450-empty-capsule-tamp00_W0QQitemZ320187033611QQihZ011QQcategoryZ101965QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem The Cap-M-Quick capsule maker. Quick, easy, fills 50 capsules at once, and I was able to easily pack .5 Grams into each capsule (Size 0 is the big size) You get 1000 empty caps, the tamper to pack the powder down, and the device itself is very easy to use.
I air dried my mushrooms, put them in the fridge until they were crispy dry, then tossed em into my magic bullet blender(chop blade). Just measure the mushrooms you want to cap, then blend and fill. Easy accurate way to store and retain potency for all your hard grown shrooms!

This isn't really cultivation, but yes - this is a very good idea. There are a couple of teks I have seen for this in the past.
The great part about this is that you don't have to deal with the nasty taste every time you dose - all you have to contend with is the smell of the shroom powder dust when you grind it all up.

Capsules are my fav way of consuming.
Tasteless (except for burps later on) and hits you so fast and hard.

I have made several thread about this, there's so many good reason to use them. THe best way is to loosen the small cap so it opens easier in your stomach.
5 grams in a 0 capsule are you crazy? Most people use 00 (that are bigger than 0) and can fit .5 if you smash it in there which isn't the best idea because it's harder to digest. They have 000 capsules now though. They would probably be hard to swallow.
The best thing about capsules is that you don't get the whole body load from eating them, I don't really enjoy most of the physical feelings it gives you when you eat a lot. A few days ago I dosed 5 grams in 15 00 capsules and it was great, no nausea at all and the body high wasn't overwhelming.

Sillicybin: When I grind the mushrooms in my magic bullet, I just wait a few moments for the powder to settle, then gently scoop it out and pour it over the Cap-M-Quick device. I wear a mask too, but it's pretty clean and tidy.
F1234K: Yeah I agree, the most obvious reason is that our stomachs take far longer to digest raw mushroom material, compared to a fine powder. The more acid that can get into and around what we eat, the faster it digests. I believe in this particular case, on an empty stomach these pills hit you in 10 minutes, peak is 45 mins to 1 hour later.
Caribou_Lou: Hrm, for some reason I saw a diagram showing 0 as the biggest size, same as batteries, AA is bigger than AAA...I'll verify that though. No way to pack 5 grams in to 1 capsule, I said .5 or 1/2 a gram  I agree though, the high is much easier, it's less drawn out, less of a "burn out" and no nausea caused by the breaking down of the mushrooms. About the capsules that came with the Cap-M-Quick, I tested one by putting it into warm water, it completely disolved in 1.5 minutes. It's like releasing a flat even bed of powder compared to a single lump in the corner

You were right Caribou_Lou, 000 is the biggest and so forth, I'm not sure how I mixed that up :P
Nevertheless, they are perfect half gram doses in the size 0
