My girl friend wants to try shrooms but she is allergic to the point of her throat swells up, and it becomes hard to breath. Are magic mushrooms diff. Does the drying of them take away the allergic reaction.

I wouldn't risk it since it sounds like she may be somewhat hyper-allergic (or whatever), that would make for a really really bad trip. I'd look for LSD rather.

I agree, even though LSD is a different kind of trip it is still a counter part of shrooms.

Take a piece of a fresh cube, and tell her to put the piece between her forearm and bicep. Let this sit for 20 minutes. You should(n't) notice a reaction if she is(n't) allergic to magic mushrooms.
Even still, if she passes the epidermal allergy test, she could hold a tiny piece in her mouth.
If nothing appears, take one more caution. She could ingest a tiny amount, .25g. Wait several hours.
If she's OK on all three, then I'd say it's fairly safe for her to consume them.

Would shoving them up you GI tract be able to avoid it all together? Otherwise grylls advice is definitely the way to go.

I'd say extract. I have a friend who is allergic to mushrooms, and she told me that she did research on it. Supposedly, it isn't safe to eat any kinds of mushrooms if you're allergic. I've never checked up on it, but that's what I've heard. I'd suggest doing a google/wikipedia double search to see what turns up before giving her shrooms. Having trouble breathing can very easily lead to a bad trip.

If it's that important for your friend to try shrooms, just do an extraction.

I have not tried this method; it is taken from the classic volume (in French) and based on that used by Albert Hofmann.
Le Genre Panaeolus: Essai taxinomique et physiologique par Gyorgy Miklos OLA'H Laboratoire De Cryptogamie du Museum National D'histoire Naturelle 12, rue de Buffon, Paris. Memoire hors-series No 10, 1970. Page 97.
1. Dry the mushrooms. * This important step is most likely to cause the greatest loss of yield depending on how it is done. Crush or grind the dried carpophores or mycelium to a powder. 2. Shake and allow to stand (e.g. 30 mins) in chloroform. Use maybe twice the dry weight in solvents at every step, or enough to well cover the powder. 3. Filter and discard the chloroform. 4. Shake the reidue and allow to stand with acetone. 5. Filter and discard the acetone. 6. Shake residue and allow to stand with methanol. 7. Filter. 8. Shake residue and allow to stand with methanol. 9. Filter. 10. Shake residue and allow to stand with methanol. 11. Filter. 12. Discard residue. 13. Combine methanol extracts. 14. Evaporate methanol to dryness, preferably in a vacuum, although low heat will do.
This will yield a crude extract containing the active tryptamines, suitable for most purposes. This can be further chromatographed on cellulose etc. to give pure psilocin and psilocybin. The recommended solvents are n-Butanol saturated with water, and n-butanol:acetic acid:water (24:10:10).

Be careful of doses of extract id imagine it to be majorly potent!
Could tea maybe be the solution? Im sure if you boil water it must kill alot of the fungus that must be the culprit in her allergy?
Whatever happens have some of her anithistamine or whatever her medication is for those scenarios, otherwise youll both have the worst trips of your lives.
