If they were lookin fine before you froze them, they are fine now.

Mushrooms just turn to MUSH when you freeze/thaw them. Nothing is wrong with them though...

Do you really want to toss them?
Didn't think so. Dry them (asap/now). By the way, the freezing of raw mushrooms could have caused a loss in potency. Though that could merely be a myth.

Wait till you are in the right mindset. ie. confident you will have a good trip(remember there is really no such thing as a 'bad trip'. There is always something to be learned)

Go on, give them a try.
Or....If you are not so sure, take low doses, don't expect a full trip, and enjoy the subtleties of psilocybin. (i'm sure I'll have some naysayers on that one)
Like I've mentioned before, I've mixed low doses(just below threshold level) with (pseudo)ephedrine and had very interesting results that lasted about two hours. Very amphetamine like. very mental, energetic, positive. Obviously nothing visual.
Don't always expect huge results and build up the experience. Try what I said and go for a long walk, or sit down and do some writing or drawing. Thats a combo that I've enjoyed many figure drawing classes on.

I'd be curious as to how it goes for you.

You're STILL going on about those damned shrooms? JFC!
This is getting to be a running joke.

It's time to find a new hobby before you kill yourself.

yeah i've heard frezing destroys potency of mushrooms, although when I used to make Tea out of subbs i'd store it in the freezer for quite a while without any noticeable loss of potency

What the hell are you talking about?

I've already done something stupid which fucked my shrooms up, I'm trying not to do it again.

I'm trying to get all the information I need so I don't do something irresponsible. I'm getting conflicting answers so I'm getting confused.

My last question is, how long will it take to dry them with a fan? And can I just semi-dry them (since I'm planning on having them tommorow), cut them up really finely and put them in tea?

Well, I don't think I'm going to risk it - especially considering that I'll only have 5 hours or so to put them infront of a fan to dry them.

I'm really upset, but whatever - I'll probably just take some DXM instead.

Honestly I would just eat them. Unless they're moldy, there's nothing wrong with them at all. Just keep them frozen until you plan on eating them. As soon as you thaw them, they will probably turn to goo. Don't worry about all the nay-saying, some people are just picky.

After reading your other post it looks like you've had those for some time. You cant keep fresh mushrooms for very long, especially them going from a warm place to a cold to a frozen one. Your best option to take those is thaw them in the fridge, the get some everclear and do an extraction. That way you kill the bacteria. Good luck man.

Dude throw them in a blender with some lemon juice and orange juice and a bit of ice cream and make a smoothy if there still frozen. It tasts good one of my dumbass friends froze a bunch of azules because he did not lisen to me and use a fan to dry them so we did this with them. It was good and quite a nise trip.

If you thaw them they will turn to naste mush.

Nothing wrong with frozen fresh shrooms.

So many ridiculous responses.

If they were fine before you froze them then they are fine now.

Id make a tea.

The hospital?
I dont think so.

Lots of bad advise givers here apparently.

If they were good before you froze them then they are just fine now, even though they look sort of ugly.

If you are eating them within 24 hours, just keep them how they are and make tea.
Dry them?
No.

You want to eat them, so make tea.
Drying will do you no good in any way.

Its safe, as long as they were good cubes to begin with.

Thats why you boil them no matter what problem you have with how they look after you froze them.

Its all good.

Tea 'em or quaff 'em. No worries, just fun.

In the future, make a better effort in storage.

Does anyone know if freezing them really does cause potency loss? Typically chemicals break down slower in the cold.

No , the chemicals have their desired temp.

Frozen is not going to fuck up the potency.

If you freeze them and then thaw them and then dry them, you will know that this sort of bullshit will fuck with potency for obvious reasons.

word to that shiz

Are you saying that freezing them doesnt cause potency loss, but thawing them does?

if your really set on it, I personally would definitely not eat them, but an alcohol extraction I see no problem with. I can't see any dangerous bacteria living through that and your sure to trip still.
