    it tastes soooo fuckin gross!

    it was the second time we were gonna do shrooms when my friend said that her friend said something about making shroom tea. so we decided to try it that day.. so my friend boils some water.. puts it in coffee cups, then puts shrooms in there.. we stir it around a bit.. blahb alhb ablhh.. wait a while..

    apparently it tastes much better than just eating it.

    i tell ya.. i ate it.. i was like.. wow. thats just AWFUL!. i couldnt even swallow it.. it was so gross.. it was chewy, it was gummy, i dont know. wtf.. i prefer it dry... and on top of that.. i had a terrible, and scary trip :(

    .. my cellphone was also stolen earlier that day too.. so. uhh maybe that didn't help..

    i like it a lot. i eat the mushrooms out of it too. it's especially good in chai... but yeah i can even eat the mushrooms out of the bottom of it when they've gotten cold if i don't feel like i've gotten high enough. i don't know what's wrong with me :D

    wait a minute you just put the mushies in hot water with no actual tea? that was the problem... make actual flavorful tea next time

    oh and you don't really have to eat the mushrooms to get a light trip this way, you can just drink the tea

    Yeah, you forgot the main ingredient... Tea. Havnt tried it myself, but my friend says with just about any tea, a bit of surgar and some mush its a very good tea.

    totally. mushroom tea without any tea or herbal tea will taste just like mushrooms. i tend to brew mine dilute on the mushroom side and normal strength on the tea side. four cups per dose. this makes the flavor almost perfectly masked. some earl grey or chai with a decent amount of honey....only a slight shroomy underflavor, really innoffensive. i love it. definitely do it this way next time, and you dont need to eat the mushrooms after. break them up as good as you can before steeping, and let it steep a good 20 minutes. then strain off the solid parts and drink it. only steep the tea for the normal time though, 1-5 minutes. otherwise it will get too bitter.

    Yeah, the whole point of the tea is so that you don't have to eat the mushrooms, so why eat them from the tea? You won't be losing anything because the solid bits are impotent afterwards if the tea is made correctly. I made some tea once and let my friend eat the steeped mushrooms, and they had no effect on him whatsoever.

    I felt like I should note that I've felt a minor potency loss when I trip with tea. Still, I usually go for tea these days because I can't stand that nasty taste/texture anymore (GI discomfort too). I also like the effects that tea brings. It gives a lighter body load and a shorter trip.

    id like to point out that shrooms really arent considered a delicacy and most people eat them as fast as possible. i have tried the tea thing, id rather wolf them down on a piece of pizza myself.

    Personally, I prefer to roll them up into compacted little balls and just swallow them whole. I wouldn't say that the tea reduces the potency, but it definitely changes the duration of the effects and hastens the onset. For me, it becomes intense quickly but fades just as fast.

    I like to grind my shrooms, and toss em in the pot to simmer while I throw lots of prayer and good thoughts on the tea, after slow simmering for about an hour and cook it down real thick, starin and rinse the mush matter with the tea through cheese cloth a couple times and slosh it down with a little water. i like to have as little fluid as possible, and I dont like fucking with the janky mushroom taste it's part of the fucking experiance, it's like the traffic on a normal "trip" gotta deal with it before you get up the mountain.

    Oh man, you're missing out. I've made tea that has actually tasted good enough to drink if it were not a drug while still being potent.

    yeah man, I know what you mean, it's just i think I liked the purge of the aya too much. sometimes i found if they aren't perfectly bone dry they taste funkyer, I was shocked at how nasty those cyans were, cyan tea will knock your socks off.

    Well, even though the tea I make tastes good, it still makes me puke regardless. I've never puked just eating them.

    A friend of a friend of somebody I met just received his pan cyan spores and is awaiting an order of rye grass seed, so I'll get to try some out in the near future if all goes well.

    That's what I've heard, too. They fruit at a higher temperature than cubensis, so maybe some type of heating apparatus would be in line.
