People who really dislike the taste and texture come up with recipes for everything from smoothies to chili, although cooking the mushrooms for long periods of time will likely break down the psilocybin and result in a weaker psychotropic effect [source: TripSafe ]. Magic mushrooms don't actually have to be eaten to feel their effects. They can be brewed into a mushroom tea by grinding them, steeping them in hot water and straining the resulting liquid. Proponents of this method claim that this has no impact on the intensity of the trip.
Since alcohol and magic mushrooms are often used together, sometimes the mushrooms are soaked in rum or tequila and the liquid used in mixed drinks or simply drunk. People who have tripped on mushroom tea or extract say that they begin to feel the effects quicker than if they simply ate the mushroom.
Finally, sometimes the dried mushrooms are ground and packed into gelatin capsules to create mushroom pills. This way, the taste and texture are avoided completely. Most people simply buy their magic mushrooms. As mentioned above, picking them in the wild is an option.
However, some enterprising magic mushroom lovers cultivate their own at home. A typical mushroom trip will last between four to six hours from the time mushrooms are first ingested, to the moment when the altered state has effectively worn off.
After the effects begin, a slow climb will follow and peak effects are expected between two to four hours after intake. The effect will start to dissipate after the peak, and you can expect to be back to normal after about six hours.
Although the effect might have worn off, you might still feel lightheaded, tired, or overly sensitive to stimuli. We recommend you find a time when you can take the rest of the day off to integrate the experience. Also, make sure you can have at least 8 hours of sleep the night after the experience, in order to fully recover. Psilocybe Cubensis has universally become the most propagated species of magic mushrooms out there, because of how easy they are to grow.
However, there are over species of psilocybin-producing mushrooms in nature. Different species will carry different levels of psilocybin, which means that the same amount of mushrooms could have vastly diverse amounts of psychedelic ingredients, leading to very different strengths. Levels of psilocybin can also vary between strains of the same species.
As with any naturally-sourced medicine, the concentration of active ingredients can also vary between different parts of the fungi. The cap could hold more psilocybin than the stem and vice versa.
This all means that measuring a dose of mushrooms is not an exact science. However, some guidelines can be followed, based on suggested amounts of dried Psilocybe Cubensis. Your mushrooms will come in two possible variants: fresh or dried. The best way to measure a dose of mushrooms is to use a scale. Being under the effect of shrooms is a very strange new experience, which can be overwhelming at first. We recommend you begin with a low dose no more than 1.
If you must eat something before your trip, try to have it be a light and easily-digestible meal like a salad or some fruit. Any kind of smoothie or juice will do the trick.
If your mushrooms are dried, just grind them as much as you can and mix them in with the drink.
