How Do You Usually Eat Your Mushrooms?

[Detrevni]

In light of the LSD thread, I was wondering how many of you consume your mushrooms? At a glance it seems like a one sided answer but there are actually a few common options. Do you...

A) Chew them up and suck on them sublingually before swallowing?
B) Just eat them like any other meal?
C) Put them in some other sort of food to mask the taste? (I.E. Pizza, PB&J, chocolate)
D) Mushy Tea

Personally I'll usually do the A method unless it's more than a couple of grams. I've tried D a few times and it feels very smooth but I worry about potency. And I've made a chocolate a couple of times too but I've never had to put it in something else cause the taste doesn't bother me. I guess my vote would be A. Mods if we get enough responses maybe we could make a poll?

The A method would make me instantly want to be sick - not a chance I could bear having them in my mouth for that long. Ick!
Whenever I do shrooms it seems to be a mixture of both C and D. I will put some in some food - probably noodles and then have a brew as well. Being a fussy eater, taking shrooms is so hard for me. I've had to sit crosslegged on the floor with a bowl of shrooms and a glass of water before, mentally prepare myself and slowly go through the bowl dropping them like pills. It's such a downside of takin mushies, but it's worth it, even if the taste makes me want to vom

Try chopping or grinding them up & soaking them in honey for a while - like weeks first - apparently it works wonderfully well - I'm just out of honey most of the time so haven't done it yet.

^^^^^
THAT.... is a gooooood idea

 

[The Chemist]

i like to make tea, that way i can relax and sip on it for a bit.

B9, nice idea will have to try that indeed.

Well it's been a long time but it was always A for me.

Chew the little fuckers up, dirt and grass and all and just wash down and swill with a beer. Spark up and spliff, sit back and wait for the show to start whilst picking dirt and stalks out of my teeth.

A... wash dem down with pepsi,I love that little ritual.That pepsi logo is like yin - yang :D

 

[Venrak]

I'll usually chew and suck on a couple grams at a time, for around 5-10 minutes a mouthful.

I have made the tea but found it to be less effective than a buccal/oral absorption.

 

[salsd]

just chew on like 2gs at a time or more depending on you and chew them well n have something to drink to get the taste out of ur mouth, perhaps o.j and enjoy the trip

E) Grind them up and parachute the powder.

The taste of mushrooms sets off my anxiety sense as soon as they make contact with my tastebuds. Heads me right into an anxious trip. I also like how parachuting the powder kicks in. It comes on much slower and smoothly. I peak around 1.5 hours and come down around 6 hours.

Tea is the worst, full taste and it kicks in before I'm even done the tea. Too much too fast.

i dig tea. i dont make mush i use a tea ball. the combined liquid of two small 10min steeps hits very quick with a clean comeup. you can mask it with any other beverage but i find black tea works well. i get no nausea at all. along with chocolates this is my favorite method.

 

[Detrevni]

^Nice PS. I knew I would forget some way to ingest these little buggars. That sounds like a good idea to try. Other than that i've ate them 'bout every way possible, i think.

 

[Zzyzx]

I chew them mixed with spicy chips that mask the taste really well, always on an empty stomach.

 

[ford442]

A is the only way to do it..

 

[love_sex_desire]

D is the only way I'll do it now. I can't stand eating mushrooms, so if I'm going to do mushrooms which is rather rare (I'd much rather eat acid any day), I make tea with a lot of sugar to mask the taste.

The come up is very fast when you make tea, but if you want the mushrooms to take a little longer to kick in, sip the tea over the course of 30 minutes to an hour.

 

[broagan]

i just eat them straight up, the taste doesn't bother me at all.

The last few times I have tripped, I put the mushies in a blender with orange juice, ice, and a very small amount of chocolate to make a tasty smoothie. In the future, I will likely grind them up in a coffee grinder and add the resulting powder to juice like I do with most every other psychedelic. The blender is a bit of a pain, because it didn't chop the shrooms up finely enough and I had to scrape out the container.

I used to grind them up and swallow the powder with a little water; I prefer this method over tea, because whenever I've made tea, I come up twice: once from the liquid, and again from the mushroom solids. I can't bear the thought of throwing out what is clearly active material, so I always eat the mushie mush.

I'll have to try parachuting. Does one just wrap them in a square of toilet paper and swallow that?

 

[greenmeanies]

TP probably is a bit too loose and fibrous to swallow easily, i'd try rice/hemp rolling paper. or gelcaps

best imo is fresh, sliced, on pizza

 

[Putingrad]

A slice of bread and a a couple tablespoons of peanut butter... it's a tradition for me.

 

[PepperSocks]

TP works great. I swallow hundreds of parachutes per year containing various things such as supplements and it works great; especially for large volumes of powder.

I'll have to try parachuting. Does one just wrap them in a square of toilet paper and swallow that?

Ya, dump you powder in the middle of the square, bring 2 opposing corners together, hold them, bring the other 2 opposing corners together (like holding an upside down parachute with your stuff in the middle and then twist all the ends together tightly.

Put some water in you mouth, put the parachute right in that spot in your mouth that's good for swallowing and gulp it down. It takes some practice no doubt. I can gulp down a massive 2g gram parachute now though. 2g of kava is a huge parachute but once you figure out how to do it it's a piece of cake.

Polled.
