Best way to consume shrooms ?

I think it's because of the low psilocin content in semilanceata. So long as you don't boil the shit out of it, it's fine. I never actually boil it, just steep them on the hob with a measured amount of water (slightly > than equal to the number of cups I'll be making for people). I usually stir for about 20 minutes on a lower heat then put the temperature up a wee bit to make it nice to drink in tea.

Actually, I think that the speed and sudden intensity of onset more than makes up for the small amout lost through decomposition.

Yeah, it always gives me quite violent shakes but it feels class once it eases into the trip.

The only other strain I've tried is cyanescens and I made tea with those too. I'd never prepared them in any other way though so I have nothing to compare it to. They have a much higher amount of psilocin that semilanceata but semilanceata have more baeocystin. This means nothing to me though as I've no idea about how stable baeocystin is, it's supposed to be roughly as potent of psilocybin.
 
We used to grind they into fine powder after drying the fuck out of them and then toss and wash done the job.

When I was a nipper we used to eat them as we picked them of the local golf course..... Good times:D

And significantly reduces the duration of the experience - handy for when you fancy necking a trip at last orders but still have to be up for work in the morning :-)

Talking of mushroom brews, I once 'boiled' up a pan of libs ready for a trip, but missed my window of opportunity. So rather than waste the brew, I strained it, let it cool then decanted into a few grolsch bottles I had knocking around. Nothing was sterilised and I just left them standing in the fridge door - for over a fuckin year! Cue one night after the pub; 'I know' sez I, 'I'll try that mushie juice'. Admittedly, I hesitated for probably two seconds while i considered if i was at any risk of seriously poisoning myself, but the ale quickly dissipated any concerns. After all, what harm could a stagnant mix of bacteria, fungus, dissolved cow shit and maggots possibly do? Man, i could have IMd that shit!

What followed was the single most intense hallucinatory and (thankfully) couchlocked trip of my life where I felt my entire body morph into a spaceship, pass through the hyperspace vortex and arrive in a universe with purple space, finally entering geostationary orbit above a virgin world with millions of other craft filling the skies. Then the supreme being spoke - relaying instructions for our colonisation of this planet while space pulsated in technicolor to HIS voice: "You will plant vineyards and you will drink the wine of them..." (Well I did have the Orb's 'adventures beyond the ultraworld' on repeat).

It was a totally mind blowing trip, but without even a hint of headfuckuppery. Who knows what weird alchemy took place in those bottles, but I'm certainly not willing to try and recreate it....
 
Few mates I run about with who are a good few years older once told me about making shroom tea. Didn't end well to cut a long story short. Lots of freaks outs with people running out of the house like people possessed. A few of them weren't "right" for quite some time. Probably over done it.

Mushrooms are weird as fuck. I've done acid more than I care to remember and in 400-500mic doses and never had a bad time on it but shrooms are a toss of a coin. I'd a really bad trip when I was around 18 and was ready for heading to casualty I was that fucking scared. Wasn't the last time either. I find shroom trips don't last half as long as acid though.
 
Funnily enough I always found the opposite - acid was more likely to give me a bad trip than mushrooms, possibly because of the increased duration of acid, but probably because I always used to underdose acid by being overly cautious. I've found with psychedelics and stimulants that having too little can often be quite dysphoric. Same with mushies as well, but as they're free then underdosing Is very rarely an issue.
 
^^^ Agreed about low dose psychs. They make me feel weird as fuck. The short duration of mushrooms has been my saving grace on more that one occasion. Its mad how one minute your fucked and then like a snap of the fingers your at base line again. A bad acid trip could be problematic I I suppose as your in it for the long haul.

I could all be in my head I suppose from experience. I haven't done mushrooms in over 20 years and the bad trips still stick with me. I ate a strip of 10 acid (all be it weak not that I knew at the time) not long a go and didn't in the slightest get freaked out at any point.
