I read in the FAQ on erowid that chewing on mushrooms for 10 minutes before you swallow them decreases the amount of time it takes for them to take effect.

This sounds somewhat dubious because I thought mushrooms were absorbed by your digestive system; why would chewing on them for 10 minutes have any effect on that? Also, I've heard that they taste pretty bad, so it might be rather unpleasant to chew on them for 10 minutes.

What are your experiences? Either way, how long does it usually take for the trip to begin?
 
The active compunds are also absorbed through your mucus menbrane since they are water soulble so chewing them will add to a quicker onset. With my experience it defently works alot better. I personly love the taste of mushrooms but if you dont you could just grind them up in some juice and swoosh it around.
 
anything you chew more breaks down more quickly/is absorbed by your digestive tract, also makes you less tired if you chew more because your inners have to WORK LESS
 
seems like 10 minutes is overkill but anything you chew more kicks in faster. some people think they taste/smell gross but I dont really mind the taste, keep in mind youre eating something that grew on shit so its not gonna taste amazing. If I was you I wouldnt worry about it and chew them normal shouldnt take more then an hour before you feel atleast a little and could be much faster depending on how much mushrooms you eat and how much you have in your stomach already
 
I just grind them up a put it on my pizza .

1) gets rid of the taste
2) hits you faster
3) grinding/crushing the shrooms and sprinkiling it on the pizza (looks lime pepper !!) saves u from chewing and tasting these disgusting things.
 
I ate shrooms a few day ago and ate them plain with no drink or anything. The taste is definitely not bad. There are many other ways of getting high that taste much worse. I chewed on them pretty well for a good 30 seconds to increase surface area and absorption rate. Chewing them for 10 minutes wont do anything more than 30 seconds of good mastication. The texture is such that they kinda just turn into mush after a few chews. Kicked in about 25 minutes later and came on steadily for about an hour and a half and peaked for around 2 hours. Try them. Theyre fun.
 
Mushroom tea makes a more pleasant alternative to chewing for 10 minutes, I think. Virtually eliminates the gut rot, it hits you faster, and no nasty taste (if you make it like strong cocoa, you really can't taste them at all). BONUS: no picking bits of mushroom out of your teeth hours later while you're tripping.
 
i suppose and put forward that it makes the chitin easier to digest
well thats indigestible
 
Since reading on erowid and stories about Maria Sabina. I now chew fully and hold them in my mouth until I possibly can, personally I dont mind the taste.
The only problem is when you have cottonmouth it gets kinda foamy in your mouth, so ill hold it as long as possibly then follow with a piece of chocolate and a citrusy beverage (takes care of after taste).
This last thursday I started off with about a gram at five (right after work), took a shower ran some errands, could feel them about half an hour in. Came back home ate a light meal with the familia (had to play off being sober), then about 9:30-10 I started back at munching away (est. ~2-2.5 g's). Perfect timing once the familia went to sleep it all started coming together. Started coming down about 2:30 -3:00, asleep by 4 or so.
