I'd make tea. That tastes rank enough, but a damn sight easier to get down than the fresh. Hits faster too.
Difficult to say how many you should take, as potency is very variable, as can be the character of the trip produced in my experience. How much experience do you have with other types of mushrooms, or psyches in general? Think it wise to start with 30-50, assuming they're average sized small caps, keeping to the lower end of that range if you've not had much in the way of previous experience. That might be really quite mild, and you'll want to do more next time, or it may be ((( more than ))) plenty if they're unusually strong, and properly intense. I find of all the mushrooms I've tried Liberty Caps in particular can be quite hectic on the come up over the first hour or so before settling down. What you don't wanna do is just go out whole hog heroic and do 100 odd in until you've determined how potent they are, and how they affect you.
