Mushroom Tea: A Convenient way to Consume Psychedelic Mussels
The mushroom tea can be made from either dried psilocybin fungi or culinary varieties.
As first-time users, it is advised that they start with a low dose, such as 1 gram of dried shrooms. This should result in an invigorating feeling without noticeable changes to the vision, sound or way that one thinks and speaks.
Benefits
Mussel tea consists of either edible (such as Shiitake) or medicinal, psychedelic or medicinal mushroom varieties. After boiling for approximately 30 minutes to extract the flavors, strain and pour into drinking cups to extract flavors before drinking from. Before using, it is important that all equipment be sterilized to protect against unwanted bacteria or wild yeast contamination.
Be careful when buying mushrooms on Craigslist.com or Facebook Marketplace. Or from strangers who have not been introduced. Consult with a mushroom expert prior to foraging for mushrooms in nature.
Once you’ve chosen the shroom strain that you want to consume, you can mark your calendar on a weekend and select a precise dose time. The effects will typically start between 10am-1130am. The peak effect is between 1130am-12noon lasting for about two hours.
Ingredients
Mushroom tea is an infusion of edible and psychedelic mushrooms in hot water. You can use fresh or dried mushrooms to get the pharmacological effect without overdoing. You can also add dried ginger root to relieve nausea. This is due to the phytochemicals, gingerol and shogaol, which interact with serotonergic (5-HT receptors) and cholinergic (M) receptors in your mind.
Preparation
mushroom Tea offers a simple and effective way to consume the psychoactive effects of mushrooms. This preparation method involves boiling water with powdered psilocybin-containing mushrooms mixed in. Citric acid in the water extracts the psilocin while protecting it against oxidation.
To avoid the growth of harmful yeast and bacteria, it’s important that all equipment is thoroughly sterilized before making Mushroom Tea. It is also necessary that water temperatures reach 212deg F in order to dissolve psilocybin, though individual samples will contain different levels depending on their mushroom type and growing conditions.
Mushroom tea is an easy and quick way to consume magic mushrooms, and there are multiple preparation methods that you can use such as Lemon Tek. Lemon Tek involves soaking dried mushrooms in lemon juice and grinding them into powder. Many anecdotal accounts claim that this method is effective in reducing any symptoms of mushroom use such as nausea.
One man was arrested for illegal possession after he picked and frozen magic mushrooms. He was found responsible for the possession of magic mushrooms because they had been “prepared,” despite the fact that harvesting and freezing the mushrooms did not constitute preparation. According to the court, preparation is any process that transforms their natural state into a drug-ingestion-friendly form.
Storage
Mushrooms should be used that are fresh, mature, and free of any signs or debris. Resting them in a bag or jar for a period of time before storage is important to avoid contamination by microorganisms. Also, keep the temperature constant – mycelium produces heat!
Pour the tea, in a large pot that has enough room to bring all contents to a rolling boiling point, add a small amount (1-2 ozs) of water. Add the mushroom packets. Bring to a boil on high heat and stir/mash at the same time. This should take about 10 minutes. Next, add the citric acid. Usually 1-2% of shrooms by weight is sufficient. I added 9gms/450gms. This allows for more concentrated psilocin while decreasing the chances of oxidation which would produce blue-tinged products that would diminish its potency. I added 9gms/450 gms).
