Mushroom tea potency?

[user_1919]

Hello all,

I am planning on consuming 5 grams of cubensis mushrooms, and doing so alone. This will be my first lone trip on a high dose, and I am looking foward to it. I was wondering if I were to soak the mushroom in warm water until the water got cold, and than drained the mushrooms out, and just consumed the tea only, how much potency would I loose from the mushrooms? What would it be compared to? Would it be a drastic amount of lose, like would it be compareable to a 4 gram trip?Or barley noticable?

Thanks, PEACE

I don't know about the loss of potency in numbers...
But just play safe, grind the dried mushrooms to powder and soak this in the water, filter with coffee filter or drink the whole thing...

I've never done this but this is how i plan my next trip...

Good luck and have a nice trip :wink:

Thanks Meduzz. I think I'm going to grind it to a powder, stir it into the water, let sit for 30 minutes or so, and drink the entire cup of water+mushroom powder. Now if I were to use an electric grinder, would it get to hot inside, as possibly loose some potency of the mushrooms? Or is it not that sensitive....

Thanks,PEACE

I learned this from heartcore: 1: I grind the mushrooms as small as possible.
2: Mix it in a teabag with tea.
3: boil one cup of water and throw it over the shrooms and let it cool for 15 minutes and sometimes you stirr
4: boil new water and do the same again
5: add the two cups together and drink it

You always have some loss in potency but if you use 5 gram you still can expect a heavy trip because of the faster absorption the peak will be higher.

I always eat the shroom pieces as well when I drink tea. I don't like to grind the shrooms to dust because 5-6g of shrooms is a lot of material, and eating it in little pieces while drinking the tea is ok - if it's dusted then you'll have a big lump of slimy stuff in the cup that is nasty to eat.

This is what I do:

1. Cut up the mushrooms with a knife.
2. Fill a cup with water and empty it in a small pot.
3. Put the cut up mushrooms in it.
4. Heat till it cooks, then put the fire low and let it stir for 20 minutes with a lid on the pot.
5. Pour the water into the cup through a sieve.

Now you can add a bag of tea and some honey, or or just drink it as it is. You can also use the water to prepare instant soup.

For me, this has worked very well. I have on some occasions also eaten the residue, but I have noticed no difference with the times I didn't. All the good stuff should be in the water after 20 minutes.

Btw, I don't know if it is necessary to cut up the mushrooms, maybe it works just as well when throwing the complete shrooms into the water, but I was thinking that cutting up the shrooms helps to get all the goods out and I think a lot of people on the internet say something like 'grind' and 'cut', so...

With mushrooms that are bone dry, and then stored in the freezer, they will turn to dust by just breaking them up in the bag because they are so brittle.

I think that's the best way to store them for a long time (as dry as possible and air tight in freezer.) That way you won't need a grinder if you do choose to make them very small.

I'd guess that even if they aren't completely dry, if they are frozen cold enough they will break up pretty small by crushing them in the bag. If you use your hands to crush them in the bag, they will heat up, and not be as brittle, so I'd use some blunt object.

The reason that people make tea is that its purer , cleaner and comes on faster and more like the pure chemical and so as not to have the bulk in their stomachs . There is no point in mixing dryed mushrooms with cold water , it just makes them slimy and more disgusting to swallow . The lab methods i have found for extracting psilocybin with hot water that mention a temperature all say it should be 70c . First powder them because the bigger surface area they have the better and faster they can be extracted . A grinder of some sort is the best . The heat it generates will not harm it . Then cover it with the hot
water for a few minutes and strain it off . Then do that again and throw the mushrooms away . Dont wory there will be next to no Psilocybin in them . If you are going to eat the rest after making a tee you might as well not bother and just swallow the powder and wash it down with a cup of cold water .
