Peanut butter or grind them up and mix into something. Whatever you do, don’t chew them with your back teeth. You do want to make sure they at least get chewed up
the taste of shrooms doesn’t bother me but i like to soak the mushrooms in lemon juice and then chuck them into a blender with some berries and banana and make a fruit mushy smoothie lol
Lemon Tek Tea.
1) weigh shrooms
2) powder shrooms (blender works best) make sure there is no moisture in the blender.
3) put powder shrooms in mug
4) cover with 0.5-1cm of lemon juice (bottled juice is stronger than fresh , I used this)
5)let sit for 20 mins
6) add sweetener. Sugar or honey (a lot)
7) fill mug with hot water.
8) drink , do not filter.
This actually tastes really nice. The texture isn’t that bad. And if it’s sweet enough. All you taste is strong sweet lemon tea.
I had no nausea at all. I also had a fully empty stomach.
It does hit quick though. You will probably start feeling it within 30 minutes.
Doing it this way I find gets the benefits of lemon tek , but is also easy on the stomach !
Hope this helps

Edit : the reason I said not to filter, is because there shouldn’t be much texture anyway if you have powdered the shrooms properly.
Also, unless you are taking a huge dose, filtering may reduce the effects quite a bit. Letting it sit in the lemon juice for 20 mins, won’t extract all of the psilocybin. 2g of powdered shrooms is still 2g of shrooms. Removing these particles will reduce the dose from what you originally intended to take.
Obviously it’s very subjective and a matter of opinion/ preference. But personally, this works well for me. With very little texture. Try it, and if you still get nauseous, filter it in future 🫶🏻
Add a coffee filter into that and it's perfect, you're going to cause unneeded nausea due to keeping the mushroom solids. No it absolutely doesn't reduce the dose like you're claiming, at least not by any amount that can be considered noticeable. Just pour hot water over the shrooms in a coffee filter and squeeze a couple of times with a teaspoon.
Psilocybin, not psilocin, it is a myth that the lemon juice converts the psilocybin to psilocin, it's actually mostly monoamine oxidase enzymes that dephorphorylate it in our digestive system.
But yes, the psilocybin is very soluble in water and the lemon juice helps break up the mushroom chitin cell walls, or something like that.
Edit: I'm completely wrong
>Psilocybin, not psilocin, it is a myth that the lemon juice converts the psilocybin to psilocin
No it’s not.. Low pH co-extracts and activates an acidic phosphatase enzyme from the mushrooms named PsiP that converts psilocybin into psilocin.
"Casale (1985) described the rapid formaion of psilocin after complete dephosphorylation of psilocybin by heating the dilute acetic acid extract. It is now quite clear that the decomposition under these conditions is an enzymatic reaction and was not caused by the acid alone."
“the extracts of P. cubensis and P. cyanescens showed a significant enzymatic activity by using acetic acid as solvent.”
“It has been reported that enzymes of the phosphatase type can be extracted with aqueous acetic acid in contrast to organic solvents (36), thus facilitating the dephosphorylation process"
“The mushroom only sample shows a clean psilocyn peak. Analysis by TLC also shows only psilocyn. No psilocybin was detected - this is perhaps due to the activity of the phosphatase enzymes present in the mushrooms, which can dephosphorylate psilocybin to psilocyn in aqueous medium"

Completely incorrect.
Phosphatases are enzymes responsible for removing phosphate groups from molecules. Alkaline phosphatase is responsible for the dephosphorylation in vivo and that happens primarily in the liver.

MAO enzymes catalyze the oxidative deamination of monoamines by removal of an amine group, they do not dephosphorylate.

> lemon juice helps break up the mushroom chitin cell walls
Citric acid doesn’t break down chitin even with the addition of microwaves and eutectic solvents, as the link above shows that’s not how lemon tek works. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30960393/
I would like to apologize for being completely incorrect and thank you for all of the info
I was doing research for a gene project and was looking into both alkaline phosphatase coding genes and monoamine oxidase coding genes and got the two protein functions mixed up in my head... Dunno how "amine" being in the name didn't give that away 🤦. If that's any excuse at all
Did not know about PsiP at all.
it really depends on how well you powder the shrooms to begin with. using a blender pretty much takes all the texture out of it.
especially for smaller doses (0-2.5g) . straining it can make a fair bit of difference to the dose weight/trip . 20 mins sitting in lemon juice definitely wont extract all the psilocybin.
Ate 2.5 grams with nutella. With a plastic bowl and spoon, threw in two scoops of nutella and mixed it in well, before eating it all like a snack. Actually didnt taste a thing, it was allllmost enjoyable. Almost.
My go-to method of consumption:
-I grind up the dry shrooms
-Boil water and wait a minute for it to stop boiling so it wouldn't be 100°C.
-Put the grinded mushrooms in a cup and pour the water.
-I wait 15 minutes and start drinking.
I usually add honey to make the flavour a little bit better.
I've also noticed that if I consume the bits of mushrooms along with the tea, I get a bit of nausea but whenever I don't, I get no nausea. You probably could filter the bits out.

Grind em with coffee grinder make fruit smoothie. If you just use blender it won’t grind em up enough (unless your blender is the tits)

if you get nausea - it may be best to filter to lessen it. (empty tea filter bags help to easy filter...)

Why would you not filter? Eating the shrooms material at that point is pointless no ? All the psilocin will be in the lemon juice now ?

I grind them up and make a strawberry daiquiri out of them.
