Consuming Psilocybin Mushrooms

Mega Psychedelic have broken down six different ways you can take magic mushrooms. Learn how each method can influence your psychedelic trip and see which works best for you.

1. Mushroom Chocolates and Sweets

One popular (and tasty) way to eat mushrooms is mushroom chocolate edibles. This was actually an ancient practice from the Mesoamerican rituals and ceremonies. The mushrooms were either cooked with chocolate or eaten first and then follow by a chocolate drink.

Chocolate helps heighten the effects of the mushrooms and mask the mushroom’s flavor, which tends to be a bit strong and earthy.

You can also make mushroom hot chocolate, magic mushroom chocolate bars, and even mushroom brownies.

2. Mushroom Tea

For those with a sensitive stomach or who find it hard to digest fungi, mushroom tea can be a great option. Drinking mushroom tea offers quicker psychedelic effects while also preventing stomach churns.

Grinding up the mushrooms into a fine powder before steeping increases the mushroom’s surface area. Your gastrointestinal system absorbs more of the substance quickly, and you don’t lose any psilocybin that might occur when the stomach is breaking down full pieces of mushroom.

Because the onset is quicker, the overall journey tends to be shorter as well.

You can brew your mushrooms with popular herbal, functional mushroom powders, or decaffeinated tea blends, and then complete your drink with honey, lemon, milk, or other flavors.

3. Lemon Tekking

Lemon tekking is a method of soaking dried, ground psilocybin mushrooms in lemon or lime juice before eating them. The juice of oranges or pineapples won’t work as well since their pH in the 3.2-4.3 range exceeds that of stomach acid (which tops out at around 3.5).

The citric acids cause a chemical reaction that breaks down and partially digests the dried shrooms for you, resulting in a shorter but more pronounced psychedelic experience once ingested. It can reduce the onset of the mushroom trip from one to two hours to just minutes an empty stomach.

The effects of the mushrooms are usually much more potent than if taken without the tekking process, with some users claiming a trip to be two to three times stronger. 6 ways in Consuming Psilocybin Mushrooms

That said, due to the increased potency of the lemon tekking method, this practice is not ideal for those wanting to microdose. However, lemon tekking is perfect for medium- to high-level-dose journeys.

There are multiple benefits when using the lemon tekking method, such as:

• Less nausea
• Faster effects
• Stronger experience
• Less tired during and after the trip

4. Psilocybin-infused Meals

This method is similar to cooking with regular mushrooms–but instead you’re using magic mushrooms. A psilocybin-infused meal might include a pasta topped with magic mushroom truffle or pesto or a slice of shroom pizza.

By cooking magic mushrooms, you can reduce the mushroom taste and prevent the feeling of nausea. It can also be a gentler trip experience and an approachable way to microdose.

In order to cook psilocybin mushrooms without losing their effects, you’ll want to cook your food at a lower temperature than normal. Mushrooms break down in extremely hot temperatures, or at 160 degrees Fahrenheit and above.

5. Juices & Smoothies

Smoothies and juices are another delicious and easy way to consume magic mushrooms. You can add other ingredients like fruits and vegetables to mask the taste of the magic mushrooms. This method also makes it easier for the body to absorb the mushrooms because they’re already partially broken down before consumption.

6. Mushroom Capsules

To consume mushroom capsules for sale, you need to grind dried mushrooms with a small food processor or coffee grinder. A spice grinder is also great for making fine powders. Once you’ve made your powder, you can measure out the mushrooms on a microscale and put them in empty pill capsules.

There are pill capsule machines that can do this for you. Or, you can order pill capsules online, break them open, and add in the determined amount of dried mushrooms.

Since capsules generally can’t hold too many mushrooms, this can be a good method for microdosing. In this video, you’ll get a clear, step-by-step demonstration on how to best prepare psilocybin mushrooms with mushroom capsule for microdosing.

You can also add extra adaptogens or non-psychedelic mushrooms to each capsule for additional health benefits. 6 ways in Consuming Psilocybin Mushrooms
