Azarius Magic Mushroom

[Lyxx]

Hi,

I grew a box of Azarius CUbensis. I used to have the dried ones so these are my first fresh ones. I'm not sure about the amount of fresh mushrooms I nead for a tea.
What if two peaople want to enjoy this tea? Do I have to increase the amount of mushrooms?

Thank you for your help

normal dose of wet shrooms is 20-25 grams per person

Sounds like a lot.
Is it 40 grams for two persons then?
Do you swallow the mushrooms after the drink or is tea enough?

Thank you...

in fact 10 grams wet is the same as 1 gram dry,
so 25 g wet is only 2.5g dry , a good trip but not too heavy

eat them : more powerful than tea because heat destroys psylocibin

If you make tea out of the shrooms don't put them in boiling water but in water just below the boiling point (about 90 Celsius) otherwise the tea will have no effect because the psilocybine is distroyed.
If you soak the mushrooms for 20 a 30 minutes in the hot water you don't need to eat them.

not true!! psilocybine can not be destroyed by boiling!

read this (source: erowid)

I'd say the question of Psilocybin + Heat is no longer a controversy, its a misunderstanding coupled with incomplete data. I think the open question is whether all dried mushrooms can be boiled without significant loss or whether some types react better or worse to this treatment.
Sub-boiling or lightly boiling water does not noticably reduce the activity of dried Psilocybe cubensis. Many people ingest their mushrooms as tea without needing to increase the quantity used. We know of people who regularly boil their mushrooms for up to 30 mins before drinking the resulting liquid. All fully active. The hotter the water, the better. The water should be at least slightly acidic, but psilocybin is highly water soluable.

So, the experience of many people says it works. Smoking mushrooms can work, but most mushrooms aren't terribly potent so you need to smoke a lot of mushrooms to get a strong effect (imagine smoking 2 grams of mushrooms ! yuck!). But many reliable sources report a mild effect at smoking a bowl or two and this is potentiated by other entheogens (LSD specifically).

However, this is not to say that psilocin, another active chemical, won't break down quickly in boiling water (it probably will). Different types of mushrooms contain differing ratios of psilocybin to psilocin, so it seems quite possible that different strains would fare differently with boiling or hot water extractions. There is evidence to suggest that some degree of potency loss occurs if Psilocybe cyanescens are heated by a method such as boiling.

High,

I agree with Sanne about boiling not harming your cubs.
In fact the way I prepere my tea should be without active compounds because it takes between 30 min and 1 hrs to prepere.

I always encounter very good trips on low and regular dose.

I asume when you boil then for days the active compounds will be changed somewere.

Hello People!
Yep!I agree too.I've always prepared my shrooms in tea form and never noticed any loss of potency at all,all my trips were preety overwhelming,deep and strong,i boil them for about 15 to 20 mns,i can't eat the shroomies,they really taste VERY bad,i just eat them after boiling and after drinking the tea,and trust me... it Works.I think the heat question is a false question,because i've always had wonderfull trips that way,and i'm definitely not the only one.With psychoactives,info on the web is a lot but we have to filter it,and mostly (in my opinion) experience it for yourself to find out what it's all about.

hmmmm, next time i'm going to put my shrooms in boiling water, i've never tried it actually but several people i know claim to had no effects when they made tea with boiling water so i took that for granted, my mistake.
I will spred the word here in brabant that boiling water is better, alltough i had strong trips on mushrooms soaked in hot water (not boiling).

Thanks a lot. I will boil them for 20 min then.
The harvest will hopefully be on friday. I'll let you know how it worked out with the tea.

Best regards

I boiled them for 15 minutes, and then let them stay on a hot stove with a shitload of tea bags for like 15 minutes....

After 10 minutes they kicked in and I can tell you the psilocybin was NOT destroyed!
