When it comes to mushrooms, your chosen method of consumption will shape the journey with unique qualities.
For example, teas and extracts offer a quicker onset, while consuming mushrooms whole typically leads to a longer experience. Confections and capsules are also popular options for easy dosage.
Choosing a method that aligns with you can enhance your experience, making each journey as meaningful as possible.
Whole Mushroom
Down the hatch!
Use a scale to measure your desired dosage, then simply consume the mushroom whole. This method is not the most precise or consistent, but some prefer it for simplicity and vibes.
Be prepared for an earthy and natural taste.
Tea
Tea is a classic method that has been used for centuries in various traditions. When mushrooms are steeped in hot water, the active compounds dissolve, making them easier for the body to absorb. This method often results in a quicker onset and a smoother, gentler experience.
Brewing the tea is an intentional step that also adds an element of ritual to your journey. You might consider adding ginger or honey to reduce nausea and improve taste, creating a calming and enjoyable way to consume mushrooms.
Lemon-tek
The Lemon-tek is a popular ‘tech’nique for those seeking a faster, more more concentrated effect.
By grinding the mushrooms and soaking them in lemon juice for 10–20 minutes before consumption, you break down the mushrooms’ active compounds. This makes them easier for the body to absorb and can lead to a stronger, shorter experience.
0.5 lemons/g is an appropriate ratio
Confections
Pre-dosed confections, like chocolates and candies, combine flavor and convenience, masking the earthy taste of mushrooms. These treats are made with a set amount of mushrooms in each piece, making it easy to control dosage accurately.
Confections are ideal for both microdosing and more substantial journeys, offering a tasty experience without the guesswork.
Capsules
Capsules of precisely measured mushroom powder are simple and discreet, ideal for those seeking consistency and ease of use. They eliminate the mushroom’s taste entirely, making consumption effortless and accessible. This method is ideal for microdosing and measured consistent doses.
Extracts
Favored for their purity and convenience, extracts are quickly absorbed and offer consistent dosing, making them an efficient and reliable option. They are versatile, available in forms such as tinctures, oils, or powders, and are well-suited for microdosing due to their precision.
