A buddy of mine once opened an interesting discussion regarding the different methods of consuming psychoactive mushrooms and the relative doses required for each method while preferring to have an enjoyable trip.

I'd like to hear everyone's preferred method, with the following criteria to bear in mind:
1. Wet or dry?
2. How much? (in grams)
3. Method of consumption/ingestion
4. Duration of lasting effects
5. Most notable effects
6.of course, which species of fungus

2.5-3.5g dried and powdered on a bread with cheese I dont really like the taste, so that helps...

Yes I have heard that chopping/grinding can successfully mask the taste when added to other foods/ cold drinks (ie fruit/milk shakes)
Any noticeable difference in the necessary amt of mushrooms for desired effects when using this method?
One first hand report stated that considerably less weight was necessary - did you find this to be the case?

1-1,5 dried
we have tried several things like yoghurt/milk/other sweet things or even put it in a tea, but the best thing for us is to eat them pure, because this way you will have less taste than with other methods

Is there anyway to prevent puking?

HELLO

DONT DO IT

NO THROW UP

Sadly, the only response I can think of is, you need to have very strong will power.
I'll never forget my first trip. We were in Brooklyn on a beautiful summer day. Friend got us some large albino mushrooms with purple and blue hues running through the stems and caps. Thick and long stems. My older brother who had some experience took one look at them and said "you are going to have a very good time ".
We did indeed enjoy our day with intense visuals and the most incredible experience...
But I will never forget the incredible stomach pain and nausea that I endured for the first hour or so until it subsided. My more experienced friends encouraged me to hold it down as much as possible and that's just what I did.
It was well worth it. I've heard that vomiting can actually mean that the mushrooms are now gone and thus so is your trip. But you'd have to get this confirmed by an expert.

So I suppose the best advice I can give u is to enjoy your trip with experienced friends that can help u keep your lunch down , and I suggest a trip-sitter as well. Think of this as a babysitter for trippers. It should be someone who u can trust, that you are familiar with that has experience with mushrooms and can be there to steer you clear of, say, getting hit by a bike. And wretching up your lunch.

Well, it's the same amount I consume when fresh, though effects are much more clear when dried and ground up. I find that smoking weed helps the nausea, just smoke one or two joints after consumption and I think you are set Also might be, that not eating on empty stomach also helps with the nausea.

Yes from my experience smoking joints throughout the trip is fantastic.
Not only for nausea but also for the experience!
If I don't succeed atfinding dried mushrooms what's a good way of quickly drying them say, in the hotel room or something like that without losing too much of the psilocybin ?

I just dried them for a looong time, no idea what would be the best way to do it in hotel room tbh.. if you have a stove, then maybe put a plate on a kettle of boiling water. that should do the trick.

1. Wet or dry? Wet.
2. How much? 8-10 mushrooms.
3. Method of consumption/ingestion? A drink that was called Shroom Juice. Freshly picked mushrooms were put in a blender with water a packet of cherry flavored cool-aid, and a cup of sugar. During the blending of the mixture, more water was added to obtain the right consistency. The mixture tasted like musky cherry cool-aid and the texture resembled a watered down milkshake.
4. Duration of lasting effects: 4-6 hours
5. Most notable effects: Colors, especially when raining. While I was sitting by a window and looking out, I noticed as the rain drops hit the window, they would start sliding down, leaving behind streaks of colors in the residual trail of water.
6. Which species of fungus?: Unknown, from the wilderness of Central Florida.

I would say fresh picked mushrooms always better

1. dry for hawians, wet for cubes
2. 0.5-1g fror hawians, 35g wet for cubenisis, although i have taken way in excess of theses doses in the past.
3. well chewed with strong flavoured crisps on a fairly empty stomach. I HATE eating them, major taste/texture problems for me.
4. on average probally about 6-8 hours. im a night tripper so i usually drift off so difficult to say. think the longest i tripped was off cactus 12-14hr strong and fairly strong for the rest of the next day!
5. music, especially the classsics (doors, pink floyd) and techno/progressive house (sasha, digweed, booka shade, nick warren ect) can make a trip for me. i also love the undescribable visions, patterns and colours that flow. like a music video in your mind.
6. hawians give what i am looking for in a shroom. i grew some pf original cubes recently which were pretty nice wet, but a bit of a let down dry even at v.high dose.

If you like house music and shrooms, or even just one of the two, listen to this tune all the way through. A true house music classic--Mushroom by Marshall Jefferson.
