Magic mushrooms (also known as psilocybin caps) can produce some pretty remarkable effects, from altered emotions and altered sense of time, visual stimulation and synesthesia – seeing colors and hearing sounds simultaneously – to anxiety relief. Shrooms can help make any experience better or simply relieve anxiety; knowing their storage potential is important so as not to waste their potential power.

Mushrooms can be stored in various ways, with tea being one of the most popular methods. This is because tea does not require your stomach to break down psilocybin, often producing stronger effects than eating mushrooms themselves. Furthermore, unlike dried mushrooms which require drying before eating them, mushroom tea is much more concentrated and you can choose different strains to control its strength of effect.

Making mushroom tea involves extracting psilocybin from mushrooms using hot water extraction techniques. This approach is preferred over cold water extraction because mushrooms don’t absorb it as easily, which could reduce drug efficacy. Furthermore, hot water extraction allows more accurate dosing than standard tincture solutions which require large volumes of liquid for maximum effectiveness.

Before making mushroom tea, the first step should be pre-drying your mushrooms. This involves placing your shrooms on cardboard or dry towel and letting them sit in an adequately ventilated environment until pre-drying is complete. After this step is completed, move them to a cool, dark location – such as a closet or drawer away from heat sources such as an oven.

Once the mushrooms have been dried completely, they can be ground into a fine powder and mixed with hot water for 20 minutes, which releases their psilocybin compounds into solution. This preparation method is often more enjoyable than chewing or swallowing raw or dried mushrooms directly and may reduce nausea for some users.

Mushroom tea is an easy and tasty way to consume large doses of mushroom extract at once, and can be enjoyed all throughout the day. Mushroom tea may also help alleviate symptoms related to depression and anxiety; taking regular doses of psilocybin could even assist cancer patients cope with mental trauma caused by their diagnosis.

As with other mushrooms, proper storage of mushroom tea is crucial to maintaining its potency. Exposure to light and heat accelerates degradation while moisture increases chances of contamination. To prevent this, store it in a dark, cool location away from children and pets – up to one month’s storage should do just fine; although for optimal results try drinking within two weeks of brewing to make sure its potency hasn’t diminished; otherwise simply make more!
