Consuming mushrooms through tea offers more precise control of dosage and reduces nausea while making them more palatable.

1. Choose your mushrooms wisely

When planning a mushroom tea trip, selecting the appropriate mushrooms is of vital importance – particularly for beginners. Different mushroom species differ greatly in potency and effects.

Mushrooms contain psilocybin, which is a psychoactive chemical compound capable of altering perception and consciousness. If chosen incorrectly, mushrooms can lead to an overwhelming or unpleasant experience; there are various options for selecting suitable mushrooms such as picking your own, purchasing grow kits, or premade tea.

Consideration should also be given to your surroundings and state of mind when taking magic mushrooms. For optimal results, it’s recommended that they are consumed in an undisturbed space that’s free from external stimulation; this will help ensure a more pleasant trip experience. Furthermore, only use magic mushrooms with people you trust who know the effects well – doing otherwise may result in unwanted side effects such as paranoia and anxiety.

Before steeping mushrooms for mushroom tea, it’s essential that they be ground into a powder. This makes your tea more effective and is easily done using either a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle. Incorporating additional ingredients can further add flavor and help achieve the desired effects; popular choices for adding other elements include hibiscus, licorice and chai as flavor enhancers.

Beginners should start off slowly when taking mushroom tea for the first time, taking only small doses at first to ensure no harmful side effects from overdosing occur. To prevent overdosing and possible unpleasant consequences from overdosing on mushroom tea use a dosing calculator and adhere to recommended dosage.

Once you begin taking mushroom tea, it is essential to regularly monitor and assess your tolerance levels and take regular breaks. Waiting several weeks between trips will allow your body to adapt more successfully in future trips and will help ensure more successful experiences overall. It is also wise to have snacks, water and any supplemental medications on hand in case your trip becomes uncomfortable or dangerous, helping keep hydrated and grounded on an otherwise disorienting journey under the influence of mushrooms.

2. Prepare your environment

Setting and location play an integral role in mushroom trips. Therefore, it’s highly advised that individuals visit an environment they feel at ease with, such as their home or a private room in someone’s house. Furthermore, it would be prudent to inform those around you of your intentions to consume mushrooms and request they don’t disturb you during your experience. Furthermore, be sure to bring sleeping bag/blanket/pillow, comfortable clothing, food and water as well as possibly a tour guide such as an underground therapist or trusted friend as necessary.

3. Prepare your tea

Mushroom tea is a beverage prepared by steeping various varieties of mushrooms in hot water for consumption. Mushroom tea often utilizes the psychoactive properties of psilocybin mushrooms (commonly referred to as magic mushrooms) which has both physical and psychological effects for users. Mushroom tea may be enjoyed for various reasons including relieving nausea as well as appreciating its flavor and benefits.

Preparing mushroom tea is straightforward and simple, though certain equipment will be necessary. These include a kettle or saucepan, large mug(s), strainer and desired type of mushroom(s). Once all this equipment is assembled and you have measured out your dose of mushrooms to be cut up into small pieces for infusing into tea more easily, start by weighing out and cutting your desired dose into pieces with greater surface area to facilitate this process more quickly.

Pour water over mushrooms and let the mixture steep for at least 10 minutes before adding extra flavors such as ginger slices and lemon juice for a zesty kick, or chamomile and honey for a soothing experience. These ingredients may alter both the taste and effects of your tea; so experiment to find what combination best meets your tastes and needs!

Once your tea has steeped, strain to remove mushroom pieces before sipping away and enjoying your beverage of choice. Depending on its taste, sweeten it further to enhance its enjoyment while counteracting any earthy notes from the mushrooms and enhance your experience.

Many psilocybin users choose mushroom tea as it can reduce nausea, but it’s important to remember that even at low doses psilocybin can still have undesirable side effects in certain individuals. Therefore, when taking mushroom tea it should always be prepared correctly and consumed in a safe environment with someone you trust – potentially including anxiety, paranoia and hallucinations as well as sweating, headaches or muscle aches; sweating has also been reported among some individuals along with loss of appetite or drowsiness.

4. Prepare your mind

Psilocybin mushrooms have increasingly been made into tea to improve taste, reduce nausea and stomach upset, and bypass eating its chitin cell walls. Brewing it also provides an effective way of rapidly converting psilocin into psychoactive psilocin – something our bodies naturally do with acid addition – into its more potency psychoactive version more rapidly – something Dani, Christian, Mark Josh Pelle and Pelle do when getting ready to dance Harga for Midsommar in the film by drinking an unknown tea which likely contains psilocin.

Mushroom tea usually starts to work within 30 minutes of consumption, with symptoms typically including slight nausea and visual hallucinations like fleeting distortions around them, while others might experience disorienting feelings or even “ego death”, which can be disconcerting and alarming – this is why having someone accompany or guide your trip, such as an experienced underground therapist or friend can be invaluable in regaining your sense of self.

Many guides recommend approaching mushroom tea trips with an open mind and accepting whatever experience may come their way. A positive mindset can help overcome fear and take full advantage of what mushrooms can provide in terms of healing power, while setting an intention such as learning about or healing from an issue or simply appreciating nature and the universe is also highly advised.
