Have you just bought a grow kit, or are you thinking about getting one? Good news! With today's modern grow kits, it is very easy to grow your own psilocybin mushrooms at home. Popular varieties like Golden Teacher, McKennaii, and Mexican are highly loved. You can find these complete kits and all handy accessories neatly organized in our online smartshop.

Raw magic mushrooms and magic truffles have a very specific, earthy taste. Many people do not enjoy this flavor. Fortunately, there are great ways to mask the taste and make your experience much more pleasant. Additionally, consuming mushrooms in tea or dishes helps prevent nausea. This mild feeling of stomach discomfort unfortunately happens sometimes when you eat them raw. Discover the best magic mushroom recipes and preparation methods below.

Important temperature tip: The active substance psilocybin breaks down at high temperatures. Therefore, only add mushrooms or truffles after a liquid or dish has cooled down to below 75°C. Never boil them directly in a pot on the stove.

1. Making shroom tea: the most popular method

Do you want an effective way of making shroom tea? This is an excellent choice if you want the active ingredients to work quickly. Psilocybin dissolves incredibly well in warm water. Because of this, your body processes it faster, often within 20 to 30 minutes. In addition, tea greatly reduces the chance of stomach issues. You simply strain out the solid plant material, so your stomach does not have to work as hard.

Ingredients and preparation

• Ingredients: Dried mushrooms or truffles, water, a fine strainer or tea infuser, and optional flavorings like honey, fresh mint, or a concentrated ginger shot to fight nausea.
• Step 1: Grind your dry mushrooms as finely as possible. This is easiest with a sturdy metal grinder. You can chop fresh truffles very finely with a sharp knife.
• Step 2: Bring water to a boil (use about 250 ml per dose). Let the water cool down to 70-75°C. Wait at least 5 to 10 minutes after boiling.
• Step 3: Put the mushroom or truffle powder into a tea filter or coffee filter and pour the warm water over it.
• Step 4: Let it steep for 15 to 30 minutes. Strain the liquid well and throw away the leftover pieces to prevent stomach aches.
• Step 5: Add honey or mint for a nice taste. Avoid caffeinated tea (like black or green tea), as caffeine can make the trip feel restless.

The Lemon Tek method with truffles

Are you looking for a shorter but more intense experience? Then you can choose the lemon tek truffels method. Grind the truffles into a powder using a special truffle grinder. After that, pour fresh lemon juice over it until the powder is fully covered. Let it soak for 30 to 60 minutes. The citric acid converts the psilocybin into psilocin beforehand—a process that normally happens in your stomach. Drink the mixture all at once. It is best not to use this sour method for mushrooms, as their active ingredients are less stable.

2. Making magic mushroom chocolate

Chocolate hides the bitter, earthy taste of mushrooms perfectly. The Aztecs used this combination centuries ago. It is a delicious way to create a precisely dosed treat.

Make sure your mushrooms are bone dry. Melt a bar of high-quality dark chocolate using the au bain-marie method (in a bowl over a pot of gently simmering water). Remove the melted chocolate from the heat and let it cool down for a few minutes. Next, stir the finely ground mushroom powder well and evenly into the chocolate. Pour the mixture into a mold and let it harden in the fridge.

3. Savory truffle pesto and fresh salads

The strong, savory flavors of garlic, basil, and olive oil are ideal for hiding the taste of psychedelics. Because you make pesto cold, you run zero risk of losing the active ingredients due to heat.

Mix fresh herbs, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast for a vegan version), garlic, and extra virgin olive oil in a blender with your finely chopped mushrooms or truffles. This makes a wonderful dip for crackers or raw veggies. Do you prefer a healthy meal? Slice fresh truffles into thin pieces and mix them into a fresh salad with arugula, goat cheese, and a tasty dressing made of sesame oil and apple cider vinegar.

4. Making mushroom capsules for tasteless use

Do you want to bypass the taste completely and take mushrooms without any smell or flavor? Then filling capsules is the best method. This is also highly popular for people who want to microdose accurately.

Make sure the mushrooms are completely dry and grind them into a very fine powder. With a handy capsule machine, you can easily fill empty, vegetarian capsules. Size "00" holds about 750 mg of powder. Always use an accurate digital scale to check the weight per capsule. Tip: poke a small hole in the capsule before taking it. This helps it dissolve faster in your stomach.

5. Blue Honey for storing magic mushrooms

Honey is a natural preservative. If you are looking for a way to keep your harvest good for a very long time, storing magic mushrooms in honey is a smart choice. This liquid extract is also known as 'Blue Honey' in the community.

The mixture turns blue because the psilocybin reacts slightly with the air (oxidizes) during the process. Make sure the mushrooms are cracker-dry to prevent fermentation. Grind them into powder and layer it in a glass jar with liquid honey. Seal the jar airtight and store it in a dark place for at least 1 to 4 months. The honey absorbs the active ingredients and will keep for years. Are you a vegan? You can safely use agave nectar instead.

Guidelines for drying and storing shrooms

Do you want to successfully process mushrooms into chocolate, capsules, or honey? Then thoroughly drying shrooms is a mandatory step. Moisture quickly causes mold, which will destroy your valuable harvest. Place your harvested mushrooms on a clean piece of paper towel in front of a fan. You can also use a food dehydrator on a low setting (maximum 40-45°C). The mushrooms are only ready when they are 'cracker-dry'. This means they snap or break immediately when you try to bend them. After that, store them in an airtight jar with a moisture-absorbing packet (silica gel).

Safety and responsible use

A great psychedelic experience depends entirely on good preparation. Always make sure you are in a good mental state and choose a safe, familiar environment (the well-known *set & setting*). Only use these products if you are physically and mentally healthy and at least 18 years old.

Never combine psychedelics with alcohol, medication, or other drugs. Make sure there is always a sober 'tripsitter' with you who can look after you. For extra peace of mind, it is smart to have a trip stopper at home. This allows you to quickly lower the intensity of the experience if needed.
