There are various ways to use magic mushrooms, where the choice between eating them directly or preparing tea can influence the experience. Eating mushrooms directly means ingesting the entire mushroom, which ensures a gradual absorption of the active substances. As a result, the effects come on more slowly, which can lead to a smoother transition into the trip. A disadvantage is that mushrooms have a strong, earthy taste that is not appreciated by everyone. Additionally, eating them directly can cause nausea in some users.
Making mushroom tea offers an alternative that better masks the taste, especially if you add ingredients such as honey or ginger. The active substances are absorbed more quickly, meaning the effects are noticeable sooner. Moreover, tea can reduce the likelihood of nausea. However, there is a risk that some active substances will be lost if prepared incorrectly, especially if the water is too hot. Additionally, the effects can come on faster and more intensely, which can be overwhelming for some users.
Both methods have their own pros and cons. Eating magic mushrooms results in a more gradual onset of effects, while tea offers a faster and potentially more intense experience. For people who are prone to nausea or find the taste of magic mushrooms unpleasant, tea may be a better option.

To make mushroom tea, start by finely chopping or crumbling the desired amount of mushrooms. Next, bring water to a boil and let it cool for a few minutes so that it is not boiling hot. Pour the hot water over the mushrooms and let it steep for about 10 to 15 minutes. For extra flavor and to reduce nausea, you can add ingredients such as ginger, lemon, or honey. After steeping, you can strain out the mushroom pieces or simply drink them along with the tea for a fuller effect.
