Cooking with Magic Mushroom
Do you force the last bites of mushrooms down your pharynx because you loathe the unpleasant earthy taste or spongy texture of Magic Mushrooms? Or are you barely looking to add something with unique effects to your everyday culinary? In the second case, you have Magic Mushroom; in the first case, culinary has got you!
Eating magic mushrooms raw is not the only way you consume them. You can cook your food with shrooms but not knowing the right protocols will ruin your whole food. Thus, this blog will talk about the right temperature and tips that you can opt to avoid failure.
Benefits of consuming Cooked Shrooms:
You can flavorfully bring out the shrooms when you cook them with your food. Although eating raw dried mushrooms is the simplest way, you may want to make your shrooms taste better with your food. What about a psilocybin-containing chocolate bar and milk? You may prefer them over the raw Mushrooms for their taste.
Moreover, cooking the Magic Mushrooms destroys their chitinous walls making them more stomach friendly. Nonetheless, avoid shrooms food on a full stomach as “not-so-possessive” shrooms will cause digestive problems on seeing some food already in the stomach.
How do Cooking Shrooms Affect their Potency?
The hypothesis says that the increased temperature decreases the Psilocybin potency of Magic Mushrooms. A recent study backed up the hypothesis as the scientists found out that the Psilocybin potency fell by 80% when the Mushrooms were heated between 125 to 150 degrees Celsius for thirty minutes. Nonetheless, the Psilocin content increased as the Psilocybin phosphorylated and underwent oxidation. In short, the lesser the heat, the better it is for the mushrooms.
How to Dose when Cooking Magic Mushrooms:
The perfect dosing of Magic Mushrooms is very necessary to avoid anything unpleasant. However, it depends on the following few factors:
- The Individual:
The dosage depends upon an individual’s body weight, tolerance level, and sensitivity of his body to a particular Magic Mushroom strain. People with more weight prefer higher doses, and those who recently had a psychedelic trip will also like to go for higher doses because of the increased tolerance level caused by a recent trip.
- The Mushroom:
Some mushrooms are many times stronger than others. The stronger a mushroom, the lesser you need it. Identify the strain to evaluate the right dose.
- Cooking Method:
The cooking time, moisture, and pH levels of the food can influence the mushroom’s potency. An acidic dish will likely oxidize the Psilocybin to Psilocin, resulting in stronger effects. Thus, you need to take a lesser dose in case of acidic foods.
Tips for cooking Shrooms:
- Start with the light recipes to see how your body reacts to the cooked Psilocybin.
- You may want to cook it with digestive ingredients to avoid digestive problems.
- Extracting the active ingredient either by cooking the mushroom in tea or honey can be ideal for extracting the key item beforehand on your own.
- Extracting makes the shrooms last longer. So, you can use alcohol to extract Psilocybin that one can store in a refrigerator for a long time.
