Cooking with Shrooms | Tips & Tricks

Psychedelic mushrooms have a lot of rich chemical constituents like psilocybin and psilocin.

Though they generally are great culinary ingredients, not a lot of people know how to cook hallucinogenic ones. There are different useful tips and tricks one can do to get the most of these mushrooms down below:

Do not wash or soak the mushroom

This trick applies to all kinds of mushrooms. Anyone can be tempted to clean mushrooms by submerging it in water or even by soaking them for some time. Doing this will make the mushroom soak up water that will turn slimy. Chefs and mushroom experts alike say that dry mushrooms are always the delicious ones. To ensure a clean one before any preparation, use a paper towel or brush them lightly to remove any dirt.

For people who like to drink smoothies, blend the powder into the drink for a refreshing experience. For people who prefer hot drinks, add the powder to a combination of cacao, oat milk, spices, and other anti-inflammatory herbs for a tasty latte.

Baking with Psychedelic Mushrooms

Baking mushrooms into brownies, cookies, and even bread can make it a perfect pair to afternoon tea.
