Denver fairly recently decriminalized mushrooms and I got a grow kit on a whim.

I’m now sitting on a bunch of mushrooms and I don’t know what to do. I’ve got info on microdosing, but I don’t know anything else. The last time I had shrooms was at a concert probably 20 years ago and it was just a bag. Given the increased potency of marijuana I’m reluctant to do anything with them. Any guidance would be appreciated!

    Yes. If you are not planning on consuming them fresh, drying them is the best way to go. There are different methods to choose from, but I would avoid any process that uses heat, which can damage the alkaloids. If you don’t have a dehydrator, you can get a decent little unit for $40-$50 on Amazon.

      I have a few dehydrators. But if I were to consume them fresh, what can I expect?

        I would personally never attempt to give a direct answer to that question. I have had some of the most beautiful and some of the most arduous experiences of my life on shrooms. I will say that mushrooms are teachers. Don’t expect to tell the mushrooms where to take you or what to show you. The advice given above regarding microdosing is definitely valid. Knowing how the mushrooms affect you personally will tell you what to expect in a way that nothing else can convey.
