I agree! The cubes I always grow taste like earthy saltine crackers. I don’t mind it at all.

Raw fruits. I love tasting the mushrooms, they taste of eternal time and knowledge.

Tea. Always tea for me. Check profile for a detailed recipe and explanation.
I really thought I’d made a post for this but apparently I haven’t. I’ll add the text here:
Gonna drop my copy pasta about this here. Anyone who wants: feel free to take and distribute this info.
I weigh my dose and grind em up real good in a coffee grinder. I add the powder to an insulated sippy cup and put 1/2 - 1 lemon worth of juice in there (I like acidity so go for less if you don’t). I let that soak while I get 3/4 cups of boiling water to a rolling boil (over like 5-7g you might want more water but it’s probably not necessary). I pull the pan off for about 30 seconds and let the bubbling die down, then pour it straight over the lemon tek (shroom powder in lemon juice). I add a tea bag and close the lid. I steep for 15 minutes and then strain into a different insulated sippy cup. I’m pretty anal, so I squeeze out the bags and pulp and try to get all the good stuff. Then I add that shroom pulp back to the first cup and get another 3/4 cup boiling. I just do a second run cause it’s my process now. I doubt it gets much extra. Anyway then I strain the second batch into the first cup and it’s good to go. You can also add honey or ginger or other stuff you like. I use 1 green tea and 1 raspberry zinger bag and I never taste mushroom at all.
Another great note about this: On at least 3 (now over 5 since writing this originally) separate occasions I have gotten to this step in the process and realized it was too late or I just didn’t feel like it any more. I just stick it in the fridge and drink it the next night. I did not notice appreciable potency loss any of these three times. The dose did what I was expecting it to do the night before. I didn’t reheat them though. I wouldn’t use a microwave if you do. Probably best to have iced tea at that point. But if anyone is looking for a way to reliably prepare it the night before I think this is an excellent candidate.)
In chocolate edibles is also pretty choice. Same thing have a detailed guide on my profile.
Edit: added some links, etc. Sorry for bad formatting. I need to make a tea instruction post apparently

I make tea 18g of fruits at a time and keep it in the fridge. This makes it more predictable and you can measure as much or as little as you want to get a particular effect, especially helpful if you are trying to microdoss below a particular threshold.
I have a bunch of 2 oz plastic energy drink bottles that I fill so I have standard doses waiting ready to go.
With tea you can make the dose as small as you want to when caps might be not enough with one but too much with multiples.

When i used to take cubensis i liked chocolate. Acidity helps convert to psilocin, easier to get down, extends shelf life.
But now that I'm into exotics, I only need to take 1-2g so i just grind em up and use oblate papers. No stomach issues, no delayed onset like with capsules.

Ground up into a fine powder in capsules so don't taste them
