Important things to remember when cooking, or baking, with magic mushrooms
When it comes to dosage, use the normal raw dose per magic mushroom. Evenly distribute this dose to the food or pastry you are making. For instance, if you are making one chocolate bar which will be shared with two people then take two doses of magic mushrooms and evenly distribute it throughout the entire bar. You will be creating one bar which is good for two people or two doses if you don’t want to share.
Another important thing to remember is that magic mushrooms contain a chemical called psilocybin. This is the chemical that causes the psychoactive effects in magic mushrooms. Psilocybin can break down easily when this is exposed to high temperatures. Avoid this by never placing your shrooms in any very hot surfaces or substance.
