Instructions

1. 1.

   Prepare the Mushrooms

   
   First, grind your mushrooms using a grinder or blender into a fine powder, preferably with little to no visible pieces remaining. This is important since we are going to extract the active ingredient from the mushrooms, and for optimal extraction, a high surface area is key.

   
   

   If you don't have a grinder, just try to cut your mushrooms as finely as possible. This isn't optimal, but it still works. If you want to use more mushrooms, simply adjust the ingredients accordingly.

   Extract the Potency

   
   Bring 120ml of water (½ cup) to a boil, then wait 2 to 3 minutes until it cools down to around 70°C (158°F). This is important so that no significant amount of potency is lost. Then add the hot water to the mushroom powder and stir thoroughly to make sure the powder is completely submerged. This helps extract as much potency from the mushrooms into the water as possible.

   
   

   Now let the mixture sit for around 20 minutes to allow for extraction. Don't worry if it turns blue, that's just oxidation and completely normal.

   You can also just use the powder!

   Filter out the Mushroom Extract

   
   After 20 minutes, most of the active component, psilocybin, should have transferred to the water, and your mushrooms should have turned into a paste. Now it's time to separate the mushroom paste from the extract.

   
   

   For this you'll need a fine mesh sieve, cheesecloth, or coffee filter, so that you're left with only the liquid extract. If you use a cheesecloth or coffee filter, make sure it's wet before adding the mushroom mixture. Place the filter over a bowl or jar, pour in the mushroom mixture, and use a spoon to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

   
   

   To get the most out of the mushrooms, heat up another 40ml (⅙ cup) of water and pour it over the mushroom paste. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then squeeze out the liquid again. This helps you retain most of the potency.

   Add the Gelatine or Agar

   
   Once you've strained out all the liquid, pour the extract into a pot or saucepan. Don't turn on the stove yet. Whether you're using agar or gelatine, add it to the extract now and stir until dissolved, about 5 minutes. The gelatine won't fully dissolve at this stage, but it will once you apply heat.

   Combine and Heat the Remaining Ingredients

   
   Now you can turn the stove on to medium heat. Immediately add your sweetener and stir until it fully dissolves. This is also the perfect time to add any food coloring or flavoring. Neither is necessary, but both will make your gummies look and taste better.Be careful with the heat from here, as gelatine and agar behave quite differently.

   
   

   For gelatine, heat it briefly just until it fully dissolves, stirring continuously. Full dissolution happens between 50 and 60°C (122 and 140°F). Make sure never to exceed 80°C (176°F), as this will destroy the gelatine's ability to set. Once fully dissolved, remove it from the heat and move on to the next step.

   
   

   For agar, also heat on medium heat. Fortunately, agar is more heat tolerant than gelatine. Keep stirring while it heats up. Wait until bubbles form on the surface, which indicates the agar has activated and is ready to set. After bubbles have been present for about 1 minute, turn off the heat and proceed to the next step.

   Fill the Molds

   
   Move quickly now so the mixture doesn't start to set before it's in your molds, as the cooler it gets, the harder it becomes to work with. Use a spoon or pipette to carefully transfer the warm liquid into your silicone molds, and try to fill each cavity to the same level to ensure consistent dosing.

   
   

   Once all the molds are filled, gently tap the tray on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles. If you have leftover liquid and no more molds, just spread the rest onto parchment paper.

   Icecubes mold also work perfectly!

   Cool Down and Enjoy

   
   Let the molds sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to stabilize, then transfer them to the refrigerator to set completely for 1 hour. Once firm, pop them out of the molds and store them in an airtight container or jar.

   
   

   For the best shelf life and to prevent mold growth, keep them refrigerated and consume within two weeks. Keep in mind that the longer you store them, the more potency will be lost.
