Yeah haha bro I get you. Some people are like that. See for me I just can't do dried at all. I just can't eat them, something about the dry texture. I will gag and damn near puke just trying to get down a few grams. And then there is a severe aftertaste of the shit all up in my teeth and it honestly will ruin the entire trip for me. Like to me mushrooms were never supposed to be consumed dried, ya know? But freshies I can handle no problems bro. I can eat 40 grams of fresh without any gagging or nothing, and since there's not dried shit all up in my mouth and no aftertaste through the trip, my experiences on frieshies is always better just because of that. IDK, but for me if I am eating mushrooms, it has to be fresh! I dry extras for my friends, but I will only eat fresh mushrooms myself. Now I might make a tea every once in a while out of dry, but, the dry shrooms things just doesn't work for me at all.
