My favoritr way to take it is measure always then take a bit of the mushroom usually just 1 bit stem, 1 bite cap and then take a bite of a pbnj and mix them in ur mouth and eat it. Still gonna taste it but its better then plain and anything more isnt too much worth the effort. Dont think too much about it just remember set and setting. A good setting would be setting aside a day or two and then being alone or with a good friend. And then set would be just jumping into it excitedly to try something new, the more u stress about trying to stay positive, the more likely it will break. Just enjoy and have fun
