Does anyone have experience making mushroom honey?

3 years ago by mightnotapply to c/shrooms

Tried making some blue honey for the first time yesterday! Just went with a small jar for a test run.

Ok so here’s my math on the weights- 3 fluid ounces = 18 teaspoons. 3 fluid ounces of honey weighs approx. 4.5 ounces, or 127 grams.

I ended up putting 120g honey in that little jar, along with 11.5g ground dried cubensis.

Assuming I indeed have 3 fluid ounces or 18tsp of honey, if I divide 11.5 by 18, that would make approx .64 grams per teaspoon.

So that’s about what I was aiming for, but it looks like a jar of doodoo lol. It was also getting pretty thick when mixing. I’m happy, but it definitely doesn’t look like the pictures I see online! Anyway, has anyone else tried this? What’s your recipe/ratio?

I tried once but I got raw unfiltered honey I believe. It crystallized because of that if I recall correctly and got a little gross. I also think I way overpacked the honey. I tried to make 1g of honey = .1 g ground product.

I would dilute that if I did it again and use honey that isn’t as likely to crystallize

I think I used raw honey as well. At least that's what the lady at the roadside stand I bought the honey at said. I've heard about the crystallization woes as well, I guess I'll have to wait and see how this stuff acts over the months! I've also heard raw honey contains enzymes that otherwise get cooked off during the filtering process, so it's better to use. Not sure why haha.

It seems like your ratio of 1g honey to .1 mushroom is pretty close my my ratio too. I'll give it a stir in another month or so and see how it goes!

Hmm, very interesting! I might have to make a batch and try it out!

Give it a shot! Once the mushrooms are in the honey they don’t degrade, so it seems like a great way to use up shrooms that pile up after grows :)
