How to prepare a toadstool for drying
The first step is to collect fresh red toadstools, which can be found in coniferous and mixed forests, often near pine, spruce or birch trees. Note, however, that red toadstool is poisonous in its raw state, so proper preparation before consumption is necessary.
Once the mushrooms are harvested, they should be thoroughly cleaned, removing any dirt and debris. Mushrooms can be cut into smaller pieces, which will facilitate the drying process. It is important not to wash the toadstools, as this can cause them to lose their hallucinogenic properties.
The next step is to prepare a suitable place for drying. It is best to use a mushroom drier or a special strainer, which will ensure proper air circulation and speed up the drying process. You can also use the oven, setting it to a low temperature and drying the mushrooms for several hours.
When drying toadstools, it is a good idea to check their condition regularly to avoid drying them too long, which can lead to the loss of their hallucinogenic properties. Finished toadstools should be dry and crisp, but not burnt.
Once the drying process is complete, the toadstools can be stored in a tightly closed container, away from moisture and light, to preserve their freshness and hallucinogenic properties.
It is important to remember that red toadstool is a psychoactive substance and its use is associated with risks. Therefore, it is advisable to consult a specialist before starting any therapy or experimenting with this mushroom.
