i used to make gel shots with the shrooms.... doesnt work too well for small quantities; and im not sure about with dried shrooms.... but here is my recipe....
dice shrooms into small pieces... (i usually used about 30-60 caps)
put in pot with just enough water to cover
simmer on a low heat until the shrooms start to cook down
add a bunch of sugar/honey and continue simmering/stirring...
you are finished when it reaches the taste/consistency you desire....
the sugar carmelizes and thickens the mixture, and of course adds a sweet taste... the resulting product looks like mollassas with clumps, and has the same consistency.... also tastes like shroom candy
...
just remember that it cooks down dramatically, so it only takes a tablespoon or two to do the job
if anyone tries this out, let me know how you liked it... all of my friends LOVED it
