I wonder if the taste is mainly responsible for people throwing up? Done capsules and never had a problem that particular symptom.

No I dont think so. Mushroom outer layer is chitin-glucan complex which is really hard for our digestive system to process.

Lemon-trek is supposed to help by 1. griding it to a powder, and 2. Putting it in a lemon solution to help do some of that breaking down process

I’ve heard this a lot, but I think a good part of the nausea is caused by the same compounds as the psychedelia. LSD seems to cause just as much nausea, and it’s a tiny droplet of liquid absorbed through the mucous membranes.

I haven't experienced stomach issues from LSD, though I haven't always experienced them on shrooms either, so I don't know

I think it's person to person, I've never had any stomach issues at all.

I feel like even normal mushrooms can make you queasy if you eat too many, they are undercooked, or you're already feeling a little ill.

I get motion sick when I hallucinate. I think LSD is the only one that never made my tummy rumble

As someone who gets motion sick very easily you have put me off mushrooms. Hours of motion sickness while high sounds atrocious.

Look at this optical illusion and then look at a wall. That's pretty much what it looks like when people say walls are breathing. Add in tracers and closed eye visuals and it can get to be too much.
