At room temperature it's more of a gummy consistency. Even at around 80 degrees F (~27C), if you hold the tub upside-down it will not spill. Over a long period of time, it would eventually ooze out, but it pours
really slowly.
Some people cannot taste any hint of the mushrooms, but others say they can definitely tell but that it's not a typically unpleasant shroomy taste, just an awareness that they're in there. Only one person doesn't like it, and I think it's because of the nutmeg, which for her combines w/ the fungi taste and makes it worse. If that happens, leave out the nutmeg next time! (But only one person has ever had that problem, but loves it w/out nutmeg, and calls it "giggle goo").
And yes, flatten the spoon! It is supposed to be one
LEVEL tsp., and that means minimal gunk stuck to the bottom, too! A dab'll do ya.
A Few More Tips: 1) Use a knife to get the honey out of the tub, then spread it into the spoon. This way you take out no more than desired, which is much less messy, and none gets stuck to the bottom of the spoon as from scooping it out.
2) Another way to use it is to make herb tea (any compatible Celestial Seasonings flavor works well, like Mandarin Orange Spice) and add the spoon to that. There will be powdered bits floating in it as the honey will dissolve; be sure to swallow 'em! It comes on right quick that way.
3) When your tub is almost empty, make more of that herb tea and pour the hot brewed tea into the tub to get every last little molecule of magic!
Really, it makes my day to see people interested in trying this, and the comments have been inspiring. Thanks!
BTW: This was a test of the format I'd like to use to post how-to's with in the future; looks like I'll stick to it.
