What are Psilocybin Mushrooms?

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring hallucinogenic chemical found in specific mushrooms growing in Mexico, South America and Europe, giving the moniker psilocybin mushrooms. Such psilocybin-containing mushrooms are what the world calls magic mushrooms or shrooms. People love to use them as a recreational drug, for they can proffer deep sensory distortion and euphoric feelings commonly found in LSDs. However, these mushrooms are the natural way of getting you into that hallucinogenic state and have been in spiritual practice for years. Tribes used to communicate with their gods after taking these mushrooms, so they carry a rich history of religious status and ceremonial use.

How are magic mushrooms consumed?

The shrooms are dried and then turned into a powdered form. After that, they can be placed in different products like gummies, edibles, drinks, capsules, etc. You can even have the simple powdered form and sprinkle it in your food to give yourself some good time while masking its raw and bitter taste. Keeping your shrooms in an airtight container is the key to prolonging their freshness. People generally consume psilocybin in a brewed tea form. Moreover, there are shroom candies and chocolates to enhance the experience.

Is psilocybin addictive?

No. The medical bodies don't deem psilocybin addictive, only a nice and potent hallucinogenic drug with no risky or long-lasting side effects.

How do the psilocybin mushrooms work?

The psilocybin chemical in the shrooms works by effectively activating the serotonin receptors in your prefrontal cortex. This part of the brain directly affects perception, mood and cognition. That puts you in an extremely relaxed state where you might experience mild hallucinations.  Psilocybin does not necessarily activate the scary visual and auditory hallucinations but can distort how a person perceives their surroundings and objects, for it sharpens everything around them. While there is no dead-set rule, the outcome can vary for every consumer. It is solely based on your unique body chemistry, mindset, and setting in which you took the shrooms. Nonetheless, many consumers have reported feeling serenity, euphoria, deep muscle relaxation, transcendence or even mystical experiences. Colours may appear more vivid; sounds are heightened due to altered perception. Psilocybin gives that profound sense of connection and openness with the world.

When you take your shrooms, you can expect them to spread and work in your system within 30 minutes.

Does heat ruin the potency of psilocybin mushrooms?

A common myth among lovers of psychedelic plants is that mushrooms are destroyed when exposed to heat.

Many people have shared their experiences about preparing shroom edibles on low or medium heat and how it did not compromise the potency. So, use the psilocybin mushrooms any way you like to prepare them on heat.

How long can the effects stay in the system?

When the mushrooms enter your system, they pass through the digestive tract absorbing into the bloodstream. The duration of the lasting hallucinogenic effects can differ from consumer to consumer; however, the general consensus is 4 to 6 hours.
