Learn More About Shrooms (Psilocybin)

Psilocybin mushrooms have been used worldwide for religious, spiritual, and recreational purposes. They are also called purple passion, magic mushrooms, or shrooms. This article will tackle shrooms, how they work within your body, and how long their effects can last in your system.

What Is a Magic Mushroom?

The psychoactive components of magic mushrooms are called psilocybin and psilocin. Psilocin is responsible for the hallucinogenic effects of mushrooms and is produced when psilocybin is broken down in the body. You will learn more about this process later in the article. Psilocybin is a psychedelic chemical found in some types of mushrooms. Mushrooms containing psilocybin can induce psychedelic effects, from which the name magic mushrooms was derived. Magic mushrooms can be found mainly in the wilds across the world. P. cubensis and other mushrooms in the genus Psilocybe are common sources. Nearly 100 species have been found to have different amounts of psilocybin.

Magic Mushroom Consumption

Psilocybin shrooms can be brewed into tea or eaten fresh or dried. However, be careful since consuming an excessive amount of them can result in adverse effects. Check out the most common methods of consuming shrooms below:

Dried Mushrooms

One of the ways that mushrooms can be prepared is by drying or dehydrating them. Dried magic mushrooms are perfect for microdosing since they can be preserved for a long time. Microdosing dried magic mushrooms require grinding them into a powder and then placing the product in empty capsules.

Edible Mushrooms

Foods containing either psilocybin or psilocin are considered magic mushroom edibles. Shrooms are pretty versatile and may be added to almost anything. Some users include magic mushrooms in their preferred dish to make the substance enjoyable and easier to consume.

Mushroom Drinks

Mushroom drinks are easy-to-consume shroom products. Many users are under the impression that consuming their magic mushrooms in a beverage like tea or hot chocolate makes them taste better and provides their stomachs with more soothing effects.
