What Are Shrooms?

Magic mushrooms, commonly called shrooms, are naturally occurring fungi containing the hallucinogen psilocybin. Shrooms grow in the wild, but many people farm them at home. 

Ancient cultures have been using psilocybin to enter dream trances for hundreds of years. Nearly every sacred path in history knew how to do shrooms as part of the ceremony. However, they didn’t call it psilocybin; they just knew it worked. The active compound psilocybin was formally identified in 1958 by Albert Hofmann, who also classified psilocin as the functional composite in the fungi. Even species of frogs know how to use psilocybin mushrooms; they have been sighted licking hallucinogenic mushrooms. 

Mushrooms containing psilocybin are classified as a Schedule III substance in Canada. Because they are illegal, they can only be sold in a licensed magic mushroom dispensary or the pharmacy’s self-selection department. But, some of you may be happy to learn that psilocybin mushroom spores and kits are legal since they have no active compounds.

 

Before You Take Your Trip

We know you’re all excited; after all, you’re about to know how to do shrooms, but we’ve got a few pointers for you before you’re ready to put on your psychonaut helmet.:

 

  •    Pick a day: Let’s be clear, the day you take shrooms is the day you’re not doing anything else. Roughly 45 minutes after you eat shrooms, your trip’s going to kick in and plans should include laughing, skipping about, playing, profoundly emotional work, and whatever you want. If there’s one thing to know about how to take shrooms, it should not include heavy machinery (including driving), authority figures, work, responsibilities, or any emotional downers. 
  •    Choose your setting: knowing how to use psilocybin mushrooms requires choosing the right environment. First, select an ideal environment for your trip. It should be somewhere that you feel physically and emotionally safe. You need to be free to be yourself, not worry about the authorities, have space to muck about and get generally silly. It can be nature, your home, a friend’s house, but the ultimate goal should be good vibes. 
  •    Choose a mindset: The way you feel when you eat your shrooms is generally the vibe you will carry through your trip. DO NOT eat your shrooms if you’re panicked. Get your head prepared for your trip; listen to the right mood music, watch a funny movie, smoke a joint, whatever your jam is, but set your mood right before your trip. 
  •    Have your’ trip sitter present: OK, not to harsh your vibe, but bad trips do happen. If you freak out on shrooms, you’re going to need someone to talk you down. Also, fun trips where you forget little details like “cars hurt people” and “humans can’t fly” are a thing. This is why you need a trip sitter. Your trip sitter will help keep you safe and help mind the vibe so you can have a good time.

1.   Chew And Swallow

Eating dried shrooms whole is the quickest and most straightforward way to ingest them. If they’re dried, pop them in your mouth and chew them up and swallow. If they’re fresh, you’ll want to wash the dirt and dung off them with a vegetable brush under running water. Whether fresh or dried, be sure to chew them thoroughly before swallowing. 

Although chewing them outright is the easiest way, it also tastes the worst and often causes nausea and vomiting, so it’s best to try this method on an empty stomach. If this method doesn’t strike your fancy and you’re wondering how to eat shrooms without the harsh taste, read on.

Those who know how to do shrooms will tell you that a great way to consume magic mushrooms is to mix them with your food.

Some tasty ways to eat shrooms include pizza, burgers, salad, spaghetti sauce, garlic bread, and soup. If you’re wondering how to eat shrooms with a favourite recipe, try grinding them up and adding the ground mushrooms to melted butter, then stir into your favourite recipe.

6.   Edibles

Were you wondering how to take magic mushrooms without the bad taste? Shroom edibles are a delicious method of doing shrooms. But since psilocybin breaks down at 190℉ (87.78℃), it’s best to choose recipes that don’t require baking. Cook fudge, candied apples, pudding, sorbet, or mousse, adding the finely diced or powdered shrooms to the mixture after it has cooled (the exception is candied apples, roll the applies in the shrooms as the candy cools but is not hard to the touch).

Shroom mix very well with chocolate. To make shroom chocolates, melt the chocolate over low flame, add your mushrooms, pour into moulds, then freeze.

7.   Lemon Tek

Remember our little talk about the human body’s propensity to absorb liquid quickly? Well, this will kick you where it counts! Steep ground up shrooms in lemon or lime juice for 20 minutes, strain out the shrooms, and drink up!

While there’s no scientific evidence to back it up, the psychedelic community holds that the citric acid in the lemon or lime acts as a digestive juice, breaking down the psilocybin to psilocin which means a more intense trip for you, you lucky fellow.

Caution: Take a smaller dose when using this method.
