What Are Magic Mushrooms?

Human beings have used magic mushrooms for centuries in cultures all over the world. There’s even evidence of their presence as far back as the Stone Age. Different civilizations used the hallucinogenic properties of magic mushrooms for religious services, medical treatments, and more. Magic mushrooms were an especially important part of hippie counterculture in the United States and Shrooms Canada community during the 1960s. It was also during this time that research began to uncover the many therapeutic benefits of magic mushrooms. Today, magic mushrooms continue to be one of the most popular psychedelic drugs in the world. The main ingredient in magic mushrooms is known as psilocybin. It is this compound that is responsible for the psychedelic effects normally associated with shrooms. Magic mushrooms can be consumed in a number of different ways, from edibles to capsules and everything in between.

How Does Psilocybin Work?

Despite its rich history, scientists did not identify psilocybin as a hallucinogenic compound until the mid-20th century. They also found that the body actually converts psilocybin into another compound called psilocin. Psilocin is what produces the various psychedelic effects of magic mushrooms. When you ingest psychedelic mushrooms, the psilocybin interacts with the part of the brain that regulates abstract thinking, thought analysis, mood, and perception. This results in the hallucinogenic effects and distortions of time and reality common to shroom use. Psilocin also interacts with several chemicals in several different parts of the brain. This explains why magic mushrooms can produce such a broad range of different effects. The effects of magic mushrooms are very similar to those of other psychedelic substances including Prisms LSD and DMT.

Magic mushrooms have become a popular medicine and continue to make a name for itself. This is in large part because of the wide range of therapeutic effects that shrooms provide users.

Effects of Magic Mushrooms

Before we begin, it is important to note that not all psychedelic mushrooms are the same. For instance, some mushrooms strains contain higher concentrations of psilocybin and are more potent than milder types.  

In addition, even the same strain can vary in effects and potency depending on the particular batch. The farmer’s expertise and practices will also play a large factor.

On another note, the amount of psilocybin taken will largely determine how intense your experience will be. For example, someone who ingests 3 grams of potent shrooms will likely experience the full effects. Whereas, people who microdose will likely not experience any psychedelic effects. Finally, it’s important to know that there are several individual factors that can influence the intensity and length of a magic mushroom trip. These include weight, age, tolerance to psychedelics, and more. Your environment as well as your mood state at the start of your trip can also influence your overall experience.

Below are some of the most common effects associated with magic mushroom use:

Distortion of reality Enhanced senses

Medical Uses of Psilocybin Mushrooms

The beneficial properties of magic mushrooms have been put to the test for ages. After all this time, it is hard to dispute that the therapeutic benefits have major medicinal value. 

However, shrooms have not completely made it out of the shadows as of yet. This means medical research in this wonder drug is still in its infancy.  But even in the early stages, a plethora of medical uses of shrooms have been discovered. 

Here are some of the most common medical conditions that are treated using magic mushrooms:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Addiction Cessation
  • Cancer-Related Psychological Conditions
  • Stress
  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Cluster Headaches

Negative Effects of Magic Mushrooms

Although shrooms provide a large number of beneficial effects, they also can induce negative sensations. This is especially the case when overconsumption or improper use is a factor. 

Therefore, it is imperative that you obtain the proper dosing instructions and know your limits.  You should always err on the side of caution and start off slow, and give plenty of time between doses. It’s also important to make sure you’re tripping in a safe environment with people you can trust. Luckily, magic mushrooms have a very low toxicity level, meaning that it is very difficult to overdose.

Different Types of Magic Mushrooms

There are currently just under 200 known types of psilocybin mushrooms. Of these, psilocybe cubensis is the most common and makes up the majority of shroom products on the market. 

Psilocybe Cubensis

These are the most popular of all the magic mushrooms that are cultivated and sold. This is because they are extremely easy to cultivate and tend to have positive, easygoing effects. Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms are distinguishable by their large caps and cinnamon hue. These shrooms are commonly referred to as “golden caps” or “Mexican mushrooms.” The name P. Cubensis refers to their bare caps as well as their Cuban origins. In terms of their size, P. Cubensis mushrooms are one of the larger magic mushroom species out there. They tend to grow in moist, humid climates on the dung of various grazing animals such as sheep and cattle. P. Cubensis mushrooms are moderately potent, and they are a great choice for those using magic mushrooms for the first time. 

Psilocybe Cyanescens

The majority of people refer to these mushrooms as “wavy caps” because of their large and wavy mushroom tops. P. Cyanescens is native to Central Europe as well as the Pacific Northwest, but they are now one of the most widespread magic mushroom species. These shrooms tend to grow on wood chips and mulch in gardens, nature trails, and parks. Their ability to grow in extremely large quantities is what makes P. Cyanescens popular with cultivators everywhere. This species of shroom is known to be intense in effects and a bit small in size.

Psilocybe Azurescen

Discovered by Paul Stamets, these shrooms have the reputation of being one of the most potent mushrooms in the world. They are native in the west coast of the United States and are commonly referred to as the “flying saucer” mushroom. Other nicknames for this potent species include “Azzies,” “Blue Runners,” and “Blue Angels.” This species prefers to live in sandy soils as well as on decaying wood. They are also better at growing in colder climates compared to other magic mushroom species. The effects of P. Azurescen produce intense visual hallucinations in addition to heavy introspection and self-discovery. Their incredibly high potency also makes this species popular for microdosing, as you only need to consume a small dose to feel effects.

Amanita Muscaria

Although not commonly used in Canadian society, these mushrooms are used in many indigenous cultures for shamanic purposes. A. Muscaria has a long history of use in cultures all across Central Asia and Northern Europe. Interestingly, this species is one of the only types of magic mushrooms that does not actually contain psilocybin. Instead, A. Muscaria mushrooms contain ibotenic acid and muscimol, two lesser-known hallucinogenic compounds. These mushrooms boast a bright red cap with white spots that make it extremely easy to recognize. In terms of their effects, A. Muscaria mushrooms produce similar effects to those of psilocybin mushrooms. However, their effects can be more unpredictable and produce a greater range of side effects.

Here is a list of many favourite magic mushroom strains:

Best Ways to Take Shrooms

This will largely depend on the individual and their personal preference. For instance, many people do not care for the taste of dried magic mushrooms.  Many find the taste to be bitter and unenjoyable, whereas others don’t mind at all. Different methods of consumption can influence the intensity of effects in addition to how quickly they kick in.  In general, orally ingesting (eating) magic mushrooms is the safest and most common way to take shrooms.  However, there is a variety of different shroom products available to select from. 

Dried Shrooms

For those who don’t mind braving the taste, then dried shrooms are an excellent option. They are what the majority of people picture when thinking about magic mushrooms. Drying fresh magic mushrooms prevents decomposition while preserving their overall potency and appearance. The result is a mushroom with an extremely brittle texture and not a trace of moisture. You can consume dried shrooms raw, or you can also grind them up and blend them into your favorite meals and beverages. 

Shroom Chocolate

Chocolate and magic mushrooms are a dynamic duo, one that has a long, rich history. The Aztecs considered both cacao and magic mushrooms to be sacred and often used them in spiritual practices. Since then, chocolate shrooms have only continued to grow in popularity. Anyone who dislikes the taste of dried shrooms should try chocolate shrooms. These products are cocoa treats that are infused with psilocybin. This is a rich and creamy way to enjoy your medicine. However, the delicious taste of chocolate shrooms can make it easy to accidentally consume too much, so it’s important to be cautious with your dosing. 

Shroom Gummies

These are another tasty treat for those who might not like the bitter taste of dried shrooms. Shroom gummies are similar to chocolate shrooms in that they are infused with psilocybin. But instead of chocolate, the psychedelic compounds are added to the gummy mix. Shroom gummies can come in a wide variety of delicious flavors, making it super easy to find the perfect one for you. However, similar to chocolate shrooms, it’s easy to overdo it with these delicious psychedelic sweets.

Shroom Capsules (Pills)

Another alternative is to take a more medical approach when taking psilocybin. Shroom capsules are the perfect product for those who do not want the hassle of having to figure out dosing themselves. Also, shroom pills are ideal for anyone who wishes to microdose their psilocybin. Microdosing involves taking a small dose of magic mushrooms in order to enjoy their therapeutic benefits without experiencing a full-blown trip. This method can help improve mood, focus, and energy while also promoting creativity. Shroom capsules are convenient, flavorless, and a great way to try magic mushrooms for the first time.

Shroom Tea

Magic mushroom products also come in beverage form. Shroom tea is by far the most popular and widely used in this category.  These warm confections are made by breaking up dried mushrooms and steeping them in a hot/warm cup of water. One of the biggest advantages of shroom tea is that it allows you to experience the effects of your shrooms much faster than other methods. This is because consuming magic mushrooms in liquid forms allows your body to absorb it much more quickly. The trip may also be more intense and shorter in length. Shroom tea is also much easier on the stomach compared to raw shrooms which can induce nausea.    

Magic Mushroom Alternatives

If you made it this far without buying anything, then maybe magic mushrooms aren’t for you. Or maybe you are looking for alternatives to shroom products. 

Well, then what else is there?

Cannabis is a great alternative (or complement) to magic mushrooms. It is well known that cannabis can enhance the effects of shrooms. Also, marijuana can be of great benefit when coming down from your trip. Marijuana flowers, cannabis concentrates, weed edibles, vapes, and CBD are all great options.
