Psilocybin (Magic) mushrooms are natural occurring members of the family Entheobasidaceae. Psilocin is a naturally occurring psychedelic substance produced by these mushrooms. This substance produces psychoactive effects.

They grow primarily in temperate zones and tropical forests throughout North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, South America, and Mexico.

Magic Mushrooms grow wherever it is warm and damp enough for their habitat, including indoors. More than 180 psilocybin-containing mushrooms species are found all over the world and can induce hallucinogenic/psychedelic effects when consumed.

How are Psilocybin (Magic) mushrooms identified?

The first step to identifying a psilocybin mushroom is to determine its color. White-colored specimens are actually not edible at all. If you find a white specimen, move along. In the event that you find a yellow specimen, chances are good that it contains psilocybin.

If you find a brown specimen, it’s likely to be shiitake. Shiitakes are considered safe to eat, while psilocybe mushrooms are poisonous.

Psilocybin mushrooms contain compounds called psilocin and psilocybine, both of which are highly toxic. These two substances cause hallucinations, psychosis, anxiety, confusion, and nausea. Because they are dangerous, it is wise to avoid eating any wild mushrooms unless you know what type of mushroom you are dealing with.

Consuming Psilocybin (Magic) mushrooms

Mushrooms are generally quite delicious and have a delicate flavor. There is no way to make sure whether a particular mushroom tastes good or not until after you try it. However, if you think that you might have eaten a potentially deadly mushroom without knowing it, you should seek medical attention immediately.

Magic Mushrooms are consumed fresh, dried or brewed into a tea. Mushrooms are almost entirely water, a dose of fresh mushrooms will weigh around 10 times more than the same dose dried.

You cannot freeze Psilocybin (Magic) mushrooms, but you can dry them out and keep them in a jar. To prepare dried mushrooms, simply place them in a paper bag, seal it tightly, and let them air dry for several weeks. Once they are completely dry, you can store them in a glass container for later use.
