Can Microdosing Help With Pain Relief?
Chronic pain can be crippling, and common solutions for it aren’t exactly bulletproof. Why chip away at your pain problem with prescription meds that introduce 10 other problems of their own?
That’s exactly why a growing number of Canadians have been turning to microdosing mushrooms for pain relief. But scientists and skeptics alike are, well, skeptical. Can magic mushrooms really provide relief from chronic pain?
We’ll draw from clinical trials, revolutionary new theories, and real-world reports in hopes of finding an answer. Keep reading to learn more.

Chronic pain 101
The stats don’t lie (not in this case, anyway) — roughly 20% of the global population deals with chronic pain on a daily basis. [1]
The most common chronic pain conditions include:
- Low back pain
- Upper back pain
- Nerve-related pain
- “Widespread pain” like fibromyalgia
- Headaches
It’s estimated that 20% of people with chronic pain also experience common comorbidities like anxiety, depression, and brain fog. [2] Whether you’re in Canada, America, or practically any other developed nation . . . pain is a huge deal.
“Pain is this four-letter word that can mean so many different things,” affirms Vivianne Tawfik, an assistant professor of anesthesiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine. [3]
For something as widespread as it is, chronic pain is surprisingly poorly treated. Current treatment guidelines include NSAIDs, off-label antidepressants, and opioids — all of them can have harsh side effects. Even cutting-edge treatments like neuromodulation are often ineffective at addressing the root causes of pain. No wonder so many people with chronic pain conditions are switching over to alternative treatments!
Do psychedelics work for pain relief?
Speaking of alternative treatments, you’re probably already at least a little familiar with using things like CBD, cannabis, and ketamine for pain relief. But what about using psychedelics — specifically psilocybin mushrooms?
PSilocybin’s effects don’t stop with the psychedelic experience it evokes, after all. The very same neurochemical changes that fueled your last magic mushroom trip may also change the way your body deals with pain.
Slowly but surely, researchers are starting to realize that psychedelics like LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide ) and psilocybin mushrooms might be just the thing for chronic pain management. Studies are now being done to see how psilocybin and other psychedelics might treat chronic pain from:
- Fibromyalgia
- Cluster headaches
- Generalized chronic pain
- Cancer-related pain
- Phantom limb pain
- Neuropathic pain
Actually . . . this type of research is nothing new. Experts have been interested in the link between psychedelics and pain perception for over 50 years! Early studies from the 60s and 70s were already suggesting that psychedelic drugs could alleviate various types of pain.
A quick PubMed search will reveal that psychedelic research is picking back up again after decades of being practically outlawed. Psilocybin and other hallucinogens are finally being given the scientific validation they’ve always deserved. Even skeptics are admitting that psilocybin’s pain-relieving benefits are no mere placebo.
But how do psychedelics reduce pain? What’s their mechanism of action? The 5-HT2A serotonin receptor, which plays a key role in managing inflammation-related pain. 5-H2TA activation may be the primary cause of the analgesic effects some people experience from psychedelics. As psychedelic research continues to advance we should develop a more complete understanding of how they work.
Psychedelic self-medication is advancing, too. The stats show that this type of use makes up at least 14% of all psychedelic substance use. If you’re among the people who self-medicate shrooms for pain, sleep, stress, or other ailments, there’s no need to feel alone! [4]
Psychedelics may also improve pain perception in less direct ways. According to Stanford Medicine anesthesiologist Boris Heifets, psilocybin shrooms seem to change the way your mind and body relate to pain: “If these [psychedelic] drugs are going to help, it’s going to be much like the way we think they help for depression— [that is], changing your relationship to your pain.”
“Chronic pain is really just this comorbid snowball,” another expert affirms. “It’s not only the sensory abnormalities, but it’s also the depression, the anxiety, the sedentary lifestyle, the self-doubt, learned helplessness. It’s this whole thing.” [5]
Microdosing for pain, mental health, and more! Patient reports
If psilocybin is so good for pain relief, you might be thinking, then how can I tap into this type of relief in my own life?
So far the evidence points to microdosing as the best strategy — it allows users to access medicinal benefits, without runaway mental side effects.
A 2021 study involving otherwise healthy volunteers with chronic pain provides more detail on how helpful microdosing can be. Just as importantly, this study also highlighted why microdosing works so well. Here are some of its key findings. [6]
People who struggle with chronic pain often find conventional treatments ineffective:
“Contributors had been living with their pain for between two and 25 years and tried between two and 14 pain treatments [6.6 pain treatments on average!]”
Dealing with chronic pain can be incredibly depressing:
“All contributors reported co-morbid depression that was perceived to be closely linked to the intensity of their pain.”
“Contributors reported feelings of hopelessness, frustration, distress, anxiety, defeat, anger, pain feeling all-encompassing, and lack of control.”
Chronic pain and chronic stress go hand in hand:
“[Contributors] reported that specifically stress, both chronic and acute, contributed to pain severity. […Some] contributors reported that they felt chronic stress contributed to the development of their pain.”
Worst of all, chronic pain can even make you feel like you’re losing yourself.
“[My diagnosis] was really challenging. I worked closely with my therapist, and it was like navigating the different stages of grief… When I was diagnosed, to me it felt initially like my whole life was over. I didn’t know what my identity was anymore…I wasn’t sure if I was going to be wheelchair bound, if I was going to lose the use of my legs, what my life was going to look like.”
Now for the good news: microdosing with psilocybin may help. Every single one of this study’s contributors reported that their relationship with chronic pain improved in some way after microdosing. For many participants, this relationship improved in far more ways than one.
“I still experience pain,” one contributor explained, “but I experience it differently. Since I started microdosing mushrooms, I feel like it almost slows me down. I still have the same life stimuli coming at me, that hasn’t changed, but it’s allowed me to slow down and analyse the stimuli and then really think about how I want to react to it. That’s the same with my pain. When I have a flare-up of my pain, I really do feel like it’s allowed me to have a little more time, or maybe thought space to process. I think, “Okay, you’re hurting. What are the reasons? Is it because you did too much exercise or you sat down too long or is it emotional or stress based? How are we going to deal with this?”
For other contributors, the improvements caused by microdosing were more direct:
“(Acutely,) I don’t think of my pain any longer…I don’t focus into pain because it’s not there.”
“I remember getting up… and just being absolutely painless… I was standing up, perfectly upright, straight. Normally I can’t put any pressure whatsoever on the right side of my body… I use crutches and canes most of the time, but I haven’t for a few days.”
All in all, over 80 percent of this study’s contributors reported restored feelings of health. And an incredible 100 percent of all contributors reported improved mental well-being, positive reframing, and quality of life. These success rates are incredible — especially in the context of otherwise untreatable chronic pain.
If you have the time, check out the rest of the contributor reports here. In addition to being super insightful to anyone who’s currently dealing with pain, many of them are truly inspiring.
And if you have the desire to be pain-free, have hope. Not everyone who microdoses shrooms experiences complete pain relief, but some people do. And most people experience at least partial relief. So why not give it a shot? There’s much to be gained, and very little to lose . . .
What are Nootropic Mushrooms? And How They’re Different than Magic Mushrooms
The concept of using mushrooms as medicine goes way back.
But the concept of using mushrooms as mental medicine, specifically to boost creativity and productivity, is arguably newer. In the last few years a new wave of fungi-fueled nootropics – supplements designed to boost your brain — has risen to prominence within the larger health and wellness industry.
But what are nootropic mushrooms, exactly? And how are they different than magic mushrooms? In this article we’ll be covering these topics and more. As it turns out, sometimes nootropic mushrooms and shrooms of the magical variety are one and the same . . .

What are nootropic mushrooms? Cordyceps, Lion’s Mane mushroom, and more
To answer that question, let’s look at a short-but-sweet definition for the word nootropic. After all, words like ‘adaptogenic,’ nootropic,’ and ‘functional’ are thrown around so often these days that it can be a challenge to pin down their actual meaning. Anyways, here’s the definition:
Nootropic: a substance that enhances one’s cognition and memory and facilitates learning.
Here’s another way to think of it that may or may not be helpful. Nootropics are a type of adaptogen geared toward brain health, and adaptogens belong to the broader class of functional supplements.
Popular nootropics include:
- Stimulants like Ritalin
- OTC drugs like piracetam
- Amino acids like L-theanine
- Herbs like ginkgo biloba
- Everyday drinks like coffee and tea
Caffeine is probably the most widely used nootropic. There’s a lot to love about caffeine-rich drinks like coffee — its potential benefits include better muscular endurance, improved productivity, and faster reaction times. [1]
Nootropic mushrooms 101
Mushrooms are an impressively diverse group. They’re literally in a class of their own — apart from plants and animals – when it comes to their reproduction, composition, and post-ingestion effects. And while there are thousands of types of mushrooms out there, five types of mushrooms shine the brightest when it comes to nootropic activity:
- Lion’s mane mushroom
- Cordyceps
- Reishi
- Maitake
- Chaga
Research suggests that nootropic mushrooms work by boosting nerve growth factor, or NGF-1, which in turn boosts the repair, recycling, and new growth of nerve cells throughout the brain. Some nootropic mushrooms may also work by increasing oxygen uptake, allowing both body and mind to function faster and more efficiently.
Still other nootropic shrooms may stabilize your mood, reducing the highs and lows that might otherwise steal your joy and reduce your productivity. [2]
What gives nootropic mushrooms so many health benefits? What makes them so adept at improving your well-being? In short, they contain tons of bioactive. Most adaptogenic/nootropic shrooms possess their own unique blend of beta-glucans, polysaccharides, polyphenols, triterpenes, and other antioxidants. Such ingredient diversity gives shrooms the ability to improve health without many side effects. [3]
Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s look at common brain-boosting shrooms one by one.
Lion’s Mane mushroom
Lion’s Mane mushroom is probably the most famous cognitive-enhancing mushroom of all. Known and loved (and named!) for its characteristically shaggy appearance. Lion’s Mane has been prized by Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years. So much so that monks drank yamabushitake, or Lion’s Mane tea, to make their meditation sessions even more fruitful! [4]
Lion’s Mane mushroom contains several known nootropic compounds, including erinacines that boost the growth of new neurons by stimulating nerve growth factor. One 2009 study found that Lion’s Mane reduced cognitive impairment in senior adults. [5]
Meanwhile, mycologist Paul Stamets calls Lion’s Mane the “second smartest mushroom in the world.” (After psilocybin, of course . . . but more on this medicinal mushroom later.)
Cordyceps mushrooms
Cordyceps is another highly popular mushroom supplement.
Used by athletes to boost energy, recovery, muscle oxygenation, and more, cordyceps are as practical as they are functional — even less-than-athletic people can benefit from cordyceps supplementation. Their ability to improve oxygen levels within the bloodstream mean they may improve cognition in virtually everybody. No placebo effect here! [6]
Reishi mushrooms
Reishi is probably one of the best mushrooms out there for brain health. It may alleviate a whole slew of conditions related to neuro-wear-and-tear, including:
- Emotional fatigue
- Mental fatigue
- Brain fog
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Alzheimer’s
Interesting side note: is it any coincidence that the mycelium networks mushrooms rely on for growth look so much like the neurotransmitter networks within the human brain? far-from-equilibrium thermodynamicists like Dr. Bob Melamede think not!
Maitake mushroom
Maitake may be slightly less well-studied than some of the other nootropic shrooms we’ve mentioned here, but don’t let that stop you from giving this one a try! Some research shows that maitake may reduce depressive symptoms, regulate cholesterol, and reduce high blood pressure. It may also benefit your immune system. [7]
Chaga mushroom
Chaga is a mushroom that can be found surprisingly close to home — you might find it growing on birch trees throughout many parts of Canada.
Chaga is incredibly rich in inflammation-fighting antioxidants, scoring above nearly all fruits, veggies, and herbs on the ORAC antioxidant scale. No wonder it’s being researched for its immune-boosting, pain-relieving qualities. And true to its nootropic status, chaga is also good for mental clarity.
Is psilocybin actually a nootropic mushroom?
And now for this article’s most important question of all: is psilocybin included in our list of nature’s best nootropic mushrooms?
new research says yes. A recent study from Imperial College London’s Centre for Psychedelic Research has found that the psilocybin component of magic mushrooms can ‘open up’ depressed people’s minds — a benefit that remains for up to three weeks after one’s last use.
This opening up effect was associated with reduced rates of depression and improved brain connectivity — something not seen with conventional antidepressant meds. Translation? Psilocybin could help the break break out of rigid, restricted ruts. [7]
Other studies are echoing this one’s findings as we speak. If things continue the way they have been, psilocybin mushrooms could soon become a new golden standard for mental health treatments.
“In previous studies we had seen a similar effect in the brain when people were scanned whilst on a psychedelic,” explained the paper’s senior author, Professor Robin Carhart-Harris. “But here we’re seeing it weeks after treatment for depression, which suggests a ‘carry over’ of the acute drug action.”
Perhaps Imperial Centre professor David Nutt said it best:
“These findings are important because for the first time, we find that psilocybin works differently from conventional antidepressants — making the brain more flexible and fluid, and less entrenched in the negative thinking patterns associated with depression. This supports our initial predictions and confirms psilocybin could be a real alternative approach to depression treatments.”
How to microdose psilocybin for maximum nootropic benefits
Ready to experience the nootropic + psychedelic benefits of magic mushrooms for yourself? If so, our Nootropic Magic Mushroom Capsules might be a smart choice (pun possibly intended).
One of our most popular nootropic supplements takes things a step further by combining psilocybin with the Lion’s Mane mushroom we mentioned earlier. Take one capsule every day (or as often as every 2-4 hours) to max out your day’s creativity, productivity, and enjoyment. You might just find yourself treasuring the little things in life again.
The full active ingredients list includes:
- 100mg Lion’s Mane
- 150mg green tea extract
- 50mg ginger root
- 50mg niacin
And if you’re wondering how to best take high-quality magic mushrooms to max out their nootropic qualities, here’s what we recommend:
- 1 dose per day for 4 days followed by a 3-day break, or
- 1 dose per day for 2 days followed by a 2-day break
What the people are saying about our mushroom supplements
But don’t just take it from us. Theory isn’t useful unless it can be translated into practice anyway! Here’s what people say about our nootropic supplements.
“Only a few days in, I feel energized and more motivated to work. You don’t really feel the buzz, which is great for day to day use. I’m curious to see if it’s going to make a difference on the long term. Let’s see!”
Meanwhile, Melissa is new to microdosing but loves it so far:
“First time buying these mushrooms. Bought 3 packs at once. I’m new to microdosing and these mushrooms gave me more of an enlightenment and boost compared to others. I will definitely be buying more in the future.”
And Rachel super loves the results she’s been getting:
“I’m super loving the microdose! I will be re-ordering this product again soon. It improves my mood and creativity. I look forward to dosing. It reduces my desire to overeat or to drink booze. It creates a very pleasant state of being, and without any smoking. Thank you.”
Do Shrooms Go Bad? Learn How Long You Can Store Them
Do shrooms go bad? Explore expert insights on the optimal storage duration for an enduring magic mushroom experience.
The popularity of psychedelic mushrooms has been growing over the years, and with it has come an increased interest in understanding the shelf life and storage of these powerful fungi. For anyone curious about psychedelic mushrooms, it can be difficult to uncover the truth: do shrooms go bad over time? The answer is more complex than one might think.
The truth is that, while many fungi are known to spoil and go bad over time, psychedelic mushrooms do not. Psychedelic mushrooms, which can include species like Psilocybe cubensis, Panaeolus cyanescens, and Psilocybe semilanceata, contain psilocybin, the active compound responsible for their psychedelic effects. This compound is relatively stable when stored properly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or sources of moisture.
Are you curious about psychedelic mushrooms, or want to know how to properly store them? Here, you’ll find all the information you need on psychedelic mushrooms, ensuring that your mushrooms stay fresh and potent. You can make sure your shrooms remain safe and effective for their full shelf life!
Factors Influencing The Shelf Life Of Shrooms
A number of factors affect the shelf life of mushrooms. These factors include the environment in which mushrooms are stored (such as temperature, humidity, and light exposure), the type of mushroom, the age of the mushroom when harvested, and the type of storage container. In order for shrooms to remain potent and viable, it is important to understand the impact of these factors and take steps to ensure that mushrooms are stored in the proper environment.
Harvesting Time
Harvesting shrooms at the wrong time can greatly reduce their potency, making them less effective as a psychedelic. Harvesting too early will result in the mushrooms not reaching their full strength and potency while harvesting too late will result in the mushrooms being overly mature and potentially losing much of their psychedelic properties. Proper timing of harvesting is extremely important in ensuring that the mushrooms stay potent for their full shelf life and provide a reliable psychedelic experience for users.
When harvesting mushrooms, it is important to pay close attention to the mushroom’s development and observe when the cap has opened fully and the stem has grown to the appropriate size. In some cases, harvesting after the mushrooms have sporulated can also be beneficial, as the mushrooms may be even more potent after this stage.
Oxygen Exposure
Prolonged exposure to oxygen can cause degradation of the compounds found in mushrooms, leading to a decrease in the potency of the psychedelic properties within them. Oxygen can also cause oxidation, which can lead to a breakdown of the mushrooms’ constituents, including their active compounds. As a result, it is important to ensure that the mushrooms are stored in a sealed container and protected from oxygen exposure in order to preserve their full strength and potency. In addition, it is important to ensure that the mushrooms are consumed within a reasonable time frame, as prolonged oxygen exposure can lead to a decrease in their potency.
Container Selection
The selection of an appropriate container for storing psychedelic mushrooms is an important factor in preserving their potency. Different types of mushrooms require different types of containers, such as dried, edible, and tea. For dried mushrooms, airtight containers that are dark and cool are ideal. This prevents oxygen exposure and keeps out moisture, so the mushrooms can last longer. Edible mushrooms should be stored in a container that is moisture-proof, such as a zip-top bag or vacuum-sealed packaging. This will help preserve the freshness of the mushrooms for longer and also prevent them from becoming contaminated. Tea mushroom preparations need a container that provides an airtight seal. This will not only help keep out oxygen but also ensure that the tea remains fresh and potent for as long as possible. By selecting the appropriate containers for storing psychedelic mushrooms, users can ensure that the mushrooms retain their potency for as long as possible.
Freezing And Refrigeration
It is, however, imperative to avoid freezing fresh mushrooms. Freezing fresh mushrooms can degrade their active compounds and ruin their texture because the water inside them will freeze and destroy their cells. The optimal storage temperature for fresh, edible mushrooms is typically around 4 °C. It’s important to avoid temperatures below 0 °C, as it can lead to cold damage. Additionally, temperature can impact enzyme activity and subsequently affect the spoilage of mushrooms. At higher temperatures, such as 25 °C, the rate of deterioration of mushrooms increases. This can result in a decrease in mushroom quality, a shorter shelf life, and the formation of off-flavors.
If you decide to freeze your mushrooms, you should dry them completely before you store them in the freezer; otherwise, you’ll diminish their potency. Freezing shrooms with moisture in them can cause their cells to rupture, which will subsequently reduce the active compounds in the shroom and affect its flavor and texture. Drying shrooms helps to reduce the water content of the shroom and can prevent cell damage when the shrooms are stored in the freezer.
Mycelial Contamination
Mycelial contamination is a form of fungal or mold contamination that affects the quality and safety of psychedelic mushrooms. This contamination is caused by the presence of mycelium, a network of fungal strands that can spread quickly and contaminate the mushrooms. This contamination can lead to a decrease in the mushrooms’ potency, altered flavor, and off-flavors.
Mycelial contamination can also cause the mushrooms to become unsafe to consume, as the presence of the mycelium can affect the safety of the mushrooms. In addition, mycelial contamination can cause the mushrooms to spoil more quickly and reduce their shelf life.
Signs Of Spoiled Mushrooms
It is important to be able to identify signs of spoiled psychedelic mushrooms for user safety. If left unchecked, mycelial contamination can cause the mushrooms to become unsafe to consume. Identification of signs of spoiled mushrooms can prevent adverse side effects and ensure user safety. Common signs of spoiled mushrooms include a change in color, texture, or smell; a sticky or slimy surface; and a moldy, musty odor. It is important to discard any mushrooms that show signs of spoilage, as consuming them can cause adverse side effects.
Discoloration
Discoloration is one of the most common signs of spoiled psychedelic mushrooms. Discoloration can range from a slight darkening or browning of the mushroom’s cap and stem to an overall change in color to an unusual hue. For example, mushrooms that have gone bad may become yellow, orange, green, or even black. When examining mushrooms, it is important to note any color changes that seem suspicious and discard the mushrooms if any discoloration is observed.
Texture Alterations
Texture alterations are another common sign of spoiled psychedelic mushrooms. As the mushrooms age, they can become slimy or mushy to the touch. This sliminess or mushiness may result from the mushroom’s exposure to moisture and an increase in bacterial growth. The mushrooms may also become brittle and break apart easily when handled. If a mushroom feels slimy, mushy, or brittle, it is best to discard it.
Mold Growth
Mold growth is a clear sign of spoilage in psychedelic mushrooms and should be avoided. Different types of mold can develop on the mushrooms in the form of powdery patches, fuzzy spots, or other discolorations. Depending on the type of mold, consuming contaminated shrooms can lead to a variety of health issues, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or even liver failure. It is important to note that some types of mold can be toxic, even in small amounts, so it is best to discard any mushrooms with visible mold growth.
Unpleasant Smell
Fresh psychedelic mushrooms have an earthy, mushroomy smell. It is not overly strong, but it will remind you of a damp, cool forest or a mushroom farm. The smell should be pleasant and not overpowering. If the smell is off-putting or overly acrid, then the mushrooms may have gone bad and should be discarded. If you come across psychedelic mushrooms that have an unpleasant, off-putting smell or any sign of mold growth, discard them immediately. It is better to be safe than sorry when it comes to consuming fungus.
Off-Taste
Tasting mushrooms directly is not recommended, as they can be quite bitter. However, if users notice any unusual or off-tastes, this could indicate spoilage. It is important to use caution and discard any mushrooms that have any strange flavors or off-tastes, as this can indicate that they have gone bad or are no longer safe to consume. The taste of dried mushrooms is usually not as strong or overpowering. If the taste is too strong, the mushrooms may have gone bad and should be discarded.
Insect Infestation
Infestations can lead to the deterioration of mushrooms and pose health risks. If users notice any insects or larvae on the mushrooms, they should discard them immediately. Insect infestations can cause extensive damage to fungal tissue and cause the mushrooms to spoil quickly. Additionally, these infestations can contain bacteria and other pathogens that can cause food poisoning. It is important to thoroughly inspect mushrooms for any signs of infestation, such as insect remains or eggs, before consuming them.
Changes In Psychedelic Effects
Consuming spoiled shrooms may result in diminished or altered psychedelic effects due to the presence of bacteria and other pathogens. Over time, these pathogens can cause the mushrooms to break down and produce toxins, which can render the psychedelic effects useless or even cause negative side effects. These toxins can also cause nausea, headaches, and other health problems. Furthermore, consuming spoiled mushrooms may also increase the risk of food poisoning, which can cause severe reactions and even be life-threatening. Therefore, it is important to only consume fresh, high-quality mushrooms here to ensure that the psychedelic effects are not diminished or altered due to spoilage.
Optimal Storage Conditions
The optimal storage conditions for psychedelic mushrooms vary depending on the species and environment. There are a few general guidelines, however, that can help maintain the freshness and potency of psychedelic mushrooms. Whether you want to store dried mushrooms, edible mushrooms, or magic mushroom teas, the following tips will help you keep them as potent as possible.
Cool, Dark, And Dry Environment
Psychedelic mushrooms must be stored in a cool, dark, and dry place to ensure that they remain fresh and potent. Ideally, the temperature should be around 50 to 59 degrees Fahrenheit and should not exceed 60 degrees Fahrenheit. This is because higher temperatures can lead to the breakdown of the mushrooms’ active compounds, resulting in decreased potency. Additionally, the environment should be dark, as bright light can cause the mushrooms to lose their potency as well. Finally, it is important to store the mushrooms in a climate that is relatively dry in order to prevent them from becoming moldy or spoiled. With the right conditions, you can ensure that your mushrooms will remain as potent as possible.
Proper Drying
There are numerous ways to dry your mushrooms, and you should choose one of the following depending on the results you’re looking for and the equipment you own. Shrooms can be fan-dried, air-dried, oven-dried, or dehydrated. Fan drying is a great way to preserve the potency of your mushrooms by utilizing a fan to blow the air over them. Air drying involves letting the mushrooms sit for a few days in an area with good air circulation and low humidity. Oven drying is also an effective method of drying mushrooms, but you need to be careful to monitor the temperature so that the mushrooms do not get too hot. Finally, dehydrating is an excellent way to preserve mushrooms for extended periods of time, as they can be stored for several months in this state. With the right drying technique, you can ensure that your mushrooms will remain as potent and fresh as possible.
Avoid Moisture
Trying to keep mushrooms dry is the best way to ensure that they stay fresh. Excess moisture can cause them to spoil quickly, so be sure to store any mushrooms in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If you’re using a refrigerator or other closed storage container, make sure it has plenty of ventilation to prevent fungi from growing on the mushrooms. Additionally, avoid washing your mushrooms unless absolutely necessary; if you do need to clean them, use a damp cloth instead of water.
Avoid Plastic Bags
Do not store magic mushrooms in plastic bags. Plastic can trap moisture and cause the mushrooms to go bad quickly. Instead, use paper or cloth bags that allow for air circulation. If you must use a plastic bag, make sure it is well-vented, and never leave your mushrooms in direct sunlight.
Protection From Contaminants
It is important to store your mushrooms away from strong-smelling substances and potential contaminants to prevent them from absorbing the smell or becoming contaminated. A good way to do this is to store them in an airtight container, either plastic or glass, with a lid that is tightly sealed. Additionally, if you have multiple types of mushrooms stored in the same container, make sure to keep them separate to prevent cross-contamination. If using a refrigerator, avoid storing food items with strong odors close to the mushrooms, as this can cause the mushrooms to absorb the smell.
Labeling
It is important to label storage containers with the date of harvest and the strain of the magic mushrooms for two reasons. Firstly, properly labeling the containers allows for easier tracking of the mushrooms’ freshness and potential contamination. Additionally, for strains of magic mushrooms that are similar in appearance, labeling can help you differentiate between them and ensure that you are using the correct strain for any specific uses. This is especially helpful when using dried mushrooms, as the appearance of the mushrooms can be drastically different due to the drying process.

How Long Do Mushrooms Take To Kick In Your Body?
Unlock the secrets of psychedelics with insights into how long mushrooms take to kick in, guiding you on a safe exploration.
Magic mushrooms are becoming increasingly popular for their psychoactive properties. These mushrooms, also known as psilocybin mushrooms, contain a naturally occurring psychoactive compound that produces a range of effects on the brain, including altered states of consciousness, altered perception of time, and intense visual and auditory hallucinations. While the effects of magic mushrooms vary depending on dosage, it is important to recognize the onset time for a safe and enjoyable experience. Onset time describes the period between consuming the mushrooms and the onset of effects, which can range from 15 minutes to two hours. Knowing how long the effects of the mushrooms will take to kick in can help you plan your experience and ensure a safe and pleasurable trip.
What Factors Influence How Quickly Mushrooms Kick In?
The main factor that determines how quickly magic mushrooms take effect is the dosage. Generally, if you take a higher dose, the effects will be stronger and kick in quicker. Other factors include certain individual factors and tolerance.
Dosage
The non-linear relationship between dosage and onset time means that as the dosage increases, the time it takes for the mushrooms to take effect decreases, but only up to a certain point. After that point, the time does not decrease any further. This can be seen most clearly when comparing the onset times of microdoses and higher doses. A micro-dose is a sub-perceptual amount of mushrooms taken every 2-3 days to boost creativity or feel less anxious. As with any dose, the effects will vary depending on factors such as weight, metabolism, and individual sensitivity. In comparison, higher doses of magic mushrooms can take effect in as little as a few hours or minutes. This is because the smaller dose is absorbed more slowly, allowing the effects to build up over time. The effects of a microdose are more subtle than those of a higher dose and, as such, they may not be as pronounced or long-lasting.
Individual Factors
Metabolism is one of the main factors that can influence how quickly an individual experiences the effects of magic mushrooms. An individual’s metabolism affects the rate at which they absorb and process substances, including psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms. A person with a faster metabolism may find that the effects of their dose start to be felt sooner than somebody with a slower metabolism. Similarly, body weight can also affect how quickly individuals experience the effects of magic mushrooms; lighter individuals tend to feel them more quickly than heavier individuals since less metabolic energy is needed to break down and absorb a given amount of psilocybin. Additionally, individual sensitivity plays a role; some people may experience stronger or longer-lasting effects from even small doses due to their greater sensitivity.
Tolerance
When a person takes the same dose of mushrooms, they may not experience the same effects as before. With repeated use, the body will become desensitized to the effects of the mushroom, leading to a reduced effect. Regular use of magic mushrooms can lead to the development of tolerance. With frequent use, the body will become used to the effects of psilocybin, leading to a reduced effect or complete loss of effects from the same dose. It is important to note that tolerance can build up quickly, so users should be mindful of how often they are using magic mushrooms.
To manage tolerance and its impact on onset times, users can take breaks between doses or switch to a different form of mushroom. This can help manage tolerance and ensure that the desired effects are achieved at each dose. Additionally, users can try different doses and take smaller amounts over a longer period of time, which can help restore sensitivity. Keeping track of your usage can also help to manage tolerance and ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
What Are The Typical Onset Times For Different Mushrooms?
The onset time for magic mushrooms can vary from species to species, but typically starts within 10-30 minutes after ingestion. The effects can peak anywhere between 1-3 hours and last up to 6 hours, depending on the amount ingested.
Psilocybe Cubensis
An average dose of dried Psilocybe cubensis is between 1 and 2 grams, while an intermediate dose might be between 2 and 3.5 grams. Experienced users might try between 3.5 and 5 grams. Taking larger doses increases the intensity and duration of the experience but can also lead to an increased risk of adverse side effects. It’s important to start off with a low dose and slowly increase it until the desired effects are achieved. It’s also advised to wait several days or weeks in between high doses to allow the body to adjust and reset. It’s important to remember that everyone is different and will experience different effects even at the same dose.
Psilocybe Semilanceata (Liberty Cap)
The typical onset time for Psilocybe semilanceata, or Liberty Cap, is about 30-45 minutes after ingestion. This is usually shorter than the onset time of other mushroom varieties, which can range from 45 minutes to 1 hour. The intensity of the experience can vary depending on the dose taken, with higher doses typically resulting in a more intense and longer-lasting experience. It’s important to note that the onset time for Liberty Caps may be shorter than other varieties. This is likely due to its high concentration of psilocybin, the primary active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms. Therefore, it’s recommended to start with a lower dose to gauge the effects before gradually increasing it.
Amanita Muscaria
The onset experience of Amanita Muscaria is distinctive in that it typically has a faster onset than other varieties. This is due to its high concentration of muscimol, the primary active ingredient in the mushroom. The onset time can vary from 15-30 minutes, making it a quicker onset than other varieties. Additionally, the intensity of the experience can be more intense and longer-lasting due to the high concentration of muscimol. This makes it important to start with a lower dose to gauge the effects before gradually increasing it. Additionally, individual body chemistry and tolerance levels can also affect the onset time and intensity of the experience.
Psilocybe Azurescens
The onset time for Psilocybe azurescens is typically slower than that of Amanita muscaria, with effects kicking in at around 30-60 minutes. At the onset, users typically experience mild tingling sensations that can quickly lead to feelings of euphoria as well as physical and mental relaxation. It is important to note that these effects are not as intense when compared to Amanita Muscaria, making it a good option for those just starting out with psychedelics. Additionally, users may experience vivid visual and auditory hallucinations, though these tend to subside as the onset period passes.
How Long Do They Stay In The System?
The average duration of effects for magic mushrooms is between four and six hours. During this time, users typically experience mild-to-moderate physical and mental relaxation, with intense visual and auditory hallucinations and feelings of euphoria. The experience peaks around three to four hours after ingestion, with the effects slowly tapering off as the come-down period begins. It is important to note that these effects may be reduced if the user takes shroom capsules or other processed forms of Psilocybe cubensis, as these generally take longer to kick in than eating them whole. On average, it takes about 30 minutes for shrooms to kick in, if you are eating them whole or if you are taking shroom capsules. You can start feeling the effects of shrooms in as little as ten minutes, though, and sometimes it can take up to an hour. The come-up usually continues for two hours; you peak around three to four hours after ingesting, and you come down between four and six hours. It is important to note that individual experiences may vary significantly and these times may not be exact for every user.
What Tips Can Help Manage The Onset Of Mushroom Effects?
For a smoother onset of mushroom effects, it is important to practice mindful consumption. Set aside some time and find somewhere comfortable so that you can relax both mentally and physically.
Set And Setting
Timothy Leary first introduced the concept of “set and setting” in 1964—a term that is now ubiquitous throughout the psychedelic world. This concept emphasizes the importance of being mindful and intentional when taking psychedelics. It encourages the user to consider their mindset (set) and the physical environment (setting) in which they will be consuming the drug. Without this focus on internal and external preparation, one’s psychedelic journey is at the mercy of whatever happens to emerge—physically, socially, or emotionally—throughout the experience.
Mindset And Intention
Having an open and positive mindset when embarking on a psychedelic journey is essential for a successful and meaningful experience. A positive mindset can help set the tone for the journey, as it can help reduce any anxiety or fear that may arise and open the mind to the possibilities of the experience. Similarly, setting clear intentions for the journey can also help create a more meaningful experience. Entering the experience with a clear and well-defined intention can help direct the course of the journey and provide focus throughout the experience. The power of mindset and intention shouldn’t be underestimated. It can help foster more meaningful connections between the internal and external environment, allowing the individual to connect to the experience on a deeper level.
Start With A Low Dose
When beginning with psychedelics, especially for those new to the experience, it is important to start with a lower dose. It is recommended to consume between 0.8 – 1 g for an individual’s first time, as this will provide the individual with an opportunity to become more accustomed to the effects of the psychedelic. Psychedelics are powerful substances and it is important to take the time to understand the power of psychedelics before fully engaging in the experience. Taking a lower dose can also help to reduce the risk of any negative reactions and can provide the individual with a more comfortable and safe first experience.
Have A Trusted Trip Sitter
Having a trusted trip sitter present during a psychedelic experience is essential. A trip sitter is someone whose role is to provide support, reassurance, and assistance during the onset, while the individual is under the influence of the psychedelic. A trip sitter should be well-educated on the effects of psychedelics and possess the ability to stay calm and composed during any unexpected occurrences. It is important to select a trip sitter who is able to provide a safe and supportive environment, such as a close friend or family member.
Stay Hydrated And Nourished
The use of psychedelics can cause the body to sweat and deplete fluids. It is important to ensure that the individual stays hydrated during the experience, as dehydration can lead to unpleasant physical effects. Staying nourished with a light snack before and after the psychedelic session will also help ease any potential stomach discomfort or nausea.
Follow A Safe Passage Into The World Of Mushrooms!
When taking mushrooms, the effects will usually begin to take hold within 30 minutes and can last anywhere from 4-6 hours. It is important to be prepared and take the necessary precautions before consuming mushrooms and during the experience. To ensure the best and safest experience, it is recommended to select a trip sitter, stay hydrated and nourished, and follow a safe passage into the world of mushrooms.

History Of Penis Envy Mushrooms
The Penis Envy mushroom has its roots in the Colombian Amazon rainforest, where it was first discovered in the mid-1970s. Indigenous tribes of the region have long used it as an entheogen, utilizing its psychedelic properties in religious ceremonies and spiritual rituals.

Penis envy mushrooms are known to have some of the highest levels of psilocybin and psilocin of any species of mushroom, making them one of the most potent types of mushrooms available.
The Penis Envy mushroom is a hybrid species, created by combining two other species of psilocybin mushrooms: the Amazonian cubensis and the blue meanie.

Those who use them to meditate can gain a greater appreciation and understanding of the natural world around them, which can help to calm and relax the mind. Additionally, the euphoria associated with consuming them can help to lift the mood and can provide a sense of mental clarity and focus. This can be especially beneficial for those managing depression, as it can help to break free from negative thought patterns and can bring a sense of joy and connection to the user. Furthermore, the vivid visuals and mental stimulation of penis envy mushrooms can be used to help manage stress levels, as they can help to take the user’s mind off of whatever is causing the stress.
Enhance Cognitive Performance
The active compounds in penis envy mushrooms can offer a range of cognitive benefits. For example, they can improve focus and alertness, allowing users to concentrate on tasks more easily and efficiently. They may help to improve memory and learning, as research suggests that the compounds in the mushrooms can have a positive effect on the hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for memory and learning. Furthermore, penis envy mushrooms can boost cognitive performance by increasing creativity, allowing users to come up with new ideas and solutions more readily. Consuming penis envy mushrooms may help to reduce mental fatigue, allowing users to work for longer periods of time without experiencing any cognitive decline.
Ego Dissolution

By calming the mind, the mushrooms can help reduce the ego’s influence, allowing users to become more conscious and aware of their thoughts, feelings, and actions. This can help users develop a sense of inner peace and self-acceptance, allowing them to let go of their ego and become more connected to the universe. When used correctly, penis envy mushrooms can be a powerful tool for ego dissolution and spiritual growth.
Spiritual Enlightenment
Consuming penis envy mushrooms can provide significant spiritual benefits and promote a sense of spiritual awakening, self-realization, and inner peace. Through their calming effects, the mushrooms can help reduce mental chatter and allow users to experience a greater sense of clarity and insight. This can lead to a greater understanding of one’s own inner life and provide users with a connection to forces and energies outside of themselves. Users can also become more in tune with the universe and see the interconnectedness of all things. Additionally, the mushrooms can help foster a greater sense of self-acceptance and inner peace, allowing users to be more mindful of their actions and recognize the interconnectedness of their lives with those of the world.
What Are The Risks And Side Effects Of Penis Envy Mushrooms?
The potential negative effects on mental and physical health when consuming Penis Envy Mushrooms can be serious. The factors influencing adverse reactions, such as dosage, age, and individual sensitivity, should be taken into consideration when consuming such mushrooms. For instance, a user’s age can affect their sensitivity to the mushrooms, as younger people may be more vulnerable to potential negative effects. Additionally, taking too high a dose can also cause adverse reactions, such as increased heart rate, nausea, and even hallucinations. It is vital that proper guidance and supervision be taken when using these mushrooms, as well as consulting with a medical professional before consumption.
Furthermore, caution should be taken when combining psychedelic drugs with other substances, such as alcohol or other drugs, as this could increase the risk of potential harm. Ultimately, while consuming penis envy mushrooms can be beneficial for many, it is imperative to be aware of the potential risks and to use them responsibly.
Safety & Legalities Of Taking Penis Envy Mushrooms
When consuming penis mushrooms, it is important to take safety measures to ensure a safe experience. This includes taking the proper dosage, starting with a lower dose and gradually increasing it, and ensuring that the mushrooms have been properly identified and stored. Additionally, it is important to have a sober and experienced guide present when consuming psychedelic drugs, as they can provide support and help mitigate potential risks. It is also advised to refrain from driving or operating machinery after using the mushrooms, as they can cause impairment.
In Canada, psilocybin was recently granted permission for use in end-of-life therapy, as researchers have seen promising results with the use of these therapies to help reduce anxiety and depression in those facing life-threatening illnesses. This is just the beginning, however, as there is still much work to be done in order to better understand the potential therapeutic benefits of psilocybin. Research studies and clinical trials suggest that traditional psychedelics, such as mushrooms, have the potential to radically improve our understanding of mental health issues. Moreover, they may even help to cure problems such as anxiety, addiction, and PTSD.

Mood Enhancement
The main benefit of drinking mushroom tea is its ability to improve moods and reduce stress. Studies have shown that psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, can significantly reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety in a single dose. In addition to reducing stress and improving mood, consuming mushroom tea may also increase creativity. This is due to the way psychedelics act on certain parts of the brain associated with creative thinking.
Increased Energy And Focus
Mushroom tea made with forest blend ingredients such as transkei and golden teacher can be particularly beneficial for those seeking an energy and focus boost. These types of mushrooms contain compounds that can help increase alertness and reduce fatigue. Additionally, they may also improve cognitive performance and motivation, making them ideal for students and professionals who need to stay focused and alert throughout the day. Furthermore, consuming such mushroom tea regularly may also offer a number of long-term benefits, such as improved mental clarity and enhanced creativity.
Immune System Support
Mushrooms also have a number of compounds that can help boost the immune system. For example, they often contain beta-glucans, which are polysaccharides that have been proven to help protect against infection and reduce inflammation. Additionally, certain mushrooms have been found to contain compounds like ergothioneine and glutathione, which can help protect cells from oxidative stress and free radical damage. Thus, consuming mushroom tea regularly may help improve overall immunity and ward off common illnesses.
Antioxidant Properties
For centuries, mushrooms have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for their antioxidant properties. They are known to contain compounds that can help protect cells from free radical damage and oxidative stress, both of which can lead to numerous chronic diseases. Additionally, certain types of mushrooms may even contain more antioxidants than other vegetables. Thus, making mushroom tea or adding it to other dishes can help provide your body with powerful protection against cellular damage and disease.
Improved Cognitive Function
Mushrooms have been studied for their potential to improve cognitive function in humans, with some studies showing that certain types may even help improve memory and other aspects of brain health. For example, some mushrooms, such as penis envy or golden teacher, contain compounds that may help enhance cognitive performance, and research suggests that they can help increase mental clarity and memory. Moreover, some of these compounds have also been shown to help protect the brain from age-related decline and other neurological disorders. By consuming mushroom tea regularly, you may be able to reduce cognitive decline and enhance your overall brain health.
Ingredients And Equipment Required To Make Mushroom Tea
To make magic mushroom tea, you will need the following ingredients and equipment:
Ingredients

- Fresh or dried mushrooms of your choice (e.g. golden teacher)
- Hot water
- Honey or other sweetener (optional)
Equipment
You’ll also need the following equipment:
- Stovetop/cooker
- A tea kettle or pot for boiling water
- Strainer and/or cheesecloth
- Cup(s) for serving your tea
Step-By-Step Guide To Brewing Mushroom Tea
When making mushroom tea, the process is quite simple. Follow these steps to make your own cup of magic mushroom tea:
Choose Your Mushrooms
When choosing the mushrooms for your tea, there are several types of magic mushrooms available, so choose whatever you feel most comfortable with. Popular mushrooms for teas include psilocybin mushrooms, such as transkei and liberty caps, as well as golden teacher mushrooms. Make sure to purchase mushrooms from a reputable source and only use them as directed.
Prepare The Mushrooms
Once you have chosen your mushrooms, prepare them for the tea. Tear or cut the mushrooms into smaller pieces. This will help them to steep more effectively while also releasing more of their active compounds and medicinal properties. If you have a dehydrator, you can also dry the mushrooms before making the tea. This will ensure that all the beneficial compounds are adequately released and absorbed into the liquid.
Select Your Tea Base
Once you have chosen your tea base, make sure to use an organic, high-quality product. Green tea, black tea, and herbal blends are all suitable options depending on individual preference. Green tea is known for its antioxidant properties, while black tea can provide a more robust flavor. Herbal blends are a great way to customize the taste of your mushroom tea to your own liking.
Opt For Tea Bags
You can quickly and easily make mushroom teas by using tea bags. This is an ideal option for making a large batch of tea, as it minimizes preparation time without sacrificing the health benefits of the mushrooms. Tea bags can also help to ensure that you get the maximum amount of medicinal properties from the mushrooms, as the small surface area of the tea bag helps to release more of their active compounds. Additionally, the tea bags can be infused with additional medicinal herbs or spices to create a unique and flavorful tea.
Boil Water
When making mushroom tea, it is important to boil the water for the right amount of time. Boiling the water for too long can result in the mushroom tea having a bitter taste while boiling it for not long enough can result in a weak taste. Generally, the water should be boiled for 3-5 minutes for a robust-flavored tea. To ensure that all of the active compounds from the mushrooms are released, the tea should be steeped for at least 10 minutes after boiling. This will help to ensure that the tea is flavorful and retains all of the medicinal properties of the mushrooms.
Infuse With Hot Water
Toss the dried mushrooms into a large mug or tea cup, then pour hot water over them. Allow the tea to steep for at least 10 minutes before removing the mushrooms and enjoying. Or you can use readymade magic mushroom tea bags that are mixed with different mushroom and tea bases, such as mint chocolate rooibos, brain brew, visionary brew, and intimate brew magic mushroom teas.
Add Flavor Enhancers (Optional)
You can also add flavor enhancers like ginger, lemon, or honey to the tea to make it more enjoyable. Ginger can help to bring out the flavors of the mushrooms, while lemon can add a refreshing zing. Honey can provide a sweet flavor that helps to cut through the earthy notes of the mushrooms and can even provide some added health benefits. Mix and match these flavor enhancers to find the perfect combination for your taste.
Strain The Tea
Once the tea is finished brewing, you should strain it to remove any solids using a fine mesh strainer or tea infuser. If using a strainer, be sure to hold it over a cup or bowl to catch any liquid. Once it is strained, you can enjoy your mushroom tea. If you’d like, you can add a few more flavor enhancers to the strained tea. You can also add a sweetener or milk as desired. Enjoy your delicious, freshly brewed mushroom tea!
Tea Pairings
For a truly enjoyable experience, pair your mushroom tea with some other delicious items.
Dark Chocolate Delights
For an extra special treat, pair your freshly brewed mushroom tea with some high-quality dark chocolate. The rich flavors of the tea and the sweetness of the chocolate make a luxurious combination that is sure to leave you satisfied. Dark chocolate is also packed with antioxidants, so you’ll be getting an added health benefit while indulging your taste buds.
Citrus Zest And Fresh Fruits
For an extra zesty experience, add a slice of lemon or orange to your freshly brewed mushroom tea. The citrus notes will give the tea a bright, refreshing kick that will help to balance out the earthy flavor of the mushrooms. Enjoy the delightful combination of citrus and mushrooms as you sip your tea. Pair it with a few slices of fresh fruit for an even more enjoyable experience.
Nutty Indulgences
Toasted nuts are an excellent way to add a satisfying crunch to your mushroom tea. Almonds or walnuts provide a rich, nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the earthy mushrooms. You can even add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the mix for an extra layer of indulgence. Enjoy the combination of warm spices and crunchy nuts paired with the mushroom tea for an unforgettable flavor experience.
Herbal Infusions
Herbal infusions are a great way to add a subtle flavor to your mushroom tea. Ginger or peppermint are both excellent options for enhancing the flavor of your tea. A blend of mushroom tea and ginger can help to create a soothing atmosphere, while peppermint can help to give the tea a bright, invigorating kick. For an even more complex flavor, try blending both ginger and peppermint with the mushroom tea for a unique and flavorful experience.
