Trust the fact that everything you see, feel, or envision exists in the realm of the shroom trip and cannot hurt you in real life. This mindset will allow you to explore your consciousness without fear or prejudice. A typical mushroom trip will last between four to six hours from the time mushrooms are first ingested, to the moment when the altered state has effectively worn off.
After the effects begin, a slow climb will follow and peak effects are expected between two to four hours after intake. The effect will start to dissipate after the peak, and you can expect to be back to normal after about six hours. Although the effect might have worn off, you might still feel lightheaded, tired, or overly sensitive to stimuli. We recommend you find a time when you can take the rest of the day off to integrate the experience.
Also, make sure you can have at least 8 hours of sleep the night after the experience, in order to fully recover. Psilocybe Cubensis has universally become the most propagated species of magic mushrooms out there, because of how easy they are to grow. However, there are over species of psilocybin-producing mushrooms in nature. Different species will carry different levels of psilocybin, which means that the same amount of mushrooms could have vastly diverse amounts of psychedelic ingredients, leading to very different strengths.
Levels of psilocybin can also vary between strains of the same species. As with any naturally-sourced medicine, the concentration of active ingredients can also vary between different parts of the fungi. The cap could hold more psilocybin than the stem and vice versa.
This all means that measuring a dose of mushrooms is not an exact science. However, some guidelines can be followed, based on suggested amounts of dried Psilocybe Cubensis.
Your mushrooms will come in two possible variants: fresh or dried. The best way to measure a dose of mushrooms is to use a scale. Being under the effect of shrooms is a very strange new experience, which can be overwhelming at first.
We recommend you begin with a low dose no more than 1. If you must eat something before your trip, try to have it be a light and easily-digestible meal like a salad or some fruit.
Discontinuing use for a week or so will return people to their normal tolerance level. The main risk of taking magic mushrooms is that some look very similar to certain types of poisonous mushrooms. If you believe you or someone else may have eaten a poisonous mushroom, do not wait for symptoms to occur. If your use of psilocybin is affecting your health, family, relationships, work, school, financial or other life situations, you can find help and support.

Participants also stated that use was sporadic, and the majority of people who had used mushrooms recently, used them less than monthly.
Psilocybin magic mushrooms. Last published: November 10, What are magic mushrooms? Magic mushrooms look much like ordinary mushrooms.
Other names Shrooms, mushies, blue meanies, golden tops, liberty caps. Effects of magic mushrooms There is no safe level of drug use. Magic mushrooms can affect everyone differently, based on: size, weight and health whether the person is used to taking it whether other drugs are taken around the same time the amount taken the strength of the mushroom varies depending on the type of mushroom The effects of magic mushrooms usually begin in 30 minutes when eaten, or within 5—10 minutes when taken as a soup or tea and can last approximately four to six hours.
If a large amount or a strong batch of mushrooms is consumed, the person may experience: agitation vomiting diarrhoea muscle weakness panic or paranoia psychosis seizures coma. Tolerance and dependence Tolerance develops rapidly with continued use, resulting in the drug having little to no effect over time.

Under alkaline conditions in the presence of oxygen it immediately forms bluish and black degradation products.
Molecular formula: C 12 H 16 N 2 0 Molecular weight: The fungi containing psilocybin and psilocin mainly belong to the genuses Psilocybe , Panaeolus and Copelandia and their number exceeds 50 species. Most of the mushrooms containing psilocybin are small brown or tan mushrooms. In the wild, these mushrooms are easily mistaken for any number of non-psychoactive, inedible, or poisonous mushrooms. This makes them difficult, and potentially hazardous, to identify. Because it is difficult to distinguish non-psilocybin species from the hallucinogenic ones by morphological observation in the wild, psilocybin-containing mushrooms may also be easily ingested unintentionally.
Hallucinogenic mushrooms resemble the common store mushroom Agaricus bisporus , although the flesh of Psilocybe mushrooms characteristically turns blue or green when bruised or cut. An identification method based on a genetic approach has been developed. A different species of mushroom, Amanita muscaria fly agaric , produces a state of delirium that also includes hallucinations, but its primary active agents are muscimol and ibotenic acid.
In contrast to LSD, psilocin does not have an effect on the dopamine receptor. Tryptamines and phenethylamine hallucinogens both have a relatively high affinity for serotonin 5-HT 2 receptors, but they differ in their affinity for other subtypes of serotonin receptors.
The correlation between the relative affinity of hallucinogens for 5-HT 2 -receptors and their potency as hallucinogens in human beings suggest that an important component of the mechanism of action of these substances is through stimulation of brain 5-HT 2 -receptors. A primary role for the 5-HT 2 -receptor in the mechanism of hallucinations is further suggested by the observation that antagonists of the 5-HT 2 -receptor are effective in blocking the behavioural and electrophysiological effects of hallucinogenic drugs in animals and in man.
Although 5HT 2 -receptors are certainly involved, at present, it is not possible to attribute the psychedelic effects to any single 5-HT receptor subtype. Behavioural effects are dependent on dose and the individual reaction and sensitivity to psilocybin, previous experiences and the setting.
The major effects are related to the central nervous system, but there are also some sympathomimetic effects. The subjective effects, however, may vary greatly between individuals and from one episode of use to the next within the same person.
The effects range from mild feelings of relaxation, giddiness, euphoria, visual enhancement seeing colours brighter , visual disturbances moving surfaces, waves , to delusions, altered perception of real events, images and faces, or real hallucinations. The sensory distortions may be coupled with restlessness, incoordination, feelings of anxiety, impaired judgement of time or distance, sense of unreality or even depersonalisation.
These effects may be termed 'bad trips' by users and can also involve panic reactions and psychosis-like states. In general, the physiological effects are not significant, but may include dizziness, nausea, weakness, muscle aching, shivering, abdominal pain, dilation of pupils mydriasis , mild-to-moderate increase in heart rate tachycardia and breathing tachypnea and elevation of blood pressure.
Generally, body temperature remains normal. However, pronounced physical symptoms such as severe stomach pain, persistent vomiting, diarrhoea etc. Both psilocybin and psilocin can be produced synthetically, but this form of the drug is not often found. Users purchase hallucinogenic mushrooms and by-products from smartshops and on the Internet, or pick them wild. The cubensis varieties are cultivated specifically mostly in the Netherlands.
The types of magic mushrooms most commonly sold by smartshops in the Netherlands are the Psilocybe cubensis varieties. Online shops sell a variety of hallucinogenic mushroom products ranging from fresh mushrooms to spore prints, spawnbags and growkits. The majority of online shops offer international shipping, although most sites do not ship to countries where sales are prohibited. Recreational doses range from 1—5 grams of dry mushrooms depending on the species and individual strength of the specimens.
Dosages for fresh mushrooms will be approximately 10 times higher 10—50 grams.
