Psilocybin mushrooms

What are the characteristics of psilocybin mushrooms?

Psilocybin mushrooms owe their name to the chemical compound they contain, namely psilocybin. In the body, this substance is converted into pharmacologically active psilocin. The mushrooms themselves also contain small amounts of psilocin, and some varieties also contain baeocystin and norbaeocystin with weaker psychedelic effects. Magic mushrooms do not cause physical or psychological addiction, although they can cause certain side effects. The risk of various ailments, disorders, or toxic effects increases when consuming mushrooms together with other psychoactive substances or alcohol. You can find psilocybin-free spores of these mushrooms in our online store Shroom.it. We encourage you to contact our specialists.

Natural occurrence

Mushrooms with psychedelic and hallucinogenic properties occur naturally in the environment. Most varieties are characterized by a brown or brownish-yellow coloration, resembling many commonly available forest species. Their morphological similarity to other mushrooms leads to occasional cases of accidental consumption of magic mushrooms. Mushrooms of the Psilocybe genus change the color of their flesh to blue or green when crushed or cut. In Poland, a variety known as the liberty cap naturally occurs, which relatively easily develops in temperate climates.

Psychoactive properties

The chemical compounds produced by these mushrooms are responsible for their psychoactive properties. Psilocybin can produce quite varied effects, largely dependent on factors such as age, personality, dose taken, and physical and emotional state. Mushrooms containing such substances have been known for centuries, and in many cultures and communities, they were used to achieve higher states of consciousness, self-knowledge, spiritual experiences, or distort time and induce euphoric states. Each magic mushroom contains a slightly different amount of psilocybin, so the intensity of the psychoactive substance's effects will also vary. It is therefore difficult to definitively determine the nature of the final psychedelic experiences and their duration.
