Psychedelic mushrooms are also called hallucinogenic or psilocybin mushrooms. Due to the content of specific compounds, they possess unique properties. Consuming such mushrooms even in small doses induces psychoactive effects, which manifest as changes in mood, perception, and state of consciousness, with little impact on memory or orientation. Psychedelic varieties require appropriate conditions for proper development.
What effects do psychedelic mushrooms produce?
Psychedelic mushrooms affect consciousness in various ways. The name of these varieties refers to psilocybin, the main psychoactive compound in their composition. Its presence makes possessing and selling hallucinogens illegal in Poland. However, there are no such regulations for the spores themselves, as they do not contain psilocybin. In our Shroom.it store, you can find mycelium that you can legally purchase for collector's or observational purposes.
Hallucinogenic properties
Psilocybin is a chemical compound that changes into pharmacologically active psilocin in the body. The psychoactive properties affect the perception of colors and sounds, as well as time and space. Consuming such mushrooms can lead to mild visual hallucinations, and thus seeing or even experiencing things that don't actually exist. Psilocybin varieties often also increase the intensity of sensations during interactions with the environment. The substances contained in them do not cause physical or psychological addiction, however, in the case of long-term or improper use, they may lead to adverse effects. The risk of feeling unwell increases, for example, when consuming mushrooms together with other psychoactive substances or alcohol.
Psychoactive effects
Various factors, including environmental ones, influence the type and intensity of effects from taking hallucinogenic mushrooms. The user's age, personality, and emotional state, as well as the dosage itself, are also significant. Psilocybin mushrooms have been used in many cultures that sought various spiritual experiences, self-knowledge, or achieving altered states of consciousness through them. Their use can also induce euphoric states. The content of psychoactive substances in each mushroom is slightly different, making it difficult to clearly determine the potential duration, specificity, or intensity of sensations and experiences achieved after consuming them. It's worth remembering that all of this information is purely theoretical.
Is it legal to possess psychedelic mushrooms?
Psychedelic mushrooms occur naturally in nature. These varieties are often confused with species that lack psychoactive and hallucinogenic properties, including inedible ones. In practice, however, cases of their accidental consumption are rare, and potential seekers are usually aware of the morphological similarity to other mushrooms. In our store, you can find grow kits, which are sets with substrate overgrown with mycelium and cultivation accessories. In Poland, you can legally possess them as long as you don't allow the fruiting bodies to develop. For this reason, their use is limited to microscopic observation or simple collecting.
Occurrence in nature
Psilocybin mushrooms are characterized by a white-grayish and brownish coloration, and have caps with a specific shape and sl
