There are more than 180 types of mushroom known to contain psilocybin. The amount of psilocybin in the mushroom depends on the type and the growing conditions. Dried mushrooms contain between 0.1 and 2% psilocybin whereas fresh mushrooms have around ten times less, due to the water content.
Fresh or dried. Also available ground up and put in capsules or food, e.g. chocolate bars.
PSILOCYBIN GETS CONVERTED TO PSILOCIN IN THE BODY. SIMILAR TO LSD, THIS BINDS AND ACTIVATES THE 5 HT2A-REZEPTOR IN THE BRAIN. SENSORY IMPRESSIONS RUN UNFILTERED INTO THE CONSCIOUS MIND (HALLUCINOGENIC EFFECT) AND THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN THE CONSCIOUS AND THE UNCONSCIOUS BEGIN TO DISSOLVE (PSYCHEDELIC EFFECT).
⫸ ORIENTATION The effects depend strongly on the set (person), setting (surroundings) and the amount of psilocybin 2-4mg psilocybin – light physical and psychological effects 5-10mg – hallucinations (with eyes closed) 10-20mg – hallucinations (with eyes open) 20+mg – intense change in consciousness, balance and disorientation.
⫸ EFFECTS
after approx.30-60min.
⫸ DURES
approx. 4-8h
⫸ DETECTABLE
a few hours (blood), 2-4 days (urine).
⫸ POSSIBLE LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES
Trigger ("trigger") mental disorders such as flashbacks, psychosis, and (rarely) persistent perceptual disturbances (HPPD).
⫸ Interactions
Mixed use of mushrooms containing psilocybin with other psychoactive substances means a particular strain on the psyche. Dose significantly lower. Mixed use with alcohol often leads to psychological and physical problems.
⫸ SIDE EFFECTS
Dilated pupils; increase in body temperature, heart/breath rate, blood pressure. Orientation problems, impaired judgment, headache, dizziness, muscle twitching, tremors, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting. Intoxication may be determined by anxiety and may be perceived as exhausting. Panic attacks possible.
⫸ CONTRAINDICATIONS
Psychological problems, treatment with MAO inhibitors, cardiovascular diseases, epilepsy, pregnancy, lactation.
⫸ PARTICULARLY RISKY
Consumption during severe psychological stress, in unclear situations, spoiled (not dried) mushrooms, confusion with poisonous mushrooms.
Find out exactly what type of mushrooms you have, and the levels of psilocybin they usually contain. The amounts can still vary strongly even within one type!
Only take psilocybin mushrooms when you’re feeling physically and mentally well, and in an environment you feel comfortable and safe in. Have a sober, trustworthy person accompany you. Think beforehand about how intense you want the trip to be and take the according dose.
Loud music, light effects and crowds of people at parties can be exhausting whilst under the influence of psilocybin, and can lead to disorientation and panic attacks. Don’t have your first mushroom trip at a party, and in general dose low in those situations.
Don’t take mushrooms on a full stomach, eat 2-3hours beforehand and during the trip eat only light snacks.
Psychedelics influence your sense of orientation and your willingness to take risks – avoid risky situations (e.g. traffic).
