The main type of mushroom used is called liberty cap psilocybe. The other more potent variety is the amanita muscaria this bears close resemblance to deadly poisonous fungi. Magic mushrooms contain the psychedelic chemical psilocybin.
Magic mushrooms can be eaten raw or they can be cooked or stewed into a tea and drunk, they can also be dried and then stored.
Once the trip has started there is no way to control or stop it, and a bad trip can be unpredictable, with users experiencing feelings of paranoia and being out of control. Users sometimes experience severe stomach pains, as well as diarrhoea and sickness. Too often, magic mushrooms can be confused with other poisonous, sometimes deadly fungi, so if users experience illness, they should get to hospital as soon as possible with a sample of the fungi. Users do not become physically addicted and there are no withdrawal symptoms.
Psilcybin mushrooms are small and tan coloured and bruise blue when they're touched. Amanita Muscaria are more like the red and white spotted toadstools you see in fairytale books. After picking, they're both either eaten raw or dried out and stored. Most people take between 1-5 grams.
The biggest danger with taking any magic mushrooms is making sure you're taking the right thing. There are hundreds of varieties of out there and some of them are highly poisonous. And as you'd expect with something that grows naturally, the strength varies depending on the freshness, the season and regional variations.
Psilocybin Mushrooms Effects:
Use of psilocybin is associated with negative physical and psychological consequences. The physical effects, which appear within 20 minutes of ingestion and last approximately 6 hours, include nausea, vomiting, muscle weakness, drowsiness, and lack of coordination. While there is no evidence that users may become physically dependent on psilocybin, tolerance for the drug does develop when it is ingested continuously over a short period of time.
The psychological consequences of psilocybin use include hallucinations and an inability to discern fantasy from reality. Panic reactions and psychosis also may occur, particularly if a user ingests a large dose.
In addition to the risks associated with ingestion of psilocybin, individuals who seek to abuse psilocybin mushrooms also risk poisoning if one of the many varieties of poisonous mushrooms is incorrectly identified as a psilocybin mushroom.
