Adding Shrooms to Your Food
By adding magic mushrooms to your food, you will face a totally new world of experience. Incorporating magic mushrooms into your food will give you both the feeling of queasiness and the taste that most of the users suffer. Though shrooms can be added to any food, the user’s choice always takes priority.
All you need to remember is not to add shrooms to your food during any cooking stage. If you add them during cooking, an active component of mushrooms (psilocybin) will start breaking down due to excessive heat.
If you want to have an interior tripping experience, you can add magic mushrooms to the top of your pizza. You can also add shrooms in sauces after cooking them. An excellent example could be the addition of shrooms into honey or freshly made pesto.
You can enjoy both of them in cold form. The more you add mushrooms the longer will be the trip so you need to be very careful about the dosage until you find what is the right amount for you to take.

Eat Magic Mushrooms Whole
The simplest way of consuming shrooms is by simply eating them. This is an old-fashioned way to eat magic mushroom. You should always make sure that you are chewing them very well to give your stomach an easier time to break the magic down from the shrooms.
You can use any drink you like. When you chew shrooms, the psychoactive compound comes out of the mushrooms and starts mixing with your blood, and goes to every cell of your body.
Shrooms usually take 45 minutes to start working. It depends upon the stomach’s content. A better way is to eat less before taking shrooms. It is recommended that you must avoid food for a few hours.
If you are not comfortable with the chewing part, you can simply grind them as much as possible and make a paste and it is comparatively easy to swallow.

What are the Effects of Eating Too Much Magic Mushroom?
If you eat magic mushroom, you can have risks of triggering emotional as well as mental complications and problems. They can cause accidents when they are under influence. Most people take magic mushrooms in combination with alcohol and some other drugs that can increase physical and psychological risks.
The quantity of psilocin and psilocybin in any magic mushroom is usually unknown because the shrooms greatly vary in psychoactive contents’ quantity. It clearly shows that you can not imagine how intense could be the trip that someone (who is taking shrooms) is going to experience.
If you consume shrooms, you will have a mild trip that can cause you to either feel relaxed or to have a frightening experience because of panic, hallucinations, and delusions. Magic mushrooms can even cause convulsion in the worst-case scenario.
As I mentioned earlier, the magic mushroom has both mental and physical effects on human health. I have provided both of them below. Let’s take a look at them.
Mental Effects When You Eat Magic Mushroom
The possible mental effects you can face after having shrooms are:
- You can feel nervousness,
- You can come across euphoria,
- You can face panic reactions,
- You feel a distorted sense of reality, time, and place,
- Auditory or visual hallucinations,
- Psychosis,
- You can have an introspective experience, and
- Paranoia.
Physical Effects When You Eat Magic Mushroom
The possible physical effects of consuming magic mushroom are:
- You can have nausea,
- You can feel headache,
- You feel weaknesses in muscle,
- You yawn a lot,
- You can come across a lack of coordination,
- Your blood pressure, temperature, and heart rate get increased,
- Drowsiness, and
- Dilated pupils.
There is a need to conduct more research studies on the long-term effects of eating magic mushrooms. According to recent studies, it has been reported that if you take magic mushrooms, you can experience a long-term change in your personality and the flashback long after having shrooms.
Because magic mushrooms are similar to poisonous mushrooms and you know poisoning is another major risk of having these drugs. Poisoning caused by shrooms can result in severe health issues e.g., damages to organs and it can even cause death.
Nowadays, it is common for the products of shrooms to be contaminated. A study with 886 samples was conducted on magic mushrooms by Pharm Chem Street Drug Laboratory. It was found in this study that 31% (275) were regular shrooms (bought directly from store) laced with phencyclidine or Lysosomal Storage Disorder (LSD), 28% (252) were found real hallucinogenic, and 37% (328) were having no drugs in them at all.
What Can You Do In Case of Mushroom Poisoning?
If you suspect that you or someone close to you is having poisonous magic mushrooms, you can just call directly to poison control authorities at 800-222-122. You should not wait for the symptoms to occur. Their customer care services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week throughout the year.
Recommended Dosage for Eating Magic Mushrooms
If you want to have a safe experience, you should take a recommended shroom dosage. It is very crucial that you must weigh your magic mushrooms with a sensitive scale before eating them. The first thing you should know about is whether you want to start with a tripping low dose or sub-perceptual micro-dose.
The micro-dose experience is a good thing to start with if you are nervous about the intense change in your consciousness or you are planning to eat magic mushroom for the first time. It can make you feel creative, more productive, empathetic. For some people, it may cause nausea, distraction, and can make them emotional.
If you want to have a deeper experience, you can start with a tripping dose (less than 2 grams).
This dose is also known as the museum dose for the first time. I don’t recommend people to go to any public places or museums who are going to eat magic mushroom for the very first time in their life. Because one or two grams of dosage can also be powerful to lose your senses and it can be uncomfortable for you if you are not fully relaxed for your first time.
For your better understanding, I have mentioned dried shroom dosage ranges below.
- Micro-Dose have 0.1 – 0.5 grams of shrooms
- Low Dose contains 0.5 – 2 grams of magic mushroom
- Moderate Dose consists of 2 – 3.5 grams of magic mushrooms
- High Dose includes 3.5 – 5 grams of mushrooms
I always recommend that if you want to consume any type of mushrooms, always start with a lower dosage in order to have a safe trip rather than going directly towards taking a higher dosage of shrooms. Eating a high dose of mushrooms will surely make you feel uncomfortable at the beginning.
According to a research study conducted on 20 different mushroom takers, it was recommended that you should not take more than 3.5 grams of shrooms for your first trip.
In this way, you will have an overwhelming experience.
How Long Does Magic Mushroom Last?
Once you take magic mushroom, your experience can last between 4 to 8 hours. On average it becomes 6 hours but still, it is dependent on the amount of dose taken and it varies from person to person.
Shrooms usually take around 30 to 45 minutes to start producing their effects but it could be somewhere between 15 minutes to 2 hours. It all depends on the way how you eat them. If you are not feeling shrooms coming on as quickly as you like, please do not take more dosage.
I recommend you always weigh your mushrooms before taking them so that you have a clear idea of how much are you taking. After that, wait for some time and ensure that you really need more shrooms.
Does Eating Magic Mushroom Cause Addiction?
Magic mushrooms are not really addictive and they do not lead to any compulsive use. It is partly because a drug may cause an intense journey. Moreover, users can easily build a tolerance to psilocybin which makes it very hard to have any sort of effect after multiple days of using them repeatedly.
Signs of Eating Magic Mushrooms?
If someone in your circle is in a habit of consuming magic mushroom, he or she can be paranoid or nervous. It is very important to notice any change that occurs in eating and sleeping patterns, personality, mood shifts, and other social activities.
Can Tolerance with Magic Mushrooms Be Risky?
Just like other drugs, the more you eat magic mushroom, the more tolerance you can develop as a result. The regular use of shrooms can also help you develop tolerance more quickly. If you want to have the same effect, you need more of the drug.
It could be risky to develop tolerance because eating too many mushrooms may result in overdose symptoms including vomiting, panic, diarrhea, agitation, seizures, psychosis, and paranoia.
Withdrawal
The people who start to stop eating magic mushrooms rarely report physical symptoms of withdrawal. Some people suffer from psychological effects that usually cause anxiety as well as depression. This scenario becomes irritating for the regular users who started quitting.
Law on Eating Magic Mushrooms
Magic mushroom belongs to class A drug that is totally illegal to take, produce or sell. Their possession can result in an unlimited fine, 7 years in prison, or both. Supplying them to someone else can even get you in prison along with the unlimited fine.
If you are caught under shroom influence while driving, you can be charged with a heavy fine, prison sentence, and ban on driving. 2005 Drug Act amended the misuse of Drug Act 1971 in order to clarify that both the prepared and fresh magic mushrooms having psilocybin or psilocin are class A drugs and they are illegal to consume, possess, cultivate, and transport.
