The best way to try magic mushrooms is through a microdose. This allows you to get a feel for the benefits of the experience while being in control.
A microdose feels gently euphoric, and makes colors look a bit brighter. It makes whatever you do more enjoyable – you might enjoy music more, having a good laugh with friends, or just relaxing on the beach.
The best way to try out magic mushrooms is a microdose. This is about 0.2-0.3 grams – 10% of what a bigger dose usually is.
While other substances cloud your perception, mushrooms heighten it. For this reason, it’s always better to be in a comfortable environment (example: nature) and be around people you like.
The best way to take them is 2-3 hours after a meal. Your stomach shouldn’t be full, and it shouldn’t be completely empty either. Stay hydrated – mushrooms make you thirsty!
A microdose should at most last 2-3 hours, but the peak effect itself only lasts 30 min. If you don’t like it, have a bit of bread and you can get back to normal again.
Those under age 18, pregnant, breastfeeding or have preexisting medical conditions should not consume psilocybin mushrooms. Please do not drive or operate any heavy equipment.

Microdoses are mild, so you don’t need any significant preparation to enjoy that experience. This section only applies if you are planning on a medium or large dose.
One basic safety tip if you are taking a large dose is having a “trip sitter” can help you feel safe and secure enough to surrender to the mushrooms
A medium or large dose trip lasts between 3 and 8 hours, averaging for most as a 6 hour trip. Mushrooms take an average of about 30 to 45 minutes to start taking effect but can take up to 90 mins – so don’t get antsy or take more if you don’t feel them coming on. Decide on your dose ahead of time and then wait to make sure you want more.
Psilocybin mushrooms—colloquially known as shrooms—are a type of naturally growing mushroom which contain the compound psilocybin. They grow naturally all over the world in moist environments and have been in use for thousands of years by cultures all over the world.
At very low doses (microdoses), psilocybin acts as a mood enhancer, giving you a warm and fuzzy feeling and a sense of clarity and focus where you can be more productive and social.
The higher the dose, the more profound the experience becomes; both in terms of what you see and hear (visual and auditory hallucinations) and what you experience (often a different perspective on yourself and your life).
Today, psilocybin is being used extensively in clinical trials for treatment-resistant depression, addiction, alcoholism, eating disorders and other conditions with success. Psilocybin-assisted therapy has been given FDA “breakthrough therapy” status in the USA, as a treatment for depression.
Despite what you were taught in high school, psilocybin mushrooms are safe for healthy people. For the past few years mushrooms have ranked as the Global Drug Survey’s safest illicit substance—safer even than cannabis because they put the least amount of people in the hospital.
Psilocybin mushrooms are not considered addictive because they don’t tend to give users an escape like alcohol or opioids. Tolerance builds up very quickly – taking mushrooms two days in a row often results in a less intense experience the second day, for example.
The following people should avoid consumption of psilocybin mushrooms:
We generally recommend you consume water with shrooms – it makes the experience much more enjoyable. If you are going to consume alcohol, do so in moderation as it tends to cause dehydration.
