Mushroom tea is a hot water beverage crafted by adding edible mushrooms from various species into boiling water and steeping.

Over time, active compounds in mushroom tea degrade, leading to its decreased effectiveness. To avoid this from happening, individuals should adhere to storage recommendations and consume it within an acceptable timeline in order to experience its full potency and reap all its rewards.

To extend the shelf life of mushroom tea, it is ideal to store it in a vacuum sealed container, as this helps avoid oxidation and contamination which could significantly decrease its shelf life. Furthermore, you should keep it somewhere cool and dark to protect it from light exposure that could further accelerate degradation.

Alternative storage methods include placing it in the fridge to extend its shelf life; however, be mindful that prolonged refrigeration will increase its chances of losing therapeutic efficacy as well as alter its flavor, rendering it less enjoyable to consume.

When storing mushroom tea, it is also advisable to store it away from heat sources and contaminants as this will protect its psilocybin content from degrading over time when exposed to high temperatures or environmental stresses, and prevent any bacteria or mold infestation which could potentially have negative side effects for consumers.

Mushroom tea should be consumed within a day after it has been prepared to ensure maximum potency, as psilocybin and other active compounds in it can degrade over time, leading to lessening effects and eventually reduced effectivity.

Mushroom tea may be safe and effective in treating minor health conditions; however, individuals experiencing serious health conditions should consult with a physician prior to using any mushroom products, including tea. Also, those taking prescription medications should use caution when drinking mushroom tea as certain ingredients can interact with medications and cause adverse side effects – this is particularly pertinent to women who are pregnant, breastfeeding or on blood thinners. Additionally, those with oxalate kidney stones should avoid mushroom tea; those allergic to mushrooms should likewise refrain from drinking this beverage. In general, people should limit their mushroom product consumption over several days as doing so may lead to unpleasant side effects like nausea and vomiting.
