How long it takes psilocybin to work depends on several factors, including temperature of tea consumed, amount consumed, and individual physiology.

Although this article primarily discusses non-psychedelic mushrooms, there are many species available for tea-making that can be used as well. These include reishi, chaga, lion mane turkey tail and cordyceps mushrooms to name just a few.

Chaga mushrooms have an exterior that looks similar to burnt charcoal but an interior of orange/golden brown color; these harvested for tea-making can either by loose leaf tea purchase or pre-packed herbal blends.

A great way to brew medicinal mushrooms for tea is to add them directly into hot water at high temperature; the higher the temperature is, the faster their effects take effect.

Reishi mushroom tea can be prepared using either a thermos flask or electric kettle to bring 8 ounces of water to a boil. Once it reaches this state, turn down to medium high and add your mushrooms, honey, and oil – allow this mixture to steep for five to ten minutes, tasting every 30 seconds as you go until your preferred level of flavor has been reached.

For a sweeter tea, add vanilla or other natural sweeteners such as honey or stevia for balance. Reishi has an earthy flavor which can sometimes be slightly bitter; these plants provide just enough sweetness to balance it out. Also experiment with different herbs and spices to craft your own custom blend of reishi tea!
