When it comes to eating mushrooms, there are various methods. While many prefer eating whole mushrooms themselves, others enjoy drinking mushroom tea as an alternative way of indulging their love of these tasty and medicinal delicacies. While the thought may sound bizarre at first, you’d be amazed how delicious and medicinal the experience is!

Mushroom tea can be made by boiling water with herbs, spices and dried mushrooms (depending on your preferences) added. As the mixture simmers, its psychedelic compounds leech out into the boiling water resulting in earthy and mildly sweet flavors; many mushroom enthusiasts experiment with various combinations to craft the ideal blends.

Mushroom tea tends to cause its effects about 30 minutes post ingestion and last four to seven hours, leaving users experiencing visual and sensory changes such as brighter colors and vibrating objects, introspection, contemplation and having epiphanies or insight; though for some it may cause anxiety or paranoia as well.

While no scientific studies exist to substantiate mushroom tea’s efficacy, it remains popularly used for its mind and mood-altering properties. Psilocin from mushrooms is absorbed through digestion into bloodstream where it acts as an NMDA receptor agonist to affect certain regions of brain; typically users feel its effects until after sleeping while its impact usually subsides the following day.

Many people appreciate the safety and ease of mushroom tea as an easy and safe method for microdosing, particularly among microdosers. Mushroom tea may also be easier on your stomach than eating raw mushrooms, providing more accurate dosing. Unfortunately, however, some find it uncomfortable or ineffective; others experience adverse reactions to psilocin present in mushrooms; it’s essential that anyone experiencing such side effects consult a professional to discuss how best to utilize magical mushrooms and other psychoactives.

Multiple factors can impact how long mushrooms remain in a system, including metabolism and body-fat percentage. When combined, faster metabolisms and lower body-fat percentage levels lead to quicker elimination of the psychoactive chemicals from your system – keeping hydrated can further expedite this process.

Detection time may differ for each individual depending on how often and in what quantities they use mushrooms, as well as when their last trip was. A low dose typically remains detectable for three to five days while higher dosages could remain detectable up to seven days or longer.

Substance misuse related to mushrooms may not be addictive; however, taking too many at once or using them inappropriately could prove dangerous.
