Mushroom tea is a drink prepared by steeping dried psilocybin mushrooms in hot water for several minutes and drinking it to experience altered states of consciousness or pleasurable feelings.

Mushroom tea is often taken alongside other psychedelics and has been associated with hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD). There are various methods for making and drinking mushroom tea.

Ingredients

Psilocybin mushrooms are a type of fungus containing psychedelic compounds that can alter perception, thought patterns and sensations. Most people enjoy experiencing psilocybin by drinking tea made from them – an easy process which requires boiling them in water prior to consumption. However, it’s important to remain aware of any risks related to taking such substances that might alter behaviour and be aware of what you’re getting yourself into before beginning this experience.

To make mushroom tea, begin by measuring out your desired amount of dried magic mushrooms – typically one or two grams; however this can depend on individual experience and tolerance levels. Next, cut or grind them into small pieces so that their psilocybin content is extracted efficiently during boiling; once this has been accomplished, bring water to boil in a large pot before reducing to simmer heat and leaving to steep for approximately 20 minutes before draining off any extra moisture from them before serving your tea!

Once your tea is complete, remove it from the heat and strain out any mushroom solids. For optimal results, the drink should then be pressed or squeezed to extract as much strained liquid as possible before pouring it into a cup to be enjoyed mindfully. It may be enhanced further with lemon juice, coffee and vitamin C in order to increase effectiveness as acidifies water while caffeine helps enhance its effects while vitamin C prevents it from disintegrating too rapidly.

Preparation

Making magic mushroom tea is relatively straightforward. First, gather and finely cut your mushrooms. Additionally, lemon slices, a strainer, and water will all be necessary.

Next, mix citric acid into the water. A ratio of one part citric acid to five parts water should suffice; citric acid will serve to break down any psilocybin present in mushrooms while preventing any oxidation in the mix.

After adding finely chopped mushrooms, turn up the heat and stir constantly as you watch as they break down and release their juice into your tea, which should only take several minutes if done carefully.

After straining out any extra mushrooms or lemon slices that you added for extra stomach comfort, your tea should be ready within several hours for use. Most people enjoy drinking it on an empty stomach to experience maximum effects from psilocybin in this form; for those with sensitive stomachs who wish to go the easier route, mixing the liquid into fruit smoothies might offer greater results.

Effects

Shroom tea is a beverage created by steeping magic mushrooms–usually those containing psilocybin–in hot water, in order to extract their hallucinogenic compounds such as psilocybin and psilocin, responsible for their hallucinogenic effects. Although this method of dosing may be safer and more convenient than eating raw or dried out mushrooms directly, it still may cause side effects which may trigger mental health conditions or emotional swings that need treatment.

Therefore, it is vitally important that one carefully follows the preparation instructions. Doing so ensures they use an adequate dosage of psilocin and don’t accidentally overdosing themselves with it – excess dose could have unpleasant or dangerous side effects such as bad trips and increased anxiety or depression symptoms.

Mushroom tea can produce psychedelic effects within 20-40 minutes, such as visual distortions, altered perception and emotions, or a sense of well-being. Specific experiences vary according to setting; thus making each experience unpredictable. Some users report intense or frightening experiences, while others experience lasting shifts in thinking or mood.

Citric acid should be added to water when making mushroom tea to extract psilocin from mushrooms without oxidizing it, with 1 part citric acid to 50 parts water generally considered an ideal ratio. Boil shrooms for 10 minutes before straining out tea into glasses or bowls for consumption immediately as its half-life in the body can vary widely.

Mushroom tea’s effects typically last 4-6 hours and may be detected in urine tests for up to one week; however, its psilocin can be flushed from the body more rapidly by drinking water, taking antipsychotic medication or using an entheogen. People should always seek reliable information before trying mushroom tea.

Dosage

Mushrooms are an irresistibly mind-altering substance made up of psychoactive compounds which alter both body and brain functions. Psilocybin, one of the main active ingredients found in mushrooms, can alter perception, mood, and thought patterns – producing changes in perception, mood and thought patterns as a result. Anyone consuming mushrooms should do so responsibly in order to avoid misuse that may result in side effects and even addiction.

Mushroom tea is an increasingly popular method of ingestion for those seeking a mild dose of psilocybin and comes from various species of mushrooms, most often those containing high concentrations of psilocybin with an appealing scent – these caps can be purchased both online and at some stores and consumed either whole, ground into powder form, or mixed into beverages to form mushroom tea – which produces similar effects as other forms of psilocybin such as altered perception and mood changes.

Time it takes for mushroom tea effects to appear can vary depending on its dosage and form of ingestion, with liquids passing more rapidly through digestion than solids and taking effect within minutes of ingestion. But ultimately it all comes down to individual metabolism and tolerance levels; whether this will take hours, minutes, days, weeks, months or even years is unknown.

Mushroom tea’s color comes from oxidation, which occurs when mushrooms are stored for extended periods or not prepared properly during cooking. Although oxidation destroys some psilocin from the mushroom’s core, its blue tint may remain noticeable if either too little time was allowed for preparation or water temperature was too high.
