First, shrooms is short for mushrooms, specifically magic mushrooms. Magic mushrooms represent just a small fraction of the wealth of mushroom varieties of the world. What sets these “magic” mushrooms apart are the psychedelic effects caused by their main chemical component: psilocybin. Now let’s delve into the edible part of shroom edibles.

Magic mushrooms are all edible in the sense that they can be eaten. So, what do we mean when we talk about psilocybin edibles? Edibles are different foods or beverages that have been made with psilocybin. Usually, psilocybin concentrate or powder is mixed with something that people more regularly eat or drink – and of course enjoy – such as tea or candy. The goal is to mask the earthy and somewhat bitter taste of the mushrooms and often bypass the texture completely. Of course, edibles are also simply fun! They come in all different shapes, colors, and flavors. Let’s be honest: I know you were looking for an excuse to eat colorful gummies again! It’s OK; we won’t tell. In fact, both our billing and packaging are very discreet, so no one will know that you are ordering psilocybin products unless you want them to. 

Drink Edibles

One type of edibles is beverages. Psilocybin beverages come sweetened, like a drink mix, or unsweetened, like a psilocybin green tea. They can be consumed hot or cold depending on the weather and each person’s preference. Drink mixes come in many fruity flavors. Teas can be flavored or plain, allowing each person to customize his or her own beverage. There’s even psilocybin-infused hot cocoa!

Eat Edibles

Psilocybin edibles typically fall into the dessert category. Gummies are probably the most well-known and popular form of edibles. These edibles come in all different colors, shapes, and flavors, including both sweet and sour varieties. Psilocybin chocolates are another popular choice. You can choose simple milk or dark chocolate, or chocolate mixed with nuts, salted caramel, and a wide range of other ingredients.

Speaking of chocolates with psilocybin brings us to another interesting psilocybin practice: stacking. Stacking is consuming psilocybin mushrooms along with non-psychedelic substances, such as chocolate, niacin, or Lion’s Mane mushrooms, in order to enhance the benefits of psilocybin. Although consuming psilocybin with Lion’s Mane mushrooms or niacin is a recent practice, consuming magic mushrooms with cacao has long been a custom of the Aztecs. They called it “cacahua-xochitl”, which literally means chocolate-mushroom.

To the long list of options we have with psilocybin edibles, we can also add microdosing edibles. Microdosing is the practice of taking a small dose of psilocybin mushrooms to obtain the benefits of psilocybin without the hallucinogenic effects. Psilocybin edibles, such as teas and gummies, include microdosed options with only 250-400 mg. Other psilocybin edibles, including teas and gummies as well, can have ten times higher concentrations of psilocybin. Your choice of edibles of course depends on the desired effect; the former will give you greater focus, clarity, and creativity while you go about your day, whereas the latter will take you on a full-blown psychedelic trip.
