For one, the taste of psychedelic mushrooms can be less than appealing for many. Therefore, taking mushroom edibles is ideal. Convenience is another reason psychedelic mushroom edibles are popular. Instead of throwing pieces out on a digital scale, you can eat a gummy or piece of chocolate (even shaped like a mushroom), and know precisely how much you’ve taken. One last benefit of edibles? Discretion. You can eat candy or drink tea, and no one around you will even realize you are taking psilocybin. .
