Many mushroom enthusiasts prefer making shroom tea over using whole mushrooms or psilocybin-infused chocolate bars and gummies as it allows more control over dosage, plus is suitable for people with dietary restrictions or allergies. Shroom tea typically has an immediate onset compared to eating mushrooms, making it suitable for those who can’t tolerate nausea caused by psilocybin.

Consuming shroom tea typically lasts 4-6 hours before consumers will experience a “post-trip” effect whereby they feel less euphoric, less psychedelic and have decreased cognitive impairments. This is natural and should not cause alarm; to minimize its severity it is recommended that consumers drink plenty of water and eat healthy meals regularly so psilocybin doesn’t sit too long in your system before having adverse reactions on them.

Consuming shroom tea may not be dangerous, but there are some risks you should be wary of. One potential risk is accidentally ingestion of an incorrect type of mushroom which could prove fatal. For those new to magic mushrooms it’s wise to take them with a guide or “trip-sitter”, such as an experienced underground therapist or close and trusted friend with experience of taking trips before. A guide can assist with staying hydrated, breathing correctly and grounding back down whenever needed.

One less frequent risk is overdosing on mushroom extract. This may happen either when someone consumes too many at one time, or they attempt to do so deliberately. To mitigate this problem, start small and increase dosage gradually – many users have reported positive experiences when taking this approach to consumption of mushrooms.

Another important thing to keep in mind when drinking mushroom tea is how it may influence drug screening results. Most drug tests use saliva or blood panels to assess recent drug usage; Psilocybin won’t appear on these types of tests but could possibly be detected in urine samples if you have used acid or LSD.

Hair follicle testing is the easiest and cheapest way to identify whether you have taken psilocybin within the past 90 days, providing a clear indication as to whether you used any. While expensive, this test provides an accurate indication – great if used before job interviews, school admissions committee meetings, or any other situation where drug history needs to be demonstrated – and can even be completed at home! Typically it takes approximately three weeks before results become visible. Testing services may offer these tests at medical marijuana dispensaries or online for $50-$200 for single hair follicle analyses!
