Mushroom tea is a nutritious drink that combines the earthy flavor of various edible mushroom varieties with various medicinal herbs and spices for infusion, also known as steeping. Steeping allows their full spectrum of nutritional and healing properties to seep into hot water and create a drink that both tastes delicious while simultaneously supporting wellness. With such an eclectic combination of ingredients at its base, mushroom tea has quickly evolved from trendy health food trend to functional herbal remedy.

As well as their natural anti-inflammatory properties, many of the mushrooms used in this drink contain powerful antioxidants and adaptogens that help reduce stress levels and support daily life events. Cordyceps and turkey tail have been linked with improved exercise performance while Reishi and Ashwagandha can improve mental clarity and focus.

Mushroom tea’s effects depend on both dosage and an individual’s sensitivity to medicine. Low doses (0.1-1 grams) usually take 30-60 minutes before producing noticeable effects; higher doses, however, can have more intense visual distortions, altered thought processes and other psychedelic experiences that might take several hours longer to kick in.

Beginners to taking high doses of magic mushrooms should start slowly increasing their dosage until reaching desired effects, usually starting with small amounts and building gradually over time. This is to avoid “bad trips” or psychotic episodes in those susceptible.

No matter their dosage of mushrooms consumed, most individuals can expect mild to moderate effects that last between three and six hours, though their duration may differ significantly depending on factors like diet, exercise habits and the environment in which shrooms are consumed.

Mushroom tea can be made in several ways. One option is to mix powdered mushroom directly with hot water and allow it to steep, while premade powdered mushroom tea blends are available that make use of premade powdered mushroom blends, making the experience more simple while giving more consistent results than homebrewing mushroom tea.

Importantly, mushroom tea should only be taken under the guidance of an experienced healthcare provider and in moderation. While mushroom tea is often considered safe for consumption, its use could pose risks that could become addictive over time if consumed excessively or incorrectly. Therefore it is advised that any mushroom tea consumption be undertaken with care and moderation.
