Psilocybin mushrooms, an naturally-occurring hallucinogenic substance, when consumed in sufficient amounts can produce various sensory experiences including feelings of euphoria or out-of-body experiences. Once prepared into tea form, magic mushrooms can also be eaten directly or crushed and mixed into other food or capsules for use as religious and spiritual practices to facilitate spiritual experiences and introspection.

Psilocybin-containing mushroom species do not pose any direct threat of death or illness when taken at moderate to high doses; in fact, traditional medicine uses them extensively as treatments for various ailments. However, improper preparation or consumption methods could lead to adverse side effects or toxicosis if overdone.

For safe mushroom preparation and consumption, it’s essential to follow some simple rules. First of all, only use high-quality mushroom products that have been verified as containing psilocybin and other active compounds. Next, heat water to 70oC – any higher risk killing the psilocybin. Before brewing mushrooms it is also crucial that they are thoroughly rinsed and ground to eliminate dirt or insects that might contaminate their surface as this could potentially contaminate the brew and lead to harmful side-effects.

Another essential step in mushroom tea preparation is making sure they steep for enough time. Brewing too quickly won’t produce the results desired, while longer infusing time leads to stronger infusions of flavor.

For a stronger brew, simply increase the amount of mushrooms or decrease the water used accordingly to achieve your preferred potency. Experienced mushroom lovers often suggest starting off with one eighth of shrooms in two cups of water as this tends to induce less intense visualizations while providing more control over dosing process. Compared to eating whole mushrooms or mushroom-infused chocolate bars or candies, drinking mushroom tea provides faster onset times as well as reduced nausea on arrival compared with alternative methods like taking whole shrooms; plus it makes regular dosing much simpler for people looking for microdosing regularly!
