Psilocybe is a genus of mushrooms from the Stropharia family. They have dry or watery caps, depending on where they are grown. Heads are painted in red, yellow, and olive shades. The plates adhere to the stem and weakly descend along this cartilaginous pedicle.
Also known as magic mushrooms, they are hallucinogenic and can help manage addictions and treat other conditions. You can buy magic mushroom products from online stores like Origin Mushrooms. The coverlet of this fungi is very difficult to notice, in some cases, it is not at all.
The spores are brownish-purple and have an elliptical or grain-like shape. Some of the species of the genus of fungi presented include the alkaloids psilocybin and psilocin, which have a psychoactive effect and cause confusion. Today, you can find many psilocybin mushrooms, each with its own characteristics and distinctive features.
Psilocybe Semilanceata
This breed contains
both components: psilocybin and psilocin. It is a lamellar mushroom with a smooth and thin-fleshy cap with a diameter of 5-25 millimeters. The shape of the cap is semicircular, may be conical. It has a small bump at its end. Its mucous skin can be removed without problems, especially in young members of the family.
When grown in dry climates, psilocybin mushrooms turn white. The more humid the environment, the darker the fruiting body becomes. When the flesh is broken or damaged, the mushroom turns blue, by this sign it is easy to identify magic finds. Its strong and flexible stem is lighter than the head, it can be smooth or have scales. The plates themselves are dark in color, sometimes reaching complete blackness.
Where Does It Grow?
Psilocybe semi-lanceolate usually grows in the grass in clearings used for walking cattle. The fungus can also be found in humid areas, on hummocks, and irrigated land. They develop from late summer to mid-winter, most often they can be found in September and November.
What Happens When Consumed?
When the finished
product is consumed, psychoactive elements from the tryptamine group enter the human body, which have a psychedelic effect on the central nervous system. The concentration of substances and their availability depend on the growing conditions and terrain. The effect rendered can vary, depending on the characteristics of the taster’s organism: someone will not even lead the eye, but someone will have a real trip.
The action lasts for 4-7 hours after taking the dose. You will feel the first sensations in about half an hour, and after that, they will only intensify. The peak will overtake in an hour and stay in the body for another couple of hours, and a decline will begin. With a bad experience, the effects also often persist, so fear, anxiety, depression, and other negative phenomena can stay with you for some time.
