What are Mushrooms?

Mushrooms are the fruiting body of fungi, like apples to an apple tree. They belong to a kingdom of their own, separate from plants and animals. However, their nutrients are obtained by digesting and absorbing food. Growing on decomposing matter like soil or on the side of a tree, it is common to encounter mushrooms on nearly every continent on the planet.

What are Magic Mushrooms? (Psilocybin)

The coined term Magic Mushrooms, Shrooms or Zoomies contain a psychoactive compound in them called Psilocybin. It activates specific serotonin receptors in the brain associated with mood enhancement, serene mindset, and elevated feelings or behaviours. Psilocybin is converted in the body to Psilocin which has mind-expanding effects. Some effects are reported to be more visual, while others are more physical. There are different characteristics to every mushroom. You can make distinctions by their outward appearance, effect, duration, potency, and growing process. This makes it easier to find the right strain for you or which strain you would like to try first.

How does Psilocybin make you feel?

Psilocybin can invoke a diverse range of responses in the user. How Psilocybin affects a person may vary depending on the amount taken. Consumers often report altered sensory experiences such as flowing patterns or fractal images and personal insights that one can perceive as deeply meaningful. These trips can be extremely positive experiences but can also be frightening and disorientating if an excessive amount is digested.  Cognitive function can also be affected. Some examples are; divergent thinking, spontaneity, free-flowing and non-linear thinking, unlikely word associations, enhanced creativity and an emphasis on the experience of music. Mood swings can potentially occur.
