For people with specific mental health conditions or other disorders, some precautions should be taken. It is recommended that the person talk through their intention to dose with a mental health professional sympathetic to psychedelics. Particularly with mental health issues, psychedelics should be treated cautiously. Set and setting are especially important, as is having a sitter. Microdosing—taking a sub-perceptual dose of a compound to elicit enhanced levels of creativity, energy, and focus—has particular benefits, but caution should be taken to dose carefully based on species.

Choosing species for microdosing can become a little interesting. Many individuals seek out the stronger species as you need a lot less dry material for microdosing. For Psilocybe subaeruginosa you only need 0.01 grams to microdose, and even at 0.05 grams, P.subs can become an active dose for some. For medium-strength species such as cubensis, 0.1 to 0.2 grams is known to be acceptable to microdose.

Both psilocybin and LSD are popular choices for microdosing regimens as they are structurally similar to serotonin or dopamine (i.e., tryptamines or phenethylamines, respectively). Both these neurotransmitters activate the body’s 5-HT2A receptor, which has been found to enhance neuroplasticity and improve brain functions like cognition, learning, and memory. buy magic mushrooms

A distinguishing feature of Psilocybe is that they all contain psilocybin, except one, Psilocybe fuscofulva (previously known as P. atrobrunnea), which produces no psilocybin. Genetically it is considered a Psilocybe, but it is thought to have lost the ability to biosynthesize psilocybin. Other weak psilocybe include P. liniformans (at 0.16 % psilocybin dry weight), P. cyanofibrillosa (at 0.21 % psilocybin dry weight), and P. stunzii (at 0.36 % psilocybin dry weight). The active species from Gymnopilus and Inocybe are also known to be weakly active.

The highest potency psychedelic mushrooms come from Psilocybe “Section Cyanescens”, which includes Psilocybe cyanescens (Wavy Caps), Psilocybe azurescens (Flying Saucer mushrooms), and Psilocybe allenii from the Pacific Northwest of North America. This group also includes Australia’s Psilocybe subaeruginosa (the most potent Psilocybe containing 1.93% by dry weight compared to P. azurescens 1.78% by dry weight) and the pouch fungus Psilocybe weraroa from New Zealand. A strong dose of psilocybin from one of these mushrooms can result in experiences similar to DMT.

Most “psychedelic” mushrooms contain psilocybin, but there are a few odd non-psilocybin species. There is little information on rare species, such as the Boletus used in the curious “mushroom madness” of the Kuma of New Guinea and a Lycoperdon puffball used in northern Mexico among the Tarahumara of Chihuahua for divination. There is some information on other rare species, such as Rhodocollybia maculata, which contains collybolide, a k-opioid agonist very similar to salvinorin-a from Salvia divinorum. Another is Inocybe aeruginascin containing the compound aeruginascin and said to elicit an intense euphoria. order shrooms

Last, but not least, there is Amanita muscaria. Amanita muscaria, despite having very strong psychedelic associations in popular culture, would not be considered psychedelic based on the formal definition. A. muscaria does not contain psilocybin or psilocin. The active compounds in this mushroom are muscimol and ibotenic acid, with muscimol (a selective agonist for the GABAA receptor) having a sedative, depressant, and deliriant effect. Amanita muscaria and the related species Amanita pantherina are, however, considered entheogens. By virtue of its psychoactive effects, A. muscaria is often referred to as a “magic mushroom”, but compared to psilocybin-containing mushrooms, the effects are very different.

Regardless of where in the world you are, there is a good chance that magic mushrooms are growing in your region. Some regions of the world are too arid, as mushrooms need water and humidity to grow. However, many Psilocybe species are easy to grow, so if you are urban or in one of those parts of the world where psilocybin mushrooms don’t grow, cultivation is a possibility. Keep in mind the legal issues around foraging and cultivation. While some cities and regions have become decriminalized, most places still have psilocybin listed as a Schedule I drug (Schedule 9, or Class A). If you are caught foraging, you may be guilty of an offence. If you get caught cultivating, that is classed as manufacture. buy Vyvanse Australia

There are still new species being discovered on a regular basis. Compared to other organisms, the distribution and chemistry of fungi are little understood, not to mention how many species there are. With more people taking an interest in foraging and contributing citizen science data, we continue to gain a better understanding of fungi. However, there is still so much to learn around psychedelic mushrooms, which makes it an exciting time to explore the mycological world! order DMT vape carts Australia
