The Different Types of Magic Mushrooms and Their Unique Properties

magic mushroom spores

Edible mushrooms are very often used in gastronomy. However, there are also species famous for something other than their taste. Known as magic, psychedelic, or psychotropic mushrooms, they can cause differences in perception, mood, and behavior.

Most of these types of fungi belong to the genus Psilocybe. There are also mushrooms from other genera that can cause hallucinations, but many purists say the Psilocybe shrooms are the “real” magic mushrooms. Germinated magic mushroom spores cause hallucinations since they contain psychotropic substances (psilocybin and psilocin). Some species also contain weaker psychotropic compounds (e.g., baeocystin or norbaeocystine).

However, it is essential to know the use of magic mushrooms is illegal in many parts of the country. At the same time, we must mention that sound healing practices vary widely, and some may not have scientific evidence to support their positive effects. So, it is vital to consider legal and ethical issues seriously before engaging in any alternative medicine practice.

Why are Magic Mushroom Spores Important for Science

Image
Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic substance found in many species of mushrooms. People have used it for thousands of years for healing, religious ceremonies and magical practices. Some nationalities, for example, Masateki, have not abandoned this tradition to this day. Since the 1960s, information about psilocybin and the magic mushrooms has spread throughout the Western world. Soon the widespread use of it and of other psychedelics such as LSD and mescaline was restricted by legislation that also halted scientific research into hallucinogenic substances. In recent years, loosening regulations on purchasing magic mushroom spores for healthcare research has allowed scientists to begin researching psilocybin again. It turns out that this is a very complex compound that may serve as a tool for studying the brain and consciousness, and which may also act as a remedy for various psychological disorders. Psilocybin is a substance with very low physical toxicity but has a st
