What is Magic Mushroom?
Magic Mushrooms are psilocybin mushrooms that are consumed to experience halogenic effects. You will find yourself experiencing a wonderful trip after consuming these psychedelic mushrooms. The effects start showing within 30 minutes of ingestion and will give you an intense trip for more than 5 hours. These mushrooms can be eaten raw, brewed with tea, dipped into chocolate, or mixed with some food to reduce its bitterness.
How to identify Magic Mushroom?
Most psilocybin mushrooms are described as 'Little Brown Mushrooms with brown cap, tiny stature, white-fringe between the gills and top of the cap, and layered gelatinous pellicle. The gelatinous pellicle is a slimy, translucent membrane found on the top layer of the cap of fresh mushroom which can be easily peeled off. And its flesh turns blue when crushed. So, if you find a little brown mushroom with a gelatinous layer on its cap, turns blue when bruised, and is filled with a purple-brown spore print, then it is edible. It may or may not be a magic mushroom but it will not kill you for sure.

During this stage, mushrooms have round caps, covered gills without spores. You will have to twist its stem gently to pluck the mushroom from the cake.

You can yield up to four flushes from the same cake but the maximum yield can be obtained from the first two batches compared to the later ones.
