Brief Description
Psilocybin mushrooms are mushrooms with hallucinogenic qualities. There are at least 186 known species of psilocybin mushrooms. At least 30 of these have been documented in Australia. Mushrooms alter how the brain perceives time, reality and the environment around you. They also affect the way you move, react to situations, think, hear and see.
How are Magic Mushrooms used?
Magic mushrooms are either eaten raw, mixed with food, or brewed into tea or coffee. They can be consume fresh or dried for later use. There is no predictable way of estimating the amount of psilocybin in each mushroom. The amount is determined by the strain, size and age of the mushroom. So be very cautious if you are thinking about taking Magic Mushrooms.
