Introduction

Welcome to the world of everything shrooms! If you are reading this book you are interested in their magical properties, right? Congratulations, because we will explore every aspect of them and more. Mushrooms are a controversial topic, as some deem them evil while others see them as God’s gift to the human race. Regardless of your personal viewpoints, I’m quite sure you won't view magic mushrooms the same after reading this book. There’s a reason they’re called magic!

Although these little beauties aren’t really filled with magic, they do have an effect on the body, and ingesting them will put you on a super life-changing journey if you use them responsibly.

There are over 180 different species of mushrooms that contain Psilocybin, which has psychedelic-'mind altering'-effects, hence the name 'magic mushrooms'. The end result or your ‘trip’ will differ from other individuals depending on the setting and your personality.

Shrooms are generally picked and eaten raw, but you can dry them or cook with them too. Be aware, though, that heat exposure will decrease its potency as Psilocybin degrades at higher temperatures. Shrooms come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, grow in various areas including forests as well as urban areas and are quite versatile.

Shrooms are like anything else in life; if used in moderation, they can enrich your world with loads of deep, meaningful thoughts about the universe, the cosmos, and yourself. In fact, you might learn the answers to questions you’ve had for years!

Shrooms have even been found to play a positive role in couples therapy! Some couples have explained that, through their mushroom experience, they felt a deeper connection and an increased understanding of one another. They could see into each other’s souls and felt an elevated physical link, something that drew them closer together. Even cuddling was a new experience as many people mentioned it felt as if they were melting into each other, becoming one!

At higher dosages, you will begin to hallucinate and ‘trip’, providing you with a magnificent ‘Alice in Wonderland’ encounter lasting up to six hours!

As with any hallucinogenic, your trip will depend on what’s going on with you at that time. If you’re in a negative mental state or bad environment, it’s suggested to avoid psychedelics.

Magic mushrooms aren’t addictive, tolerance builds up fast, and fades as fast as it builds. They can be a very safe, healthy drug if used responsibly. Luckily, the negative stigma of magic mushrooms is fading as scientists have started to realize they have many benefits not yet explored.

Magic mushrooms have been around for centuries. Many cultures have made use of magic mushrooms during ceremonies to enhance their spirituality and for healing purposes. They have various other potential benefits like helping break addictive habits, alleviating anxiety, reducing depression, and increasing one’s creativity. New studies are being done as we speak to see if Psilocybin can be used to treat OCD, PTSD, and several mental health conditions, including eating disorders. They have been used to alleviate pain, including discomfort caused by cancer, phantom limb pain, and cluster headaches. There are many more potential uses, but we will look at these in more detail as we move through the chapters.

For now, all you need to know is that Psilocybin, the compound in magic mushrooms, can have a deep impact on the brain, specifically in areas that regulate mood, awareness, and understanding. Many shroom users have stated that they feel more open-minded and relaxed after a magic mushroom encounter.

Magic mushrooms also can help us notice the good as well as the bad in ourselves and our environment, connecting us to nature on a whole other level. Many mushroom users also mention an increase in spirituality after consumption, stating they can feel how their ego just melts away. Some users even stated that during their trip they managed to see themselves and their personal troubles from a better, more positive perspective.

As mentioned previously, numerous research trials are being carried out to uncover more positive properties related to this jovial hallucinogen. So, the future of magic mushrooms is definitely an exhilarating one! Nobody knows what potential lies dormant in the humble shroom, but hopefully, loads of discoveries will be made in the next decade.

Shrooms just have a way of making the world way more interesting. Magic mushrooms can be some of the best tools we, as humans, have to alter the way we see, hear, and experience the world around us. If used responsibly, they can be amazing teachers. Something I bet you didn’t know is that humans and shrooms have similar DNA structures! The mushroom’s genetic composition is more related to humans than plants.

Take note though, it’s imperative that you know exactly what you have before you even think about taking a bite!

If you consume a poisonous or toxic mushroom it can get very ugly.

This is where I come in. In this book, I’m going to take you by the hand and explain every step you need to take to ensure you forage and feast on only the best of the best!

Psilocybin helped me to slow down and come back to the present, which was a big thing for me. I used to be too immersed in the future, which can explain my feelings of anxiety back then. Others live in the past, more related to depression. Today, I feel honored to say that I truly enjoy the journey of life. And I believe Psilocybin was an important turning point.

During my experience, I was able to connect with others on a deeper, more spiritual level and it allowed me true introspection into my own life, experiencing beautiful sensations.

This guide is going to help you identify the good from the dangerous, show you how to grow them, and finally how to use them safely.

So, get ready to not just have your mind blown; be prepared to experience profound emotional revelations and a boost of creativity and positivity. Who knows, magic mushrooms might even provide you with that small nudge required to accelerate overall internal improvement, which could leave you feeling fulfilled and satisfied with just being.
