Active Mushrooms In Low Doses

By Veronica Tripplethorn

Active mushrooms are mushrooms that contain psilocybin, which is a psychedelic substance that contains both psilocybin and psilocin, and sometimes other various psychoactive tryptamines.

Scientists and archaeologists speculate that these "magic mushrooms" have been ingested by people for many centuries. In the Sahara Desert, in and among a prehistoric mountain range, there are many rock paintings depicting these organic mushrooms.

According to experts, people took these mushrooms for their hallucinogenic effect, in order to make a path to follow to the afterlife and God. However, they also ate this active, organic mushroom as a dietary supplement.

Mayans Honoring Magic Mushrooms

The Mayans were thought to have a mushroom culture or cult, as they built massive temples in honor of the mushroom, which played a role in the religion of the natives. Sculptures and paintings of this wild mushroom were found in temples next to the paintings of their gods.

Active mushrooms, when taken in low doses, will usually produce a lightheaded feeling and most people report a need to giggle or laugh as well. They can also affect your short term memory, resulting in difficulty to remember things.

Medium And High Doses Can Result In Seeing Hallucinations

If you were to review your options and take this mushroom in a medium or stronger dose, then you may find that images, sound and colors will become sharper and brighter. Sometimes when these mushrooms are taken even at that dosage, you may feel nauseous or experience a headache.

Taken in a heavy or strong dose, these all natural mushrooms may result in seeing hallucinations. Some people report that they even see God, Allah, Buddha, etc. Others report having a feeling of being able to fly, which makes it very unsafe for someone who is inexperienced with taking these mushrooms to ingest a high dose.

Disturbing Images And Feeling Stressed

Taking them in these large doses can often result in what is called a "bad trip," resulting in disturbing images and feeling stressed. When the brain is under the influence of this mushroom it is not always able to buffer negative thinking and this may result in a downward spiral. Since it can take up to 90 minutes to feel the effects many people start to think that they are not working and will ingest more, causing a bad reaction.

If you are considering experimenting with active mushrooms, it is always recommended that you start with a low dose. If you are using dried mushrooms, then 1 gram will usually produce the lightheaded feeling described above.

Increasing Dosage With Bad Results

If you are not feeling anything after about 90 minutes, then you can take another gram but this tends to produce a medium effect. Some people will take up to 2 grams at one time in order to produce heavier and quicker results and still others take up to 5 grams but this can have very bad results.

If you are using fresh mushrooms you would just multiply the dose by 10, thus 10 grams of fresh would produce the light effects.

More Facts About Mushrooms...

What are medicinal mushrooms?
Medicinal mushrooms are a bit of a misnomer in the fact that most edible mushrooms do have medicinal properties. There really are not any that do not aid the body in some way. Granted there are some that are better than others but it really depends on the result you want.

The heartier strains of mushrooms give off the best benefits but come with a much bolder taste. Those button mushrooms that are included in so many dishes also offer up some medicinal qualities but not as much as the aforementioned.

Regardless of what type of mushroom you are eating, provided it is not hallucinogenic or poisonous, you are reaping the benefits of its medicinal qualities. You would be amazed at the varieties of edible mushrooms that can actually improve your body’s health.
