Magic mushrooms, also known as psilocybin mushrooms, are a type of mushroom that contain chemicals that cause hallucinogenic effects. They can last anywhere from a few days to up to a year depending on the harvesting and storage methods and conditions. The longest-lasting conditions are a few days to a year. Magic mushrooms can develop mold or bacteria over time, and if they’re not stored properly, they can become dangerous to consume.
Psychedelic mushrooms, like any fungus, will eventually decompose and provide a tempting snack for dangerous contaminants like molds. The method of storage determines the length of their shelf-life and the viability of their psychoactive compounds. Fresh mushrooms will last, but it is essential to choose a cool, dark place, ideally below 70°F (21°C). Freezing psilocybin can cause the substance to degrade, leading to a negative impact on the health of the individual.
Magic mushrooms can go bad when not stored properly or kept for an extended period of time. The potency and quality of the psychedelic compounds in the mushroom may degrade, leading to a negative impact on the individual’s health. The production, sale, and possession of magic mushrooms are illegal in Canada, but there is increasing interest in the potential therapeutic uses of these mushrooms.
The shelf life of magic mushrooms depends on factors such as the type and potency of the mushroom, dose, and the person’s body type. Leafly experts explain the best ways to store magic mushrooms so you’re ready for your next trip to the store. Psilocybin or magic mushrooms are naturally occurring and are consumed for their hallucinogenic effects, making them a valuable addition to any medicinal regimen.

I had a bad trip off 5 grams last night. I don’t feel very good and there really aren’t words for the kind of fear the gripped me. Now, almost 24 hours later, I’m still a bit shaken up, but overall I’m mentally and physically ok. If I did the same thing with alcohol I wouldn’t have experienced the fear, but I could have actually died.
I decided to use mushrooms for depression 2 years ago, the colors were vibrant and all. After the trip ended, i suddenly had a panic attack and life suddenly had lost its meaning, and when i look around, i couldnt make sure if i was seeing the right colors, if i was seeing them too vibrant or not. The world seemed like a magical place and not real. It kept being not real even after the trip ended. I lost the meaning in life and its still lost. Anyone has idea what that means?
Psyched Substance vlogger says psychedelics can magnify what you’re feeling before you take them. If you’re not feeling safe mentally at the time of taking them, then you’ll probably have a bad time tripping, the reverse is true too. The sharmins in the Amazon rainforest are there to help people through any frightening experiences they may have. People find these retreats very healing . Personally I think everyone needs a trip sitter who knows what they are doing. When you think about it your consciousness or mind is going into another realm and many have had weird and sometimes disturbing experiences. Most experiences can be incredible but there’s always that one time it can go the other way.
After doing Mushrooms and LSD I lost all social Anxiety, depression, I started pursuing Back to continuing my gym grind and building a social media, overall happiness, I started going back on 3 hour walks everyday outdoors and enjoying life, overall I became a more strengthened and pure person after psychedelics.
I’ve underestimated some very potent mushrooms once (after having a bad day and quitting nicotine on that day) and ended up in the hospital with drug induced psychosis. Genuinly felt like a dementia patient. i took my shirt off and tried to burn it because i thought it would end the trip because the shirt was cursed. every other trip ive had was wonderful, except that one time i lost my grip on reality. stay safe out there.
I know 2 people in 2 different generations that abused lsd though and are shells of people, they have destroyed their brains to the point of schizophrenia. I am a huge advocate of mushrooms and their amazing benefits but anything that completely alters tour consciousness needs to be treated with absolute respect
The problem is not the drug itself humans. So many problems can be fixed by lifestyle changes and decisions. Not everything is some “spiritual awakening.” Depression has become this term that has become so loosely thrown around to describe moments of unhappiness or dissatisfaction with one’s self. I always felt like I struggled with depression and I remember trying shrooms. I felt so good, I would micro-dose and I felt like that was the answer. But when I stopped I always reverted back to my “old self.” Late 20s I went back to college, actually focused on being the best version of myself. Studied and focused, graduated with a 3.8. Studied for the LSAT and got into a good law school. I’m in my final year and I have NEVER been happier and more satisfied. If shrooms or psychedelics can help “enlighten” you, great. But I truly believe the real path is working hard for what you want and feeling that success. Humans have this innate desire to not waste life and live to their potential. I truly feel like sometimes psychoactive drugs can just give you this illusion you’re finally happy and content.
Had a buddy in high school that was into all kinds of psychedelia.. lsd, shrooms, dxm, dmt, sativa.. we’d try to get our hands on something for a fun weekend “trip”… he already had his own apartment at 18 after dropping out of high school which allowed unchecked drug use…. dropping out is bad but it isnt THAT bad- as he eventually got a GED and worked some menial jobs… the REAL problem was that high LSD use at a young age seemingly triggered some kind of dormant schizophrenia. he struggled 9 years to remain on earth till early one morning, possibly on the come down from something or in some other depressive state, jumped in front of a semi truck on a nearby interstate. its now been almost another 9 years since his departure. This may seem dark but he had a favorite quote from his fav film ‘fear and loathing’ – “too weird to live, too rare to die.” i dont think either line really apply but he wouldve loved to have it on his gravestone im sure lol. rip buddy, till we meet again on the astral plane.
Mushrooms are the opposite of addictive for me. I do them, get hit with a huge dose of fear and anxiety as I feel my veins run cold, only to warm up as the trip starts and become warm and calm. But that initial fear is something that is unattractive to me and that’s why I only use mushrooms a couple of times a year. I also love the foraging aspect. It feels good to stumble on some liberty caps and take them home, it’s ritualistic.
I took ayahuasca 6 months ago and I have been extremely unstable for the past 6 months. Please be aware at the places you go for psychedelic trips. It can be very powerful but also extremely painful if you do not know what you are expecting. Please try therapy, meditation, breathwork and do not go immediately for ayahuasca or psychedelics.
Psychedelics can be a real eye opener. So if you do decite to take them, don’t be afraid of what your subconscious is trying to tell you and learn from it. If you feel like you really learned something from your trip the most important thing comes after. Which is when you implement your lessons. Psychedelics can give you mental clarity but it doesn’t change your life from one day to the other for good. You still have to work to change your life. Life is the biggest do it yourself project. And it’s awesome ones you accept that.
What about the consequences for those with a predisposition for developing schizophrenia? When I developed schizophrenia, it was an acid trip that never went away. 3 years later I still have to take medications. I remember doing shrooms every month, and one day It never really went away and then the prodromal phase of my schizophrenia began.
I had a couple friends back in the ’70s that REALLY pushed the envelope, taking huge amounts of LSD. When they were done with the long ‘experiment’ (for lack of a better term) one turned out pretty much normal, although much more quiet and reserved than he was before the journey. But the other one is GONE. He slowly wanders around the streets in his own world, just looking looking and not interacting with anybody. Completely lost.
