- Fact-checked by Dr. Desiree Granados
Psilocybin is a naturally occurring substance found in certain types of mushrooms. It has been shown to have antidepressant, anti-addictive, and pro-social effects when administered to humans. Anecdotal evidence suggests that it may improve overall mental health.
The primary psychoactive component of these mushrooms is the molecule psilocybin, which is quickly broken down by stomach acids into smaller molecules called psilocin. The drug does not typically last for more than six hours per dose, with one dose being about four grams. There are many ways you can ingest these mushrooms, including chewing them raw or boiling them in water to make tea.

Psilocybin tea can be made by boiling water and adding the mushrooms. The tea can also be made with crushed or powdered mushrooms. It should be strained, and the mushrooms can be eaten or discarded.
Though tea can taste better than raw mushrooms, the potency of the mushrooms is most pronounced when they are eaten raw. When the mushrooms are dried or cooked, their potency decreases.
