OVERVIEW
You might have heard about the psilocybin in mushrooms being responsible for such changes, but that’s only part of the equation. In the course of digestion, our body breaks down the psilocybin into psilocin, which is what creates the “high” that psilocybin mushrooms produce.
DOSAGE
You’re in for a good time with appropriate strains and dosing, no matter which type of psychedelic mushroom you eat. Any magic mushroom strain provides an amazing experience when taken responsibly.
USAGE
There are several ways that you can consume shrooms. You can simply eat them fresh or dry, or you can prepare them in teas, food, or capsules.
You can make tea by simply adding chopped dried mushrooms to just-boiled water. Leave the brew for 20 minutes or so, then strain it. Magic mushroom tea produces a quicker onset of effects and a more intense come-up compared to eating raw mushrooms.
Dried magic mushrooms can also be ground into a powder and used in various ways. Putting the powder into capsules is a great method for those that hate the taste of magic mushrooms. It’s also a good way to take Psilocybe azurescens due to the shroom’s potency. You can easily fit a single psychedelic dose inside an average-sized capsule.
The mushroom powder can also be used in cooking. There’s a wide range of edibles you can make, but it’s important to know how to use shrooms in cooking since psilocybin can deteriorate through heat.
EFFECTS
Taking too much psilocybin can lead to unpleasant delirium, extreme nausea, vomiting, and an all-around bad time. Be careful with this shroom when dosing. I mentioned this earlier, but don’t take this shroom’s potency lightly — it’s on another level to your average magic mushroom.
Another risk associated with Psilocybe azurescens specifically is something a little strange, a phenomenon that’s rare but well worth mentioning — “Wood Lovers Paralysis” (WLP).
WLP occasionally occurs one to three hours after the ingestion of Psilocybe mushrooms that grow on wood. There’s currently no explanation as to why this occurs, but it’s frequently talked about on psychedelic-related forums such as Shroomery.

The effects of Wood Lovers Paralysis include muscle weakness and a loss of motor control. This can last anywhere from a few hours to well into the day after. The effects of WLP shouldn’t be confused with the effects of a potent psilocybin trip. WLP can occur even at low doses.
This compound is very similar to psilocybin and may undergo a similar change to the conversion of psilocybin to psilocin.
Wood Lovers Paralysis doesn’t happen to everyone, and it doesn’t seem to be fatal, but it could cause worry and anxiety and has the potential to send you spiraling into a bad trip.
LEGALITY
The good news is that the laws around psychedelics are changing. Two states, Colorado and Oregon, have legalized and/or decriminalized their use altogether. Some cities around the country have moved to decriminalize their use as well, and several states are having ongoing discussions around legalization.
That said, there are still many states where flying saucer mushrooms and other psychedelics are wholly illegal, so it’s always a good idea to be aware of the laws in your area.
CONCLUSION
This species has an extremely small natural dispersion and only grows in a few states in North America. Its habitat is close to coastal waters, and it loves wood. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to cultivate indoors due to the challenges associated with creating an optimum growing environment, but it’s possible to get shrooms for years if you do it outside.
