Psilocybin | How Psilocybin Works?
Psilocybin is the “magic” compound within mushrooms of the genus psilocybe. When psilocybin mushroom is taken, it is converted in the body to psilocin, a chemical with psychoactive properties similar to those of LSD, mescaline, and DMT. Psilocin acts on the central nervous system to produce a psychedelic effect of hallucinations that seems to be real. Although humans have been using psilocybin mushrooms for millennia, our society is only beginning to understand the way they work within the body once consumed.
Appearance of Psilocybin Mushrooms

It should be noted that magic mushrooms have long, slender white or greyish stems that are topped by caps with dark gills on the underside. Apart from this, when dried, they are usually a reddish rust brown colour with isolated areas of off-white. Also, psiolocybin mushrooms have many types and the most commonly found ones are golden tops, blue meanies, liberty caps, etc.
How is Psilocybin Mushrooms Used?
Clearly, hallucinogen mushrooms, either fresh or dried, can be orally used. It is most commonly consumed in the form of fruiting mushroom bodies, brewed into tea for drinking, or sclerotia. Also, extracted psilocybin in capsule form is a means of ensuring a controlled dosage. Though, rarely, people inject the extracts of magic mushrooms intravenously.

How does Psilocybin Works?
Unquestionably, psilocybin metabolises into psilocin which greatly acts on the central nervous system. The chemicals psilocybin and psilocin are natural hallucinogens with a structure very similar to the serotonin’s structure. In particular, serotonin is a chemical messenger that plays important roles in our brain and digestive systems.
After consuming psilocybin, the user’s stomach begins to attack it with enzymes, removing the molecule’s phosphate group and leaving us with psilocin. Psilocybin most often, activates serotonin receptor in the prefrontal cortex of the brain as though a food of real serotonin has been consumed. Subsequently, this affects mood, cognition, and perception, after binding to the receptors in the brain that are meant for serotonin. Recent studies stipulate that psilocybin induces a state of “hyperconnectedness”. This is a state in which new neutral pathways are forged, allowing different parts of the brain to communicate that wouldn’t normally.
Also, hallucinogens also work in the brain’s other regions, responsible for the arousal and panic responses. After ingestion of psilocybin, the hallucinogenic (psychedelic) effects within body usually triggers within 30 minutes of ingestion and last between 4 and 6 hours. This might last several days in some users. Nonetheless, a full understanding of psilocybin effects is still questionable as per individual differences of its users. Along with, the range of effects can be varied – users might see things in different colours, or overlaid with patterns. Also, senses can be distorted or blurred, and the chemical can have a profound effect on thought – stripping the ego and allowing users to connect with their deepest feelings and emotions. Following, some users report a sense of spiritual communion and contact with alien species of higher powers.
NB: Psilocybin is about 100 times less potent than LSD and 10 times less potent than mescaline.
“Psilocybin produced a range of acute perceptual changes, subjective experiences, and labile moods including anxiety. Psilocybin also increased measures of mystical experience. At 2 months, the volunteers rated the psilocybin experience as having substantial personal meaning and spiritual significance and attributed to the experience sustained positive changes in attitudes and behavior consistent with changes rated by community observers. -Griffiths et. al.”
Difference between Psilocybin and Psilocin
Absolutely, psilocybin and psilocin are 2 sides of the same coin. They coexist in magic mushrooms with psilocybin being predominant and more stable. Also, they are similar chemically, with psilocin being the psychoactive compound that stimulates the human brain. Both compounds are tryptamines and are very similar in chemical composition to serotonin.
Psilocin oxidises and loses its potency very quickly. This can be observed in the blue, black or purple bruising that occurs when mushrooms are picked. Alternatively, psilocybin has an added phosphorus chain in its makeup which prevents oxidization. This is why psilocybin-containing mushrooms can be dried and kept for a longtime without a drop in potency. In fact, dried psilocybin mushrooms become more potent why dehydrated.
Effects of Using Psilocybin Mushrooms
It is rather true that every drug carries some risk. As such, psilocybin mushroom is no difference and must be consumed with caution. Psychedelic mushrooms also cause different effects when they are consumed. And, some of these effects are generally similar to those of LSD such as altered perception of time, space, and intense changes in mood and feeling. This change varies from one person to another, depending on factors like size, weight and health. Also, the strength of the mushrooms and the amount taken has an impact on the user’s experience. It is therefore important to note that what may be an appropriate dose for your friend is not same dose for you.
Along with, during a trip, psilocybin mushrooms can induce visual and auditory hallucinations in people and make them feel euphoric. Hallucination is a situation where a user can imagine change in colour tones, movement in surface, and formation of colourful fractal patterns.
How Users Reacts to it?
Typically, users experience these effects around 30 minutes to 1 hour after consuming a psilocybin mushroom orally. For some users, the experience can be regrettable or just a bit of interesting fun. Some users may experience nausea and stomach discomfort as well as changes in heart rate, changes in blood pressure, tremor, dilated pupils, restlessness or arousal.
However, many users who experienced negative emotions can simultaneously accept the sense of calmness and detachment from them, especially if they remind themselves that the emotions they are feeling are temporary. Though, tolerance develops rapidly if a user continually uses magic mushrooms. Over time, the drug will have little or no effect on the user.
Conversely, though many withdrawal effects of magic mushrooms are not known, a user may experience some psychological effects or fatigue after withdrawing. The effects of magic mushrooms can kick in usually after 10 to 60 minutes after consuming. The effects of strong dose will continue for hours, so after a trip, it is dangerous to drive or work hard for a user.

Though even in small doses psilocybin can produce hallucinogenic effects, it is as well used to give relief to people who are suffering from chronic cluster headaches. Also, many investigations have reported that the use of psilocybin alongside psychotherapy can treat some psychiatric problems such as obsessive compulsive disorder and depression. Though, more research studies are needed to investigate these potential medical uses further. Nowadays, many psychological specialists use psilocybin and similar hallucinogens as a treatment to reduce the symptoms of depression.
Health Risks of Using Psilocybin Mushrooms
There are several health risks of using psilocybin mushrooms that a user can experience, some of which are physically toxic to your body while others are harmful for the brain.

It is quite common that users may experience difficult moments due to the negative effects of hallucinogenic mushrooms or bad trips but usually these can be overcome. It is said that high doses of magic mushrooms can increase the risks of disastrous, prolonged and traumatic effects called a ‘psychedelic crisis’, but this is not common. The users can suffer more with the increased risk of unpleasant effects if they take drug without preparation or if they take drug in an unsafe environment. Also, some users may experience persistent, distressing visual alterations among the world around them.
