🍄 What Are “Mushies”?

“Mushies” is a slang term commonly used to refer to psychedelic mushrooms—specifically, mushrooms containing psilocybin, a naturally occurring hallucinogenic compound.

• Common types: Psilocybe cubensis, Liberty Caps (Psilocybe semilanceata)

• Effects: Altered perception, visuals, deep introspection, euphoria, and sometimes anxiety

• Onset: 30–60 minutes after ingestion

• Duration: 4–6 hours

They’ve been used for centuries in spiritual and therapeutic contexts, but have seen a resurgence in the UK due to interest in microdosing and psychedelic therapy.
