Mushrooms that contain psilocybin, which is a psychedelic that contains the substances psilocin and psilocybin, and may include other psychoactive tryptamines, are considered to be active mushrooms. At an ancient mountain range in the Sahara desert there are many rock paintings of these all natural mushrooms, which have led leading archaeologists and scientists to believe that these magic mushrooms have been taken in some form for thousands of years.

According to experts, people took these mushrooms for their hallucinogenic effect, in order to make a path to follow to the afterlife and God. However, they also ate this active, organic mushroom as a dietary supplement. The Mayans were thought to have a mushroom culture or cult, as they built massive temples in honor of the mushroom, which played a role in the religion of the natives. Sculptures and paintings of this wild mushroom were found in temples next to the paintings of their gods.

Active mushrooms, when taken in low doses, will usually produce a lightheaded feeling and most people report a need to giggle or laugh as well. They can also affect your short term memory, resulting in difficulty to remember things. If you were to take this mushroom in a medium or stronger dose, then you may find that images, sound and colors will become sharper and brighter. Sometimes when these mushrooms are taken even at that dosage, you may feel nauseous or experience a headache.

Taken in a heavy or strong dose, these all natural mushrooms may result in seeing hallucinations. Some people report that they even see God, Allah, Buddha, etc. Others report having a feeling of being able to fly, which makes it very unsafe for someone who is inexperienced with taking these mushrooms to ingest a high dose. Taking them in these large doses can often result in what is called a “bad trip,” resulting in disturbing images and feeling stressed. When the brain is under the influence of this mushroom it is not always able to buffer negative thinking and this may result in a downward spiral. Since it can take up to 90 minutes to feel the effects many people start to think that they are not working and will ingest more, causing a bad reaction.

If you are considering experimenting with active mushrooms, it is always recommended that you start with a low dose. If you are using dried mushrooms, then 1 gram will usually produce the lightheaded feeling described above. If you are not feeling anything after about 90 minutes, then you can take another gram but this tends to produce a medium effect. Some people will take up to 2 grams at one time in order to produce heavier and quicker results and still others take up to 5 grams but this can have very bad results. If you are using fresh mushrooms you would just multiply the dose by 10, thus 10 grams of fresh would produce the light effects.
