Short answer:<\/strong> magic mushrooms are mushrooms that contain psilocybin, a compound the body converts into psilocin. Psilocin changes perception, mood and thinking for roughly 4 to 6 hours. They are not physically toxic in the way many drugs are, but they do carry real psychological risks, and fresh or dried magic mushrooms have been banned in the Netherlands since 2008. Magic truffles contain the same compounds and are legal there.<\/p>\n

This guide explains what magic mushrooms are, what the effects are like, the risks and who should avoid them, what research says, and how they differ from truffles.

    What are magic mushrooms?<\/h2>\n

    “Magic mushrooms” is the common name for mushrooms that contain psilocybin. Around 200 species are known, most of them in the genus Psilocybe<\/em>. The best known is Psilocybe cubensis<\/a><\/em>, which includes popular strains such as Golden Teacher.<\/p>\n

    After you take them, the body converts psilocybin into psilocin. Psilocin acts mainly on serotonin 5-HT2A receptors in the brain, which is what causes the changes in perception and thinking.
