Mushroom gummies (included in the offering) have become a popular way to consume magic mushrooms. Instead of chewing dried mushrooms or drinking tea, people prepare psilocybin into gummy candy. The result is easier to dose, tastes better, and stores well. Let’s look at what mushroom gummies are, how to make them, and what benefits they bring.
What Mushroom Gummies Are
Mushroom gummies are candies infused with psilocybin mushrooms. The mushrooms are first prepared into a tea or extract. This liquid is then mixed with a gummy base, usually made from gelatin or a vegan substitute. The gummies solidify into bite-sized pieces that each contain a measured amount of psilocybin.
By spreading the total dose across many small gummies, it becomes easier to take consistent and predictable amounts. Instead of weighing dried mushrooms each time, you can take one or two gummies and know what to expect.
Why People Make Gummies
Eating dried mushrooms is not pleasant for everyone. They have a strong earthy flavor and a chewy texture that can upset the stomach. Gummies mask the taste with fruit flavors, making them easier to consume.
Another reason is convenience. Gummies can be divided into equal portions for accurate dosing. They also last longer when stored properly in the fridge or freezer. For microdosing, gummies make it simple to take small, repeatable amounts.
Finally, gummies give flexibility. You can make them strong or mild, depending on how much mushroom extract you add to the batch.
How to Make Mushroom Gummies
Making mushroom gummies is straightforward if you prepare carefully.
Ingredients
- Dried mushrooms, ground or chopped
- 2 cups water
- Gelatin or agar-agar (vegan option)
- Fruit juice or flavored tea
- Sugar or honey (optional)
- Lemon juice (optional, helps extraction and flavor)
Steps
- Prepare mushroom tea: Simmer the ground mushrooms in water for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain out the solids and keep the liquid.
- Mix gummy base: Heat fruit juice in a pan. Sprinkle in gelatin (or agar if vegan) and stir until smooth. Add sugar or honey if you want sweetness.
- Combine: Mix the mushroom tea with the gummy base. Stir well to ensure even distribution of psilocybin.
- Pour into molds: Use silicone molds for even portions.
- Set: Chill in the fridge for at least one hour until solid.
- Store: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks, or in the freezer for longer.
Dosing Tip
Decide your total dose before you start. For example, if you use 3 grams of dried magic mushrooms for a batch and make 30 gummies, each gummy will contain about 0.1 gram worth of psilocybin mushrooms. This makes it easy to track and adjust.
Benefits of Mushroom Gummies
- Better taste: Fruit flavor covers the earthy mushroom taste.
- Gentler on the stomach: Less nausea compared to chewing raw or dried mushrooms.
- Accurate dosing: Each gummy has a predictable amount of psilocybin.
- Longer storage: Gummies last weeks in the fridge and months in the freezer.
- Easy microdosing: Small gummies can be tailored for light daily or weekly use.
Things to Keep in Mind
Heat can break down psilocybin if it is too high. That is why the mushroom tea should simmer gently, not boil hard, and the gummy mix should stay warm but not overly hot.
Potency can vary depending on the mushroom strain and how evenly the extract mixes into the gummy base. Stir well to avoid “hot spots.” Always label your gummies clearly and store them safely away from children or pets.
The Clear Answer
Mushroom gummies are fruit-flavored candies infused with psilocybin. They are easy to make by combining mushroom tea with a gelatin or agar base. People like them because they taste better, cause less stomach upset, and make dosing more reliable.
Final Thoughts
Mushroom gummies offer a practical way to consume psilocybin. They combine convenience, flavor, and flexibility in one method. Whether for microdosing or a moderate journey, gummies provide a simple and effective way to enjoy the benefits of shrooms without the earthy taste of dried mushrooms.
