Mushroom Edibles & Teas
Mushroom Edibles & Teas
With psilocybin 3 Amigos edibles popping up everywhere online and on shelves at smoke shops and convenience stores across Texas, the psychedelic fungus is getting new visibility. But unlike cannabis, which is decriminalized and available legally in many forms, magic mushrooms are still illegal at the state level and only sold on the black market.
The edibles are popular because they’re more appetizing and easier to ingest than raw mushrooms. And in some cases—like gummies and chocolate—the dosing is consistent, so someone can know how much psilocybin they’re taking in every bite or bar. But with homemade mushies, it can be harder to douse a dish precisely. And even when you do, it’s hard to ensure that a small amount of the mushroom doesn’t catapult you into another dimension.
Top Benefits of Adding Mushroom Teas to Your Daily Routine
Mushrooms like maitake (Grifola frondosa), shiitake (Lentinula edodes) and reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) have long been brewed as medicinal teas to treat cancers, promote mental health and ease stress and anxiety. These mushrooms are adaptogenic, meaning they help to regulate the microbiota and counteract oxidative stress.
People have also been brewing herbal teas from Cordyceps species for centuries to treat respiratory issues, such as asthma. These mushrooms are immunomodulators and enhance immune function, as well as act as antioxidants to combat oxidative stress. This is why it’s important to always consult with your doctor before trying herbs or home remedies for any serious medical condition.
