The Dangers of Hallucinogenic Mushroom Spores

If you’re interested in the history of hallucinogenic mushrooms, or just want to learn more about them, keep reading. We will be discussing Psilocybin and Mycelium as well as their legal status in the U.S., and the dangers associated with mushroom spores. The most immediate danger is that these spores could be highly addictive.

Psilocybin

Although it is possible to grow your own hallucinogenic mushrooms at home, this is not recommended. They are not sterilized and could be contaminated by mold and bacteria. You can make your own psilocybin mushrooms oil using vermiculite, brown rice flour, and pressure cookers.

Mycelium

The initial stage of development of hallucinogenic mushroom spores can be described as the mycelium knot. The appearance and the time of mushroom development are influenced by light. Light can increase or decrease the amount of psilocybin or psilocyn. The fungus is sensitive to light. The spores can be used as a therapeutic drug, but the results will depend on the dose.

Legality

The purchase of psilocybin spores on the internet is legal, but the question is how do you determine if they are coming from a legitimate source. A legitimate spore dealer will have an established web presence, accept recognized payment platforms, and be knowledgeable in the laws. In addition, these traders are only selling products for education, research, and identification purposes, and not for personal use.

Legality in the United States

The legality of hallucinogenic spores in the United States is dependent on the type of psilocybin contained in the mushrooms. Although it is illegal to grow these fungi for personal usage, it is legal to obtain the spores for research and also to sell them as collectibles. Three states have explicitly banned the cultivation of these fungi, while other states have laws that are more relaxed. These fungi are used to study taxonomy and research in science.

Detection of psilocybin in mycelium

Research has been focused on the presence of psilocybin in some fungi and in the fruit bodies of hallucinogenic mushrooms. Studies in the past have demonstrated the connection between Psilocybin’s hallucinogenic effects and Psilocybin. In this study, researchers looked at Psilocybin in Psilocybe semilanceata. It is a European species of agaric mushrooms.

Legality of syringes with the spores

Certain cities in the United States have decriminalized the possession and sale of hallucinogenic mushroom spores. Some states have allowed their sale, but others remain against the use of the psychoactive ingredient psilocybin that is found in hallucinogenic mushrooms. In Colorado and Idaho however, selling or possessing these spores are illegal.
