Psilocybe cubensis or magic mushroom
It belongs to the fungus family Hymenogastraceae and was previously known as Stropharia cubensis. It is the best-known psilocybin mushroom due to its wide distribution and ease of cultivation.
During a psilocybin trip, rushes of emotion are particularly common, including euphoria and a sense of total immersion in your surroundings. These are often accompanied by visual changes; the boundaries between shapes may blur, the air may take on a substantial, hazy quality. Try closing your eyes; the darker your environment, the more the mushrooms can work their visual magic on the landscape of your mind. The divide between the real and the imaginal can disappear altogether, ushering the new, lighter-feeling you into a world beyond the everyday; a realm which feels timeless and full of creative possibilities…
The psilocybin experience is, of course, different for everyone, but all psilocybin trips follow a similar pattern and timeline:
Psilocybin can “reset” your mind, allowing you to move past depressive thinking. Looking at the effects of psilocybin on people with treatment-resistant depression, the team were able to correlate changes in brain function before versus after psilocybin to lasting improvements in mood.
Most psilocybin converts to psilocin within one hour after ingesting shrooms. Most psilocin leaves the body via urine, bile and feces, during the first eight hours. After 24 hours, only trace amounts of psilocin will remain in the body. These traces will not show up in tests, and will leave the body after a few days; the timeframe of this varies between individuals, depending on factors such as the speed of their metabolism and general overall health.
