Modern research on magic mushrooms began in the 1960s – but it is likely that they were used by prehistoric people for rituals as long ago as 10 000 BC – read more about magic mushrooms in history here.

Most magic mushrooms are small mushrooms with long, pale stems and light- to mid-brownish caps. Like the “truffle” part of the mushroom, which is a knobby cluster of mycelium that develops below ground, the stem and cap of a magic mushroom contain active psychedelic compounds called biocytin, psilocin, and, primarily, psilocybin.

There are hundreds of species of mushrooms containing psilocybin, but some of the most popular and renowned include Psilocybin cogenesis (which is easy to cultivate indoors); the potent Psilocybin semilanceata (“Liberty cap”), and Psilocybin azurescens; also known as Flying Saucers, Blue Runners, Blue Angels, or Azzie’s.

Take note: some magic mushrooms look a lot like poisonous mushrooms that grow in the same environment. We wouldn’t generally advise trying to pick wild magic mushrooms,
for this reason (if you insist, however, this guide may help you to spot toxic species in the wild). There are a number of online stores that sell magic mushroom growing kits, and that is really a safer way to go.
