Moon Shroom

Moon shroom is a natural mushroom that contains psilocybin and psilocin, making them highly psychotropic. Growing in soil, their stems generally grow 2-3 inches, with convex, outwardly rounded circular caps 4-6 inches. The stems are generally white, with yellow-brown caps and yellow-green spores. The spores do not produce the potent psychotropic effects of the mushroom itself, but have calming and pain-reducing effects, prompting their inclusion in many brewed potions. The species got its name because they grow in a cycle similar to that of the moon, reaching full maturity during the nights of the full moon.

Effects of ingestion usually begin 20 minutes to a half-hour after consumption and can last anywhere from two to six hours. Due to the mushroom’s ability to alter time perception, the effects can seem to last much longer to the user. Sensory effects include visual and auditory hallucinations. Depending on the mental state of the user, these hallucinations may be pleasant and enjoyable, or may produce heightened anxiety and terror.
