For many people, the idea of microdosing with psychedelic mushrooms seems counterintuitive. But these aren’t just your average fungi; they’re like a chemistry set, containing a mind-boggling array of compounds that scientists have only just begun to unlock.

According to various online sources, LSD and microdosing mushrooms online are the drugs most commonly used for microdosing. LSD is often consumed as a blotter tab (absorbent paper saturated with liquid LSD sold as small squares) and psilocybin is found in certain species of mushrooms that can be ground into a powder for encapsulation and consumption. Many consumers also reported growing their own psilocybin-containing mushrooms using kits they purchase online (Lea, Amada and Jungaberle Citation2020a). Across these information sources, most users prepared psilocybin doses by grinding mushroom material into a powder, which helps ensure consistent dosing.

The resulting psilocin is psychoactive and is a partial agonist of serotonin receptors in the brain. The psilocybin is then broken down by the liver into a range of other compounds including psilocybin acid, psilocin, and ergoline. These are absorbed through the intestinal tract, where they reach the brain and produce a variety of effects including altered consciousness.

Anecdotal reports suggest that psilocin can help with issues such as anxiety and depression, though more research is needed to confirm these claims. It is worth noting, however, that anecdotal reports also point to the risks of microdosing, such as overstimulation and the possibility of paranoia. Additionally, psilocybin may not be the right drug for someone with any mental health concerns or history of bipolar disorder.
