technically no. But psilocybin is a poison though. That is what produces the hallucinations. it makes the stem of your brain bleed. The blood covers your brain forcing it to come up with images and blocking signals giving an extremely satisfying body high.:)
WHO EVER WROTE THE ABOVE STATEMENT IS IGNORANT. MUSHROOMS DO NOT MAKE YOUR BRAIN BLEED.
"These types of mushrooms belong to the genus Psilocybe.Mushrooms of other genera can also cause hallucinations, but many purists insist that Psilocybe mushrooms are the "true" magic mushrooms. Psilocybe mushrooms cause hallucinations because they contain the psychotropic tryptamines psilocybin and psilocin (some species also contain other, weaker psychotropic compounds like baeocystin or norbaeocystin). A single mushroom contains anywhere from 0.2 to 0.4 percent psilocybin." http://health.howstuffworks.com/magic-mushroom.htm
that quote is just the tip of a huge iceburg and if you ever hear someone say that shrooms or LSD will make your brain bleed it is your responsibilty to remind them they are being ignorant.
You can be allergic to many things within the mushroom itself. Many people are allergic to the penicillin and sulfa in the mushroom.
There is no difficulty. Psilocybin is a non-addictive substance.
The only functional group of psilocybin is LSD.
Although psilocybin is not typically tested for, it can be detected in a urinalysis.
No, in psilocybin mushrooms, there is a milder hallucinogenic agent called, obviously, psilocybin. Mescalin is stronger (proportional to how much you are taking) and it is commonly found in a cactus.
The main substances in magic mushrooms that contribute to its 'trippy' nature and Psilocin and Psilocybin. Psilocybin is a prodrug for Psilocin which means the body converts Psilocybin into Psilocin.
Psilocybin mushrooms, are fungi that contain the medicinal compounds psilocybin and psilocin. A more danger is that poisonous (sometimes lethal) wild picked mushrooms can be easily mistaken for psilocybin mushrooms, but true psilocybin mushrooms are non-toxic. Magic mushrooms contain psilocin and psilocybin psilocybin. These compounds are psychedelics. They will cause an effect similar to a "trip" on LSD. Loss of reality may be experienced and severe anxiety and paranoia can occur. You may experience a bad trip.
Psilocybin is ingested to the blood stream. Within the first hour majority of the psilocybin will be converted into Psilocin. The psilocin acts as a neurotransmitters in the brain, sending it's own signals.
The intensity of the psilocybin is determined by the measure of care taken when "growing" the fungus.
The correct spelling is psilocybin, for the hallucinogenic chemical or the mushrooms in which it is commonly found.
Psilocybin-containing mushrooms are psychedelic hallucinogens of the tryptamine class.
