If you are asking if when they take a blood/urine/hair sample if psilocybin can be detected;

The answer is yes. Psilocybin can be detected for just a little over a week after ingestion. The catch is, it is a particular test. On another note, most police law enforement agencies give a lifestyle polygragh evaluation. You will be asked if you have ever taken any illicit drugs. Psilocybin is a schedule one controlled substance under federal law. Though they say answering truthfully will not immediately bar you from employment, you should most likely pursue another career path.

Does shrooms show up in a mouth swab test?

Let me tell you all about mushrooms. The active ingredient in magic mushrooms is Psilocybin. It looks NOTHING like any other drug, so it won't cross-react with one of the standard tests. Mushrooms aren't a common drug, so unless you give your tester a reason to look for mushrooms--like you got busted with them, or you keep coming to work with fresh cow manure on your shoes when you live in an apartment (mushrooms grow on fresh cow manure), they're not going to pay to have you tested for them. Besides, there's not enough time to really test someone for mushrooms. The halflife of psilocybin in your body is one hour. The halflife of the more-active psilocin is eight. (Psilocybin is a "prodrug"--when you eat mushrooms your body converts psilocybin to psilocin.) If you go to a mushroom party at 9pm, leave at midnight and get tested for mushrooms at 9am, you'll most likely be clean. So...why would they even want to test you? About all that test is good for is to back up a possession charge. OTOH, mushrooms are a reasonably safe drug so long as you know what you're looking for when you go out to pick them. The therapeutic index--the ratio of effective dose to lethal dose--is 641. If you need to eat 1 gram of mushrooms to get high, you need to eat 641 grams to die from them.


How long after taking magic mushrooms would you need before it does not show up in drug test?

Maybe a day, because the half-life of mushrooms in urine is very short. OTOH, it is very rare to test someone for mushrooms because the test is expensive and you almost have to catch someone while he's still high to get a positive.
